My fellow readers and useful enthusiasts, every once in a blue moon, you find a cause, a potential quest that if successful, could really be a personal game changer. Today, I think I’ve stumbled on to mine. Okay, if I’m honest and not totally shitting you, I stumble on to a new quest weekly. It’s not that I’m a flake exactly, I just get obsessive about random things I just need to know or experience depending on what I’m currently experiencing.
I have recently been trying to be healthier. Wedded bliss has opened my world up to new experiences and apparently my mouth to anything I’ll shove in it. Much like the honeymoon, my reckless abandonment of healthy eating had to come to an end at some point and as the summer months move in and I don’t want to buy new shorts, it’s now or never.
Now, to achieve this goal, there is much I will need to abstain from, many habits I will need to change, but there is one non-negotiable, I am not going completely dry. Life is too short to happy hour, so I must find a drink or repertoire of drinks that are more diet friendly than my normal choices. I started this journey this evening. I tried a club soda with vodka and lime (watery vodka) and a very dirty martini (olives = yummy, martini felt like it needed salt). The bottom line is straight vodka isn’t going to do it. Lucky me and lucky you, there are tons of other alternatives and for the benefit of my dear reader, I shall try every concoction I can come up with until I find a few staples for all us gals and pals that are unwilling to sacrifice happy hour. Wish me luck friend, wish me luck.
