    Hello lushes. Well I have been very lushy the last couple weeks but I need some 0's in my life. My sleep has been pretty disrupted, and I think it's from the booze. We had a fun weekend though. Met friends for dinner Friday, then my old college buddy/roommate for a bit and his boyfriend stayed with us that night. We drank, had a fire, played Apples to Apples and stayed up pretty late. Saturday we hung out, made breakfast, and then later (they left for the track after breakfast) the fam went to 2 festivals. Weather was perfect and drinks were yummy. I started early so went to bed early. I did yoga yesterday, food prepped, relaxed a little and then we went out and walked some trails before Eric's family birthday party. We had some ciders on the trail and wine at the party. A great fall weekend!

    Not much going on this week and I intend to keep it that way. I need to work on Halloween costumes. Daphne is going to be a fairy and already has the dress and wings, and I think I'll do Langston in Braveheart, which will be easy. Not sure about Eric and me; we have possibly 2 parties Saturday.

    Have a great week!

    I'm exhausted just reading that, Ashley!

    All is good here because the Cubs are in the World Series!! I woke up pretty hung over yesterday after a lot of celebrating Saturday. I'm going to try to moderate this week...even get some 0's.
    Sunday -0
    Monday -0

    okay so I survived the weekend. Hubby is not doing to well.

    Syd - I am glad the Cubs made it. (thanks for the compliment on the pic. Holly is very photogenic. Not me so much.)
    Ashley - Have you ever played Cards against Humanity? The adult version of Apples to Apples.
    Kate - How were the windmills?

    Talk to you all later.

    Yes on Cards Against Humanity! We actually own it, but I brought it to work for happy hour several months ago and it never made it home. We were all in agreement the AtoA is lame compared to Cards. :)

    LOVE Cards Against Humanity!!!!

    We skipped the hike because of wind advisories over the weekend....being at that elevation wasn't ideal. We shall try again next weekend!!! So we went to the beach for a bit and then talked to two of Lenny's sisters. LOTS of margaritas!!!
    Sunday, I was a bit hungover, but we got some chores done and just kind of hung around. And of course alcohol was had.....4 beers, 1 rum and coke, 2 Manhattans?!
    Moving slow today, can't wait to get home....all I want to do is grab some take out and sit on the couch........

    Welcome back Mama lush! Glad the trip went well - love the new pic!! :( to you and your hubby being sick upon your return!!
    Syd - I'm rooting for the cubs too!!
    Ashley - 100 pumpkin beers - you better get drinking! :)
    Had a headache every day for the last 4 days which cumulated into a full blown migraine yesterday...ugh! So happy to feeling a bit more normal this morning....zeros by default but there may be alcohol tonight...

    2 glasses of wine Monday
    bottle of wine Tuesday
    Hubby is home waiting for some test results. He is cranky because he is hungry but he can't really eat.

    I am sure there will be more wine tonight.

    Ugh, Robin....sick husbands are no fun. Hope he's on the mend. Mine was at the Dr's too yesterday. He comes home and tells me they have no idea what's wrong.....he either has shingles or a some weird reaction. Ummm......that's kind of a broad diagnosis, isn't it? Good grief. :/
    I had wine but only 2 glasses after a long day which included updating our trust at the attorneys office. My MIL did hers too....we all came out still talking to each other so that is a good sign I suppose. Probably will finish up the wine tonight.

    Doug's test results came back with no issues. The doctor has no idea what is making him sick. He will go in for another round of tests next week. He did eat more yesterday so he wasn't as cranky. I had two glasses of wine. I will have the rest tonight.

    Well I got one 0....

    Tuesday we went to dinner at this new beer place that has like 200 beers on tap. It was OK. It was busy, so service was not great. Beers were good, but $7-$8 and mine were both 10-12oz pours. Food was very mediocre. And it's just a pain to take Langston out anymore..... I had 2 beers, nothing when I got home.

    Yesterday I had one of those pumpkin beers (now we are down to 12 I think) and 2 glasses of sparkling rose'.

    We're carving pumpkins and making costumes tonight so I'll be drinking.

    Robin, best wishes for Doug!
    Great job on the zeros and moderation guys!
    Syd- I am up a couple lbs as well. It may have something to do with the increasing gravity of the earth....

    Hey lushes. We had a nice weekend. Friday our neighbor came down around 10. We were about to call it a night and then she texted.... We had a fire till midnight. I didn't do too bad. Saturday I had a few beers before a party and then drank a bottle of wine there. I had a part of a cider with a late dinner and went to bed early. Yesterday I had a couple beers while smoking salmon and green tomatoes and then drank the better part of a bottle of white. Went to bed around 10. Tonight there will be drinks while trick or treating, but not too much; I have yoga tomorrow morning. Happy Halloween lushes!

    I'm shooting for one zero this week. Two next week, maybe three the week after. Then I'm off all week for Thanksgiving so there will be no 0's.

    Hi lushes! I did pretty well over the weekend. Although this world series baseball stuff isn't making it easy.
    0 tonight. I'm shooting for a semi sober November. I'd really like to get in more 0 days than not.

    rjadams Posts: 4,029 Member
    A zero on a Sunday. What is up with that? Doug is doing much better. Thanks for all the well wishes. I am finding it much easier not to have a drink if I don't have any hard alcohol in the house. The scale is heading back down so I am much happier. Time to give it a try to get my act together.

    Happy Halloween, Blessed Samhain or what ever other greeting you wish on this wonderful day.

    Hey Everyone!!!
    Not a super eventful weekend but drinks as always. Friday, sunset and margaritas. Saturday, tide pools, breakfast, chores, skyping and vodka tonics. Sunday, skyping, chores, beach and coronas.
    We are those people that give out candy BUT vacate the premises. So we will leave the bowl outside and grab a bit to eat and some drinks.
    Then I am going for a better November with all things....food, booze, exercise!!!

    We had a fun Halloween. Took the kids trick or treating with a couple friends. Of course we had drinks. And no dinner so I went to bed at like 10. I'm getting a 0 tonight. Maybe another one this week; we'll see.
