So, I’ve been sitting here in the middle of america, trying to give up my vices, and I end up just rotating them instead.

Is it too early for a Schlitz?  Is it ever too early for a Schlitz?  These are the kinds of deep, dark questions I’ve been asking myself.

But, I know that if I ever want a better life, I’ve got to give up at least some of my more harmful vices, like Schlitz, at least for awhile.

Instead of instant gratification, I need to think about my future, and embrace delayed gratification instead.  Building a better way of life takes time!  It does not happen in an instant.

Yet, it’s so hard to let the old Lori go.  I’ve gotten so comfortable with my discontent and blotting out reality instead of facing it.

As comfortable as it might seem sometimes, this is not the life I want.  I want something way better than this.

And I know I that with patience and resolve and by creating a new way of life, I can achieve my dreams.

I KNOW IT.  Now I just have to do it.

NOW PUT DOWN THE SCHLITZ AND GET TO WORK! YES, IT IS WAY TOO EARLY FOR A SCHLITZ.

Ok then, no Schlitz.  How about a Miller Lite?  No?

turn that shlitz into a shandy and you have a perfectly acceptable pre-noon drink, it’ll bee european and cosmopolitan even

Shandy = 2/3 beer 1/3 7 up

Julie, I drank a sixer of Lite on your behalf.

I love the beer recipe!

This is a thirsty blog.

I’m dealing with reality today. A little bit. I miss NYC.

I like that you are rotating your vices. what do you expect? anything more is reserved for the sages. do you aspire to be a sage in this lifetime?

I do not aspire to sagedom. I aspire to keep boozin’ it up!
