a new beverage addiction

so you may or may not have noticed that i am often obsessed with alcohol. to hear me talk, you would think that i am a raging, fall down daily drunken alcoholic. but it's really all talk. really. i just like to fantasize about cocktails.

for example, if someone pisses me off at work i think it would be a good time to go have a drink. often, i'm not even specific about the drink. and i'm probably more interested in the relaxing atmosphere of being NOT at work and being some place where i can have a cocktail. a lounge, by the pool, my house or a restaurant. any place will do.

and often i think about the various kinds of drinks i enjoy. Key lime pie martini's, lemon drop cocktails, Mai Tai's in Hawaii, midori cocktails, frozen bacardi cocktails, merlot wine, moscato di asti wine, extra dirty bombay martini's up.

but when it comes right down to it, i rarely get to go and have one of those in one of those places. and even if i did, before the first sip i start thinking about all the calories. and at the point at which i could feel ANY of it, i stop. because i hate spinning rooms. with a passion.

So i find it a bit interesting that my newest beverage obsession is alcohol free. lately i'm craving Sonic Grape Slushies. Giant ones that i drink fast enough to give myself an aneurysm. another good option, the Fruitista Freeze from Taco Bell. I had a mango strawberry one for lunch today, so now i'm satisfied but shivering here at my desk.

and with that, i want to wish Kevin a happy 25th anniversary of his Sobriety Day.
