If my liver could speak, it would be screaming for respite.  The Best Friend™ arrived, and the drinking-off of our faces commenced.  And it was an interesting and great weekend, though there are a couple of gaps in my head — which may possibly have been generated by the three Irish car bombs we did in under an hour one night (which topped off the three very strong mojitos we had earlier at Lori and Nicole‘s birthday party at Trader Vic’s, a place notorious for its strong drinks), and there was the night of the “special” cookie, where we both freaked out a little based on the ingredients.  Suffice it to say that I was more wrecked this past weekend than I have been in a while, and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.  The BF is a great partner-in-crime.  That’s not to say that we weren’t sober at any point this past weekend (illustrated here). 

So, those of you with laptops, question:  Do you shut the computer down when you leave your place or when you go to sleep for the night, or do you just put the laptop to sleep?  How often (and when) do you actually shut down and start up?
