Sad Friday

[Pappers_]

So, my life-partner/roommate decided that she would not be drinking during Lent. This has left me sad, because there is no point in going out to brewpubs together, which is one of my favorite things to do. So, I have been occasionally stopping by after work, but tonight, for example, our date night will not involve a tap room. I'm sure I'll have a beer at whatever restaurant we go to, but its not the same. Makes me generally cranky and whiny. Maybe I'll have to find us a brewpub where we can have dinner, too.

Haha. Sad, indeed. But you know who the DD is now. Party on, Garth!

Don't forget to be grateful that you have a life-partner/roommate.

Take the drive to 3 Floyd's. Their food is actually really good.

She's happy. You're more happy. Life is bliss...

Dont worry PAPPERS_. Easter is just around the corner!

 

[Homercidal]

No worries, mate, I'll have an extra at the brewpub we're going to in your honor!

(Actually I don't think we're going anywhere. But if we were, my wife doesn't drink, usually, so we're in the same boat. It's never stopped me from having a good time.)

Exactly! Consider this an opportunity to have that nth pint that you might normally pass on out of consideration for your fellow travelers.

Lent ends on Easter, just 15 days from now. This is your opportunity to show how important your life partner is to you. After this weekend, like on Monday, tell her you will be giving up drinking until Easter, at that point you'll only have to quit for 12 days. Then plan some non drinking things to do.
This post is supposed to be somewhat sarcastic, but seriously, giving up drinking for a short period of time might be a good thing. Perhaps even ask her why giving up alcohol for lent was her choice? Maybe ask yourself what, and how big a role alcohol plays in your life?
The best part will be celebrating the end of Lent, you could treat yourself to a few pints at your favorite place.

Small price to pay for growing together

My grandparents would fast whenever the other one had to get blood work. They also made each other violently angry. Such is the nature of the universe.

So, she's giving up alcohol for lent. And the church will acknowledge her sacrifice with eucharist, which is most likely alcoholic?

Haha, let's not go into that kind of discussion (although, I know, it's fun, but gonna get us into trouble).

I gave up religion for Lent. It makes life much easier.

So go to the brew pub with her anyway! They all serve non alcoholic drinks! She can have a soda while you have a beer!
