You Make Me Feel So Young…
Posted By AmyD. on March 17, 2008
For the first time in about two years – we were child-free.
As in…
Zero children.
The whole house to ourselves. Peace and quiet.
So we left.
We went out and cruised a couple of nursery sections of what may or may not have been chain nursery/home improvement type stores. Then we went out for drinks.
Not dinner. We were feeling wild and free… we went out for drinks.
We had a couple of dinner salads (need that fiber) and some guacamole (it’s the good kind of fat) and we had a few margaritas. And one or two of these:
A Mauricio’s Slammer
Then we came home and I hopped on my computer perusing Ebay while Mike hopped on his computer and perused the local Craig’s List. We were two wild and crazy human beings!
So we had a couple more drinks and my mind began to run with many splendid thoughts of child-less fun; Drinking, smoking cigars, voting… and then it occurred to me, something I hadn’t done in years… if ever! Yet, this was not the time to lament the past. Nay, this was the time to sally forth, or perhaps it was, “ride, Sally, ride…” either way, it was the time to be wild, reckless, and recover a moment of our youth!
We could *gasp* go out to breakfast!
Yes, YES! It could not BE more perfect! Party all night, get loaded with carbs and grease and go to bed, curl up to the sound of the television murmuring softly in the background (home improvement shows, of course!)! It would be the perfect ending to a wild, wild night!!!
My heart raced, my mind was ablaze with reckless abandon… I felt young, wild, and free… I looked at Mike, sitting there so strong and sexy, silently sipping his vodka gimlet (or tequila? I can’t remember if we had run out of gin by this time) and I knew that it was time to tell him of my wild yearnings. My deep desire was about to bubble forth with my wild and crazy idea when I glanced up at the clock…
It was 11:45pm and suddenly, I was very, very tired.

Ok, some thing is very wrong with the Universe. This is the second time, in a row, none the less where I, Beamer, am actually at the top of the comment totem pole!
Wow!
Ok where was I? Lets see something about, uhm, … Oh yeah, the exploding flameball smiley .. I’m at Amys.
You Party Aminal, You. Very funny.
Beamer – King of the Hill
Gawd, I need a life.
I’d like to know how this miracle happened where you were a lone all. night. long?
I can’t believe I didn’t get a phone call! LOL
Yeah, no drunk calls at all to either of us? I’m disappointed!
Like sands through the hourglass, such are the days of our lives…
LMAO Sounds like my Saturday. By 10 p.m., I’d had too much to drink and was ready for bed. Woo-hoo!
Wow I can’t decide which I’d like better – the slammer or the chips and guac. That’s probably very telling, isn’t it?
Going out for breakfast is indeed exciting! When my BF and I are childless we go grocery shopping! (and actually kinda like it, sigh.)
