This was the question of the weekend. In preparation for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas, my husband kindly asks me if I think I can hang like you used to. Context meaning, can I still party like a rock star for an extended long period of time with out being an old lady. He has had more of an opportunity to test his limits than I have lately, I mean, one of us has to be the responsible one right? We do have a child after all. Although, I wouldn’t mind going on a drinking bender every once in a while. But that’s what weekends to Vegas are all about. I assured him I would be able to hold my own and he snickered.
Really?! Extremely inappropriate.
That is one of the things I am pretty good at…having a good time while enjoying alcoholic beverages. But then his crazy words get stuck in my head. What if I can’t hang like I used to? Wah. I’d be really, REALLY pissed. Then all these thoughts of me being a boring 30 year old flood me. The horror…sends chills down my spine just thinking.
I shake the fact that my husbands comment got under my skin and power through my response. Is he serious? He met me years into my prime party girl mode. So, there is only one thing to say about his aging question, yeah, you’re damn right I can still hang! I can hang better than any 20-something year old. Probably even more than he can!
I mean, it is Vegas after all. It’s a different world out there. Besides, there’s always Red Bull to help me through.
