Pancakes with syrup of ipecac. ;-)

cook some cabbage... microwave some tuna salad... make some egg salad.

ugh, the idea of all those smells mingling in the air makes my stomach turn.

spicy chorizo omelette with lots of garlic in it..... a side of dog biscuits without butter and jelly.

As a hibby who doesn't drink, I have zero sympathy for the guy. It was your work party, he should have behaved.

Anchovy omelet with sour cream and boiled cabbage. And don't forget the hot sauce ... it'll burn coming out.

Anything with fish would be unappetizing.

Could be worse. People will eventually forget whose husband was the screwup, or, if this isn't a recurring behaviour, they'll just figure it was one of those moments of stupidity that we all have, and it won't reflect on you.

It's worse when the party animal works at the company. Those sorts of things get remembered for a very long time.

My husband's Christmas party was last night, and there was only one person having "too much" fun, and he was just a little over-happy as opposed to being obnoxious.

Call me a fuddy-duddy or whatever, but frankly, the whole thing strikes me as more than a little bit childish.

Clearly, he's already suffering the consequences of his actions. Presumably, he's already experiencing deep regrets for his less than stellar behavior. He's an adult who used poor judgment. He is responsible for his own actions. Why does that reflect poorly on you? You're not his mother. Which is also why it's not your job to "punish" him or "teach him a lesson". You should have insisted on making an early exit from the party at the first sign of over-imbibing, long before he became "the life of the party". That was the extent of your responsibility for his actions. You did not do that, so you are complicit, and now you also must live with the fallout.

By trying to rub salt in his wounds, you're behaving just as badly as he did. No, that's not right. Your behavior is actually worse. He made a mistake that hurt your feelings. You're going out of your way to be intentionally cruel.

Sorry to lecture. But if you loved this man enough to marry him, why on earth would you want to torture him and cause him more pain? Why would you want to throw fuel on the flames of what is already an unpleasant little moment of ordinary marital discord?

If I were you, I'd go out and do something that makes you happy -- shopping, lunch with a friend, a tromp through the park, whatever. Leave hubby a note saying where you've gone, explain that you're trying to cool off and clear you head, and inform him that you'll be wanting to have a heart-to-heart with him when you get home. Add a P.S. asking him to please clean the bathroom and change the bedding.

When you get home, talk it over. Calmly. Like adults. Tell him how his behavior made you feel and explain your work-related worries. Let him apologize. Let him try to make it up to you.

You'll be glad you did.

Merry Christmas!

I agree with LoCo. This is all so very junior high...

wow, LoCo, you've dispensed good advice before, but I think this one is the best. I really like the part about asking him to clean the bathroom and change the bedding.

Amen LoCo

I would serve him with a trip to a marriage counselor. Everyone drinks a bit now and then and feels poorly however if he did not have the good sense God gave him to not act like an asshat at your Christmas party maybe the problem is not what to feed him.
If someone did this to me I would be angry, so let me validate your feelings.
The "he made a mistake" thing only goes so far. Love and respect go hand in hand. If you do not respect me enough not to act like a dope where I work that is very plainly a problem.
Although I agree with the basis of what Loco said I am don't think punishment is the issue. I think a sit down and tell me why the $%&# you %&$# even thought to do that, is what is needed. If the answers are no good you got a real issue at hand.
As for the making up he really cannot make it up to you the damage is done. He can apologize and then you have to go into work and try and pretend like it never happened. Which is what I would do. Hopefully everyone else was a bit into the booze as well and does not want to call attention to it. Next time leave him home because he cannot act responsibly.
Back to what I said a week ago NEVER drink with people you work with NOTHING good ever comes of it.

How about you just tie him up and force him to watch Rachel Ray reruns - yumo dude !

LOL.....geez tough crowd out there! I was the 1 in your hubby's shoes a couple years back, making a complete a$$ of myself at my hubby's holiday party a couple years back. Well, can you blame me? A night of attorney's and you would want to do the same! (haha) And I didn't awake the next day to my husband trying to serve me a poisoned breakfast, luckily! I am sure, like me, your hubby will be on his best behavior at future events.

And you could feed him Rachel Ray's dog food called Nutrish (would I lie to you?) while he was forced to watch her yell non-stop for 2 episodes in a row. So not Delish.

Leftover turkey tetrazzini from Thankgiving that you "forgot" to freeze. (Just kidding!) His indiscretion doesn't deserve a trip to the hospital (but close!)

For me, it is any ground beef with filler; meatballs, meatloaf, etc My son loves them and my husband loathes them. It is perfect. But since I am not really into passive aggressive behavior, or I at least try to keep it toned down, the threat is usually enough.

definately kippers and runny sunny side up eggs and very burnt toast, in other words nothing edible. ahahahahahhahahaha

some nice fudge brownies with chocolate flavor exlax. now that's mean. you can smile while he eats and smile as he runs. no pun intended.

OMG. PerkyMac... that is the funniest thing ever. We watched it together and had a good laugh. Thanks!
