Cherry coke: I miss you already.

By Katie

Upside: I found out how to break the cycle of 6,251 games of ShapeShifter.
Downside: I was distracted only because the backside of my arm was burnter (is so a word) than I thought and it was peeling.

Upside: I spent Friday night out at happy hour with the girls, and Sunday afternoon at Crisanna’s pool.
Downside: There was no dry run on the packing or pedicure or returnage of the unfortunate shirt mistakenly purchased from Old Navy.

Upside: I evened out my tan hahaha burn lines from Memorial Day whilst drinking floating in Crisanna’s pool.
Downside: Dude. An hour and a half and my arms and legs are burnt. On one side. God, I’m a sexy beast.

Upside: We had steak for dinner because the grocery store had petite sirloins buy 1, get 2 free. (I know!!)
Downside: Even with all the free meat, that’s still $29 I wasn’t planning on spending.

Upside: I drank cherry coke with vodka until I just didn’t care about anything this weekend.
Downside: Wait, there was a downside to that one?

Upside: I packed all of the activities I had planned for the girls during the plane ride.
Downside: I didn’t do a dry run of the clothes, etc, so I don’t know whether to panic. Then again, I don’t know whether to panic.

Upside: I called my OB (I don’t have a general practice doctor and I see the OB frequently) to see if he would call in three Xanax for the upcoming plane ride. (I don’t do well on plane rides.) He called in a full prescrip instead of the three pills I asked for. After laughing at me.
Downside: I had a mind-blowingly terrifying dream last night about plane rides and vacation. Two weeks to go and the anxiety has already set in. The Air France tragedy is not helping.

Upside: My root-canalled tooth was miraculously better on Saturday morning when I woke up. On Friday night, it still hurt enough for me to contemplate pulling it out with a pair of pliers. Got drunk, popped a vicodin, and Saturday morning – poof! – the pain was 90% gone.
Downside: The 10% pain is still lurking and I have to let the dentist mess with it again on Thursday to finish the procedure.
Upside: It will be my regular dentist who hooks me up to the happy gas before I’m even through the door.

    Wish I had been there drinking Cherry Coke and Vodka. Instead, I doing laundry (lost count of the number of loads), cleaning the house and trying to get ready for vacation. I don’t have time to do a dry run of packing – I leave tomorrow night. I think I should be panicking now, but I don’t have time.

    Glad your tooth is better; hope your burn isn’t too bad; forget the Air France thing – you’re night flying over the ocean; how do I get your doc that will call in a script like that. . .

    Cherry coke with vodka sounds disgusting. I’d need at least three glasses of gin and diet coke before I could drink that s%*^.

    “Any time I need to see your face/ I just close my eyes and I am taken/
    to a place where the crystal mind and/ magenta feeling taken shelter in the base/ of my spine sweet like a *chica cherry cola*…”
