Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, smokers will have to use the hands-free on the cell phone. Then we're good to go!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Though if the drinks aren't low-alcohol cocktails, they should probably be prepared that their blood alcohol reading will be over the legal limit no matter what the actual effects on them are.

Yeah, these people were not drinking low-alcohol drinks.

Yeah, these people were not drinking low-alcohol drinks.

Yeah, I could have six or seven froofy little cocktails over an hour or two and be fine, but definitely not six or seven beers (unless they come in 9oz Dixie cups), and certainly not six or seven mixed drinks of my usual strength.

And speaking of booze, I am leaving work ten minutes early to be home in time for the Peapod delivery window, which means I can fix myself a vodka gimlet when my groceries arrive and see what all the fuss is about.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But are you using Rose's, or real limes plus simple syrup, and what kind of vodka?

Good god woman--How can you judge the gimlet, if we don't know what's in it?

Looks like there was a kaboom at a chemical plant here in KC.

Now I'm inclined to be secretive so you people can't judge me or my gimlets.

I'd love a gimlet right now.

hell, I'd kill for champagne. There's at least two bottles in the fridge. Things I miss: iced tea and champagne. not together.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I can toss back 6 or 7 amaretto sours and not have a buzz, but then again that's mostly sweet & sour mix with about half an ounce of actual alcohol in each drink. 6 or 7 rusty nails and I'd need help walking, nevermind driving.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have two standard drinks in two hours and am all fuzzy for quite a while after. 6 or 7 would probably land me in the hospital.
