For the majority of my life, I have stayed away from alcohol. I've never had a beer in my life. But lately, I have found that I enjoy a glass of wine. Tonight I was out with some co-workers and it was happy hour. I drank one glass of wine and gave the other away. So unlike my Dad who had to have a six-pack every night with whiskey shots on the side. It is funny. Because of the alcoholic tendencies in my family, drinking a glass of wine is like committing some sort of sin. Now that I am Catholic, you'd think I'd be over that. Still, one is my limit. I don't want to lose control.
Anyway, I am wondering if guzzling down two glasses of chocolate milk should be considered a sin. What a nice fuzzy feeling when that chocolate gets in to my bloodstream. Such peace and I could sleep for hours. Except . . . guilt slips in. Why did I do that? I'm going to be huge. No adult woman needs two huge glasses of chocolate milk, especially after wine.
I refuse to let the milk get a hold of me. I won't be ignoring my job and friends just so that I can drink chocolate milk. I won't sneak to get that second glass of milk when no one is looking. I'm in control. One glass of wine and one glass of chocolate milk. That's my limit.

Priorities
It has been two months since I've written. Actually I went on a horrible tirade one night in February. I was so ashamed of my antics that I deleted the post.
Since my last published post, much has happened. I have a new position at work and I am spending much of my time trying to learn more about the publishing game. Not always easy for an AARP chick. The economy is making it stressful for most businesses and our company is working its way through new challenges. I imagine it might be a good idea for me to spend less time worrying and more time praying.. One of our authors, Patricia Wilson, wrote a book - Why Pray When You Can Take Pills and Worry? Its weird that I haven't really read it. I think it is time. My weight is up again and for the first time in my life - so is my blood pressure.
For the millionth time I'll list what should be most important to me: God, Family, Health, Friends. Not easy when budgets, strategies, tactics, meetings, people .... overwhelm.
Well, I'm headed for the beach next Friday night. I am going to force myself to relax. The lifestyle I'm leading is miserable.
