Ack! (and yes, I meant ack, not yak! ;-)) It’s 5:30 in the freaking morning on a Friday. I’m wide awake (or what would at least be considered physically awake) trying to drink a couple of glasses of water. Not because it’s a blazing 75 degrees (see, I know this thanks to weatherbug which put a nice little tempterature icon in my system tray. It’s actually a cool little app, except for all the advertising thrown all over it, but it’s great for knowing what the temperature is outside, esp for all of us people who spend more time in front of this idiot box than out side… but I digress and my parenthetical writing (defined as writing in parentheses) is getting out of control as usual… so back to the topic at hand….). It’s just wrong for the temperature to be 75 degrees at this time of the morning in Pittsburgh.

Anyhow, I’m sitting here guzzling ice-water because last night, a co-worker and I decided to go drink. And when I say drink, I mean drink. I had 2 GTs (Gin and Tonic, 2 limes), 3 LIITs (Long Island Iced Teas) and 1 Baileys across three different establishments — The Foundry Ale Works, The Church Brew Works and The Pittsburgh Deli Company (and they all have websites! how cool is that!). I think my co-worker probably had it rougher than I did since I’m up at this hour writing while he said he may not be in in the morning 😉

But being up at this hour after drinking that much it definitely took all my mental muscle to try and remember what I was going to ramble about today. I thought of three things, and by the time I got back after refreshing my glass of water, they had literally escaped and I had to think real hard and write them down lest I forget them again! And I still can’t remember what it was that I wanted to put in the quotes file from last night! So anyway…. for now, I’m just going to post the titles of what I was going to write about because I think I’m going back to bed. Will write the actual stuff sometime tomorrow!
