OTW

This stands for off the wagon.

Last week was actually a fantastic week for me. Only had 3 drinks cumulatively over the entire 5 days that makes up the work week.  Felt good.  Lots of yoga.  Lots of love to the body. Wrote Jacques a long heart felt letter, did not get 100% the response that I put out to the universe to receive but I did it, I took a risk in love.  I told him I loved him and that life is too short to not go over what you want.  And right now, I want him. I want us, and I want what we could be.

However, I also went out on a date with the film dude I made out with last Saturday.  I like him.  Not sure I like him in a romantic way but did enjoy the 2 hours sitting, laughing (drinking) and talking. 

Last night wasn’t that I was waaaaaay off the wagon but rather that I had been good all. week. long. and went out with a bunch of friends and had a friggin’ blast!  Laughed, danced, gigged (yes, it ‘till St Paddy’s Weekend after all!) felt confidant and had a great hair day.  Oh and the cheetah pants on.  I mean, can you not have a fantastic night with a good hair day, great friends, dancing and cheetah pants?  I wish I could be on of those peeps that goes out, has 3-4 drinks on a cray cray night and wakes up looking (and feeling) decent.  Someday, and someday soon I am going to effing find that switch and flip it off.  You know, that switch that auto-goes-on like a breaker does when it dies and tells my brain to have another. And another. And another. 

By this definition I am ok:

 

By this one….well, maybe we should elaborate:

Via Wiki:  Alcoholism is a broad term for problems with alcohol, and is generally used to mean compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcoholic beverages, usually to the detriment of the drinker's health, personal relationships, and social standing.

cumpulsive- yes.  uncontrolled?  Maybe- really it is that effing 3rd drink that says, “have another you lush”.  Detriment of heath- probably, detriment of personal relationships- 1 reason why I had to write Jacques. Detriment of social standing- nope.  Just found this also on the interwebs…King Alcohol.  made me giggle.  Speaking of, my bidness partner is going to pick us up mimosas right now and then we are going to rearrange the shop…oh shiza.  I am sure today is going to turn into a shit show…will keep you posted.
