I Can't Wait to Go Back to Work

Wow…

I thought yesterday morning was bad.


I really shouldn’t have three days off in a row. It’s very hard on my body.

We whooped it up yesterday, and now I’m paying for it.

I sit here trying to type. My hands are shaking more than the California landscape.

My mouth tastes and feels like a sponge that has been soaking all night in a bowl full of Oprah Winfrey’s armpit sweat.

I am trying to keep down several cups of coffee and a bottle of ice cold water. Oh dear God, at 43 you’d think I’d know better.

Actually, I do know better, but I do so like beer, wine, cigarettes, and bacon.

That’s right, I cooked bacon last night…at least I think I did. There’s a dirty skillet in the sink and an empty bacon package in the trash.

Hell, for all I know a stranger broke in last night and cooked himself up some pork bellies. It’s possible. I wouldn’t have noticed, even when I was still awake.

I am going to see Ryno this morning. I hope he doesn’t want to play basketball. That would not be good.

If I can just get through the morning, I should be ready to party again by the time Notre Dame plays today.

Speaking of which, Evil Genius who lives close to the ND campus sent me the following picture:





It is a picture of a sheet banner that is hung on a particular dorm every Friday prior to a ND football game.

Thanks Evil; this picture is the only redeeming part of this post.

Well, the water and coffee aren’t taking the edge off, so I guess I’ll leave you now, and go fix myself a Bloody Mary.

Have a lovely Saturday all; if the Vodka and Tomato juice do their job, I will have an enjoyable Saturday as well.


Cheers!!

Can I bum your Bloody Mary olives?? Feel better kiddo

Schmoop said...

Cheesy: I'd love for ya to "burn my olives" but it has nothing to do with a Bloody Mary.

This is the first time I have had consecutive days off since the end of March, and boy, I am making the most of it evidently. Cheers!!

Liz Hill said...

MMmmmmmm Bloody Mary . You should try some 'Tomolives' in it. They are pickled green cherry tomatoes. YUM O

Hope that hair of the dog licks instead of bites;-)

Schmoop said...

TB: Thanks. It's always nice when the bitch licks.

Those tomolives sound good, but I like my Bloody Marys bland. I use Tomato juice and Vodka only. Yeah, I know, I'm boring. Cheers!!

Jeff B said...

Screw the Bloody Mary, go for a frontal lobotomy, the effects last much longer.

Schmoop said...

Jeff: Ha. You my friend, are a wise, wise, man. Cheers Jeff!!

Dana said...

I had pretty good results with the sausage McMuffin with egg. It's worth a shot if you can get past the urge to hurl while ordering it!

Schmoop said...

Dana: Ha. I am glad you muddled thru, Dana. I think I am going to be okay...In fact, I'm feeling pretty good now. Off to see the Little Man, now. Cheers!!

Jay said...

I can't do Bloody Marys cause I hate tomato juice. So, I have to just suffer when I have a hangover I guess. Or just not stop drinking.

And um .. Go Hogs! ;-)

leelee said...

Reading about your hangovers always re-enforce my decision to no longer longer imbibe...

From someone who has had some doosies years ago..

I thank you..

Hope you feel better.

PS: a TALL regular fountain coke with ice and a big ol' cheeseburger for lunch always helped me the day after..

Dianne said...

thank goodness you work a lot or you'd be dead by now!!

a giant Ginger Ale and an English Muffin got me through the wet years.

Desert Songbird said...

*muttering to myself*

"So glad I don't drink to excess anymore, so glad I don't drink to excess anymore, so glad..."

Thanks for the life tip, Matty. You're such a great teacher.

Desert Songbird said...

Oh yeah,...


GO IRISH!!!!!!!!

Knight said...

Greasy food is the ticket I tell ya. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered.

Schmoop said...

Jay: That's the best advice of all. I just got home, turned on some football, and cracked open a beer. Sooooooey-Piggggggggg. Cheers Jay!!

Leelee: I wouldn't drink at all but my friends encourage me to. Thay find me to be much less of an asshole when I have a buzz. Cheers!!

Evil: I loooooove toamto juice. Feelin' much better. Go Irish and thanks again for the picture. Cheers!!

Schmoop said...

Dianne: I don't drink pop often but I am a fan of Canada Dry. I get excited when you say, "the wet years". Cheers!!

Songbird: I suffer, so others don't have to. As for the Irish...Just a slightly better than .500 season and a bowl win of any kind would be nice. Cheers!!

Knight: Indeed. I find Taco Hell to be great food when drunk at 3 A.M. or hungover at 9 A.M.

none said...

Cooking bacon while unconcious and not get grease burns is not a small feat!

BC powder, and alternating bottled water with bloody marys seems to do the trick.

boo said...

I am one of those rare individuals that does not suffer from hangovers. Instead I get crushing guilt, indecision, and long talks with the loves of my life. I'd rather have the hangover. HA!

Schmoop said...

Hammer: The more that I think about the bacon cooking, that was pretty impressive. Cheers!!

Boo: I used to have bouts of guilt after a bender, but back in the day, I usually was guilty of something. Nowadays, not so much. Cheers!!

Cinnamon Girl said...

Matt, Matt, Matt....you need to follow my formula for an all night drinkfest. You start off with your two drinks. Before your third, you drink a pint of water and a cup of coffee. Rinse, repeat. I can drink my Scots Irish ex AND his dad under the table ;)

Tug said...

HOW YA' FEELING MATT??

oops. sorry for yelling.

no really. ;-)

Travis Cody said...

Well, the Irish ended up with the win. It wasn't pretty, but we'll have to take the W and hope they can improve.

Lex Valentine said...

Hope your hangover didn't last too long! At least your team won.

Lu' said...

I don't follow sports, but I'm glad your team won. Ya know, just for future reference, one can obstain from drinking alcohol, ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Schmoop said...

Starr: While I am sure it works, it sounds like a recipe to make me me a wide awake drunk. Cheers!!

Tug: OWWWWWWWWW. STOP. CHEERS!!

Travis: Their defense looked okay, but the play calling on offense was just strange. Cheers Trav!!

Schmoop said...

Winter: Feelin' Spiffy!! Yeah they won, but oy, they didn't look very good. Cheers!!

Lu: Ha. Your roll continues. I can't give up my nippy bottle, for it is my friend. My only friend. Cheers Lu!!

Schmoop said...

Evil: Yeah they won. But here's what I don't get. Their O-Line outweighed SDSU's D-Line by about 40 lbs. per man. Why didn't they just run it down their throat? Cheers!!

Anndi said...

I heard the perfect cure for a hangover is pickle juice... but I wouldn't know first hand since I don't ever get drunk...

Yay Irish!

Schmoop said...

Anndi: I loooove pickle juice, as well as the juice out of an olive jar. Yeah, I'm freaky. Cheers!!
