Contemplating Cheating Dry January

I really want a drink right now. The Hubs decided to do dry January with me, which is really great but he doesn’t want to go anywhere because of it. I miss socializing, and I still want a drink. I don’t really know why. I’m drinking my soda water with Thieves and Lemon Vitality Young Living essential oils but my craving is not going away!

I have lost 5 pounds this month, that’s nice and I don’t want to sabotage that so it keeps me from pouring vodka in my glass, the thought that dry January is helping my weight loss efforts.

In the past I have allowed myself to indulge in a drink at Seahawks games and every year I have done dry January (lasted the longer 2015 when we went to the Superbowl). This year we weren’t even in the play offs so I didn’t get that break. I’ve considered just having a day maybe one day on a weekend that I can “cheat” but I didn’t start until January 10th it’s only been a bout 10 days…do I have a problem? Oh no!

Well, pass me the sparkling water in a wine glass please a fancy pretty comfy wine glass and put on a good movie. The Hubs and I have two a days to do and sober movies to watch!

Keep focused on those goals folks … Superbowl will be here soon, two more weekends…we can do it!

Well, I got my wish. I got the late shift on Friday nights. Tonight when I got to the bar it was crazy! It was a crazy midshift. When I arrived it was crazy busy. It takes me a while to acclimate to places so as I arrived at work tonight I just felt out of sorts. I think my co-worker who happens to be my favorite doesn’t really enjoy working with me. I am a rookie and she has done this for 20+ years. I try hard and hopefully she will begin to like working with me!

So my Dr that I work for came in tonight to see me in action. I don’t know if he was more impressed with the fact that I did 4 massages today or by my boobs. I wore a nice booby shirt today! He was definitely impressed with me. He brought my favorite receptionist too!

So today I did 4 massages, had some family time, made Mac-n-Cheese, picked up the girl from dance, then went to work bartending and now, I am blogging at 2am! Yep it was that kind of day! And now I am sitting having a drink with my other boss and the Hubs. I am okay with this Friday!

It’s been a rough go lately all around! I am having a fun time and not going to spend a long time blogging so here are some favorite photos that I found today in Facebook!

It’s game day. Yes it might be preseason but it is Football!!!! Hallelujah! We are sitting at the oldest saloon in Seattle getting our pregame on! It’s just the Hubs and I for now. We got here kind of early but our normal crew will not be having season tickets this year…sadface!! So we will need to meet new Seahawks friends and make a new crew! Or just enjoy eachother!

It is stormy today should make for a fun atmosphere for the game! Can’t wait to see the NFC Championship banner unveiled and feel the energy of Bittersweet Symphony playing as they announce the players! Preseason is always kind of toned down but still a lot of fun!! Especially because many people can’t get tickets to regular season so it feels like real football!

I am so excited! Go Hawks!!

As the Girl works hard at Dance the Boy and the Hubs head to football for their second day of practices working their butts off, I too am at work at The Bar holding down the fort. It is so super slow!!! I gotta figure out how to get people here on Tuesdays!!!!!

I have a featured drink  the ‘Urbanite’ with Wildroots Vodka triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup shaken with ice. Just made this for a Bartender friend who said “nothing too sweet” so we skipped the simple syrup. She loved it!

image

There my featured drink tonight. Hoping to have a surge of people later who are good tippers and like my drink!  Or just good tippers.

So far not so good. It is a slow night but the people who have tried my drink liked it! =SUCCESS

I Need A Gimick

I am at work at the bar. It is slow. I want to figure out something for my Tuesday to get people in here. If the bar isn’t making money then I’m not making money. I have two customers right now. 

image

A ladies night, or a game night, we have been trying Cards Against Humanity but only 2 people showed up for that. I wonder if we did line dancing or just dancing… Would people come out on a Tuesday. Tuesday is kind of a lull day and night anyway! There is a reason movie theatres do $5 movies… I wonder if we could do a movie date night and offer a special when they buy drinks and dinner we buy them a $5 movie ticket or what about some sort of date night special to bring people in… We need a niche! I believe if we have a niche we can get people…
Any Bartenders or potential customers have any ideas?! 

We need a Tuesday thing….to bring in new people a new crowd who want to hang out and buy two or three Cocktails and maybe food…

Think. Think. Think.

Suggestions greatly appreciated….

