So there was this party …

It’s been almost a full week since I’ve posted, and I promise there’s a good reason.
You see, there was this party.  Saturday.  An engagement party for one of my good friends from childhood, back in my hometown.  A huge, extravagant, as only my mom and her friends can do it bash.   Complete with exuberant hostess renditions of “Sweet Caroline,” an amazing vocalist singing “At Last” while accompanied by a piano superstar on a baby grand, fabulous catering staff that simply refused to let one’s wine glass get below half full, and the world’s most ridiculously potent chocolate martinis. 
In short, a good time was had by all. 
When I woke up the next morning, I blearily told my husband, “Watch out, there’s gonna be a tiger in the bathroom.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There’s gotta be a tiger in the bathroom and probably a baby in the closet,” I mumbled. 
When I stumbled downstairs for coffee, my mother took one look at me and said, “How many martinis did you have?  Six?”
“Two,” I said, burning my mouth as I gulped coffee.
“Two?  I had more than that,” she scoffed.  Meanwhile, hubster, sister, and various dogs are all staring, trying not to laugh, drool, or lick their nether regions.
“What?  Don’t tell me I pulled a tooth?”
Sister gets the reference, collapses laughing on the floor, while hubs is left to attempt to explain “The Hangover” to my mother.

  3. @ Natalie, you've GOT to see the movie!

    @ Shell, just two martinis, but that was after a whole night full o' wine. Technically I guess you could say I only had one glass of wine, but I lost count of how many times it was refilled. Gotta love attentive waitpersons brandishing Chardonnay!

  4. So funny! You had me at tiger in the bathroom.

    I've never had a chocolate martini … but now I'm thinking I should! I'd likely stop at one … cause I'm old as crap and can't hang like I used to.

  5. LOL!! Oh god Angie, I feel your pain…on Sunday we had a “family brunch”…one word: Painful. So glad you enjoyed yourself! :)

  7. You are much, much funnier than I am when I'm hungover. I'm surprised when I make it out of the bed…

  8. Tiger in the bathroom . . . I love that!

    That was an awesome movie that I did not expect to like. I love when there is unexpected funniness!

    Part of the reason I am loving you as well!

  12. The Hangover is great! And probably the perfect thing to make you feel better when you have your own hangover. After all, you still have all your teeth and there's no naked Chinese man in your trunk. Right?

  14. As soon as you mentioned a tiger in the bathroom, I knew exactly what you were talking about!

    You know what, though, having a night off from the kids where you can drink adult drinks and have fun sounds like a worthy hangover to have!

  15. I haven't had one of those in years. Well, actually I did have an evening like that just before Christmas and before that it had been literally a decade. I was a wreck for the rest of the weekend.
