A sobering Drinking Game Friday

Today I've got some good news and I've got bad news. Which would you like first? Bad news? Bad news first so we can end the week on a high note? Mmm hmm. Yep. I like the way you think. Let's do it.

Bad news: I'm pregnant.

Bahahahaha. Just kidding slash I
wish. Maternity leave sounds awesome right about now.

The bad news is that I legally died of embarrassment last night. Yep. I'm dead. Dead as disco. And I will spend the rest of eternity haunting this blog and Co-Blogger Chris in a
Ghost Dad style plot line. (PS: I like how I just chose not to haunt Chris in an erotic Ghost kind of way, but rather in a kooky, Bill Cosby-at-the-door-with-pudding kind of way. And you're welcome, Chris.)

Remember that whole my-ex-hook-up-was-my-nurse-when-I-had-explosive-infectious-diarrhea-in-the-hospital thing that was so traumatizing it gave me emotional hepatitis? You know, that old chestnut? No? Well get yourself acquainted here. Are we all on the same page now? We all up-to-date on bowel movements? "Good." So Ex-Hook-Up Nurse sent me a message on Facebook yesterday afternoon basically being like, "MEGGLES! Sort of a random way to see you a few weeks ago. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. It's illegal. Blah blah blah. It was good to see you. We should hang out soon. Yada yada yada." First of all:
fuck. That message made me relive the entire experience all over again and guhhhhhhhhhhh...it burned. After I finished reading, I literally just writhed around my office chair, scratching my face and audibly moaning for a solid three minutes straight. It was horrible. Because writing about that experience here on the blog was my way to exorcise the embarrassment, let go and move on. And I had successfully done so!...Until that message, that is. I decided the best way to move on (again) would be to pick myself up, put the pants I had just writhed out of back on, embrace the embarrassment and laugh it off. Because that's what I do best, right?

So, I wrote back:

"Ugh, of course when I see you again after all this time I'm in the hospital for fucking explosive diarrhea and look like shit warmed over. Jesus Christ....I was 16 distinct different kinds of embarrassed. But! Yes, I agree we should be friends again. Any time you want to hang when I've actually showered and aren't in the hospital dying, that would be cool. - M"


"Kudos to me!" I thought as I pat myself on the back for confronting the situation head on. Now we could both have a good laugh about it and move on with our lives. All was well in the world.

...Until a few hours later when I got this message back:

"Actually I had no idea what you were there for. I didnt look."


.................GOD DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY?! WHY DID I HAVE TO "EMBRACE THE EMBARRASSMENT"?! AND WHY DIDN'T THAT SON-OF-A-BITCH LOOK AT MY CHART?! I would have! But then again, I'm a piece of shit. Ugh. So I unnecessarily told him that I had infectious diarrhea. I guess that's what I get for underestimating people. So fuck me. But not really because I was hospitalized with
diarrhea and who wants to fuck that girl? Not me. And I am her.

But! I have good news. The good news is that today is Friday, which means it's time for the most magical part of any week—T.G.I. Hagman!



As of 12:09pm on January 19, 2010, Larry Hagman is...alive! AND GOOD! Good. More Hagman for me and you!

Now normally this is where I'd give you your Friday drinking game, but in honor of Alex and I recently starting our month off from drinking, there will be no drinking game this week. Yep, that's right. An entire month with no alcohol...And I have no idea what we're thinking either. Well, I do actually. Both of our doctors explicitly told us we need to cut back on drinking and Becky and Andrew are always taking a detox month here and there and they seem to have their shit together. Plus Becca and her fiance did it in January! I mean, I feel like it might be good to give the old liver a break once in a while...right? Especially since Alex and I wake up 3/7 mornings like this:



God I'm going to miss that homeless woman...

So, I guess your drinking game this weekend is to just slam a few extra back for me and Alex. Pour one out for your fallen homies, if you will. Thanks. We appreciate it. And we appreciate you reading the blog! But if you
really want to see us appreciative, you should totally follow us on Twitter, join our Facebook page and forward us to a friend or two! Man that would be nice. I mean, I don't get anything out of it, but you would. KARMA. Sexy, sexy karma. Welp! I'm gonna go join a prayer circle or something equally sobering. Have yourself a fantastic weekend and we'll see you right back here Monday morning. (Awkward sober) kisses!

