Happy Halloween Fellow Drunkards!
Thank goodness it's a holiday - it's not that I wouldn't have drank tonight anyway, but sometimes it helps to have an excuse.
Now here's a list of Halloween things I wish I wasn't too old for:
1. Trick or Treating.
2. T.P.-ing houses
3. Silly String Vandalism
4. Eating candy until I puke.
So in honor of Halloweens passed, we will play a drinking game instead!!
Here are the rules:
Every time someone says "Halloween," you must drink.
Every time you see a pumpkin, you must drink.
If you are dressing up tonight, you must take 2 shots before leaving the house.
When you come home drunk tonight, you must get on the Drunk at Home Forum and tell us your crazy stories!!
Be safe and have a BLAST!

Congratulations to me!
Three good things:
1) The website format has finally reached "Good Enough" status, thanks to W3Schools. Check it out at Drunk@Home. And please keep all criticism of my web design skillz to yourself.
2) The forum is up and running! What forumtastic news for us all! Please join us at Drunk & Sociable next time you're tipsy, lonely, and wondering if there are any other people feeling the same way (trust me, there are).
3) We have a new contributor to our humble blog. He's handsome and clever and a great catch in general, and I don't just say that because I'm in love with him. Seriously, he's a hilarious writer and an experienced drink@homer; I can't wait to see what he cooks up for us.
Ciao ciao,
Lizz

It's Halloween Weekend!
Time to give thanks to all the girls who worked out for a month and dieted so they could fit into tiny, slutty costumes for our collective enjoyment. I'd like to take a minute to run-down some of my favorites from this year.
"Sexy" Ms. Potato Head
Now, lets think long and hard about this one for just a hot second. She cannot be a sexy Ms. Potato Head by virtue of the fact that she already has a head of her own. Ms. Potato Head must have been left in the pantry too long and has begun to sprout.
This is only Ms. Potato Head if she had gone to South America to have 60% of her body mass removed via plastic surgery. We all know Ms. Potato Head as being round - perhaps this would have been a better costume for a "rounder" kind of girl, in which case, it still wouldn't be sexy.
I think we know who the real "potato head" in this picture is.
The Non-Costume
Can we all just agree that this is not a costume?
Yes, it was listed as a Halloween costume, sure. And I can get behind the best tradition of the holiday - girls dressing like hookers - yes.
However, due to the halter-top nature of the costume and the wafer-thin fabric, there is literally nothing left to the imagination. I think I'd be more comfortable being nude in public than pretending that my Banana Hammock for Women passed off as clothing.
PROS - Easy access for peeing.
CONS - You freeze your nipples off.
The Wrong-Holiday Costume
This one has blown my mind for years.
Dressing up like a sexy Santa or cute little elf is really adorable - On Christmas.
Why, oh, why must we cross-mix holidays? I sincerely can say that I've never seen a girl walking around as Sexy Santa on Halloween night, but I wouldn't put it past someone out there to think this is a really bright idea.
That being said, consider this my formal request to costume companies all across China - please stop.
Cops and Robbers
Ok, I'll admit it, these girls are hot.
Only downfall is someone mistaking you for an actual cop or an actual criminal. This is probably unlikely.
One thing you will definitely need to pull this off is Photoshop. Yes, you will need to buy Photoshop to look this good. If I didn't think my lovely cop-and-robber fantasies were about to be destroyed by several overweight girls who squeeze their giant muffin-tops into these tiny mid-drift costumes, I'd be more inclined to recommend the outfits.
Also, you'll need to go to an adult entertainment store to find those boots.
I love those boots.
Im Super Desperate Costume
Here, we see the common dingbat in flight.
Ladies, what are we saying when we dress up like a stupid, pink remote control? Please control me! Im Desperate and most likely completely crazy! Wheeeeeeee!
The best part of this costume for sure is the "Press" button on her head. Like she's so dumb, you're going to need to press the "on" button to her brain if you'd like to talk to her.
Last, but most certainly not least, if you dress up as a remote control, why do you need another remote control strapped to your thigh?
A remote control to control the girl dressed up as a remote control.
Blondes: confirming stereotypes for centuries.
That is all! Enjoy your Halloween weekend!
Drink LOTS
Dont DRIVE
And most definitely go to drunkathome.com to relay your awesome drinking stories from the weekend to the rest of us!!!

