    Hi lushes! Boring here..moderating and maintaining. My Christmas shopping is done and the son's bedroom is all ready for his permanent (during grad school anyway) return this weekend. I'm planning on just enjoying the next few weeks...get in some exercise and hopefully wrap up my physical therapy on the shoulder.

    Hi all, It was a pretty good weekend. I made my eggnog from scratch recipe this weekend. It is so smooth and easy. Tastes nothing like store bought. I was good I only had two glasses.

    Hang in there all.
    Gary, I hope your head is okay.

    Robin- Head is fine. Haven't heard anything yet- no news is good news.
    Syd- So neat about your son. Do I read you right, he will be living at home during grad school?
    Finally got a full workout in, the first since my hospital stay six weeks ago. Feeling the burn.

    Yes, you're reading that right, Gary. At least initially. His student loan balance is already high enough so however he can save $$ he is doing so. Graduating 6 months early is a good start. Grad school will not be cheap.

    I have no wine at the house, so that should keep me dry until at least Thursday :wink:

    I had wine again. I don't see that changing this week...just need to keep moderating. 1-2 glasses a night

    Still consistently drinking wine :# Not seeing an end to that in the near future!

    Syd-Congrats to your son on getting done a semester early! That is quite an accomplishment. I don't know if you've said this before and I missed it, but what is he going to school for?

    Kate- my jealousy of you is becoming unhealthy....if I didn't have kids and all my family wasn't here I so would leave Chicago in a second, I hate winter

    HI CHLOE!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't heard from you in a while!!! How are things??? xo

    10 days of work....although the excitement is kind of turning into stress....I was asked to continue to work remotely after we move, so now I am trying to get everything squared away and scanned so I can review, if needed.
    But 28 days until I can see beautiful Hawaii again is very very very very exciting!!!!!!

    look at all those 0's!! Yeah..not happening here. :drinker:
    I did have my 1st upper body workout with weights in about 6 months! I'm pretty excited the shoulder is ready for some light weights to regain strength. I'm sore today...but in a good way.

    Thanks Chloe!! Preston's graduating with a BA in Psychology and his plan is to get his Masters in Social Work and become licensed to open his own practice. He's worked with both at risk youth and the elderly so he still has some time to figure out where he wants to specialize...but I'm thinking probably kids. He has amazing patience. He did not get that from me. :D

    Hey all! I'm back! Long 2 days of work out of town, but met a lot of people and had a little fun.
    Monday - 2 wines at dinner, 2 beers and a cocktail after at BW3. I would have not drank, but the others were, so of course I'm drinking on the company dime!
    Tuesday - glass of wine on the flight home
    Wednesday - 3 wines are my Christmas party and then ??? wines at one of my husband's clients' parties. They are developers and their house was ridiculous. They had a bourbon cellar with no less than 200 bottles of bourbon.
    Thursday will be a 0.
    Friday we have Eric's work party so I'll most likely drink too much as usual. Saturday we have a kid birthday party early evening and hopefully will do nothing after. I need some down time.
