Chugging in the Dark

So last night was date night with the boy and it actually went well. Yay!! It’s the first one in a long time that hasn’t gone down in flames. Our last one ended with me crying like a baby while he passed out from eating and drinking to much…then heading to Mrs. Two Buck Chuck’s house with a 6 pack of Miller Light tallboys in hand to meet up with Elle Woods…followed by gratuitous drinking, cursing and man-hating. Needless to say, not the fun and sex filled night I had been looking forward to.

Well this time we started the date off right with a little boom boom action while getting ready. Who isn’t in a good mood after that? Come to think of it, maybe we should make that a stipulation…sex before date night…since we are usually too stuffed, shit-faced or tired (man, I’m getting old) to get it on by the end of the night anyways. But I digress…

Then we headed out to Kabuto, a Japanese steakhouse that I absolutely love. Shrimp sauce?...yes please!! I don’t know if it was me being in the post-coitus happy place…but I totally loved our chef and was cracking up the entire dinner. Then it was time to head to see Harry Potter!!!

Per our usual tradition, we stopped at the Dean & Deluca to pick up some adult beverages to sneak into the theater. Yep, that’s how we roll. I may not have been thinking very clearly because I bought a ½ bottle of wine…but didn’t think about the fact that I had no cup to drink it out of until we got into the theater and the movie was starting. So I’m sitting there with an illegal bottle of wine…in a movie theater…surrounded by young people…trying to figure out how to discreetly drink it.

Not to worry though. I sure as heck did not waste it and I didn’t even corrupt young minds in the process. I created a little drinking game that I like to call “Chug While the Screen is Dark.” Luckily, it was a pretty long movie and there were several well spaced “dark moments” that actually made getting my buzz on fairly easily. By the end of the movie, it may have been a bit more obvious what I was doing since I was having to literally turn the entire bottle up to get the last bit…but by that point I was feeling good enough to not care that much…plus I’m pretty sure everyone was way too into the movie to be paying attention to the lush chugging wine straight from bottle anyways. Or at least I hope so. J

Moral of the story:

For a fun night out with the boy “Straight Up” style – start the night off with a little “biscuit making” action…and don’t be afraid to act like a lush.
