Now comes the worst part of the new year, when you have to sober up to go back to work. | Fetch My Flying Monkeys
Everyone needs a fleet of flying monkeys to rip the stuffing out of the annoying people in their lives
— Laura

I think I’m officially a diabetic now. We’re talking full-fledged going blind, amputated legs diabetic. I don’t care what the doctors keep telling me. New Year’s Eve I drank a bottle of wine and by nine o’clock I passed the fuck out. So I missed the hoopla at midnight, instead waking at 3 in the morning with some infomercial playing on the television about some spectacular state-of-the-art bra that hides your back fat. It took me twenty minutes to find my credit card and by the time I did, that infomercial was over and one selling a panini grill was playing. I should get it Thursday.

I’ve spent my New Year’s holiday weekend alone. J’s been sick and Richelle’s out of town and the rest of my friends won’t take my calls. I think it has something to do with drunk-dialing them too often, I’m not sure. It doesn’t matter because according to the Mayans, or the Apaches, or who-the-hell-ever, the world ends this year. I wish I knew for certain if this were true. I’d stop worrying about my back fat showing and just eat paninis every day. Which I plan on doing anyway, so really, I’d do nothing different except maybe cook them naked. Again, I don’t know what the fuck I’m saying. I think I’m still drunk or maybe it’s the diabetes talking.

    Sober up to go back to work? Seriously? Face that shit sober? Are you kidding me???

    OK, I’m ready for the world to end now.

  2. wpdunn71901 says:

    naked panini is super hawt

  3. Yabu says:

    I usually move the clock forward so I can say I made it to midnight. This year I actually made it, and you didn’t miss shit.

  4. Jennifer says:

    LOL! Don’t ya just hate going back to work sober? lol

  5. Heather says:

    I want a panini!!

  6. Holly says:

    PANINI GRILL – hell’s yeah! D won’t let me have one as we’d only ever eat panini’s and he said we can just use the normal grill to make them anyway. But that is SO not the point.

  7. Princess says:

    This year is Lotto year… When I win we will all go to Aruba’ for breakfast! I cant wait…. (fantasy’s like this keep me going thru the year) MMmmmmmmm, Mimosas….

  8. Tink says:

    I cant leave the house this morning! IT’S FUCKING 18′ OUT THERE ARE YOU CRAZY? WORK? NO! BED? YES!. See you in the spring…

  9. Omni says:

    I hate this time of year in the office. You wear a sweater to work cuz it’s cold and the lizard people have the heat turned up to 110″ and they find you shriveled up from dehydration at you desk. I hate Lizard people..

  10. Jess says:

    At one time, I’d feel disappointed if I missed Dick Clark when they dropped the ball in Times Square. The last time I watched, I realized I didn’t want to watch that any longer. I’d rather sleep through the event in a drunken stupor.

    • Laura says:

      That was back when it was a bit classier. Now it is nothing like it was. The panini press show was more entertaining based on last year’s New Year’s show.

  11. LeeAnn says:

    I bet if I could get my boobs into the panini maker, I wouldn’t need the magic bra.

  12. I was at a neighbor’s party and was forced to watch Ryan Seacrest as well as Jenny McCarthy who kissed a cop at midnight.

    I would’ve rather passed out. Naked. While cooking bacon.

  13. Mr. Bingley says:

    Yummmm, back fat and maybe some tasty shoe bread!

    Just the thing to sober you up real quick.

  14. I see you at least took down your Christmas decorations, so you’re way ahead of me!

  15. Jo says:

    We have to go back to work? But…but…the world is ending this year. Why do we have to go back to….oh, yeah, it’s not until December….never mind.

  16. QueenBee says:

    Naked panini making and lots of wine drinking are on my list of resolutions for this year!

  17. Fluffy says:

    Diabetes doesn’t make you more sensitive to alcohol. Thank goodness!!! You probably just haven’t slept enough. Drinking while very tires will make you pass the f out!

  18. Fluffy says:

    *tired (I guess I’m still tired, too!) :)

  19. ManhattanMaven says:

    You really ARE just the most brilliant way to start the New Year…THANKS for that…LOL! Even on my suckiest days you make me laugh out loud and there’s a lot to be said for that!

  20. SB Smith says:

    One of my impulse buys recently was a George Forman waffle thingy. I haven’t used it yet, though. George is so cool.
    Our county had a burn ban for a year and a half and it was finally lifted for New Year’s here, so as soon as the sun set, we heard fireworks all around us…couldn’t see them all, but then we set off our own “artillery rounds” as they’re called. We’re rural and have been waiting and waiting for the burn ban to be lifted. That was fun.
    The big question is will anyone’s boss even notice thru their own alcohol haze if any employees are sober ?….Heh heh

  21. SB Smith says:

    Is Jack Ok ?
    Did I miss something ?
    Haven’t seen pics of him lately.
    I’m sorry if I’m unaware of anything that’s happened.

  22. Sherri says:

    Even though you are drunk and have diabetes you still managed to blog. You are AWESOME!!

    I heard abouth the world ending this year but I have my doubts. They didn’t even predict their own ending so how could they acurately predict the end of the world?!

    They say it’s going to happen on Dec 21st. People claim that that’s the first day of winter. I live in MN and I know for a fact that’s NOT the first day of winter. (screw that whole solstice thingy) Sometimes winter shows up in October and sometimes (like 2011) not until January (which is technically 2012 but let’s not get fussy)

    Anyway where was I?…Oh yeah, keep blogging no matter what happens.

    Also, I want a panini…and where do I find a bra that hides back fat???

    • Laura says:

      Thanks. The world is “ending” just about every year, depending on which nut has the microphone.

      Here in SC “winter” shows up for about a week in late January, then we go back to 105 and 100% humidity.

      It might not actually exist. I’ll let you know if a panini press shows up. If it does, then we’ll know I wasnt hallucinating.

  23. The bra doesn’t work for me but I am willing to trade it to you for a couple of paninis.

  24. Liz says:

    Sober? I was supposed to come to work sober? Whoops!!

    Good luck with that panini thingy. I hear they can be dangerous if you drink too much gin. Not that I think you drink too much. Just saying.

  25. Yeah, Laura. This back to work shit bites yak balls. I say Yak balls because winter finally arrived it was 60 here about four days ago. Now it’s 20-something and there’s snow. I blame work!

    And as for the Toltecs or Atlantians being right about the end of the world, look on the bright side–you can drunk order every fucking gizmo on HSN and fuck paying the credit card company.
    Serves those sonsabitches right.

  26. One Crazed Chick says:

    Hey, tell J there’s a lost goat over here by me and I’d love to drop it off at his house. I’m sure it’s your missing goat!!

  27. Nicole says:

    Gurl, aim for losing a foot to diabetes. Then you get good parking.

  28. sunny says:

    Not related to your post at all, but goat video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utE2W_EoB2M

  29. Mayor Gia says:

    Ugh, I had to work Monday and it suuuucked. But there were lots of cookies around, so I am probably well on my way to diabetesville as well.

  30. Is there a way to subscribe to your blog by email?

  31. OH MY GOD. ME TOO. Hubby and I went to dinner and I drank a bottle of wine and then I passed out at 9:00. He watched Walk the Line.

  32. Shannon says:

    Damn I love my panini grill.
