    I suck at 0's.

    Monday - 3
    Tuesday - made a mango vodka with raspberry seltzer but didn't finish it
    Wednesday - 2 dirty martinis, about 2 glasses of wine and a watermelon vodka with seltzer.

    I was actually pretty proud of myself last night. We were in the hot tub with friends from out of town for over an hour and I only had one drink. We have a friend coming over tonight and have 2 unopened bottles of wine. I suspect one or both will be drunk. I need a chill night at home with no company..... No plans this weekend and tons of yard work to do so hopefully we can drink less and sleep more.

    Ashley-we have things to do around the house too BUT that always warrants drinking :wink:

    Just lushing along. Last night was a couple of light vodka rocks with Pom juice.

    Drinking is one of the only ways yard work gets done :tongue:

    Girls night tonight which means wine and Cougar Town. I bought my friends and myself wine glasses that fit a whole bottle :tongue: It's fitting that we'll now have them for Cougar Town because one of the characters pulls out a huge glass when she's having a bad day.

    Just did X Stretch which felt amazing and now gearing up for an hour on the bike. Have to earn my wine after all.

    Red Lobster last night. I didn't eat much but I did have one Mango Berry daiquiri. I don't usually go for those kinds of drinks but it was good. I ordered a huge meal and ended up eating my salad, one cheddar bay biscuit and one bite of crab and two shrimp. I have a whole bunch of crab, two kinds of shrimp, a whole lobster tail and rice pilaf and broccoli in my fridge for dinner tonight for me and Doug. I just don't seem to have an appetite any more. TGIF. We are supposed to have an awesome weather weekend so I should get some yard work done this weekend.

    Monday - 3
    Tuesday - almost 1
    Wednesday - 5
    Thursday - a blood orange Mike's Hard Lemonade, which surprisingly wasn't terrible, big glass of pinot noir with my pasta, and almost a whole Stella Cidre.

    We had a friend over for dinner. He left around 9. Eric went 2 houses down to the neighbors' for a fire and beer and I watched an episode of Parenthood with my Cidre in bed and went to sleep a little after 10. I feel like a new woman today. I still have a bottle of unoaked chard in my fridge I'll probably drink tonight. TGIF! I have almost made it through my first full week of work and survived!

    Sounds like everyone is plugging along...getting a few 0's...or not...like me!
    I survived the dentist and the husband stayed home with the construction guys which made the day more nerve wracking because all the chaos makes him uptight...which then makes me uptight. I'm glad he's going back to work today. I seem to communicate with Juan better than the husband...and not just because I speak spanish lol. Crossing my fingers that the electrical and drywall work will be done today. I think I'll take a break and start up again next month with the cabinets/painting.
    I had 3/4 of a bottle of wine last night....and slept like the dead!
    Probably something similar tonight.
    TGIF everyone :drinker:

    Good luck with your remodel Syd- I am sure it will be worth the inconvenience in the short run. I am envious of your knowledge of a second language, and being in SD you must have many opportunities to use it.

    Two zeros so far this week. I am happy with that. Next week will most likely see three.

    Have a great weekend!

    Gary, I'm half Mexican (don't let the blonde hair and blue eyes fool you) so my mom's side of the family keeps me semi-fluent (dad was born in Scotland hence my coloring)
    I definitely know all the good curse words...which I really wanted to use with Juan when he told me he needs another full day of work on Monday to get everything done. :mad:
    Good news: I got in a workout today and that felt great. I'm thinking vodka later. :drinker:

    Friday - 3 glasses of wine, 2 cocktails
    Saturday - 2 Corona Lites, 2 glasses wine
    Sunday - 3 glasses of wine, 1 cider

    I was consistent. I prefer to drink like this. I day drank Saturday and Sunday too which usually gets me into trouble. But I am finding I pace myself a little better and then I don't get hungover. So I drank everyday last week, but never had more than 5 drinks and never got schmamered. Weekend was too short as usual..... We've got lots to do this week and weekend to get ready for our Derby party next weekend!

    Friday-3 manhattans
    Saturday-2 1/2 beers and about 1/2 bottle of tropical punch vodka
    Sunday-1 1/2 beers, 4 vodka cocktails and a small glass of wine
    We got so much accomplished between the outdoor sheds and the kitchen cabinets....feels sooooo good to get rid of stuff...now I need to post everything on craigslist, fun fun!!!!

    you are working hard katie!
    I had a housekeeper come in on Saturday and clean all the dust from the drywall work. I just couldn't stand it anymore. Well worth the $$ and it allowed me to relax the rest of the weekend.
    Ashley, your weekend looks about like mine. I had 2 vodkas and 2 glasses of wine both days spread out over several hours. Woke up feeling fine and had amazing workouts both days.
    Juan is scheduled to finish up today. I'm taking bets on what time he shows up. He's scheduled for 9am.

    he just showed up: 10:33am :grumble:

    Ack, my back was in pain for almost two weeks and I tried not to anything to make it worse, so no workouts and then got news that my other cat is diabetic (the first one being hyperglycemic), so hard when pets get old!
    I have been drinking a lot of box wine while I binge watch a variety of programming good and bad-got through the latest house of cards, and unbreakable kimmie schmidt (very funny, recommend!) and my guilty pleasures including Younger, and Married at First Sight.
    Friday=5 beers and a glass of wine
    Saturday=4 beers
    Sunday=1 bloody mary and 1glass of wine

    tonight, I don't know. I could try for a 0. The scale keeps creeping up and I don't think I have been splurging all that much, but I have on some pants I haven't worn for awhile and they are too tight, so I need to log some lower calorie days...

    Syd, I hear you...sometimes wine helps annoying situations...HELL wine helps all situations. Hope the work is all done and you can resume normal kitchen activity :bigsmile:

    Sorry about your back Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Monday-1 beer. It was my grandmother's birthday, so we drank the Mango Hibiscus Saison we made in her honor!
    Tuesday-0

    I had a little glass of wine and a big dirty martini last. Eric was sick in bed so I had drinks while I watched a couple of my guilty pleasures: Intervention and Catfish. Although after I had the martini I thought, "I really didn't need that". The glass was the end of the bottle, so it didn't stand a chance. Maybe a 0 tonight. I could stand to have some.

    Lushy sunny weekend. I got some yard work done and consumed a lot. Last night was another MindBender night and today I cannot stop yawning. I think it will be wine tonight.

    I had one cider last night. Thought about another drink, but I ate lasagna and then went to my neighbor's and had 2 carnitas tacos so figured I had no chance of catching any sort of buzz considering the food I ate. :blush:

    Wait for it folks. ...the kitchen (phase 1) is complete!! It looks good. Next is the cabinets but I'm waiting until after my birthday getaway to do that.
    0 for me last night. I was so exhausted. Probably wine tonight if I get in a decent workout

    Need to pick up white wine and since husband won't be home at normal time there will definitely be wine.
