Buzzing pleasantly on some Absolut vodka. Don't judge me; I'm on vacation...

[Aristus]

Hi to all the Loungers tonight. I love you all...

[Phoenix61]

1. Many, many years ago

I used to keep a bottle of Stoli in the freezer and a bottle of cranberry in the fridge. Now it's just beer.

[petronius]

2. No judgement here: the bottom of my wine box is almost in sight, and

tomorrow is a workday for me...

[Aristus]

3. We've drunk together in the past, petronius.

Drink plenty of water before bed, and knock 'em dead tomorrow...

[petronius]

7. That's the plan! (The water drinking, at least, we'll see about tomorrow)

And for the record, the wine box was not full when I started; I knew that didn't sound quite right...

[Aristus]

8. HA!

[cilla4progress]

4. Congrats,

Aristus!

[Aristus]

5. Well, it's not really 'vacation'; just some time off.

To me, vacation involves luggage...

I'm just hangin' around the house...

[cilla4progress]

6. Staycation!

Love it!

9. Years ago we went on a cruise

and someone at the dinner table said, hey, I'm not here to detox -- I'm here to intox.

I told her I would steal that line.

[Aristus]

10. Thank you. And now I will, too.
