Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
I had a work-sanctioned happy hour yesterday afternoon. I had one cocktail at 4pm, which kicked off a domino effect:
1. Falling asleep on ride home
2. Having ice cream sandwiches for dinner
3. Opting to skip dance class (bah! I regret this the most, but it just wasn’t going to happen)
4. Taking bath at 7pm
5. Falling asleep at 7:30 and sleeping straight through until 7:30 this morning
It’s not even like I got a buzz off the one drink! It just stole my entire evening, and disappeared snickering into the darkness.

Nice domino effect … are you going to start your next unplugged night with a cocktail then ?

That’s ALMOST an unplugged nite for you…almost (well, if you turned your phone off, that is).

Ice cream sandwiches for dinner? Doesn’t sound like ALL was lost…
