Wine and Chocolate Milk

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.

Lovey
