- Went out for a work gathering Tuesday night. Work gatherings almost ALWAYS contain the following: liquor. bars. laughter. an expensive cab ride home very late at night.
- This one was no different, with the addition of the following: snorting cognac.
- Don't ask.
- I SAID don't ASK!
- Ok, ok you HAD to know.
- You do it from a spoon.
- YES it hurts.
- And it's not very sexy, cognac running from your nose.
- My boss did it in London (on a dare from a bartender) and told me about it, so of course I made him prove that he could do it.
- Then it became, "If I do it you have to do it".
- So we did.
- Ow.
- My hangover Wednesday was not too bad, but I was tired.
- I went to work, though.
- Wanted to "work from home".
- Which is what my boss did.
- Hmmph. Smart bastard.
- I took a long nap after work.
- In other news......
- Got invited to a hen party in Ibiza yesterday.
- This is very cool for many reasons.
- Firstly, hello, IBIZA?
- Secondly, it's my cousin's fiance who invited me, which means she likes me enough to include me in her bachelorette party.
- Which is cool because I like her too.
- Thirdly, it's just cool to be invited to party in Ibiza (to leave from Gatwick).
- But I can't go.
- Because I am OLD.
- Like 10 years older than the other hens.
- And I really don't think I could party for three days straight without getting very, very sick. (Remember Amsterdam and the flu? Oy.)
- AND.....
- Don't have time off from work what with upcoming travel, which includes:
- Texas
- Tunisia
- Thailand
- London
- So Ibiza is out. But I am bummed to not go because I have always wanted to.
- Probably should have gone when I was younger.
- Eek, first time I ever said THAT. First old age regret!
- I actually have very few of those.
- Because my motto is try anything once, and if you don't like it you don't have to do it again.
- So I've tried alot of things.
- Which explains the Unfortunate Incident of the Cognac.
- Which I have now learned I won't repeat.
- There's some lame movie set in Roman times on TV.
- I keep thinking that their gladiator sandals are SO FABULOUS!
- Even on old Roman warrior dudes.
- I think it's time to eat. I'm hungry.