There is no God.
Oh for goodness' sake. I have Googled my heart out, and read CSS tutorials until my head hurt (which didn't take long, considering just this morning I had never heard of CSS), and I still haven't found a straightforward answer to WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE MY WEBSITE THE SAME IN ALL RESOLUTIONS. I'm usually not one for caps - I'm quite soft-spoken - but I am at my wit's end up in here. Random code bits don't help much when I have no idea how to edit them or where to put them.

Technical Difficulties
Soooooo, I....
1) Finally, after much laboring, get the website looking more or less how I want it.
2) Rejoice.
3) Check out the website from a different computer.
4) Bang head on said computer.
It looks completely different on a smaller monitor! Why oh why does web design have to be so needlessly difficult?? The internet should be accessible to people with Liberal Arts degrees, too, ya know. This is discrimination. Is there anyone out there who can help me??
Deep breath. I, with the aid of my trusty Franzia boxed wine ("Cheap Wine Reviews" is a feature we will soon add to the blog, because that's how I roll), will calm down and Google this until I sort it out. If we have any loyal fans, I thank you for your patience.
Smooches,
Miss Lizzie*
*sounds like I work "upstairs" in a saloon, but I like it because it's the term of endearment Heather calls me.

Minutes from D@H Meeting This Week
Pssssssh, yeah right! Like we keep minutes. Please.
Really, we more so emptied out a box of wine and vented our daily life frustrations. It was very cathartic. However, we did decide to open a YouTube channel and for your entertainment, we will begin recording drunken videos of ourselves in the very near future. If you have questions you would like us to take, we'd be happy to integrate and discuss so just contact us if you get a bright idea or something.
Now ponder this:

What's Wrong With You?
Occasionally, I throw myself pretty size-able pity parties [pictured]. No one else is going to throw one for me, so I'm content to live in Crazy Town, party of 1, indefinitely.
During one of my bigger pity parties, the liquor started talking back! I got really, REALLY angry with myself for being such a whiny-ass. SO, the following list ensued.
Watch as I solve pretty much every problem you've ever thought you had:
What's Wrong With You?
1) Too fat.
Quit stuffing your face and get off your ass.
2) Too poor.
Quit spending money on shit you don't need.
3) Too ugly.
Slap some make-up on them shits!
4) Crappy personality.
Quit being a weirdo and be a normal effing person.
5) Too stupid.
Read a book, moron.
That ought to do it! There isn't a problem in the world that can't be solved with critical thinking and an attitude!
Do work and don't forget to visit the site!

Monday, Monday
Uuuggggggh. It's totally Monday.
Time to reflect upon how much of my precious and limited free-time I wasted getting wasted.
Did you:
-Finish Painting the wall?
No.
- Clean out the car?
No.
- Unpack the fall/winter clothes?
No.
Cheers to another super fun, unproductive weekend! Hoorah!

Fyi, Ders:
Just a quick note to say that I will put tons of work into the forum this weekend. Heather currently can't find the piece of paper with the admin login & password (my guess is she had a few Mojitos while creating the thing), but she is fervently looking. Everyone cross your fingers that it can be found... i.e. that her son didn't eat it. I have Big Drunken Plans(TM) for the forum which must not be thwarted by a one-year old who likes to chew on things.
Hugs and kisses,
Heather's cohort

OMFG We Finally Launched!!!
Ok, so it's not perfect, but whatever.
The point is.....
THE PAGE IS FINALLY LAUNCHED!!!!
More than likely, we'll be working through some bugs here and there as we go along and learn a bit more about how to operate this damn thing. But, I'm so excited to have the site up for everyone's collective enjoyment!
How long have we all needed a place to go to be drunk at home together? Like forever.
So have super tons of fun and if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us! We like hearing feedback on how we can improve.
Additionally, it turns out that website design is just ever so slightly over my head, so if you are a web designer who works for a reasonable rate, gimme a shout!
