Overstatement Of the Year!

People can be assholes and self pity is the devil.

Sometimes the people who suck are the tormentors, sometimes it's the victims. One type of person I cannot stand is the person looking for pity. The victim or the one who can't accept responsibility for their failures or misgivings. We all have hard times its unfair to say I've had a harder time then the next person or my situation is slightly shittier. Fact is, hard times are hard times, with this you have two options: (with me its always two options)

1.You get over it!

Plain and simple STOP playing the pity card you pick yourself up wipe off the dust and move the heck on. Why? Because it's as simple as this, option number two sucks.

2.You let the self-pity eat at you until the situation you have put yourself in eats you alive and you end up worthless!

I did mention option two sucked. It doesnt matter what happened to you, what it all comes down to is eventually everyone else forgets about your issues (because they probably have their own) and they move on, while you sit back in the past, back where your comfortably victimizing yourself, you complain non stop, and eventually everyone's tired of hearing it, eventually your the only one left at your pity party. 

What I'm trying to say is you people (including me sometimes, i know right) need to get rid of the insequrities! Take back your life! Take responsibility for everything in you life that happens from this day forward, you are no longer a victim of your situation from now on you can only be a victim of you own self issues. 

Focus on not where you were but where you can be, take back your life. Like I said we've all been there in SHITTY situations, its time to move on. 

Anyone who wants to share there pitiful stories and how they've over come them or are trying to over come them feel free to post in the comments. I have friends who WALLOW in self-pity every single day any story of will and success is good in my books! 

HAPPY DAYS AND I LOVE YOU ALL, there may be hope for me yet ;)

"Cold, COLD BEER

...don't you ever worry! I am right here!"

This is me, missing the bandwagon altogether, I never just fell I missed the damn thing. Love this guy and this tune tho!

I just made a "Fuck This Shit" playlist on my youtube. Just my current mood.

I re-read my intro, my very first blog post for this recovery thing, I had such hope and people still say to me "remember when you were slowed down drinking?" my boyfriend says, "you were doing so well, quitting drinking, working out all the time..." Well, summer will soon be over time for changes... again.

Wish me luck. I'm definitely going to need it.

Goal:

Drink once a week, never exceeding a box of beer (12), or a dozen drinks, glasses of wine, etc.

Exceptions:

I know the word 'exceptions' may sound like 'excuses' but I really am going to try and do my best with this. The exceptions are weddings, birthdays, etc. Like big events... I find it hardest going to bars and not drinking, what the hell do people do at social gatherings without booze? ...and I don't like pop so thats out... 

I dunno!

VACATION!!!! Ontario Bound!

Hello lovely viewers! Last weekend I flew to Ontario for a wedding and for some play time with my friends. After this little note I'm going to try and use the least amount of words possible because I have a shit ton of pictures. Also, because this is my drinking blog I should state the amount of alcohol consumed within these five days is unreal. There were blackouts, drunk arguing, falling around for some of us, I lost a shirt in a taxi, i lost a cell in a taxi, I lost money. Shit got slightly insane. Enjoy!

Our Accommodations!

Three bedroom, three bath, hot tub, pool table, huge mansion looking house that I'd die for!

Thanks for having us Robert and supplying beer for our hot tub parties ;) haha!

me and todd playing volleyball.

Robert (Boz) the guy we stayed with! Thanks man!

Our chauffeur and his deathtrap (jeep wrangler)

Todd! If it wasn't for this guy our trip wouldn't have been half as good! Handsome young devil.

^see no door... death trap.

The Main Event! THE WEDDING! CONGRATS PATRICK AND RACHEL!

Thanks for the open bar! Also, big thanks for the food there was so much delicious food enough for 250 people yet there was only 50 of us! I've never seen awesome food like that awesome job!

Rach and Patrick

Other pictures of wonderland, various friends in various bars, my nails, etc.

...and last but certainly not least MOI!

Facebook status that pretty much sums up my trip...

HOPE YOU ENJOYED! Thanks for viewing.

Taking the Good times with the Bad times.

For lack of anything to say about my last weekend I've collected a dozen pictures to show partially what I've been up to! There's sooo much going on for such a small town it's unbelievable. 

First up, a gorgeous picture of my towns sunset just to set the mood ya know.. 

Also, I found a picture of me and my drinking buddies, these are the by's I drink with in the shed almost every weekend. I'll have you know they aren't tame.

Up next is my SO's grandparents 50 anniversary celebration (wine included)

mmmm.. wine.. I drank two of these suckers!

