FWIW, if somebody offers to take me out I'd feel free to get one beer, but would only get a second drink if they did.
I tend to mirror what the other person is getting in terms of alcohol or not and number of drinks.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The status is NOT quo.
Dear Self,
Do not ever, ever, EVER take an Ambien and then wander into the living room "just to hang out for a few minutes" with your lovely fiance and his friend. You will end up babbling nonsensically about the benefits of Ambien, refusing (belligerently) to go to bed despite gentle suggestions, falling asleep on the floor, and eventually having to be wrangled into bed by aforementioned lovely fiance. You will also have no memory of this until told about it the next day and will be suitably mortified.
Love and headdesks,
Me

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm going to learn to sail in the next year, and then maybe buy a boat.
I would love to do that. Partially because I live a block away from a marina, and partially because the few times I've gone sailing as a passenger it was so fun. We joke that DH could take a boat to work, since that is also right by a marina, though it's a lot farther by waterway and the temptation to just not go in would be, I suspect, too strong.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
oh dear, Kristin. I'm sure both your wonderful fiance and his friend understand that ambien makes people do very strange things. It's not like you passed out drunk.

Thank the gods, no. I am completely mortified that I did this in front of Drew's friend Scott, though, because he doesn't know me all that well. So. Embarrassed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ambien is a GoDirectlyToBed pill. Seriously.
Been there, had to apologize for that.

It's worse. I mean, I've heard. My conversations are not my own when I've stayed up with Ambien.

THIS. So very this. Seriously, it makes you sound like a crazy person. And by "you," I mean "me."
Been there, had to apologize for that.
And I t heart this so much.
