Don't Judge Me!!!

I'm so excited it's today! Why?  Well, a little background: So I've mentioned a couple times that I am on a "healthy living kick", right?  Well, part of that is:  I've stopped drinking during the week.  Now some of you who aren't drinkers (what is WRONG with you!?!?!) may not understand why this is such a big deal! I mean, a nice glass of wine to wind down after a long, hard day!?  Deeelightful!  It's my little wonder drug!  It's the cure for whatever ails me!  Headache?  Glass of wine.  Bad day?  Glass of wine.  Pain in the ass husband?  Glass of wine (or three).  Cramps?  Glass of red wine!  Tooth ache, toe ache, feeling good, feeling bad:  WINE, WINE, WINE!!!

After reading that, some of you may be thinking that you should have held an intervention earlier and gotten me into some sort of "program".  But it isn't like I drink excessively.  And I don't drink to get drunk.  And I only have a glass or two.  My problem?  No! I'm not an alcoholic.  My problem is that alcohol has a LOT of calories and causes belly fat.  And if you've seen my belly recently, it is certainly wiggling with the wine that must still be sloshing around in there.  (Well now, that isn't a pretty thought or picture).  Anyway - my point is:  IT'S FRIDAY!  And I get to have a glass of wine tonight!  YEAH!

One more thing about hitting the "sauce", or rather quitting the "sauce".  Not drinking?  I sleep like a baby.  I fall asleep right away and NEVER wake up in the night.  I've also been reading a lot more.  I guess the moral of the story is:  Wine is good for what ails you but it certainly isn't good for you!

Ooh, bonus too:  We're getting Chipotle tonight for din din.  I'll get my usual burrito bowl but I won't get sour cream (I'll add a dollop of the fat free here at home) and I won't get guacamole.  I'll also get light everything.  Can't wait.

And that's all I have for now.  It's Friday and movie day.  We're finishing up Seven Pounds in both my Language Arts classes and I think I'll show Out of Africa next.  In Geography, we'll continue watching Alcatraz.  We're on episode #3.  The kids are liking it, I think.  (Of course in the first episode, a character said to another character, "Thanks for being a DICK!"  Apparently for the rest of the day that day, Diablo was calling other kids in other classes Dicks.  Oops!)

K - later!
