I have a few rules that I generally try to stick to during the work week:
1.) No beverages that contain tons of caffeine – I find that I sleep much, much better if I do not subject myself to copious amounts of this during the work week. Generally, I let myself have a cup of tea for breakfast and maybe another for lunch and that is it.
2.) No alcoholic beverages before 6pm – This is because if I have a drink after 6 pm, usually it means that we are out to dinner with friends, and on that special occasion I will sometimes (but rarely) have a drink with dinner. Other instances that might be acceptable for a drink after 6pm are close sporting events (i.e. – Duke basketball games) but usually only during playoff (NCAA tournament) time.
3.) Absolutely no drinking alcoholic beverages alone – Usually drinking for me is totally a social activity and I NEVER come home from a long day at work and pop open a beer to chill out.
This week is special though. I have now broken all 3 of this rules in one sitting. Danny is currently at the gym working out and I just couldn’t wait until he got home to pour myself a drink. My drink of choice? A crown and coke – tonight I had to break out the hard stuff.
(Note to self – I really need to use the D300 more often, the pictures are SO much better than my Canon Powershot – go figure!)
Having a Crown and Coke breaks rules #1 and #2 in one fell swoop. 2 birds/1 Stone.
I would never, ever in a million years recommend that anyone trying to plan a huge party wedding reception while also trying to make other huge life issues like selling our buying real estate. Horrible idea on my part and a level of stress that I did not need to bring on myself.
