The awakening

“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.” ~Herm Albright
I woke up this morning not in a particularly excellent mood, but that’s what having something called a red-headed slut will do to a person. The name isn’t as disturbing as the fact that I thought it would be a super fantastic idea to drink anything with a main ingredient of Jaeger. The last time I ‘enjoyed’ – a word I use very, very loosely here – Jaeger, I ended up dry heaving at the sight of French fries. I think that wine and French fries (Pomme Frites – I’m learning!) are proof that God loves us so that I wanted to dump a plate of them down a garbage disposal, is mildly upsetting.
Anyway, I woke up and found myself full of wonder on two things 1) Whether or not there should be an age limit on the, gulp, enjoyment of Jaeger and 2) What’s with my piss poor demeanor lately? PMS can’t be an excuse for the other 24-ish days of the month.
The answers were fairly simple 1) There probably isn’t an age limit. I’m just a giant pussy who doesn’t like to feel the contents of her stomach burning. Other people are far stronger than I and can handle the taste and the smell while I’m busy trying to think of the best way to describe it other than “Smells like dying”. 2) No more piss poor attitude and petulance. Or at least no public piss poor attitude and petulance. I woke up determined to do shots of Patron only and to make the second half of my twenties a little more enjoyable than the first half. It’s like my own version of “The Secret” and here’s to hoping that it works.

I think Petron is an excellent step up from Jaeger. Red-headed sluts are only appealing in the form of my husband.
Hope you get to feeling better.

*Patron

Just be glad you didn’t stick around for the Crowne Royal. Ugh. I got home at 5:30 this morning.
SO happy you could make it down. It was great seeing you!!! I need copies of the pics.
Suzanne says:
Anything that tastes that close to Scope should NOT be a primary ingredient in a beverage you will actually swallow.
Get the back to the red wine. It’s better for you.
Suzanne says:
Oops, I haven’t even had a lovely beverage and there’s a type.
Get THEE back to the red wine!

This post is making Bossy hungover by proxy.

Jaeger….last (and only) time I drank that was at Mardi Gras many years ago. I would tell more, except that I don’t remember anything more. The stuff should be used by Homeland Security to get “terrorists” to confess.

Jaeger is evil, second only to Goldschlager.
