Today is Saturday December Twenty Sixth Two Thousand Oh Nine. Xmas dinner turned out to be enjoyable considering it was a ninety minute drive down to Freeport to my folks friends house. No roast beef of course but I can't have everything and I am thankful that I had somewhere to go for xmas dinner as there are many people who don't. The meal was unremarkable but filling and the desert was xmas puddin'. Normally I hate any sort of english puddin' where is be be xmas or plum but I have to admit it was pretty dam tasty. I passed on the hard sauce because it was mostly booze but the puddin' its self was very good. I don't know why I like it now and a little does go a long way but I did enjoy it. After dinner we played some games which normally I hate because they would get in the way of serious drinking but I enjoyed them as well.
There were three young chiquitas there to liven up the evening for me but none of them were worth stalking. Not that they were not cute for the most part but I guess I don't cast a lecherous eye towards women in their late teens and twenties anymore. Maybe it would have been different if we were at the beach or something but I just wasn't interested. Not that any of them were either but it was fun to watch them talk about sororities and college like it meant something more to them than getting wasted and laid. One of them did have the most annoying voice of any woman I have every heard on the planet and my heart goes out to the dude that ends up marrying her. Perhaps he will have an annoying voice as well and they will be like two plums in a xmas puddin'.
I enjoy my time up in Maine because I can pretty much do what I want to even if it includes shutting the door to the guest room and typing this blog. I went to the noon time AA meeting, Brown Bag which I attended when I was up here during Thanksgiving. They are a cool bunch of drunks with awesome accents and like most people in the program they are very caring. Last time I went there were a few folks that had relapsed and they told their stories but this time everyone seemed a little more focused at being present and enjoying the day. Thats a big part of sobriety for me it being present and enjoying the life that I lead. For so many years I just checked out and got wasted all day and then napped and then woke up and got wasted again. I feel like I not only got wasted everyday but I wasted everyday for many years. Its sweet to be able to exist thru the day without having the physical and emotional need to get drunk. That makes me happy.
Mumsie keeps pestering me about setting up her Wii system so I am going to go deal with that. I am hoping that it doesn't involve more than plugging in a few RCA cables and making sure the idiot box is set to the correct input. After that I am going to let her deal with setting up the system because she is afraid of all technology and she needs to get over it. So I am off, this is a short blog entry because there isn't a whole lot that I am thinking about at the moment and I don't feel like dredging up old war stories with the shame and resentments that come along with them. Oh, I went to Maine Sport and bought a Patagonia belt, a Mountain Hardware wind stopper hat, and some sweet North Face pants and the combo makes me feel like a walking ad for REI or something. I am glad I got another belt however, I only have one at the moment. See hoe exciting my life is ?
