Why Drinking is (not) an Acceptable Hobby

My first blog post. Intimidating. I really wanted to come up with something super clever ... so everyone would read this and be all like, "DAMN! That bitch is FUN-NY!" Unfortunately nothing clever comes to mind. 

Soooo ....

Blogging ....

I only read two blogs ... each written by my very dear friends Sarah and Jillian, who each have two kids, and their blogs are covered with pictures and super cute stories of their adorable children. I don't have kids. I don't particularly care for kids. They're loud and stinky. I, on the other hand, needed a hobby. And my husband informed me that apparently DRINKING doesn't count. (I know, right??) Drinking is the BEST hobby of life - what better way to do ANYTHING than with a drink in your hand?

Maybe he has a point.

Then again, he probably doesn't. Brett has some stomach issues, so now he's sober. Not like SOBER sober - like 12 steps kind of sober - but he no longer gets drunk with me. Jerk. So I figured I needed something to do in between drinking and my MANY other exciting hobbies.

Exciting Hobby Example: BROADWAY!

Tonight it's off to the FOX to see Billy Elliot with my BFFs from St. Martin's, Sara and Caitlin. I heart the theater. I mean, who DOESN'T love musicals?! Apparently quite a few people, because Sara bailed on the show at the last minute, and we had no takers on her ticket. Some people have no culture. It's a musical about a boy who just wants to dance. My culture-less husband also declined the ticket. I forgive him though. He sat through Cats, Les Mis and Jersey Boys for me. Non-Jerk.

Sara, on the other hand, I do not forgive. She's two weeks shy of squeezing out smelly pink blob baby number one, and she's too sleepy to watch kids sing on stage. Another drinking buddy bites the dust. Fail. 

PS: Just kidding.

PPS: Well, just kidding as long as I get to be the godmother.

PPPS: Crazy "aunt" who shows up for parties?

PPPPS: I just remembered they serve drinks at the FOX. 

PPPPPS: I just incorporated a non-acceptable hobby (drinking) into an acceptable hobby (musical theater). Winning.
