True to my word, I’m kicking off my inaugural Champagne Thursday today. I think I deserve a cocktail or four. Technically it’s not champagne its “Spumante” but it’s got bubbles and that’s good enough for me.
What? I saw someone raise their hand about the coloring book? So I have a friend who is a counselor (not Terri, she’s my therapist) and we had dinner last week and she said she had a gift for me. She presented me with this adult coloring book called Calm The Fuck Down, she said when she saw it she knew instantly it was for me. Hmmm makes me wonder? I had told her about my coworker road trip and all of it’s anxiety driven misadventures and she bought me this, along with the set of color pencils. I’ve already started on this and it’s right up my alley, also because she’s a counselor and all she said coloring is a form of therapy to help ease anxiety and stress. I must say it works, but the champagne helps too.
Do I look happy? Because I feel happy……or maybe it’s the champagne buzz. And for all of those wondering, no, I’m not celebrating Champagne Thursday at work…….OR AM I???
Until next time remember, chin up, solider on and watch your back!

Drinking and coloring! Thankfully, it’s not a crime to color outside the lines….

Know what else is…relaxing? Drunk dialing…but I guess those days are over now that everyone can *69 your ass; which makes it sound like telephone sex, even though…well, now that I think about it–ya never know…it could turn out that way, especially if you start reading from your coloring book! LOL. So yeah, woohoo! Champagne cheers! Mona

Haha, I think that drunk dialing can still be done, but you have to make sure to block your cell number. And since we’d be drunk that part might be forgotten, lol. 😂

Huntress,
Exactly! That’s what I was thinking! So what’s your favorite page on your coloring book? When you finish it, you should post it so we can see it! Mona

Drunk coloring…this is exactly what the world needed. Also Champagne Thursday because, really, who doesn’t need a taste of the weekend by that point? You definitely look like you’re feeling better–although that’s from last night so I hope you’re not hung over this morning.

Nope, no hangover, probs because I restricted myself to one bottle instead of three, lol. But thank you for the concern over my drunk coloring, it was more buzzed coloring 🤣😎

Aww thank you Deb, it really is therapeutic, you start to color and all you do is concentrate on the picture and colors. Before you know it, you’ve forgotten about any anxiety and/or stress. I’m taking this to work with me and leaving it out on my desk to see who has the nerve to ask me about it, lol.

Your champagne coloring is akin to my beer Maddening. Throwing tight spirals 35 yards downfield into the arms of a rookie receiver for the go ahead score with :47 seconds left is calming, especially when coupled with an ice cold mug and Bowie. Tell the counselor I’m doing well!

I was relaxed and happy, and coloring does make one feel better. I totes understand that’s all I did was try to catch up when I was away on my work trip. Hell I’m still trying to catch up.
