So it is interesting that being a homebody was associated with being shy and introverted. I am neither of those things. Hell, I was a professional actress for 7 years. I can talk to anyone in any place but I don't always want to. I find it more interesting to just listen.
I have no problem speaking in front of people and I do enjoy doing things but if you asked me what I would really want to do and I will tell I want to hang at home with my boys. (Doug, Bodi and Ritter).
I do however hate crowds, and parking and traffic and all the things that are involved in attending cool things like festivals. I wish there was a way to do it without all the people. I am in a weird place right now. I am annoyed at everything. Basically my coping mechanism seems to be broken. I am not drinking a lot. In fact I had one hard ginger ale yesterday and that was it. I gotta figure out what is going on.
Happy Monday lushes.0 -
I'm the same, Robin. Not shy at all...I just hate crowds. Indoor concerts and Vegas casinos are like my worst nightmare. Oh and the phone. Don't call me. It's why God invented texting
Hang in there Robin. I'm convinced I've got the winter blues. I desperately am in need more vitamin D.0 -
Didn't moderate too well on the weekend, so let's skip that.
Monday - 20 -
Vodka and water. More like vodka flavored water. I am trying.0

It was 70 degrees and sunny in Louisville yesterday. So I left work early (although I was traveling and driving during lunch, so that's fair....), stopped for a bottle of rose', went for a run, got my kids, and Eric and I split the bottle. We also walked up to get frozen yogurt after dinner. I love this fake spring! Not sure about drinks tonight. Likely they will be had since it's going to be warm again and Eric has a big presentation this morning.
Robin, are you exercising at all? That is my coping mechanism. A good run or some yoga can turn my mood around. Hope you feel better!0 -

Oh long weekends.....I never seem to come off of them....let the good times roll
We had an awesome time in Oahu and a great day whale watching Monday. I so did not want to be at work yesterday. It was Lenny's bday so he took that day off and I wanted nothing more than to also be off BUT I survived.
Tuesday-3 vodka tonics
Wednesday-???? Probably drinks through...it is Wednesday and I've drank Thursday-Tuesday, so it will probably continue!1 -
Mon - 2
Tues - 2 mules
Wed - 3 ciders at my friend's in the late afternoon, 2 beers at dinner, I'm gonna call it a big glass of wine at home. I drank water all day so feel fine today except sleepy because I was awake 5-6:45 this morning because the birds think it is spring already.
Not sure about tonight. I'll probably drink the open rose' in the fridge. It's like spring here. That, more than anything, makes me want to drink!0 -
So I was reassigned to a new boss (good thing we are great work friends) new undefined statement of work while maintaining my old statement of work. (Do more with less) I found out yesterday and it is effective tomorrow. I had vodka last night. more than I should have. the best part of today is that are little annual bonus showed up on our paychecks today.1

Dinner with friends tonight. I have to drive home from my friend's after so I'll keep it relatively tame. It's gorgeous here. I want to play hooky from work!!! And of course it's getting cold for the weekend.0 -
37 degrees here this morning with more rain on the way :mad: and dear husband shared his man-cold with me. This week has been a total write off.
I'm so ready for Southern California spring weather.0 -
Well I have almost made it thru the week. 2:00 can not come soon enough. I hate that I have to stay until 2 on Fridays. I leave at 1:45 most days since I come in anywhere between 5 and 5:15. Doug made my drinks for me yesterday and he makes them really strong. They taste great and I lost the night. At least tonight is Friday night!!!! Have a great weekend lushes.

Happy Aloha Friday!0 -
Kate you do Skype a lot! We Skype with my parents about once a month, and that's basically so they can see the kids....
We had a good weekend. Friday I blew off work at 3:30 and went to happy hour and had three beers with coworkers. I took a little break, drank some water and had a cocktail and about 2 glasses of wine at dinner and one after. Saturday we had swim in the morning and then Eric went to Lexington for the game. I had two cocktails while I watched the game, grocery shopped and drank a bottle plus one glass of wine. Yesterday we went to the zoo and then I almost finished off that bottle and had 2 ciders over the course of the day. Not sure about tonight. My friend is coming to fix our internet either tonight or tomorrow so we'll see if that turns into him hanging out and drinking at all. If not, I'll probably log my only 0 for the week.
Our March is packed full. We have at least one event, usually two every weekend. This one is Eric's 5k, Home and Garden show, and Sesame Street Live. We'll sneak some drinking in there.....0 -
So, doing good on the drinking thing but replaced it with cupcakes! My mission in life is to create the perfect cupcake and I think over the weekend -- well, mission accomplished. Dark chocolate / coffee cupcake with dark chocolate grenache frosting. Ugh. To. Die. For. (Sorry).
Well,as for alcohol...

Gwen, I don't even like sweets usually but that sounds amazing.
Not drinking much at all but I'm feeding this cold with every carb I can get my hands on. How many calories do you burn from constantly sneezing and blowing your nose? Cuz that's the only exercise I'm currently getting.
Oh, we have a leak in our roof from all this damn rain.
Syd is a grouch. Sorry

Not sure about tonight. I could be swayed but we hardly have anything to drink in the house. Really that just means we don't have any cider or wine but plenty of liquor....0 -
