    Ohhhh, Kate, yes - the pretzels sound wonderful...please post. For this party, I think I will be ordering them from the bakery since I will need a huge quantity. Did I mention I found a brisket recipe that calls for Guinness beer - win, win!!

    Chole, cute baby pic with the puppy

    Amy - welcome back to the lushy thread

    I went to barre yoga today and nearly DIED...it's been a while and the new instructor is killer.

    I threw a big glass of soda water and vodka down the drain yesterday because I just wasn't feeling it. Will I be banned from the thread?

    Kim we don't judge here even if it is alcohol abuse. :laugh:

    I had two very week crystal light margaritas last night and that was it. Work was good today and I came home happy. It seems so strange that I notice when that happens now when it used to be the norm. :ohwell:

    Happy lushing all.

    I wanted to share my picture that I took when I was redneck camping with the extended family.

    You will notice the flat screen TV with a backdrop of their camper. On the left is the blow horn for when the Hawks scored next to the boxed wine. On the right side, you will notice their framed & signed Hawk artwork.

    Sweet Kim. Love it.

    Almost 1/2 bottle of sauvignon blanc last night. We went to this Nigerian place w/o liquor license, so I called ahead and confirmed we can bring our own booze. Good thing....it was the last night for a Groupon, so the place was packed and they were SLOW. It took us about 1.5 hours to get our food. I had a vodka cocktail on the way. Good thing or I'd have been irritated. So 3 for the week so far.

    HAHA Kim, I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ashley, I love groupon!!!!!

    Last night 2 manhattans. Had kind of a stressful day at work, got home and didn't feel like working out or cooking. So I didn't workout but was forced to cook. :grumble:
    Not sure about tonight, I am not counting it out though but also not planning ahead.
    Tomorrow we are going to Movie Tavern, so I might save some cals for that!!!!!

    Monday - I think 3'ish - 2 vodkas, 1 Corona
    Tuesday, 0

    I requested off work today and got it. :drinker: I found out my guy with the pancreatic cancer died over the weekend. Pancreatic cancer is MEAN. He was 46.

    I'll be doing the C25K today and I am super sore from Barre Yoga. New instructor is a tough one but I love it :heart: . My legs are starting to look super toned and I love it.

    Today, the younger boys and Ron are going to Ely, MN on a fishing trip. It's supposed to be one of the top places in the country to visit. However, not a place for this city girl. I feel sorry for the worm and the fish. :noway:

    Lush on!!

    I had vodka last night but didn't over do it.
    Maybe I'll shoot for a zero tonight for the heck of it.

    I'm booking an end of summer vacay which kind of depresses me because I love summer so much I never want it to end. :ohwell:

    I had a zero on Monday, planned on one for Tuesday but ended up hitting the vodka. Perhaps a zero tonight. :smile:

    Nice pic Kim, redneck camping is great!

    Enjoy your summer while it's here Sydney- being you are in SoCal- the other season's aren't so bad eh? Although maybe it's your son back in school that makes summer ending so depressing.

    Great weather here in the PacNW!

    Sunday - 0
    Monday - 3 shots of whiskey w/ diet ginger ale (had a root canal, needed alcohol!)
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - going with friends to something called "*****y Bingo". It's hosted by drag queens, and it supposed to be really fun. It's at a bar, so I know I'll probably have at least 1 cocktail.
    Friday - busting open my wine my friend brought me from Iowa! It's Strawberry Rhubarb wine...and SO DELICIOUS!!! Plus, I'm planning on making bierocks Friday afternoon...it'll be fun!

    Half bottle of sauv blanc last night. I'm up to 5 drinks this week. Seems I'm drinking more frequently but moderating more. That's probablly better than binge drinking anyways. The weather is great so I expect to drink probably for the rest of the week. Plus I'm off work tomorrow.

