friday nights.

in many ways i have grown up. not that i am excited about it, but it was necessary. i have friends that unfortunately never did and their lives are fairly sad because of that. i have certainly had more than my share of wild times and late nights & still have one on occasion, but i had to slow all that down to prepare for the future. i won't go into detail about my adventures in the younger days because there are some things a parent never needs to know about their child... but let's just say there was definitely someone from above watching out for me or i would not have survived. at least not in the good health that i now appreciate.

i go to work monday thru friday, 8 to 5. well honestly i don't get there till about 8:20... but that is a whole other blog. our bills are always paid, mostly on time. my credit has never been tarnished. we take care of the nice things that we have been blessed with. our family and friends are cherished and we try to be helpful when possible. so do i not deserve to unclench a little on friday nights?? that question is purely rhetorical because i will continue to do it with or without anyone's permission.

we have friends over, drink a bit, and yes... i still smoke. i only want a cigarette when alcohol is in my hand. that has got to be better than smoking all the time.

some people exercise, do crafty things, or play sports to relax. i simply prefer to catch a buzz with good company. consider it my hobby. so there.

here i am on an outstanding friday a few years back... you can't beat a night out with the girls.