I am sure there is something I can go clean or reorganize behind the bar…

When I get home I need to wake the Hubs up and fuck him after this slow night it may be the only tip I get!!

Relaxing Orgasm

So today was the first day in quite a few weeks that I really had nothing on the schedule. I did take advantage of the down time with some much needed couch time! I did get some minor chores done, had to take the Boy and the Girl to get some dance shoes and the Boy woke up with an earache so had to take him to the Doctor today too. First All-Star practice today too, that was intense and weird. Now I am with the Hubs on the way to his softball game.

So sticking with my lazy-ish day here is kind of a lazy post too. I saw this meme “What Is Your Summer Cocktail Name” mine is: Relaxing Orgasm! Couldn’t be more fitting for me right?! As a massage therapist, bartender and sex blogger … I plan to make a Relaxing Orgasm Cocktail… I think it will be Vodka based, made with some sort of lavender infused simple syrup…

Let me try this: Grape flavored Vodka, Lavender Simple Syrup, sweet and sour and sprite. Muddle with some lemons and limes shake and serve in a sugared rim glass.

I so could use this right now…guess what I’ll be making when I get home? I feel edgy and stressed for some reason. Busy week with baseball (I’m stressed about All-stars), Dance and I totally forgot the Boy is dancing and he has baseball at the same time as dress rehearsal! (Aahhh!!!!). Anyway, just got to the field time to go watch the Hubs!

How’d you like the during the run blog post?

image

There it is the Hardware I worked so hard for today. I felt good up through 8 by mile nine I was starting to hurt. After that the race loops around Settle down Seneca and up into the Alaskan Way Viaduct during mile 11 or so but going down that hill is rough! I did hurt going down that hill. I walked a lot of the 12th mile but ran (slower than a herd of turtles running through mud, but I ran!) mile 13 and the point freaking 1 to the finish!

I am so happy I did it, I almost gave up and said “Fuck it, I am not ready, it too much, we are too busy.” But I committed to do it and I did! I am proud of myself and it was not my slowest time ever (I don’t think so anyway).

I feel accomplished and proud. Shout out to Toyota cheer station at the end! They had some amazing quote posters (do you think I can remember them? Uh, no!) But it helped on that last turn up to the finish! (All the race signs were awesome keep it up marathon spectators!)

Have a great day I will enjoy this runners high for a while! Can’t wait for my next one…maybe August… I am currently sitting at the bar in Sport waiting for an amazing Ranch Bacon Fried Chicken Sandwich (don’t judge me Injust ran 13 miles!) before the Hubs and the Boy get here to pick me up! I love Seattle enjoyed the Rock and Roll Seattle #RnRSEA

I need to shout out to the Hubs for being my rock and supporting me through the race. I was texting him the whole time. When I needed encouragement he was there with encouraging words even though he was trying to tech a class! And he got up super early to drive me here and is coming back to pick me up! He rocks!

So we are preplanning our rehearsals and having I was not going to partake in the beer since I have a race on Saturday and I have been ‘dry’ all week since being at camp, however, they had Frambois beer (raspberry beer). So I rewarded myself for not killing my kids at camp with a Frambois beer.

So last night’s Birthday party was so much fun. A bunch of my peeps came out and so did a friend who shares my Birthday week. It was her actual birthday yesterday! Was so fun celebrating with her! Her and I got to take Blow Job shots from the laps of our husband’s. With the crew went to the next bar and sang karaoke and then the night faded away from me. Apparently we came back to the house and I put myself to bed. (Good choice drunk Ruby!) Regardless it was a blast!! No hangover either whoo hoo!

And then today I had to bartend. There was a pool tournament and beer pong tournament at the place I work so I was brought in for reinforcement. It was fun. Well, as fun as working inside on beautiful hot sunny day when your family is home can be. Pretty uneventful but had the first experience deciding when to cut someone off and made lots of food. I got a compliment from a customer too he said “You’re a really good bartender” made me feel good. Although I did break the ice machine lid (not my fault it has issues) and a glass today. (Totally my fault I was reorganizing the chilled glasses, I am a bit OCD that the cold ones don’t get mixed with the hot ones just coming out of the dishwasher, it slipped out of my hand.)

Anyway I am sitting here on the couch with my family enjoying some downtime on a Saturday night. Thinking it would be fun to go have some adult time with the Hubs but also enjoying just relaxing. Have a good Saturday night folks!
