All Partied Out

I know I am getting older when I type these words - All Partied Out- but I am!!! We had a black tie "Oscars" party to attend Saturday which was a benefit for our local hospital. It was a fun time. Back when I was around 22 (which wasn't THAT long ago, but sure feels like it was)I developed this lovely little habit of having sleepless nights if I have more than say 3 drinks. Perfect timing since I was a senior in college!! Well, I am quite dismayed to tell you that this has NEVER gone away. Some nights are worse than others, but this particular Saturday was one of the worst to date.

I had 3 (ok maybe 4) drinks over a 5.5 hour time span and got exactly one hour of sleep that night. Sunday was a complete waste for me (although I am almost done the seven up series). I do realize that the logical solution would be to drink water or limit it to 2 and no more, but common sense is clearly not prevailing.

Black tie events, not my thing. Figuring out what to wear is always especially stressful and I just don't love it. I'd much prefer a casual nice dinner out with friends! I guess I can suck it up for once a year - that's definitely my max!

Hope your weekend was fun and more restful than mine! I'll leave you with this to ponder... Which would you prefer? Your date/husband to be the wallflower type (read: my husband) refusing to dance with his lovely wife (read: me) or a wildly uncoordinated guy who loves to dance the night away (read: some unknown guests spotted). I truly can't decide.....
