OMG it's November

The time for holiday goodies and beverages galore. Wine flows freely and food is way too plentiful. It is a rough time so we are hear for each other, supporting and not judging!!!!!




Happy New Year (for me anyway) :bigsmile:

I got another zero. Just didn't feel like wine. I would usually grab a vodka but I said I was going to try the no hard stuff route for a while. So I didn't grab a vodka. Go Me!!! The scale keeps heading downward.

    Plugging along. I'm thinking wine tonight. Thankfully this world series stuff will be over, one way or another, tonight. If it's a win I'm sure there will be a celebration...a loss probably the husband will drown his sorrows. Either way I don't think I can escape some form of alcohol tonight :drinker:

    Mon - 6?
    Tues - 0
    Wed - 2 glasses of sparkling rose'. I went upstairs to watch a movie during the Series and drank water instead of having a beer. Yay.
    Maybe a 0 tonight. Maybe not.

Tomorrow we have a 40th birthday party, but we'll have the kids with us so won't stay too long. Sunday is a house warming party. The should fill it up! Happy weekend!

    Friday - 1 glass red
    Saturday - 1 glass red wine, 1 bacardi & diet
    Sunday - 2 beers....went to the Red Wings hockey game, took my daughter, step-daughter and hubby-moderated quite well. :) My daughter had never been to a Red Wing hockey game so I'm glad we took her before the close the "Joe" (Joe Louis Arena) at the end of this season.

    Robin - great job moderating!!
    I can't wait for this election to be over so the political commercials STOP!!!

    survived the weekend. Not much drinking. Go me. I have an open bottle of Pinot Grigio that I used last night for my veal picata so I will probably finish that. Have a good week lushes.

    I drank a lot Friday and was a little rough Saturday but powered through several hours of shopping with Daphne. Saturday I didn't even have a drink till 6pm! I was in bed around 11 I guess. Probably drank a bottle of wine at the party and split a cider at home. Yesterday I drank a lot of red wine at the housewarming and then 2 ciders at home. I was thinking I'd dry out for a bit, but it's doubtful. Maybe a 0 tonight. Eric is going to be gone which means I usually drink wine and watch a bad movie so it's possible I do that.....

    I have two Moscow mules last night. I got copper cups Saturday and hadn't used them! And I didn't want to waste half a ginger beer, so had a second. I was strongly considering opening a bottle of wine or a cider around 9 but had Halloween candy instead. So sort of a win. I may not drink tonight.

    2 glasses of white and fell asleep during the game. I got up and went to bed at 7:00. I haven't adjusted to the time change yet.
  • kblue2007

    No time change here...I love it and I am super happy everyone back on the east coast is only 5 hours difference...surprisingly that extra hour made a difference :)

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-Lenny planted the "where are we going for dinner" seed....if I can resist it will be a zero!

    I am not having the success some of you are having with the zeros, but am doing good in the working out department.

    By the way- I can't say enough good about this group of people. Not one word was said about the crazy divisive presidential campaign! That speaks volumes for the group! <3

    The only thing I'll say about the election is that I had to drink during it.... Most of a bottle of wine and I cracked a cider around 11pm.

    Mon - 2
    Tues - 4
    Wed - 1 pumpkin beer. They are finally gone!
    Thurs - maybe a 0? Maybe a cider? Maybe I'll get some wine?

    Little planned this weekend and I am HAPPY!
