A Two Margarita Hangover?

Glass of wineLast night I went to a bridal show. My friend D was a model in the show – pretty much the only way you’d get me in the doors of a bridal show again.

After the show we went to a restaurant that had a live band and had dinner and margaritas.

I swear I only had two. This morning I feel like a truck ran over me in my sleep.

You know when you go somewhere and the experience is so enjoyable it seems utterly surreal? Yeah, that’s the kind of night it was. The dancers on the floor of the mexican restaurant were enjoying themselves so much it was almost unbelievable.

I got a video but have to get it from D’s camera so I can upload it. I hope that it does at least a little justice to the situation so you can see what I mean. I mean, there was even a 50-something guy in a Miami Vice jacket, black t-shirt and long gold rope chain.There was also the over 50 woman that’s about 30 years away from being that email forward about the boob job in the elderly woman. Tight shirt, HUGE globey boobs – the last time I saw those boobs on that body type was my friend the stripper. (Yes, back in the day one of my friends was a stripper. I get around.)

It was amazing.

The cover band had three singers (one kinda looked like Remarkablogger – made me wonder if he sings…) and managed to sing Jethro Tull, Beatles, Pink Floyd, and ZZ Top during the course of the evening.

Did i mention it was surreal and amazing in an “I don’t know if I’ll ever have this much fun again.” kind of way? The band wasn’t perfect, the dancers weren’t perfect, but everyone was having so much fun you couldn’t help but have fun too.

Talk about having a great night.

Updates

  • My first post went up over at Frugal Bliss. It was written pre-bailout, but my plan is still the same. I didn’t realize that the posts stay in the backend queue for a while so I have to do more evergreen posts, I think.There is a series I’m doing on financial glossary terms, and the next two going up are going to be What is a Portfolio? and Market Orders vs. Limit Orders. You can email me if you have specific questions about the stock market or investing you’d like to see answered.
  • If you haven’t read my Blogger Biographies post on Remarkablogger yet and have always had a burning desire to know I started blogging way back in 2001….it’s there.
  • I was paid a lovely compliment by Kim in her blog post “Dear Jen, I love your blog!” I love the concept for the entry, because I’m not the only JenBlog she lists. I met her at the Chevy Traverse event downtown and am glad I did. I like her blog.

Meme

I was also tagged by Candie over at her mommyblog to do a meme. Yes, a meme. Why people saddle me with this stuff I’ll never know. It’s supposed to be six things you may not know about me. Here we go.

  1. I ate soft cheeses, hot dogs, and peanut butter while I was pregnant. Because I’m a rebel.
  2. I’m scared I won’t be able to get pregnant again – we’ve been trying for three months now.
  3. My dream is to have an article I write be in print before my great-grandmother dies, so she can see I’m a “for real” writer.
  4. I don’t know everything. I don’t think I know everything. I don’t think I’m as smart as you think I am.
  5. I have no idea how my daughters know the alphabet or how they know how to count. I guess the TV taught them, because I believe that toddlers are for playing…not teaching. So they’re self-taught or something. On a lark I asked my 3-year-old to write her name…she did when I spelled her name for her. It was…kinda f-ed up, really.
  6. I want a purse dog.

I’m not tagging anyone. You can’t make me, CandieB. Now, to say thank you to Candie how about everyone follow @CandieB on Twitter?

Oh, if you do the meme I would like to read it. Can you comment with the link or something so I can come read your answers? I like learning about other people!

    Hangovers are god’s way of keeping you from not getting pregnant when you wake up next to strange men the day after.

    Just kidding. :)

    Kinda.

    Go get a big mac, a DIET coke and supersize the fries. Nothing works better. Glad you had an awesome time!

    Diet coke? So I can throw up and feel better, maybe :-P

    Just feel lucky, I almost tagged you for the meme. Seriously.

    But if I could get hold of a big mac and a a coke, I would feel better…but alas one car makes it difficult for me and two toddlers to get there. Can you hit the drive through and come drop it off? We could hang out for a while. LOL

Got something to say?
