Stumbling Through Margaritaville

Dilek celebrated her 31st birthday today and will probably still feel its effects tomorrow morning...

We met her and friends at Vivo for the strongest, most delicious margaritas ever. I only had one because I was driving, but to be perfectly honest, that was probably still too much. Ewa and Greg had three. Now Ewa does love a good margarita. But I don't think she was quite prepared for these lethal babies. No one was more shocked than she was.

Now I am forbidden from giving too many specific details under threat of irrepairably damaging my relationship with my mother-in-law (and, really, who wants that?). But I must protest. It would be positively unpatriotic and hypocritical of me to succumb to censorship. I am torn on this issue. But one thing I will do is refrain from painting a picture of a little Polish woman saying in a loud, jolly Zsa Zsa Gabor accent Folks, I cannot believe zat tree margaritas can do such a zing to me or some variation on that theme between giddy, drunken giggles. And I most certainly won't mention that as I was helping her to her room, I was trying to convince her that the safest course of action might be to crawl up the stairs so she wouldn't topple backward. I wouldn't do that...

See what a good daughter-in-law I am. :)

I'm rolling out of my chair laughing because I can see and hear her ...... just as you wrote it.