Doctors are always telling you to cut down on stuff. That doesn't mean you have to listen.

i sent my son a link to yesterday's blog (2/18) and got this reply: "that was the perfect thing to cheer me up after an hour-later-than-usual closing of the restaurant that involved a large woman vomiting much sangria all the way down the hall to the bathroom...

OMG. this was my fave part:

Things I Routinely Scrub:
- Pots
- Pans
- Sinks
- My bathtub (if company is coming over...) (And apparently Helena ≠ company)
- Stains out of sweaters

Things I Do Not Routinely Scrub:
- MY GENITALS
- MY GENITALS
- MY GENITALS
- MY GENITALS
- MY GENITALS

She is just too much! Thanks for reminding me about her blog, lost some bookmarks in the transition to new computer."

HAHAHHAHAH (awkward sober) kisses.
HAHAHHAHAHAH writhing.

Heather said...

So, dying to know: Meg, do you tell the people you date (or just do) about this blog? So, do you think nurse-boy read this post? *edge of seat*

Stephanie said...

duuuuuuuude. I've given up alcohol for Lent before. It sucks, I feel your pain. The next year I gave up soda, having wised up to the fact that giving up mixer would be better than giving up the straight stuff. (hello, bottles of wine.)

but you can do it! I promise, you really do stop thinking about making a drink eventually. Wow, I sound like a total alchy. YOU CAN DO IT, MEG!!! (& not to be a total downer, but my grandpa died of liver failure from a lifetime of "it's 5 o'clock somewhere" so if your doctor is recommending a cut-back at your tender age of 20 something, please do listen to him. For all of us out there who love you so anonymously but whole-heartedly.)

I work as a concierge in the west coast and I read your blog posts almost every day. I work in a high visibility area of the hotel and often find myself muffling my giggles but today? GOOD GOD you made me ROFLOL out here. I had to tell the guests who looked at me with raised eyebrows that I received a sweet e-mail from my dead grandmother.

I'm practicing Atheist Lent. I'm taking up an indulgent habit for 40 days.

I'm drinking a beer for you RIGHT NOW and making all my friends toast to 2b1b :)

The Kuh said...

This is one of your posts that makes me LOL and then sigh and say, "Oh, Meghan..."

Oh, and I also wanted to tell you that I read your post from yesterday aloud to my Grandmother. I did this because:
A) She is cool as shit and has a great sense of humor and nothing on Earth offends her, so occasionally, I try to offend her, just for s's and g's.
B) She's old and stuff, and remembers when that book came out, but never read it.

I have never seen her laugh so hard. She loves you now, too. You're welcome.

BAHA! And I'm glad you did!

I'm a godless detoxing wonder. Alex is the one going all the way to Easter. And he's Unitarian. Weird...

Awww! Poor Matthew!

So, dying to know: Meg, do you tell the people you date (or just do) about this blog? So, do you think nurse-boy read this post? *edge of seat*
HAHA, what's "dating"?? No, The Nurse does not know about the blog. I mean, he'll probs figure it out at some point, but really how much worse can I look at this point?

YOU CAN DO IT, MEG!!!
Thank you Stephanie!

I had to tell the guests who looked at me with raised eyebrows that I received a sweet e-mail from my dead grandmother.
My sweet, sweet grandson. (Or granddaughter. You have a gender ambiguous blogging name.)

so your blog is awesome. you should join twenty something bloggers (http://www.20sb.net/) to expand your reading base. because everyone should know about 2b1b ;)
Excellent tip, thank you!

I have never seen her laugh so hard. She loves you now, too. You're welcome.
I love your grandma too!

funniest blog I have ever read. I <3 it. I've spent most of my lazy Sunday getting caught up on your lives. Thank you so much for providing such entertainment!

Oh.My.God. First of all. NurseBoy is a dick. The only kind thing to do would be to FAKE that he knew. I mean surely as a member of the medical community he must know that one can literally die of embarrassment. He sounds like a sadist. I think you should report him to whatever committee monitors NurseBoys.

In my opinion, the "giving up drinking" news is the bad news part of today's post... I mean, think about it, won't you be alienating your main sponsor, Jager?!?

But good luck and props to you! I don't think I'd be able to do it...?
