Looks as if everyone has done well this week and is ready to start the weekend! Good luck on the non-alcoholic wine Kat. Everyone else, enjoy your camping/partying/relaxing weekend.
As for me, Mon-Thurs were zeros so I bought a decent fifth of scotch, instead of my usual whiskey, to enjoy. That plus a six of Sam Adams Octoberfest will make for a relaxing weekend.

I am on my way to total relaxation!!!0

Fri - 3 beers
Team loss0 -
Ryze - the liquor store will keep a 1/2 keg on reserve for me in the event I need it...Yes, I will have the memorial glass for my dear lushes. I also thought about the extra cases, just in case...
Kate, a true lush would never let a party run out of booze :bigsmile:
So, Ron and I met another couple that we liked last night at the wine club place. Then, good lushy fashion, we invited them to our party...wonder if they will show :huh:
I wanted to place my order for the chicken and get my list going for the other things that need to be done...but, I ran like a dog at work - and - working actually consumed all my time.
Yay, for Robin traveling
Yay, for Kat with the mocktails
Yay, for the lushes not giving a hoot and being lushy this week!!0 -

I earned my lush card this week. Friday had 7 beers (bud light lime so....) on the course. Came home, warmed up some soup, poured a rose', and drank half of it. Saturday I had 2 glasses of wine at dinner, and probably another bottle (Eric and I drank 2), and then I opened a beer, drank a little, lost it, opened another, and Eric found my first beer. I am unsure if I drank them both. I don't remember going to sleep and was terrilby hungover (sick) for most of yesterday. Hate when I do that.
My goal for this week is to moderate. I have plans to go to a friend's new place Tuesday, so plan on a couple glasses of wine. I'll be dry Monday, Wednesday and Thurday, and then we go to St. Louis Friday. I've got a bar class with her early Saturday, so at least we'll behave Friday night.0 -
Sun - 2 beers

DRINK DRANK DRUNK...........wowza super wasted all weekend. Vodka on friday and lots of beer saturday then some moonshine and then some more vodka.....:huh: I was still drunk yesterday morning. Which made packing up the campsite kind of crappy. I slept a good part of the ride home and then another nap once we got home. When I woke up Len poured a beer so.....1 1/2 beers yesterday. We honestly had so much fun though...good group of people and the weather turned out gorgeous on saturday for the tubing!!
Len and I talked about refraining mon-thurs...atleast for a few weeks.
Monday-00 -
well, another late start to the month for me!
I was just reading that women should only have 7 drinks per week and no more than three drinks per day, so I think I will try that, but I might have to work my way down. I really think if I quite for 2 weeks, then 7 per week would seem ok.
Friday I didn't drink, had Warrior Dash Saturday where I had 4 beers, then Sunday had a wedding shower and drank probably six beers.
Going for 0s tonight and Wednesday at least. Tues and Thursday are happy hour plans so I will try sticking to three drinks.
It is so hot in Denver!0 -
Jealous of all the lushness, not jealous of the hangovers. I still have some non alcoholic wine. The stuff I got tastes like the red cupcake wine I like so not bad. I've been exhausted anyway so having the non wine when tired tricks you into thinking you're buzzed haha. A few more days until we head down to the beach, cannot wait :glasses: I will be napping in the sun, not worrying about housework or working out, it will be bliss.0

waaaaaay too many both Fri and Sat.
0 yesterday
I think it will be a light week as I plan for the party on Sat. The thing is I rarely drink much at my own parties because I'm so busy. But by Sat night after the crowd dwindles I'll probably take a shot or three :drinker:0 -
Popping to say hi cuz I just found some wi-fi. I drank a lot of wine yesterday and vodka the day before. It has been rainy and challenging this whole trip so far. I will explain more later but I thinks I hear some white russians calling to me. and vodka and kahlua and cream just seem right right now. I am cold and wet.

cold and wet does not sound fun, robin! hopefully things get better for you.
I had a glass of wine last night0 -
Robin- cold and wet. Where the heck are you? It's been sunny and warm in the greater Seattle area!
Was going for a Mon-Thurs zero but will be visiting with a couple of retired workmates Thursday evening. It will be a time of reminiscing our working together on Engine 13, 14 and 17, as well as bbq, hot tubbing and relaxation. Profile pic is of us next to Engine 17. Beers will be had. So I may trade the Thursday for Friday. Or NOT.

SoCal....agreed when your hosting your too busy to indulge!!
Robin, Cold and Wet means snuggling with whatever is available I guess
The all the zeros out there - well done.
Monday - ended up having 2 - moderation, right?0 -
Gary - enjoy your time with your mates!
Kim - That sounds like moderation to me.
Robin - Hope things are getting better and less wet.
Looks like a lot of you are moderating after a lushy weekend.
Monday - 2 glasses wine
Tuesday - 1.5 margaritas (lucky me I found that I made a pitcher a while back and it got shoved to the back of the frigde! Silly thing thought it could hide)
Here is some British pub humor:

Kim yes lots of snuggling and alcohol.
Gary I am in Alaska.
Diana, today was better I actually got the sun for about 3 hours. And we have moved down by the inlet so I have a beautiful view and it has been dry today so I think we will have a fite later.
too much wine this afternoon so I took a nap. I am better now and ready for more.0 -
Robin, glad to hear things are shaping up!!!!
Monday-0
Tuesday-0
Wednesday-0....gonna go for another one! Last night was alittle difficult because I had a tough day (family drama). Today, will be a different kind of tough, work has been super busy and I am stressed a bit being in new territory with my job duties. I do not get paid enough to do the things I have to and I am so close to calling my boss out...let's hope its a good day!0 -
Monday - 0
Tuesday - I'd call it 3 big glasses of wine. We drank 2 bottles, but our friend had 2 small glasses out of them, so I guess 3 is close enough....
Wednesday and Thursday will be 0s0 -
glad we had our fire yesterday because it is raining again and will be all day today and tomorrow. looks like it should clear up just as we head home on saturday.
lots of wine yesterday. Doug is heading out on a halibut charter today so I will be enjoying my books and wine again.0 -
Robin, Alaska is beautiful but the iffy weather can be an event killer. Are the mosquitoes as big as I hear? It sounds as if you are making the best of a trying situation! (wine and books)
Ashley and kblue- looks like we are all doing a good job of moderating and choosing our times to "let it hang out" a bit. :drinker:
Diane- Love the sign re: alcohol and great stories verses salads! Oh, and though rare for me, it is fun when I find a beer hiding in the back of the fridge!
Have a great Wednesday!0 -
2 glasses of wine. Was going to have just 1 but had another while catching up on Breaking Bad that we missed while gone this weekend. I've already dropped the weight I gained..so it must've been mostly water. I'm hoping the weight lifting I'm doing is helping too.
Out in the yard today to finish up getting ready for the party. I think i'm in pretty good shape.
Hang in there at work, katie.
You're a good sport, robin..I would have a tough time being cold and wet.
Good to see you check in Diana.
My wine glass sizes are big too, better. I still just count them as one :drinker:0
