never again is what you swore the time before..... (DM)
I had 2 friends come over on Friday night.....
we sat, talked, drank wine.....
one bottle....
two bottles.....
third bottle (the jumbo sized 1.5 liter).....
I don't remember going to bed (?!?!)......
Saturday - I awoke with a start (looking down i saw that I had on my sleeping shorts and tank top - I do not remember putting them on). M was asleep next to me..... What time did he get home? I check my phone - 6-7 missed calls from him..... had he been locked out? had he needed me? I didn't even hear the phone that was right on the nightstand.......
I went to the living room to check to see that the house was still standing.....
coffee table covered with the leftover crackers, hummous, grapes we'd been eating..... something moved on the couch and I jumped - it was M's friend..... I don't even know his real name - I only know him by his nickname...... we both apologized to each other for scaring the crap out of each other.......
M wakes up...... he drives his friend to where they left his car.....
I stay on the couch......
hell......
powerdrill to the back of the head...... staring at the bottom of the toilet, not once, not twice, but almost all day.......
around 5 pm I was getting worried......
I seriously thought I was going to die.....
I was also very embarrassed, since I don't remember going to bed, I don't remember what I was saying..... I remember showing them pictures, I remember a 3rd friend stopping by......
did I say anything stupid? do anything stupid?
probably......
oh, who cares anyways...... we've all been there.....
but ouch.......
we mixed wines too, which is what added to the most painful hangover I think I've ever had......
and I swore all day Saturday that I will not drink this much again....... if only the pain would stop.....
By Sunday morning, I was better...... we went to (yet another) christening...... we were seated by my friend and her husband, her brother and his wife, and their parents......
M was trying to be nice, starting conversations, asking questions....... people were being very blah... just answering and smiling and then nothing more..... I turned to him and whispered "tough crowd....."
The conversation revolved around plasma tv's.... and then silence......
as we left there, we wondered what had happened to everyone lately..... so blah ...... were they stressed? tired?
there was no laughing, no fun....... and it's not just this time, it's been like that with so many different people...... I feel like a comedian on a bad gig - telling jokes and hearing crickets in the audience.....
But I was in a jovial mood....... just that morning I had received a text message from my brother...... by accident. He had been texting his girlfriend to tell her that our other brother's wife (they're the ones with no kids yet) is expecting a baby...... it was supposed to be sort of a secret until the weekend but there were phone calls back and forth between us siblings, all abuzz with the news......

On the subject of wine...I had a rather wonderful surprize in the mail today....*WINK**...thank you so much...it will indeed come in VERY handy (I don't actually own one!...mainly due to the fact there is seldom any wine left in any bottle I open!....maybe your beautiful gift will encourage me to save a bit for tomorrow! The Sarge is a bit sceptical admittedly!) The card was lovely too...Rachel is at school now but I will put it in my coat pocket when I go to pick her up...she will be delighted to see you looking so gorgeous! Thank you so much for thinking of us all...we are delighted! We do really feel part of your special day....
Love Alma xxx
