Last night, while I was out with the girls, I texted Ashley with these words:
“Where do you work?”
Within a minute, she called me. This is the conversation that followed (to the best of my memory, that is):
Me: Hello?
Ashley: Are you drunk?!
(No “hello, Mom, how are you…”)
Me: What?! NO! Why do you ask that?
Ashley: That was the weirdest text you have ever sent me.
(You mean the one that I sent you out of the blue telling you that I loved you wasn’t weirder?)
Me (puzzled, thinking I had typed wrong or said something totally off the wall): Why? What did it say?
Ashley: You asked me where I worked.
Me: Yeah, I want to know.
Ashley: I work at the same place that I have worked for the last 2 years. Where are you?! Are you drunk?
Me: I know, but what is the name of the place?
Ashley: It’s called XYZ (not the real name). Where are you?!
Me: That’s it!!
(To my friends), XYZ is where she works.
Friends: Ahhh…
Yeah, that’s it…
Oh, okay, now I know what you are talking about.
Me: I am at Buffalo Wild Wings.
Ashley: How much have you had to drink?
Me: (censored, damn censors)
Ashley: What? What was the second thing you said?
Me: (more censoring)
Ashley: What?! (Censored)?! Yeah, you’re drunk.
Me: No I am not.
Ashley: One of those drinks would give me a buzz.
Me: Not me. I’m older than you.
Ashley: But I probably drink more often.
Me: But I’ve been drinking longer.
Ashley: Um, okay, have fun with your friends, Mom.
Please keep in mind that I would never ever drive if I was even feeling a little buzzed. That being said, I felt good. We had a great time. We laughed. A lot!



I don’t understand the need for censoring. Why can’t we know what you were drinking?
The day you can drunk dial your daughter is surely a milestone in life.
It sounds like you were buzzed!!
That is hilarious! I can not wait until my son asks me flat out if I am drunk!!! I probably will fall off the bar stool and pee my pants. Heh.
I think it’s a milestone when you reach a point in your life where you can drunk dial your kids! Not that I’ve ever done such a thing, of course
Recently drank with Sons 1&2 and woke up drunk the next day! I haven’t texted while drunk though! (I’ll have to try that!) Can I send the text to you? LOL
You weren’t drunk, just old. :((
I’m so glad you had a such good time and felt good
so wait. you are willing to drunk dial Ashley, but you wont do a drunk posting for us?
*hurt*
:((
Yeah, what bluepaintred said! You simply canNOT save all that fun for family!
Hmmm…my anti-spam word is Halloween..
Where was I…oh yes
OMG..Buffalo Wild Wings just opened here a month or so ago! Of course, I only drink their wine but it is excellent. I drunk dial my daughter all the time…of course, I am at home and bored and she is an insominiac, and her husband works out of town during the week…
what…me drinking…no..not…well…maybe a glass of red wine…
Fab–We don’t want to improperly influence the younguns.
Britt–Who knew? I guess it was. lol
Lynda–Perhaps a little.
muttprincess–It was pretty funny. It would have been funnier if I had been able to hear her better, over all the bar noise.
Suzi–No, of course not. I haven’t either.
MM–Absolutely! Please feel free.
Finn–There is that O word again. blech. lol
CS–Me, too. I almost backed out at the last minute. I’m glad that I didn’t.
Blue–Um, I think that was a drunken posting. At least that’s how I felt. I just am obsessed about editing. lol
Pand0ra–Here is what I said to Blue:
So, um, yeah.
TrishK–I gotta get rid of the old holiday AS words and replace them with new ones. Have you been to Buffalo Wild Wings yet? It’s pretty good. Sometime we should get drunk and drunk dial each other.
Drunk dialing your daughter… I wonder if that is just as bad as having one of my boss’ drunk dial me….
