gin and bare it: high five 4 friday

cheers to the freakin' weekend, amiright?
except i'm still sick just enough to still be miserable and not want to leave my bed.
so i'm really going to try my hardest to not be a disgusting animal snotting all over the place when i'm at my tables this weekend at the restaurant. i can't help but think that's not appetizing while you're eating and might not garner me much in tips.

but it's time to link up with lauren to do some high-fiving.

1. in regards to self-medicating a cold with booze. i'm not sure if it actually works. per the owner of the company i work for he advised that i start taking less cold medicine and start drinking more vodka. and since i'm a good employee - i listened. but instead of drinking vodka i drank a bottle of champagne and then a bottle of wine. in one sitting. and frankly - i couldn't figure out if i was drunk, if the meds were working, or if i was legitimately getting better. and shockingly enough i wasn't even hungover the next day. color me surprised.

2. i think chips get a bad rap. i mean, don't get me wrong, they're delicious. but i'm fairly certain they go straight to my ass. so when my friend intro'd me to vegetable chips i thought i was doing my ass a favor.
but i'm sure my ass doesn't appreciate the sheer volume of bags of these chips i've consumed.

3. i bought shitler this shirt this week. ALL THREE FREE. #arresteddevelopment

4. i'm obsessed with all things real housewives. it's sick, really. but i just can't help myself. they're just all so wrapped up in the most mundane of things but the fact that they have millions of dollars makes said mundane things not so mundane. i haven't read any other book penned by any of the housewives mainly because - c'mon, it's a book "written" by one of the real housewives. but when brandi came out with a book i couldn't help but jump on the brandi train.
and like literally i would jump her.
in like a sexual way.
it's only mildly embarassing to admit that her book arrived wednesday, i started it thursday, and cashed it in a matter of hours. it's definitely not one of the great literary pieces of our time but i loved it. she's honest and in your face. and if you didn't hate eddie for what he did to her before you certainly will after you read the book.
and considering she's a single mom who is constantly getting sued because of her big mouth and in need of lawyers i just told myself that i was helping her pay her legal fees by buying her book.

also - if you're in the market for a review of the my book my girl samm has one.

5. and lastly. i know that most girls have a shopping problem. shoes, clothes, and other shit they actually don't need. well, so do i. except my problem comes in the form of books. because i can't help buying heaps of books.
and amazon doesn't help when they will give you free shipping on orders of $25 or more so then you actually end up buying $40 worth of books that you don't need. such was my problem when i ordered brandi's book (please see #4 above). because i ended up ordering three other books. and then when they arrived and i went to put them on my book shelf i realized i had heaps of books that i had just ordered within the last couple months sitting on the bookshelf unread. ugh. i have a lot of work to do.
