i'm going to need more of an explanation than that.

I wonder... how many of my best blogs start with "Man I shouldn't have drank so much last night."? Actually I don't want to know. But, I have successfully toned down my drinking over the last few months, which is good because for a while there, it was a little excessive.

It wasn't so much that I was making an ass of myself, but I was ALWAYS DRINKING. 9 times out of 10 I handle my being drunk pretty well, whether it's just knowing when to go to bed or when to catch a cab home. But, when your friends notice enough to say "Wow, you've kind of been drinking a lot lately." it makes you think (especially when some of them are the ones who drank you under the table a week earlier). No matter how well I handle myself, that doesn't mean it's a great idea to always be drinking. I know this is common knowledge, but this is the first time in my life that anyone has worried about me in that regard. Yikes.

Needless to say, I drank a little too much last night. Evenings like that always have me waking up with questions, which I hate because there is rarely an answer for the strange questions I have in the morning. Case in point:

1. Why am I totally awake at 7 am (when I was definitely up past 3am)?
2. Why did I wake up hugging my jeans and the Lord of the Rings trilogy?
3. Why did I roll over and find eleven cents and my house key, arranged neatly, right next to me?
(in my defense - the eleven cents came from my own pocket, not as some form of payment. cause you were totally thinking that.)
4. Why did I pull out a dozen eggs and leave them on the counter?
5. Why did I turn my phone off (probably the least important question, but still)?

I DON'T KNOW. If you have any ideas I am all ears. Also, if it helps the mystery any, I was not hugging the Lord of the Rings DVDs, it was a a very old paperback set that Alli got me. You know, in case that helps.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have never been up early enough on a Saturday to watch cartoons, so I am going to take advantage of this.
