Jimmy Buffett Can Take 'Margaritaville' And Shove It!

Last night, Jeff and I went to Josh and Stephanie's house for Josh's surprise birthday party. We got there at about 7:15 and hung out for a little bit, waiting for Josh to get home.

It was a small party, but we had a blast. I ended up putting yet another alcohol on my "never again" list - right under beer and jager. I will never, ever, EVER touch tequila again. Al just kept pouring me margaritas, I think under Josh's command. I was already pretty tipsy after one, but I'm pretty sure that I downed at least six. I started out the night with a regular margarita glass, but halfway through, switched to a gigantic Macayo's margarita glass.

The details of the evening are sketchy. What I do remember is a lot of vomit. Jeff sat in the bathroom with me most of the night, holding my hair. He put me to bed at one point, but I was so nauseous that I ended up back in the bathroom and fell asleep with my head on the toilet. I don't know how long I was there before he found me.

Steph also spent a lot of time with me in the bathroom. She was so sweet. She just sat there and talked to me, gave me water and Aleve, and brought me a sweater because I couldn't stop shivering.

This time when Jeff put me to bed, I didn't move. I just laid there for God knows how long repeating, "I'm going to die. I'm going to die."

Waking up, I didn't feel much better. I was very dizzy and wanted to puke, but my stomach was empty, so that was not an option. I wanted to just go home and be sick in my own bed. However, Jeff suggested that I sleep for a bit longer. That I did. I slept until about 11. Then, we got up and played with baby Cooper and talked to Josh and Steph for a bit before we left.

I was so hungry. Despite feeling like crap, all I wanted was a greasy burger. I don't crave burgers. Heck, I think I've only had one in the past year. So, since it was so out-of-the -ordinary for me, I fed my craving. We went to Burger King and I got my very first double whopper and was it ever delicious! I felt 110% better after that.

All that I've done today is lounge around, watching "America's Psychic Challenge" on mylifetime.com and tackled the laundry that I've been avoiding in hopes that it'd do itself.

DISCLAIMER: Aside from the fact that I have been drunk two times so far in 2009, that is very unlike me. I hate drinking and think that people who get completely hammered every weekend are morons. I can honestly tell you that I am done drinking for awhile now. I've had my fun for the year and now it is time for me to go back to being my usual, sober Ashley. After all, that is what I enjoy. Honestly, I think that, aside from this little episode, my parents should be very proud of me. Most kids my age drink more in one week or two than I have in my lifetime and that is the truth!

"My name is Ashley and I'm an alcoholic.". That'll teach you!

I'm the same way. I'd usually much rather be sober than drunk. I've only been drunk three times since I met Jay back in May. Once when Allie came to visit and we went to that rap show, the second time we had another couple over to watch a comedy show, and then the third time was Jay's birthday. I wasn't even drunk on MY birthday last year..lol.
