Hungover & Hard Up

Hangovers. My arch nemesis. The devil. My worst nightmare coming to life. I hate hangovers, but I have them… often. I’ve been known for my ridiculous hangovers. Definitely not something I’m proud of, but it is what it is. I’ve come to accept it throughout the years and know not to make plans on Sundays because odds are that my head will be in the toilet for most of the day. #embarassingbuttrue. I have dwindled those miserable days down in recent years because I simply hate how I feel when I have a hangover. Yet, it never fails that I get caught up in the fun of someone’s Birthday or some special occasion and completely forget that a hangover is the lovely gift I will wake up with one the following day.

  

This past Wednesday I went to see Eric Church at Joe’s Bar (insert ‘special occasion’) with some friends. Being that it was a Wednesday night I had no intentions of getting “sloshed” as we called it. 2 years ago that would not have been the case. Going out on week nights were our thing, and getting sloshed would have been my goal for the night, but I digress. Week nights are no longer my thing, and Thursday morning was a miserable reminder of why. Hung over and have to go to work? How? Not possible, except it happened. There it was rearing its ugly head at me, and I’m pretty sure it was laughing in my face, too. It’s Thursday and I’m hung over. Fuck me.

Now, I know my limits and when I should stop drinking before I do something ridiculous, but I can assure you that I was not even close to that point on Wednesday night. I remember everything from that night… which is always how I measure how crazy I got. It’s weird, yet true. I tend to forget, or black out if you insist, a lot of things with the drunker I get. Not a good thing, I know, but this is my life. Anyway, it was not until my miserable traffic filled hangover commute to work yesterday that I came to the hard realization that I’m getting old and can’t party like I used to. I could have cried, but I didn’t. I just have to accept that I’m not getting any younger, apparently it’s only going to take 3 or 4 drinks for a hangover to invade my life for 24 hours. #factsoflife #partylikearockstar

take it or leave it: I have a new favorite TV. show… New Girl with Zooey Deschannel. It’s on Tuesday’s on Fox. Between New Girl, Up All Night, and Modern Family I get plenty of laughs in on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. If you have never seen it I would highly recommend watching an episode. Zooey, whose name is Jess in the show, is so witty and awkward that it makes just about anything she does funny. Here’s a clip from their most recent Thanksgiving episode... New Girl
