And a Merry Christmas…

So I had a lovely holiday with my family. Spent a week away from work, in the mountains, eating my mama’s yummy food.

And I come home to a lovely Christmas present. Major home repairs that will cost 1/7th of my year’s salary.

Merry Fucking Christmas.

Anybody know a good street corner? I need some cash.

On the homefront…

K. and I are no longer seeing each other, outside of the weekly brunch.  I feel like I should be sad about it, but I’m really not.

The only thing I feel I have left to do in this town is to deal with my longtime crush.  And, to that end, I have asked him out to dinner tonight.  He seemed kind of happy about it, so maybe…  Watch me finally make something work right when I have decided to leave!

And in other news– I have decided to give up alcohol for good.  There are too many reasons not to:

1. More money in my bank account
2. More productive life
3. Healthier life
4. Weight loss
5. No more dumb decisions at three in the morning
6. No more drunk dialing (Now you get me calling you sober in the middle of the night!)
7. No more fear.

It’s going to be really hard to give up a lifestyle–all of my friends drink, all activities take place in bars, etc.  But, I know that it will be easier to change now.  Right now.  I have to believe that there is another way for me to live.