    O last night.
    Probably vodka tonight. Hopefully I will moderate and not chug after a day at the club and swimming. My swim workout makes me thirsty :drinker:

    vodka diet cherry 7-up. didn't really moderate. Very tired today. Sat down and made a plan thru September because the scale said some very nasty numbers to me this morning and I am totally done with that nonsense. So I had to start writing down a long term plan with menus and exercise specifics. That is how I lost the 35 pounds 2.5 years ago and that is how I will do it again. :angry:

    Good luck Robin! You got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So its 2:30pm and this is the first time I've had a chance to breathe at work...so I decided to check in with my lushes :heart:
    Work is crazy busy...seriously nonstop since I got in this morning AND its only 2:30 :sad:
    Last night 1 peach vodka and sprite zero and 6oz of petit syrah...Lenny was shocked I only had 2 drinks as he had a beer and a cocktail and some wine and some more wine :wink: But I ate a crap ton of food, so it equals out!!!!!!!!!!

    Tonight Movie Tavern...Len and I were going to meet at home and head over together....I'm thinking we just meet out so I can have a drink sooner...I need it today!!!!!!!!! :drinker:

    Stressful day yesterday = 2 margaritas and 3 glasses of wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So far things are pretty quiet and I am able to clean up all the things I haven't been able to get to today. Think boss is down at his boat (F#@&er) so hopefully I won't have to see his face today.

    Tonight after work we are going for a jog...the weather is just about perfect here today...84 and sunny. Tomorrow we are brewing our second batch of beer....Highland Hop Scotch Ale, which is a scotch ale...after secondary fermentation we are going to age 1/2 in apple brandy chips YUMMY :drinker: .
    This is one of the first weekends we've had in a quite a while that we don't have plans, so I am very excited...just me and my babe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile:

    I joined you last night Kate...Lushy last night for sure....girlfriend came over and we shared a bottle of wine which disappeared way to fast...then, we moved on to vodka. I think 7 just might be an accurate number. Your beer sounds awesome.

    Monday, 3
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 7
    Friday, 0
    Saturday, 0
    Sunday, ???

    I am going to try and stay at the 14 mark this week...I work 12 tomorrow and 12 on Sunday so I should be lush-free this weekend.

    Had the usual 5 each night this week. Last night (my Friday) I had Cuervo silver a friend gave me. Gawd, it was good. Too good. My head hurts a bit today. My friends are gone, left yesterday. I will miss them. This weekend should be a little more quieter
    than last week. I won't count on less alcohol .....I got to finish off the tequila tonight. LOL :wink:

    Have a good weekend all! :drinker: :drinker:

    Hanging out with mom and Gram today but I think I'll hold off on wine because the best friend texted me yesterday and said she needed a BFF day ASAP so we're grabbing dinner and drinks tonight :smile: Now it's time to get my butt in gear, eat something and then work out!

    Haaaaappppy Friday! :drinker: :bigsmile:

    I'm impressed Kat!
    I went for the vodka last night too...but after my 90 min workout yesterday and time in the sun..I was too tired to drink lol. So I actually threw my last one out (which never happens in this house)
    I went to bed early and feel good today. Another workout today and my usual shrimp taco friday with the husband tonight. Probably wine

    To be honest I am too SoCal haha. Three weeks ago I would have said I was the lushiest lush on the thread given the amount of wine consumed. I also would have scoffed at the idea of multiple 0's in a row but it's funny how the desire to really start shedding pounds kicks you in the *kitten* and gets you on top of things :smile:

    Wife is visiting her girlfriends tonight. It's just me and the dogs and so far a vodka, gin and tonic and a whiskey and soda. That way I can say I only had one drink. (of each) :drinker:

    Wine for me last night. I had a quiet night with my book. It was great.

    So this week so far:

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - 0
    Friday - 3 teeny glasses of wine with Mom and Gram, 3 tall bud lights with the best friend, 1 regular glass of wine at home.

    Best friend and I agreed we need to have BFF days instead of nights. We were already exhausted at 8:15 so when she dropped me off at home at 10:30 I was done. I can't stay out late anymore, though I already knew this haha.

    Going to lunch with husband in a bit so there will be wine and then maybe margs on the deck with my friend Eve :glasses:

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend :flowerforyou:
