There is a lot to be said for going out and having a good time. Mike and I had an awesome time at Alexie's book tour event. Tonight, though, I am enjoying the tranquility of my home - the cats are sleeping, Jeremy is away at training, the TV is off, and I have completed all of my grading and such for a couple of days. I am sipping mocha with Buttershots.
Everything feels right with the world - I haven't been able to say that in quite some time. I am just concerned because I was only able to achieve this feeling with a little bit of alcohol. I guess that goes back to the comment James responded to a long time ago - that the notion of improving oneself with the aid of alcohol is somewhat different from the norm. Or something like that. I am too lazy to check. Your words did resonate and I've pondered them many times since then, James.
I am now considering making a chocolate mousse cake - the real deal, not the store-bought crap that is fluffy. I will be making one (or two) in December for Christmas - I believe it is now expected when I arrive at Jeremy's relatives' holiday gathering. It was a hit last year, to say the least. I just don't think I should make one now. That stuff is about 400 calories per tiny slice. Perhaps I will just stick to my butterscotch schnapps and cuddle with my cats.

Alcohol sounds great, tonight. The air is biting, and I'm feeling weathered.
Chivas on the rocks, perhaps.
I went out on Tuesday, had 2 perfectly poured black and Tans at Cowley's.
Last night I hung out with friends I have no seen in a while. A couple Bell's Best Brown Ale's and a few very heavy margarita's made for a good night of catching up. (BTW, if anybody needs any adult novelties... ehemmmm... I have a friend who can help.) ;)
I am up for some Black and Tan's tonight, to bad I am stuck at work.
I totally forgot about that post I made. I will have to look it up as well, I think I posted it directly to my Blog as well. I take it as a compliment that you remember it so well.
I would go look it up, and comment some more relating to your post, but my job requires my attention now.
Perhaps later.
