Teetotaling

So I am filling in for my friend Erin at work this week while she gets hitched in Iowa. Which is very exciting -- she is the friend that we went to Vegas for the pre-ception for. Nice grammar, hey?

So while she is gone, I have taken on half her workload. And it sucks -- not the workload, but the not having Erin to IM all day and make snarky comments.

So that blows.

It also means that since I have the extra work, I can't spend all day obsessing over my chart. Which is a very beautiful chart. A high-temperature chart. A "I really want to take a test but I must be a grown up and wait" chart.

Today I am 11 DPO. That means "days post ovulation." Which means I could either be getting ready to end this cycle...or that I am pregnant. Which is fun. You never know until the last second!

This weekend, we attended a wedding. It was a buffet. I do not enjoy wedding buffets and said buffet was not very good. The only thing that would have made it tolerable was alcohol. Unfortunately, I should not drink alcohol. You know, in case I am carrying the second Messiah and I don't want to get it drunk or anything. The wrath of God and all that.

So Josh got to drink. And I got to fool people.

I ordered a cranberry and 7-Up with a lime. And sure as shit, it looks JUST LIKE a cran-vodka. So I sucked down about four of those. People at the table, also drunkards, remarked that we had been drinking since 3:30 (it was about 8:30) and that we should be careful driving. Said they heard something about a road block to check for drunk drivers.

Thanks for the heads up buddy, wow, we should really try to avoid that.

I am getting good at the sneaky non-consumption of alcohol. Get a glass of wine, let it sit there for awhile. Pour it out in little bits while walking around. Order drinks that LOOK like drinks. When asked why not drinking, reply, "Oooooooo boy. I was way overserved last night. Not feeling well this morning."

It's frighteningly easy. Hopefully this weekend I will know for sure and can stop this silly nonsense and have a beer already. But you never know. Stranger things have happened...
