The past two nights I have gone to bed early without drinking or smoking (I'm also out of green, my sweet green *sigh*) and I keep telling myself how great it is.
So c'mon over to my place. Since those bluenoses passed the jihad on smoking, I've opened up a speakeasy. The bar is always open. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Yeah, nothing fruity for me. I like my drinks tough. Okay, a little frou now and again is good but right now I want a stiff drink and a smoke and I wish I had a bar I could sit down to and drink and smoke.
I'm a cleaning the office and a drinking beer. But I'm actually been sober since last week, till now, which was nice... But everything in moderation, you know?
I have a horrible hangover because I went to the Christmas party at my old job (a brewpub) last night and drank 4.5, count them, only 4.5 of their beers. Whatever the hell the master brewer (who's a weirdo) does to his beer, it kills me the next day. This is unfair, because fer chrissake, I could have had four and a half bourbons and felt better today than I do after four of their ESBs or if I'd had four and a half PBRs or Buds or something I would have been totally & completely fine and, to add insult to injury, I wasn't even that drunk.
That's awesome news, amberglow... hopefully that'll take some of the wind out of Wildmon's sails. :)
And lola_g, I will have a Guinness tonight in your honor. I've been sorta trying to limit my drinking to weekends... but my weekends keep starting on Wednesday night.
1 hour 20 mins until obligatory holiday party #2 commences. Alcohol will be involved. It's at a Greek restaurant. Anyone want to make a recommendation from their menu?
Avgolemono is more or less the best soup ever invented.
Although I don't know if that is the universal spelling of it in roman characters. It's the lemon/egg soup. So good. Greek food is the shit, eat a bunch from the appetizer menu and the soup maybe, dolmas and all that.
