I think I might need to stop drinking beer
Earlier today a button fell off of my shirt and then a little while ago my pants button popped.

To top all of that off, I sliced my finger on a broken part of the button. It was my mousin' finger too. So now my pants are falling off, my belly is showing and my finger is out of commission and I'm still at work. All because of the demon called beer.

4. Have you stuck your hand onto the side of a grill recently?
If not, I'd say you're ok. :D ;)

6. I stopped drinking wine
and instead now drink vodka. I've never looked back :) Sorry about your finger. And your shirt. And your pants.

8. I flip-flop between the two.
I'd say red wine is my preferred, but when I'm out on the town, I go towards vodka and cranberry. It's just easier because too many of the bars that I end up in have a terrible or non-existent red wine selection.

Mmmmm....I'm having red wine tonight with a hearty turkey chili. Yummy.

16. MMmm, that sounds good.
Red wine was my drink too. I think drinking a glass is like having a small meal. Oh, and chili is one of my favorite dinners. I envy you.

Let us hear no more of this 'giving up beer' nonsense.

12. I do have those kind that have stretchy things
I wear them to work. Today I wasn't wearing them. And yeah, you're right... I just lost my mind for a few minutes. The beer stays.

11. Try doing 45 min of cardio a day, every day
That allows me my indulgence of weekly pizza and ale (two of the greatest inventions EVER)
