The
In & Out Martini
As
always insight comes to me in the latest hour of the evening.
This was a selfish evening one that I spent all by myself.
An evening where I did not want to talk to anyone because
I had to lick the salt from my wounds. I know of no better
way to help heal wounds than a very strong vodka martini
with a bit of something different. Now I am not an advocate
of drinking alone, but sometimes you just need a good
martini to make all the questions stop spinning around
in your head.
I was licking
the salt from my wounds because yet again I had believed
in a man. and again I was let down. Not to say that all
men let me down! But I seemed to be on a bit of a role
at the moment. To balance the let down, I decided to make
myself the In & Out Martini, a martini that always
picks me up and makes me feel better. It also seemed very
appropriate, because this guy was all about being In and
then Out. This martini is very simple but has a great
additional twist. With this martini you swirl a splash
of dry vermouth around a chilled martini glass, discard
the excess, and then add your Grey Goose Vodka. The garnish
is the best part: add 2 blue cheese stuffed olives and
a lemon twist. Sometimes there is nothing better than
a simple vodka martini. AAhh, it is such a pleasure
After a few
sips of my martini, I realized that one of the reasons
I felt so down was because I had believed in a man, and
now I was so confused. I was kicking myself for believing
all the stuff he told me. But is it not human nature to
want to believe what people tell us? Why do we have to
be so skeptical about everyone? Or is the skeptism a way
to protect ourselves from being let down all the time?
I had met an amazing guy, for the first time in a long
time a guy that made me go Wow! And the best part was
that we really clicked. Loved and laughed! The loving
was mind blowing and the laughing was belly aching. Then
he got a great opportunity to make some fabulous money,
but to do so he had to leave for a while, so we made plans.
Plans to meet in a few months and travel! Great, I say!
All is good for awhile, right? Wrong! Guess what I get!
The ‘sorry plans have changed’ email! That
is when my heart sank and the disappointment set in. Why
is it that guys have to make plans with a girl? I never
asked him to travel with me. That was his decision.
“Damn,
I wish I had never let him in;”
