Elaboration of the previous post

Let me explain about the 5 glasses of champagne.... It was my good friend's birthday yesterday. (We actually started the birthday celebration Saturday evening with movie night in the park - they showed Sandlot, which is one of our all time favorites.) And then Sunday was the not-so-secret outing that seemed to require a lot of staging that wasn't really necessary. So my roommate and I picked up our friend around 10:30 and we went out to a (new?) restaurant for champagne brunch. Well, my roommate was under the impression that because it was a buffet and all you could eat, that it was all you can drink as well. Oh no, my friend. One glass of champagne was included with the brunch. The other 4 glasses (each!) we had to pay for. So not only was I drunk, but I didn't have enough money to pay for it!! But the food was delicious and we lingered for a long time, wearing our leis and being rude and rowdy. Our next stop was the miniature golf course for some drunken antics. It reminded me of grade school birthday parties, except for the drunkeness. After we had worked up a good sweat, we headed back home and stopped at the new martini bar downtown. The place was empty but we chatted up the manager. By this point I was so full and headachy that I could barely choke down my lemon drop. These are sure signs that I am getting weak in my old age, and I do not like it!
