Day 36

Being sober gives me a whole new meaning of the term ‘beer goggles’. My new beer goggles consist of those days when everything reminds me alcohol. I recently got a second job to help hit my goal of being ‘debt free by 2011’. So during training they sit me next to this guy that reeks of alcohol. He reminded me of my grandfather when I was younger when he spoke. Then the other night my husband and I went out to eat and you pretty much had to jump over the wine display to get to the hostess station. And wouldn’t you know they had a 20 minute wait but immediate seating in the lounge area. It was eight o’clock on a Saturday night and the Twins were playing so you can imagine the atmosphere in the lounge. There were your typical men with their 200 ounce beers victory fist bumping and women with chic drinks like margaritas and daiquiris that looked like swimming pools for Chihuahuas.
