Well Megan and Heidi think we need to reduce the amount of intake on the alcohol. We had a little "team meeting" about it in my office on Friday. The terms have still yet to be written. They are thinking limitting it to once a week and special occasions.
Now I ask, why?
Their two reasons:
a. it's hard on the body and we are getting too old
b. too much damn money
As for (a), you two might be old, but come on... we can handle it. Also, when else are we going to have jobs that allow us to roll in when we need to, or take off a little early, or even sit in a zone and focus on holding it together?
Ok (b). Now yes, we have these great jobs with flexiblity, and I know they really are not conducive to a lavish lifestyle. As long as I have a few bucks in my pocket and a small emerge fund... what else am I going to spend my money on? Clothes? Electronics? Luxury vacations? Vacations are nice and all, but if I'm stuck at home every night staring at the walls, I'm going to NEED a vacation every two weeks.
Wow, this post makes me sound like such the alcoholic. I know, we just need to find ANOTHER hobby. But then again... hobbies are for those that have the 2.5 kids and an SUV. Today is the time for me. While I have no attachments, no real responsibilities, and still have my girlish smile I think I deserve to live my 20somethings to the fullest and look back and say... CHEERS!

I see you all in an AA meeting telling this story someday...
