Diary of a Thirty-Something Approaching Another Birthday - Part 3

Brandie M, this is for you: I had 1 glass of red Sangria and 1 glass White Zinfindel, more than an hour a part last night and awoke at 6:25am this morning with a head pounding hangover. WTF?!

It's bad enough I've lost my tolerance (thankfully I waited until I was married to become a cheap date) but I now get hangovers off a couple of drinks?! I didn't get my first full blown hangover until I was 32 and I've had more then a few since and only a few of them, in my humble opinion, were deserved.

But my acne's acting up again so I've got that to keep me feeling youthful, lol!

I feel for you. My last hangover was so bad that it pretty much swore me off the drink (that and the swimming in my sister- and brother-in-laws pool with my clothes on!) I know all about breaking out lately too. It sucks. Bad.

P.S. -- Love the photo. I'm living on the coast vicariously through you, if you don't mind!

Thanks Lizzi! (Today I wasn't awake at 6:25am but a 2 drink hangover, it was the clod-hoppers upstairs - I'm in the market for a good loud air horn if you know of any!)

And I have no problem with your living vicariously through me! (Never thought anyone would, lol!) I used to tell my bff G that all the time when she lived in Manhattan and first moved to Chicago.

Ah, Jo. I SO feel your pain. Seriously, tho - wtf?!?! I had two beers Saturday night, and once again, felt like I couldn't get out of bed the next morning. So annoying!

And the acne thing, too. I'm having a horrible time with it. I'm really close to just pouring straight alcohol on my face because I can't take it anymore!!

Yeah, I haven't a clue. And so many women our age are having this acne problem and I don't recall my Aunt or Cousins having it - what the heck is going on?!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return. (Slideshow below - if it plays too fast, hover your cursor on it until the <- -> appear & click on them to view what you've missed).

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
