You know, I'm not 20 years old anymore. Back in the day, it was all vodka, all the time. I was taking shots like it was nothing, without any after effect! That is not the case ten years later.
My girls and I decide for a Saturday night in the city. I go over to a friend's apartment to pre-game. My first bad decision on the evening. The vodka continues to flow. My recollection fades. There were shots involved. This is what I remember or have been able to put together...
* Random phone calls to guys I should not be contacting
* Digestion challenges (to put it nicely) while in the cab ride home
* A late night visitor that I have no recollection of summoning
* An interesting stain on my dress and bedspread (resulting from too many
cocktails) that I didn't even realize until 4:00pm the next day
Needless to say, I'm sticking to beer and wine from this point on. I was hungover for two days, made some poor decisions with an ex, AND had a huge dry cleaning bill!

Is this a set-up?
As I was leaving Miami and deciding where to live next (as if it was such a choice), my parents recommended that I move to Atlanta. I knew NO ONE in Atlanta! My parents reminded me that a friend of theirs has two sons who live there and they could "show me around." Clearly this did not entice me and time moved on.
Over the 4th of July holiday, I was sitting at the beach with family and friends and the two boys from Atlanta show up. I get the hard sell prior to their arrival. "You should talk to our son" "Do you know that you and our son have so much in common?" I even got an invite to a barbecue. "You should come, our son will be there..."
We are talking quite the fairy tale here. Two sets of Jewish parents, trying to set up their over 30 year old children - who live hundreds of miles from each other. My last relationship was the result of a set up. At first, I thought it was so cute. I mean, what a great story! I was sorely mistaken and have been cautious of efforts to be set up since.

Boot Camp
Like many New York City girls, I'm trying real hard to stay in shape this summer. I decided to try out boot camp. I went with a co-worker thinking to myself, if she can do this, so can I, right? Not so much.
I did well for the first five minutes, surprising myself that my old running skills came back. Then came the steps. We must have run at least 100 flights of steps. After the steps were done, it was push up time. Now I can do a push up (you know, like a girl, knees down), which didn't work out so well on the hard floor.
An hour later, I'm not feeling so confident or strong. I am feeling winded and worst of all, I have bruised knees! Definitely not the look to have in the summer with the short skirts and all...
