Be gentle with libbyfish today, she drank her face off last night. Now I have that spacey feeling and just a tinge of a headache, ssshhhhhhhh. I left work last night and stopped at the local wine shop and got a bottle of a lovely chardonnay. I figured that we had about 2 hours to kill before we had to head out to Tiffany’s, what better way to spend it than with a glass of wine. When I got home I found our houseguests had loaded themselves up on cold medicine and did not want to mix. Ok, more for me then, you don’t have to tell me twice. So three quarters of a bottle later we get into a cab and head out to the shindig. We drop our coats, grab some wine and start shopping; nay browsing would be closer to the actual. Although P’s sister and I did find some lovely wedding bands, does someone have four thousand dollars that they would like to donate to the cause? Really, it is lovely, I swear.
Another glass of wine and I am on the floor that is somewhat affordable. It was absolutely packed on the silver floor. Having to navigate through a bunch of woman in Kasper suits and big hair is always tough. By now I have consumed about a bottle and a glass of wine on a somewhat empty stomach and I have a vague recollection of purchasing a bracelet for my mom for Christmas. How disconcerting is that? Everything after that is a bit hazy.
We grabbed a cab back to my apartment and waited for P to get home. P brought another bottle of wine home. Well, gentle readers, how could I say no to a glass of wine with my betrothed? But he bought the BIG bottle, you know the kind… big and not very good. Ah well, wine is wine when you are already in the bag. Again, I have a vague recollection of eating dinner and putting on jammies. I do not, however, have any recollection, vague or otherwise, of how and when I went to bed. I must have been on autopilot because I did set the alarm. Ah, the drunken libbyfish strikes again.
I am paying for it today though. I seriously feel like I am trapped in a bowl of Jell-O. People are talking to me but I am not processing what they are saying. This morning I was trying to get money out of the ATM and it just did not make any sense. I was just standing there puzzled like I had to crack the Da Vinci code.
I just can’t do it today. I need a nap and a complete change of blood.
