Bleu Cheese and New Years
So I came home with a McDonald's grilled chicken salad for dinner. I wanted bleu cheese on it and had some left over in the fridge. I didn't know if it was spoiled or not so I opened up the container and took a sniff. Then it dawned on me...it's bleu cheese...it always has a funky smell. So how can I tell? So then I inspected it for mold. Hmmm, again, it's bleu cheese. So I said fuck it, and sprinkled some on my salad. Anyways, randomness over.
My New Year's was absolutely fantastic. I went to spend New Year's Eve with Jason and his friends at a lakehouse and just had a great, great time. Best New Year's ever. Very enjoyable. And sans alcohol. Just thought I'd point that out. The best New Year's ever WITHOUT alcohol. I never thought that was possible.
I'm not going to go into the obligatory 2006 nostalgia review. I just thought that 2007 couldn't get here fast enough. 2006 was probably one of the worst years I've ever endured. Only a few good things came out of it, but one was so important that it will impact 2007 and hopefully the rest of my life. I quit drinking on November 28, 2006. And haven't taken a drink since. For those who are counting (me), that's 66 days of sobriety today.
There's something to be said for not drinking. But having said that, I'm not including those who do not have a drinking problem. I know there are plenty of people out there who can drink and keep it under control. And that's awesome. Drinking is fun. I won't say otherwise. It's something to do on the weekends and time to spend with friends. But when it started to dominate other parts of my life negatively, it was a problem. And I don't care about anyone else who drinks when they should stop, or vice versa. That's not my problem. We all make our own decisions and choose how we live our life. And I'm the last one in this world or the next to judge someone. So I'm just glad that I had the power to make that decision.
And I can't say that I won't ever drink again, because I don't know what tomorrow, next month, or next year will hold. But godwilling, I intend to never drink again. And that's all I can ask or promise.
And that's all she wrote. :-)
