Having a Malt-Beverage

I am having a Smirnoff Ice. It's been a while.
When I was about 13 or so, this Malt-Beverage called Zima came out on the market. Anyways, my Daddy bought me some, he didn't think they were alcoholic. Zima actually contained a higher alcohol content than most regular beer, lol.
" Originally popular among young women, Coors made its first attempt at attracting young men to the brand in 1995 by marketing Zima Gold; the drink was unpopular and disappeared from store shelves within the year.

Competitors to Zima in the US have been largely unsuccessful. Miller's Qube and Stroh's Clash are no longer made today. In 2000, Smirnoff launched Smirnoff Ice, which today outsells Zima.

Today, the beverage is marketed as ZIMA and is available in three flavors:

* ZIMA Citrus
* ZIMA Tangerine
* ZIMA Pineapple Citrus"



I went to the DR today. She gave me some water pills to help with my swelling. She's also sending me for more lab work, getting my records from the hospitals, and will see me back in two weeks. I have yet to schedule the appointment however.
She wants to wait on some results and records before making further diagnosis and treatments plans, I suppose.
I'm really tired, but I know Johnny will wake up hungry soon and I want to get that over with before I try to lay down and relax.
My pharmacists insist I should not breastfeed while taking the medications I do. The DRs and even my son's pediatrician say the meds are okay. Why am I so uncomfortable then? And today, he threw-up on me while I was breastfeeding him. Usually before he gets sick, he gags or pulls away, but this was like spontaneous or something. I think I'm going to stop breastfeeding now. Obviously I'm not planning to do it tonight, having my Smirnoff and all.
Johnny is starting to make some noises over there. I'll get to go to bed sometime in the near future, after his feeding!
His feedings take a while because I have to use the bulb syringe to unclog his nostrils and that's time consuming.
His nose is whistling right now. Mine was earlier.
I received a large box in the mail today from my Secret Mommy in my online group. I have had a very nice time playing the Cyber Shower gift giving and receiving and my Secret Mommy has been so generous to my little man! When I did this sort of thing during my pregnancy with my daughter, we did it with our one due date buddy and it wasn't a secret. I liked it better that way. What if you're Mommy is sending you great gifts, and because you're not her Secret Mommy she's getting bad gifts from someone else? I wonder if my Secret Mommy is getting treated as nice as she's treating me? And what about the Mommy I am buying for? Does she like the gifts I chose for her? Is she being a good Mommy to the next? I wonder about those things.
My cousin came to visit tonight from South Carolina! It was really nice seeing him again, it's been about 5 years!
My dog, Wiggles went crazy barking at him and it was irritating.
When I took her out for a walk earlier in the day she pulled me down to the ground because she yanked on me so hard that my foot twisted and broke my sandal. It's ruined and unwearable now. I had to carry my shoes home, feet freezing on the sidewalk. Darn dog. She was very sorry and apologizing to me the way that puppies do, "all up in yer face".
Johnny is silent once again. I guess I'm going to have to lay down. I'm falling asleep at the table. Plus, it is obvious that he will wait until I lay down to decide to wake up.
