Laugh or You'll Cry!
I come from a family of "black humourists" and I've always relied on my sense of humour to get me through the worst times - though a lot of people misunderstand and see this as insensitivity.
I had a little moment before not a real laugh-out loud, I just smiled to myself.
I was in the local shop looking at the soft drinks and again feeling mad that there are hardly any that I like. Then I noticed they had started selling Shloer fizzy grape juice which I LOVE! I looked at the price and thought "£2.10?? That's way too expensive" and was about to walk away when I remembered that up until seven days ago I would, on a nightly basis, purchase either a £4 bottle of wine or £7 bottle of Cava from the same store (having usually been to the pub after work with friends for a swift couple at £3.50 each). Struck me as a little funny. Funny like hemorrhoids.

As a wine drinker, I would go through two bottles a night and never bought bottles that cost less than about $10 because I wanted to pretend I still had some class (nothing says classy like guzzling wine at home by yourself!). I need to find something fun to use that extra money on...

I love everyone's stories! I can relate to wanting to have a "little class" TwelveSteps! haha. I also figured maybe I would only get a bad (instead of severe) headache for a couple extra bucks......geez.
At one point I started wondering how I could use all those pretty bottles, even make some money from them. I can just see me working with glass while intoxicated - yikes!
