Bottoms Up!

I am a true believer in the wonderfully relaxing effects that alcohol can sometimes bring. I now completely understand when people say, “I need a drink”. Contrary to what Heather Locklear or “the old man” may think I am not an alcoholic – at least not yet. All that to say that I have discovered yet another spirit that I love.


It all started last Friday. I had just worked a 14 hour day, “the son” was in Sacramento and I was feeling the need for something stronger than the Lemonade Kool-Aid I had in the fridge at home. As soon as I left my second job I headed right across the street to the Liquor Store. Unfortunately, they did not have the Dailys (http://lbrlvr.blogspot.com/2008/06/whats-up.html) I was looking for. So, it was back to wander the aisles. HHHMMMM. I already had vodka and long island ice tea at home. I don’t drink beer or wine. That’s when I remembered that one time one of my “ghetto girls” (as the old man calls my fav buddies), this time it was Peg Bundy, brought some Arbor Mist to one of our gatherings. While, I don’t usually like wine I remembered that I did like Arbor Mist because it was a lot sweeter and fruity. So, I grabbed a bottle of the Island Fruits Pinot Grigio. Once I made it home I tuned the television to Channel 9 to catch TMZ, put my beverage in the freezer, put some mini tater tots in the oven and turned on the shower. After my shower I put on my new pjs, seasoned my tots, got my big glass of Arbor Mist (AM) and sat down on the couch. After a few sips (gulps) of AM, a couple of handfuls of tots and ½ hour of TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/) it dawned on me what I must look like. I had flashes of Monday morning at work...


Co-worker: “Jacke what did you do this weekend?”
Me: “Oh, I had a night in. I watched TMZ, ate some tater tots and drank a bottle of Arbor Mist in my new pjs.”
Co-worker: With raised eye brow, “Oh that’s nice.”



Needless to say that didn’t slow me down, I could always just say that after working 14 hours, I volunteered by handing out sandwiches to run aways, ironed all my clothes for the coming week, rode my bicycle 16 miles and built a Habitat for Humanity home. (Yeah, that’s the ticket) On the positive side I didn’t completely finish off the entire bottle – there was enough for a couple of glasses left!

Anyways I wasn't as bad as Dr. Steve Brule (http://stevebrule.blogspot.com/). If you've never checked out Dr Steve, Jan and Wayne Skylar, you've got to watch this! It'll have you rolling in the aisles!
