    @MissMay your posts always make me smile
    @Lilylady3k Your brunch looks fantastic to say the least!

    Was AF last night, this is our last day in OH as we fly out in a few hours. It has been a whirlwind week but only 1 alcohol evening and I actually wish I had done without. It did not even taste good.

    May 6 out of 7 AF days so far this month

    back tomorrow after a good nights sleep

    I'm eyeballing the texas zucchini quiche @Lilylady3k, all looks delicious!

    Holding steady:

    AF 8/8 days
    CF: 2 days in a row (that's chocolate-free LOL)!!!

    I enjoyed the Vax-Live concert last night on TV, especially the surprise appearance from an AC/DC singer. Brings back teen memories! Overall I found it a well put together program and so inspirational.

    Make today wonderful :)

    My May Goals:
    16-20 AF days per month.
    Saturday to Wednesday nights AF.
    Allowing myself a few drinks Thursday and Friday nights.

    My daily check in:
    Saturday May 01 - AF - Working a split tomorrow at the restaurant.
    Sunday May 02 - AF - Planning on AF until Thursday
    Monday May 03 - AF - Early and long day tomorrow, going to try not to have a wee drink afterward.
    Tuesday May 04 - 2 drinks. I didn't make it my 5AF in a row this week like I did the 2 or 3 previous weeks.
    Wednesday May 05 - AF - I had planned to have drinks tomorrow, Thursday, but since I had 2 last night I am re-evaluating.
    Thursday May 06 - 2 drinks. Planned drinks with friends outside tomorrow too. We'll see how I feel after my 1st vaccine of course.
    Friday May 07 - Drinks. No side effects from the Pfizer vaccine : - ) Planned AF until at least Tuesday.
    Saturday May 08 - AF

    Rolling total: 5AF out of 8 days

    Reporting in on Saturday's failure.
    1 mimosa w/ champagne at brunch then AF mimosas (YEA for Spanish Zero Codorniu non alcoholic champagne /cava). Then in the evening I decided to drain the fridge of alcohol but did not pour it down the sink. 2 glasses wine with fried chicken dinner + 2 glasses champagne watching movies. Not my best day! I can do better.

    This morning for Mother's Day brunch I had AF mimosas :)

    There is both wine and champagne in the fridge still ... but I'm pouring out the champagne and letting DH drink the leftover white wine this evening. Stepping up to the plate and claiming an AF evening.

    NICE TO BE BACK HOME.
    Could not wait to get away, once there after 12 hours of watching my husband drink himself stupid, then fall down in public on a sidewalk and scrape himself bloody....I was ready to get back. The only great part of the time away was getting in tons of walking in new shoes that now fit, so no sore toes and getting lots of fresh air in that mask free state.

    AF 9/9 in May (plus add last five days in April for 14 streak)

    @Lilylady3k absolutely lovey presentation and the food looks delicious. I look at everything in the background as well and the copper ice chest has really caught my eye. I love poliahed metals. Most of my paintings I am creating these days have at least one of the fine metal colors in them.

    Let's all have a successful week in goal setting.

    @MissMay - I love my new metal bucket! Bought it for DD's anniversary party ... it held the led light-up sparklers & tambourines. Then it turns out to be a great ice bucket for the mimosa brunch. (Placed a towel under it because of the sweat but it did not leak). I think I'll be using it often. Great old metal look.
