Why do I drink at night?

Today started out crappy. I left my keys in my husband's car and he took off to go to work and I was stuck at home and had to call around to find a ride. Isn't that something you do when your 22, not 29? Anyways, I managed to get it together and get to my job. After dealing with high maintenance people all day long, all I could think about was a glass of wine. Does that make me an alcoholic? Who knows? I wonder if drinking is really aging me beyond where I should be.

I looked at my face really close in the mirror and I could really tell the lines were starting to show. I know so much of it was all the time in the sun in my youth, but what price am I paying for skirting though life without fullfilling my passion? How do you find it and capture it. AND, what if your passion isn't in tune with the ones you love? Does that mean you married the wrong person?

So, for tonight it isn't wine. I'm drinking a Miller Lite and listening to Beck. Something has to change if I am going to transform myself by next June.

Getting past Diet Dr. Pepper and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have only 11 months left until I turn 30, and I want to use this as an outlet to document what happens to me over the next several months before my birthday.

So, to begin...

Today was another uneventful day at work. I was able to take care of a lot of paperwork that my boss would normally handle, however since she is on vacation I get the extra work load.

Now onto my diet... This was another bad eating day. I found a large bag of Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and proceeded to microwave them for a few seconds so that they were a little warm and mushy and then devoured about 4 of them. I washed this down with a Diet Dr. Pepper. Fantastic combination I must say. This has ruined any chance of me eating a normal dinner. I must change this habit before I turn 30!
