B and I had kind of a boozy Friday night. No, we didn’t go out. There were no shots involved. No funnels or shotgunning or keg stands to be seen. But somehow, sitting on our couch, we managed to get abso-toot-iloot-ly wasted.
In our defense, he did have his office holiday party that afternoon, and I was sick and drugged up on DayQuil. A long ass week had taken its toll, and we found solace at the bottom of a few cocktails bottles.
On Saturday morning, our eyes creaked open to cotton mouth, pounding headaches, and the foul stench of regret. The only thing either of us could fathom doing, other than crying out for our mommies, was the getting of Hangover Grease into our tumultuous bellies. Grateful that our super skeezy Giant is only a block away, we donned whatever clothes were within arm or toe’s reach and ventured out into the bright, BRIGHT sunshine.
As we made our way past the neighbor’s stoop, where there is always a gathering of 3 – 45 persons who could have walked off the set of Friday, we couldn’t help but take note of our own questionable appearances… especially in the context of our environment. As we’ve mentioned before, B and I don’t exactly live in the nicest part of DC. I wouldn’t call it unsafe… a better word is “entertaining”. Nevertheless, it definitely has, ahem, character. Loads of character. At times, WAY too much character. But I digress…
B: Seriously, we look like crackheads right now. You’re shaking and clearly going through some kind of withdrawal… in a hoodie. Meanwhile, I’m wearing soccer shorts under workout pants, a black t-shirt (Ed. note: unfortunately not black stallion), a Banana Republic trench coat, and some kind of slippers.
LiLu: So, what you’re trying to say is… we fit right in at the Giant?
B: 100%, baby. 100%. (He pauses, and looks off towards the rising sun…) You know, we may be wildly destructive… but we’re so damn good together.
LiLu: Indeed we are, my dear. Now quick, reach around the bum sucking the spilled beer off the floor and grab the tater tots and champagne… it’s time for brunch hair of the dog!
**Leaving on a jet plane this afternoon for the wintery wilderness of Massachusetts… I’ll be posting quick funnies, quirky videos, and classic LiLu humiliations, but I’ll also probably be totally dialing it in since none of y’all are around. Enjoy your families, your friends, your holidays, your vacations and feasts and libations. Truly? I heart you dearly, and hope that you all have a warm, cozy, fill-your-heart-with-memories-you’ll-hold-near-and-dear-forever kind of week.**

NOW you tell me that you live in the Hood? Oy vey! ;o)
Happy Shmoopy Christmas, Baby! You deserve it!
I should really go pack if I’m getting on a train in an hour or so. Leave the clothes, pack the booze.
Oh, I am a smidge jealous you get to go to the snow and I have to be subjected to palm trees with Christmas lights. It just isn’t fair!
Merry merry, woman. See ya at lunch.
Ahh that Giant. It always was a little strange, and I could never find everything I was looking for. I used to drive up there after work, but now I go to Harris Teeter.
After arriving at the Whole Foods looking rather ghetto fabulous once, I found myself wishing I was a little closer to the Giant instead.
Safe travels! Here’s to hoping the weather cooperates.
reason # 985 why i heart you.
we need to play in mass one of these days!
have the best holiday, hooker girl.
Is it possible for a Giant to not be ghetto? Even the one across from me in Arlington is sketchy. The only things I buy there are sealed at the factory. And milk on the rare occasion.
Have fun in the frozen Northern wastelands. Don’t freeze anything off sweetie.
Merry Christmas! Don’t freeze the bits off!
Fearless: It’s not the HOOD hood. It’s just… entertaining. You’ll see!
Lemm: Palm trees + Xmas = So, so wrong. I’ll send you some snowy pics. See you soon…
66: I wish there was a teet close enough, but when it’s a BLOCK away, it’s really hard to convince yourself to go anywhere else.
Miss Scorpio: We would have been kicked out of a Whole Foods, I promise it.
Brookem: If you’re out and about on Saturday, we’re thinking about heading in to Boston for the day…
Foggy: I swear, I’ve never seen meat there that was not stamped with TODAY as the expiration date. Grody…
Malnurtured Snay: My bits thank you for all of your warm wishes!
man how much boozy eggnog are you gonna have? happy holidays!
i gave up on the Giant closest to me. it made me wanna do all sorts of drinking. the new Safeway is so much less of a challenge.
Merry Christmas!
Ha! And I felt badly about not making it to Eastern Market (but I was wiped out, too)!
Hope you have a swell time, Kiddo. Love your guts!
Have a smashing christmas!
Have a splendid Christmas! I’ll be around, reading and not drinking. I’ll definitely need some entertainment!
Hold on. You went to GIANT?!?!
Have you lost your mind, woman?!?
that place is hell on earth.
Have a scrumdilicious holiday. Or something. It’s a confusing time of year.
Is it wrong that my mouth watered at ‘tater tots and champagne’?
Have a safe and exciting holiday friend!
Ah, tater tots and champagne!
Have a fantastic time in Massachusetts (a state I ALWAYS spell wrong!) Happy, happy holidays, sweet LiLu!
merry christmas darling! have fun with your family and drink copious amounts of wine!
I hope you’re not stopping over in NYC. Just saying.
I have the BEST TMI thursday for next time. I’m pumped.
“the foul stench of regret…” do they make that in an eau de toilette?
Merry Christmas! Have a safe trip to Massachusetts. Try not to get into too much trouble. Oh, nevermind. Have fun!
Life on Edge: Don’t worry, I’ll share
Have a great holiday!
f.B: I do miss having a Safeway close by, but the Giant provides blog fodder, at least!
FreckledK: We’ll go soon, though! Love you too, mama.
Beach Bum: You too, chica!
Kate: I’ll keep the videos coming for ya! Have a great holiday.
rs27: Yes. Clearly. At least it was funny!
LA Cochran: You too, lady. You and your hubby both
Brandy: Is it wrong that my mouth watered when YOU just said it? Have a great holiday, lady!
Lisa: That’s why I just call myself a Masshole
Have a great first Christmas with your hubby! Well, first one as his wife… YOU know what I mean.
Alexa: Oh, we shall! Merry Christmas to you as well, dear!
Spellbound: We did not, and it still took us TWELVE HOURS TO GET HOME. Ugh.
Maxie: Awesome! Can’t wait to read it next week!!!
Refugee: Hmm… I could be a millionaire!… Have a great holiday, my dear friend.
NothingFancy: Ha, but if I didn’t get into any trouble, you wouldn’t get any stories! Merry Christmas, darlin!
