So sometimes, and I can’t quite explain how, but two awesomes don’t always make a right. Sometimes we act our age and sometimes that can sucks for others. In this case, Ben.
The apology goes to Ben because he voiced his concerns and his preference for us not to drink, yet in my argument that technically our bodies were of age and that we’d do it responsibly, I managed to convince him otherwise. Jaime and I agreed to one drink each and Ben kindly fetched the bottle of Limoncello.
But we suck because we didn’t stop at one drink. Jaime, a more experienced drinker than I, drank his Limoncello and Sprite down like it was just the latter, while I sipped and found creative ways of adding fruit and juice to make it more palatable.
Jaime added some fruit and juice, too, and was quickly ready for another. And another. I tried to catch up, but Ben halted the race and I only was able to make a half drink more. We could’ve made a night of it, I think, but Ben swiftly grabbed the bottle and put it away.
Alcohol can be dangerous when combined with diabetes and/or medication, so Ben had a right to be concerned. But we were focused on fun and not much else. Sorry, Ben. We’ll keep our word next time. This “guilt thing” sucks.
As long as you’re both OK, that’s the main thing! And probably as long as you go more careful next time too!
I know you feel a bit guilty… But did you at least have a little fun? Unwind a little? Ben is incredibly understanding – and I am sure he will have complete forgiveness for you (so long as you don’t try to repeat this experiment again too soon!). I bet that, secretly, Ben may have even found these events a little amusing. (Allthough the medical aspect IS a concern…).
I am glad that you are all still having fun
If you are bored and want to amuse yourselves in a cheap manner… Get some balloons, use a funnel to fill it as full as you can with flour. Add food coloring, then put it over the faucet, and add water like you would to make a water balloon (use warmism water because it has to mix with the flour). Fill it so that the flour and the water feel like a gooey paste. Voila!!! Homemade paint balls! (you have to use small water balloons, otherwise they are too hard to burst!)
Make a target and see who scores best!
This is more of an outside activity – but if you do it, and stay indoors, POST PICTURES!
LOL We have got to try this sometime… outside.
