Tie One On
So it’s midday on day 3 of the New Year and I am already nursing my 2nd hangover. The past few days have been bourbon fueled and filled with buffet tables. Even though I wanted to start my weight loss regime at the beginning of the year, I quickly realized that notion was futile.
On New Year’s Eve, a friend and I drove to Tacoma to ring in the New Year with Teresa (a.k.a “CB”) and John. It was lots of drinking and noshing on things that I don’t eat very often – like dairy and cheese. And of course there was bourbon. And wine. And staying up till 5:00 am. And the subsequent greasy spoon breakfast to sooth my tender insides. It took me a whole day and a half to recover from New Year’s Eve. Even worse off was the friend that I drove down with. She ended up getting up in the middle of breakfast at a restaurant so she could lay down in the car. On the drive home she had her eyes closed and was concentrating on not puking (which I did appreciate this given that we were in my car).
Then last night I went to CooperLord’s (a.k.a QB) house for a dinner party with all of my favorite former-coworkers/friends in the world. It was a mini-reunion of sorts and it was lovely to see everyone together around the same dinner table laughing and carrying on.
Cooper roasted up a gigantic alien-sized turkey which they got for $9. For some reason, we all found this very humorous and made our share of jokes about what it means to buy a turkey that is on clearance. I guess this is what happens when you put a bunch of “smart goody goody” people together – we talk politics, books, current events and then make jokes about tag-sale turkeys and subprime loans. We wax poetic about the cheese plate and gush over the charcuterie. And then we start talking shit about reality tv on Bravo. It’s borderline nerdy sounding, I know, and I don’t care.
Please pass the ibuprofen and a gallon of water.

Sure sounds more exciting and adventure-filled than mine. I was cleaning all day on New Year’s eve … took a 10 second break at midnight to watch the countdown … then continued cleaning and took care of necessary paperwork and bills ’til 5:30 in the morning. Wooo hoooooo ….. NOT! One day you’ll have to introduce me to Mr. Bourbon.
I’m with “its all in the mind”. I think we pretty much had a duplicate New Years. Now you know TWO rock stars.
jessica bern´s last blog post..Dumb and Dumber and DUMBEST.
I like your website…Last year my New Year’s Resolution was to give up alcohol. I lost 40 lbs by doing that last year. I also started exercising about 30 lbs into it. I have been slacking on that part lately but have not regained the weight – again just by giving up alcohol -not any foods.
