There. I said it. I know some of you are thinking “Wow, I really liked her until she said that.” I think it tastes gross and I never could stand to drink enough to develop a taste for it. Throw in a significant allergy to brewer’s yeast and it’s just not something I cared to even spend a lot of time trying to develop a taste for. That said, I’ve recently (re)discovered the joys of Mike’s Hard Lemonade. This stuff is YUM.

Now, even on the best of days I have no tolerance for alcohol. I remember getting 2 for 1 margaritas at Chili’s as a college student and being unable to walk out of the restaurant after one and a half. Not kidding. I was mortified. Typically I limit myself to one alcoholic beverage if I’m going to drink anything and I try to eat at the same time. This cuts down on the chances of me getting a buzz or having a head change, but not always. Seriously, my tolerance is baaaaaaaaaaad.

Last night I had terrible insomnia. It’s typical for me, but it’s usually not as bad as it was last night. It was after 4AM when I finally fell asleep and I had been asleep for maybe 15 minutes when my youngest woke up and got in bed with us. Needless to say, the little bit of sleep I did get was not refreshing. I had 2 large cups of coffee (using my new Senseo…it arrived Saturday and I LOVE it!) this morning and stumbled through the day. I thought it might be a good idea to have a little of the hard lemonade to help me sleep tonight. I’ve not had more than 1/3 of the bottle and already feel like I’m about to pass out. It is 8:30PM and I still need to get my youngest down to sleep. Good grief!

I’m trying to keep myself awake via typing, but I’m either so tired (or so boring?) that I can’t keep my eyes open. There is no way I’ll manage to stay awake until he’s ready for bed.
