Halloween Party
Sat Nov 01 2008

We were invited to a Halloween party at the neighbors last night, which was a costume party. The best costume by far was a couple who came dressed as Sonny and Cher. She was all of 5'3, he was about 6'3. Guess who was Sonny, and who was Cher. Cher with a full 'stash and beard is a truly disturbing sight...

My costume? I borrowed a diaper from the neighbor, put it on my head and I went as a Party Pooper.

The party started after trick-or-treating was over (9:30) and went until who-knows-when. I called it quits around midnight when I was struggling to keep my eyes open. Having been awake for 20 hours at that point, and a couple drinkey-poo's resulted in a sleepy Allimom.

I didn't drink enough to feel unwell this morning (2.5 drinks nursed over the course of 3 hours), so I was rather surprised when I felt under the weather today. About mid-day I realized it wasn't a "morning-after" unwell, it was a "you ate something you shouldn't have" unwell. I started going over in my mind what I had... pigs in a blanket, no. Cream-cheese and pepper & onion relish with crackers... no. Cream cheese with cocktail sauce, shrimp and crackers... no. a gingersnap cookie dipped in a pumpkin & cream cheese sauce.... wait a minute, don't gingersnap cookies have molasses in them? A quick look at the recipe online confirmed that.

One solitary gingersnap cookie has left me sick today.

I really need to learn to put food on my plate BEFORE my first drink in the future, when I can remember my food sensitivities and allergies!

Of course, since I only drink about 3 times a year, this isn't something I need to worry about on a regular basis. I will, however, remember this for New Years Eve.
