something you never have to worry about: bats in your hair, Bats have no interest in anything as big as we, and will dodge us faster than we can move. So, just walk and enjoy the skeeter eaters.

I am off to bed.

The nice weather + boredom is starting to get my AV going a little. Hanging in there though ��

Having those thoughts like "everyone else is out having a good time and drinking, I wish I could enjoy a drink like they can". But...I know I cant. I know I would not end up having a good time. I know I would get myself sick and anxious and depressed if I do it.

Ugh.

Hello girls..these people who are out having a good time...are they getting drunk? No. You know why? Because they drink moderately.....have a drink and enjoy the night.....don't know about you, but that is not my mode. Have a drink and have another drink and have another drink and have another drink and it is all so so bad after that.

So I don't want that. s

A lot of my friends get drunk. I feel like people in their mid-late 20's still act like teenagers where I live. However, I don't want to be like that. I have a lot of responsibility, and hate hate the way I act when I drink. I can have a good time without alcohol!

Well, the thing is, you can maybe do it for a while in your 20s.....but then you stop....but for some of us, we can't. And maybe like you, I already knew in my 20s that I didn't drink like other people.....and I couldn't stop. And I didn't.

That's just the truth....some people CAN drink and stop, and sure it is unfair....but it is the way it is....I cannot. And I had to learn the hard way....20 + years of pain.

I am hoping that everyone doesn't have to do that. ♥

We tend to overlook the fact that in actuality...MORE people are out having fun sober in this great weather than there are people out there getting drunk or even buzzed/ enjoying one or two. WE are now in the majority! I was just at the gym EVERYONE was sober. I passed by the bike trail...ALL the families were SOBER! The drunk is the annoying fool. Even at my son' hockey tryout last night. There were a number of dad's drinking beer. But I did not notice anyone drunk and certainly there were WAY more people not drinking beer and it was late on a Friday. We are joining the sober majority...and most of those people are NOT alcoholics. They are still choosing to not to drink because it is a healthier life.

If I wake up a different person does that mean I slept with a stranger?

That is certainly true. Just my AV giving me the case of the "woe is me" because I wish I could have been a person who only had 1-2 and stopped. Oh well, c'est la vie. I don't need it.

I can’t do a hula hoop to save my life!

I could do the Jingle Jump, though.

Does anyone remember that?