MY FAMILY! <3 literally the only picture of me from this night/day

...and last but certainty not least Albert's memorial fire. The moment everyone has been waiting for we all shed our tears and said goodbye to one of the nicest, funnest, amazing dudes ever. Everyone gathered behind his mothers house we held hands and a priest spoke on behalf of god. We told stories drank beer, lit a fire and lanterns. Close to 200 people must have been in attendance. It's never easy saying goodbye.

never forget you bud!

In other news its been a pretty tragic week, first I had to bring my baby to the hospital due to an infected splinter, then my car broke down just before I could do my road test, and the day after that my step mother, brother and two sisters got in a car accident (they're all fine, Thank the lord) Trust me if anyone needs a drink or two this week.. it's me. 

Thanks for reading loyal viewers. This blog and all my blog views really has surpassed my initial expectations and I'm so thankful.

Drink Drank DRUNK

Not surprisingly I've been forgetting to post posts, BLAH! Not actually forgetting it's summer all the "fam jam" is here, I'm busy as fuck! 

Also, not surprisingly I've been drunk 90% of the past 2 or 3 weeks... oops. 

So, this is now my failed quit drinking blog experience. The road to recovery obviously forgot about summer and all the divine opportunities to get drunk. Loving it tho.

.....and now to the point.

Last week I made a challenge to mark my beer as it were, which was fun actually. Here's my tally!

Day 1: 11 (forgot to get a picture of that one my apologies)

Day 2: 

I'm pretty sure it was more then 15 I just got too drunk to write it down. Also, there was shots I didn't mark, cause shots don't count (lol). I never ate much that day resulting in a really wasted white chick, I was even trying to argue with my boyfriend all he could do was laugh. I remember walking home i was saying "I'm mad at you, cause I don't know why, I can't say the thing why, nothings coming out right...." and a bunch more of ughh and slurrs. Raged Blackouts -my reason to quit originally.

Day 3:

I woke up so sick, throwing up, dizzy, gut rot, I have never been sicker, took gravol and tylenol (which I never take pills) when finally I gave up on feeling better I dragged my sick ass out of bed and got another beer. or eight beer as it were. Taken from bed last minute is this winner of a photo above.

To be fair I have been doing pretty shitty lately with the drinking but we've been drinking with my mans family who are only home for a couple weeks on vacation, so I feel.... excused? (lol) 

Funny story now tho, this weekend everyone kept looking at my hands to see my drink count LOL

I think I started something. :/

CHALLENGE TIME!

Beer Drinking Challenge!

Next weekend I vow to mark my hand for every beer I drink !

Like a tally of sorts. I may drink a little take er easy, or I may drink a lot I don't know yet.

That's it! Repercussions for drinking the beer? I don't know. Not even sure what my punishment per beer should be. Any suggestions comment below.

When I met you in the Summer!

My official song of the summer I've chosen SUMMER by Calvin Harris.

very fitting me tinks.

As we all know summer time can get very hectic for over planning and being super busy. I've been so slack with my blog it's because there is so much OTG. From birthdays last weekend to weddings and birthdays this weekend, then I have a boatload of family on the way home, on to anniversaries, and a plane trip taking me to another wedding. I simply can't keep up.

And! as with all these events there's the booze. I cannot count how many drinks I've had the last week, and I'd be even worst off trying to account for the week before. I've gone completely overboard. Worst part is I didn't even get any pictures to share my journey with everyone.

Actually, something interesting did happen this week, I was informed that a conversation was had about me. Apparently no one can get over how a small 100 pound, four foot eleven chick, can keep up and put down beer for beer with the bys. I'm suppose to be proud of myself.

Next summer I definitely want to under plan my summer. Just spend time with my daughter. Which I have been doing. So far this past couple weeks we've been swimming twice, I've taken up babysitting her friend we've went for long walks on the beach and I've woken up every single morning next to her in bed for a cuddle. I even let her bring her dog Whiskey back to our home for a week (he lives with her grandma). 

Its the little things you know, Family.  

Speaking of family It was my mans 24th birthday July 6th! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING! I LOVE YOU xoxox. 

He's a great father, worker, lover ;) , friend and I wouldn't trade him up for anything.

Our 5th anniversary is on the 17th of this month, lets see if he remembers (lol).

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Life as such we know can be quite full of activity, whereas my life is usually boring, this week I found plenty to do! Don't you just love summer!

Adventures!

I think it was Thursday afternoon me and my friend Ashley took the kids hiking to the lighthouse! We had a picnic and some laughs here are the photos from that adventure!!!

Aaliyah (4) and Jacob (4) aren't they sweet!

Also, in accordance to my drinking I drank alot on both saturday and sunday, even last night I shared a bottle of Gallot wine with my SO :) we had a romantic evening together!
