Monday

It had been a while.

  • Since I woke up still drunk.
  • Since I had the aching gut of too much alcohol and smoke.
  • Since I drank straight from the bottle.
  • Since I talked about the coyote people dream.
  • Since I spent a day miserable and useless because I drank myself into the ground like a child.
  • Since I had to pull myself up off the ground in the morning because I passed out outside.

It had been a longer while.

  • Since my brother and I got a fit of the little girl giggles.
  • Since I cared about people I was drinking with.
  • Since I did a front flip on a trampoline.
  • Since I laughed so hard that I snorted.
  • Since I heard the story of my sister-in-law almost falling off a cliff, drunk and hoochie momma dancing.
  • Since I appreciated my family as I should.
  • Since I felt the way I did waking up next to you.

  1. Thank you. It’s always the simplest stuff that needs the most work.

  2. It had been a while since I’ve visited here, and I sure have missed your words.

  3. You’ve been missed. Unfortunately, the words have been few and far between lately. I don’t know why.

  4. The little girl giggles are hilarious, aren’t they?

  5. They sure are. Especially since both me and my brother have such deep voices.

  6. it has been a while since you realized that you are going to LOSE in our competition.

  7. Ah, the granduer of cold pizza.

  8. MA: Eleven mile ride in thirty minutes. 200 crunches (of various types). Enough said.

    Claven: Jesus, cold pizza would have killed me. I think I was able to eat one slice of wheat bread yesterday. Then I had the salsa in the new post. Bad news.
