Silly Ashley

What stupid things do you do when drinking?

My old "go-to" was to buy Ken expensive gifts when drunk.  I would intentionally pick out a gift before drinking, go have my drink, and then buy him a better gift.

In this fashion, Ken first was gifted with leather coasters at Francis Ford Coppola's Napa winery after the wine tasting.  Had I bought his gift before, he would have just gotten a plastic plate depicting a sea creature.  Next, Ken got the pre-selected boxers PLUS an un-sharpened Japanese sword from Disney's Japan in Epoct following my sake tasting.  Then he received a work of art from a Newport art gallery as "thanks" for proposing to me...after a margarita and a half.  Finally, we both got a Brazilian calf-skin rug (yes, it still has hair) during a brew fest.

I've since moved on from gifting Ken.  We've been buying so many things together, not to mention, we have a joint bank account, so gifts aren't my priority.  The new thing I do after drinking is signing up for running activities.

2 bottles of wine have committed me to two half-marathons (one in Tacoma, not even my city!) and a 14-week training program towards running a half marathon.

Damn, drinking really keeps me in shape.
