Thanksgiving - The Morning After

Nothing brings out the love and affection you feel towards
your family like 3 glasses of Chardonnay and a stout glass
of syrupy sweet, chocolate dessert wine (a deep red wine
with the essence of chocolate and by essence I mean
Hershey syrup consistency...FABULOUS!!!) Needless to say
I'm nursing a bit of a hangover this morning, but nothing
I can't handle. I feel like I'm going through menopause
from all the hot flashes I'm having, my mouth and my brain
are full of cotton and I can take my pulse inside of my
head simply by sitting quietly. But, over-all my
disposition is good and I've discovered a newfound love
for Sue, because when you're drunk (as we all were last
night) anyone can be charming and engaging.

The drinking started around 4pm. Sue brought a 1000 piece
puzzle for us to do as a family and a good sized bottle of
Columbia Crest Chardonnay for dinner. I managed to get out
of the family bonding Wednesday night by going to the
movies with Gen, but there was no getting out of it last
night. What brought out the wine, I don't remember, but it
made puzzle-doing a lot more animated. By the time dinner
was ready I was working on my second glass and the whole
day was starting to look up!

I must give credit where credit is due. Sue made a really
great turkey. It was moist and flavorful and aside from
the giblets she put in the gravy (I KNEW she was a giblet
person, didn't I tell you!) everything tasted pretty good.
It was a far cry from my own mother's sandpaper turkey you
could refinish furniture with. My mashed potatoes were
good, too (even if I was slightly inebriated while making
them). I can't complain about dinner. It turned out great.
I had my third glass of wine while cleaning the kitchen
with Snookums. He was flinging dishes around like his
hands were greased and I kept wiping the same stretch of
counter repeatedly, but eventually it all got done.

After dinner, we put the girls to bed and had our dessert.
Nothing fancy. Store bought pumpkin pie with frozen cool
whip (don't knock it till you've tried it) and the
chocolate dessert wine Snookums had to have, because I saw
it at Central Market. It turned out to be very good, but
very strong. We spent the rest of the evening watching
Comedy Central and dying of DHLSS (drunken hysterical
laughter suffocation syndrome). I can't even remember who
the comedian was or what he was talking about, but I
remember laughing my ass off.

Around 9pm (which felt more like 2am) Snookums and I
headed off to bed. But we didn't go to sleep. Instead, we
had wild, loud animal sex without the slightest regard for
whether or not his mother heard (it's funny how he cares
if Helena and Dan hear, but his mom he doesn't give a shit
about, go figure). After we decoupled and I recovered from
the trauma of Snookums drunken vigor (he was trusting like
a jackhammer. I think he punctured a lung or bruised my
right kidney) we took a hot shower together and passed out
in a glory of afterglow (from the wine and the sex).

As much as I'd love to elaborate more on my Thanksgiving,
I must go for now. I'm being beckoned to the aid of the
puzzle-doers. Apparently I've an affinity for puzzles.
Without the benefit of alcohol, I don't know how long I'll
be able to stand it. HELP. Ciao until tomorrow, when all
goes back to normal.
