I'm not good with titles.

Apparently I have the alcohol tolerance of a five-year-old. Two nights ago (Wednesday), I hung out with Tiffany from Bar Louie. We were supposed to just go for a drink, but the one drink turned into one (or two) too many. The fact that I hadn't eaten anything all day may have factored into it.

All I know is, come 10:30 (I know - early!) and I was sick to my stomach in the bathroom. I have very vivid memories of Tiffany's shoes and jeans. I couldn't focus on anything that was higher than that. I felt like an idiot because I wasn't even trying to drink. The problem is that I love wine, and I kept drinking it without thinking about the alcohol content. And when I mentally cut myself off, someone else brought another glass to me. Which was nice, but unfortunately a bad idea.

"The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken." —Homer

Earlier that day I was trying to get a job. I don't know what I'm going to do this summer! Ted's would take me back, but I wouldn't be able to make much there. They told me I wouldn't get the prime, money-making shifts, and Jenni told me she made a total of $40 in tips this week. Not enough! I stopped in at Bar Louie, and Randy said he'd call me by Wednesday to see if there's any room for me to join them there.

I think Bar Louie would be fun. It would be different for me! I know it's a little more about appearances, flirting, and drunks, but I think I would enjoy that more than the stiff, formal buttoned-up-to-the-collar Ted's experience. And if I ever have to close on a Friday or Saturday, sure I would have to stay there late (3am?), but I'd make between $200 and $300, according to Tiffany. Besides, I need to get myself out of granny-mode while I'm still young enough.

I've seen a lot of the girls (my nieces) lately. That's really great and all, but they've passed their colds to me. I woke up feeling terrible today and now am trying to fight it with Airborne and Zicam. I hope these things really do work.
