Jenafer and I went on a cruise that went to Ensenada to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. More on that later. I have a funny story to share. On the last night of the cruise, after dinner, I went to the customer service desk to get an early disembarkation tag. I observed a couple in front of me getting a free deck of playing cards (each) from the customer service rep. I talked to them by the elevator and found out that all they did to get them was to ask. So I went back to our cabin without delay to get Jen so we could get our two decks. I told her the good news and we headed up.
We were waiting in line and Jen started to sway. I asked if she was feeling the movement of the boat and she said as she slurred slightly, "No, I took and Ambien 5 minutes before you got to the cabin." After Jen takes Ambien its about 10 minutes until lights out.After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, we got our cards and headed back to the cabin. The slurring of words and the unsure footing continued to get worse. We made it to the elevator bank and waited for the elevator. The doors opened and to our bad luck 4 adults stood there and I had to guide my nearly asleep wife into the elevator. She looked like we just came from the bar. We walked in and Jen stumbled into one of the guys and then into the back wall. Once she was leaning against the back wall, she was swaying back and forth. The guy she bumped into said, with a laugh, "You know if you lean against the corner, you will have two walls to lean against." So she moved into the corner and said, "You may think, I am drrrrrunk, but I'm not. I had an Ambien." Everyone in the elevator laughed. The doors opened and we started to get out. As we did so, one of the guys said, "Yeah, an Ambien and a bottle of wine."
I asked Jen the next day if she remembered getting cards the previous night and she had no recollection after leaving the room. Good times.

It's like you are peering directly into my soul.
Good thing you don't drink Jena!
This isn't the first time Jen's been mistaken for being drunk... coinsidence?
But, did she sing you a song? 'Cause when I was on vacay with an Ambien drunk she sang me little songs every night. Just sayin.
Anita-You can't drop a drunk story comment like that from our single glory days and not explain!
Funny.
Bwahahahaha! Oh...what I would have given to see that! Glad you had fun on the cruise though!
Okay, I was asked so kindly to clarify my comment...About 15 years ago Jen and I went out to Denny's after our wild New Year's Eve celebration (by wild I mean the church sponsered dance ending at 12:30 instead of 11). Jen ordered some mozzerella sticks that didn't sit so well with her (or so she would have you believe) and ended up horking in the parking lot, while I held back her hair (I know, I'm a good friend). Since it was New Years Eve everyone thought that she, a little 14 year old girl, was drunk. Minus the puke, it was pretty funny!
Hilarious! Jen always makes for some funny stories. And props to Annette for using the word "hork," that's my favorite choice of words to descibe barfing. It just doesn't get used often enough!
How can I get an Ambien? :) ~Jeffi
DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!! I thought it was a miracle cure for my chronic insomnia... then 9 months later I slowly started having weird daytime symptoms like anxiety and strange thoughts. Turns out even thought I was steady on the same dose my doctor put me on I was in withdrawal. I thought I would come off it and be fine in a few days. Nope! Turns out withdrawal from this drug can last weeks, even months. It is literally harder to get off of this drug then heroin. Please google "benzo withdrawal" to see what you could be in for...
