"My drunk ass will help you later! Put that in your drunk book Bitches."

Had a sweet time with my Girlies watching Osage County (the movie with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts).  We cooked southern food, drank whiskey, wine, port, etc. and swam in the pool.

I gotta say...that movie was fucked up, but it's kinda like life slapping you in the face. There's a scene at the end where Julia had driven away angry and she pulls the truck over and gets out.  She looks over the vast prairie and the wheels are turning in her head...and I knew exactly what that moment meant.  I've been there and lived it.

Life will pile on the shit, and you reach a point where you just don't think you can take one more thing.  Actually, that one more thing was piled on and you have to make a decision....do you give up, chuck it all and walk away, or do you figure out a way to fight. You are literally standing on the edge of a blade and it'll go either way. And that's the moment.  It separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls. You either make life your bitch, or it makes you.

I'm happy to say that so far, I've made it mine, but it's a give and take. I've had to make some hard decisions this past week, decisions on love, finance, life, and it hasn't been easy. As Van Halen would say "Dream another dream...this dream is over".  It's not my first time and it won't be my last, but transition is always hard.

In the meantime, there are many things to be thankful for, and I am.  I'm headed to Tahoe to have some fun in the sun, celebrate by bro-from-anutha-mo's 50th birthday, and just chill.  Who's with me???

P.S.  The quote for the tagline came from the husband of one of my Girlies tonight.  When he said it, I knew I had to use it.  It's fucking awesome!
