To Sink or Swim? But a Happy Birthday Nonetheless...

Hi.

Things are upside down right now. My grandmother passed away this past Thanksgiving, and her memorial is a few days before Christmas. If there is one thing that I'd ask Santa Claus for - it would be to go to her memorial service in Oklahoma. However, I have jury duty, and because I've postponed it once for school; it looks dismal that I'll legally be allowed to leave the state.

It's my 21st birthday today. I have gotten up at 2am to study for a 7:30am final, hung out with one of my best friends for an hour or so, slept for four or five hours, watched tv online, and put off studying for my final tomorrow. Which, I will promptly do after this post, at least that's what I've been telling myself. The importance of everything is so backwards. All I know is that I will make it through one day at a time and take life as it comes. I just don't know anything else.

There is one more problem. I love him, but things are class 5 white water rapids at the moment. We've been pattling in opposite directions and I'm pretty sure we flipped the raft. The question is if we can get back in. He says hes holding his hand out - I just don't know if I'm close enough to the raft anymore to grab hold. Although I want to. I just don't want to drown fighting the tide.  And I'm exhausted. Sometimes you do too much to keep your head above water, believeing you can't breath under it. But maybe, just maybe, you can breathe in water.

It's sink or swim, but in the mean time, I could use a drink. Any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Sarah

  1. Hey, if it makes you feel any better, know that sometimes living one day at a time is all you can do to keep going. I know that's what I had to do for the last few weeks of school. I know it's hard, but hey, you can do it. You're strong and amazing and I know you can do anything you put your mind to. Plus, finals are over now, right? So cheer up, hang out, and have fun.
    On a side note, an amazing drink is UV Blue Raspberry mixed with Sprite and Malibu Coconut Rum. Or take out the rum and it will taste like an ocean water from Sonic. But it can still get you drunk ;)
    Enjoy your break; they're always needed. I'm always just a phone call away if ever you need anything or anyone. I love you!

  2. Oh, a few other favorites are red wine mixed with blue koolaide or fruit punch with coconut malibu. Or if you want something that will get you drunk fast, is easy to go down, and you don't have to worry about mixing proportions, stick with UV blue Raspberry. It's vodka, but it goes down just a little stronger than a blue drink. It's good stuff. And relatively cheap for a fifth. And it'll get you pretty good and drunk. If that's what you're looking for =P

    And happy late birthday!! I love you!!!

  3. Ah okay this is the last one, but if you want some fun drink that isn't too strong but is awesome, get the alcohol infused whipped cream: caramel flavor. Then mix it with Dr. Pepper. It tastes like a coke float, gives you a mild buzz, and is easy to make. And I think you'll like it =]
