    Got my new fake grass. It looks awesome. I will post a picture when I can. I am thinking a bit of vodka and maybe some wine. I just don't know.

    Renny I hope you didn't write an email.

    I used to be accident prone when I was a kid. I think I out grew it around 45.

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 2 margs
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 5
    Friday, 5 or 6 beers
    Saturday, probably a pitcher of beer at bowling - 6'ish
    Sunday, 0

    Total: 12 or 13

    Ron was supposed to go out with a friend and then they insisted I go with them. Dang, it's hard to be so loved. LOL. The people we were with can throw down and they want to take you with them!!! I actually tried to moderate last night and alternated beer with water and munched on some ice chips along the way. So, not being hungover and ****ty is a success.

    I manage to get the morning off its: football game, Bingo (no drinks as I will be on call) and bowling tonight.

    Tomorrow, I will have to work or I won't be able to afford liquor.

    Renny I hope you didn't write an email.

    Robin, I did not write a nasty email. But things have not yet been resolved and I have logged the incident and sent it to my manager for discussion. So, now we are on to next steps. Frustrating as hell, because I want this resolved now, but you know how that goes...just because it is high on my agenda does not mean it is high on theirs. Anyway, sleepless nights and too much wine.

    I'm glad I just work for myself....every once in a while I can just slap myself around when I get annoying to work with/for. :tongue:
    2 glasses of red as I thought. I may try to get back to 0's until I leave next Friday. I'd love to lose 5 more pounds before getting into that bathing suit. :noway:
    happy weekend! :drinker:

    nice Robin! A lot of people are doing that down here because of the water shortage and high price of water.

    Well Lushes, Bodi and Ritter love the new "grass". It looks so nice. Now I have to get the deck done because it looks awful.

    WARNING: Mushy Mama Lushiness ahead:

    Today is all about balance. The Fall equinox reminds me that all things ebb and flow and we just need to find the balance. This something I need to focus on. I need to balance food, booze and motivation.


    Today is also a time of giving thanks for me. I am truly blessed to have a lovely home, a great job, a wonderful husband and adult children, the best dogs on the planet and a beautiful granddaughter. (yep still only one, Andelane is taking her dear sweet time to make her grand entrance.)

    I also give thanks that I have such a great lushy support group. I count you all as dear friends and I look forward to hearing from each and everyone of you.

    I hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

    Have a blessed Mabon.


    Mama Lush:love:

    Now it is time for a Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale with vanilla vodka and a pumpkin pie spice sugar rimmed glass.

    Did okay over the weekend. Had one beer Friday night. Had probably around 8 glasses of wine over the course of the night Saturday from about 5:30 - midnight, and drank tons of water so I actually felt fine yesteday. Had a beer at lunch and then about 3 more glasses of wine over the night yesterday. Hung out with one of my besties I haven't seen a lot of lately so that was nice. Weather was gorgeous and is again today. I have way too much to do this week and way too much going on but I'll manage somehow. I'll be in South Beach 5 days! I'll end up drinking at most of these "events" so my only hope for a 0 is tonight.

    Fairly lushy weekend, but I kept it to one glass of wine Friday when I was still trying to be good. Saturday I was in an awful mood, though and decided that keeping calories in check was not going to help, so I had a pig-out at a tapas place, split a bottle of Tempranillo and then home to watch Argo and had two beers.
    Yesterday, I had a couple of small glasses of red while watching Breaking Bad.

    Two weeks until my friend's wedding in noCal. I am looking forward to it :drinker:

    this week I might manage a couple of 0s or not.

    Hello Lushes! Happy Monday....:huh:

    I had a pretty good weekend! Drank some beers & wine on Friday night with the hubby & made dinner together. Saturday I felt GREAT & didn't even have a hangover, which I still don't understand considering the amount of alcohol I drank Friday night, but I'll take it!

    Saturday night I went to a friend's house, but didn't drink. Hubby stayed home to watch the Wild Kitties LOSE.....so he was not in a friendly mood after that game. I had 1 beer.

    Sunday I got to see one of my best girlfriends who lives in California! Went to her grandma's house & drank mimosas with her family all afternoon...then hung out with her all evening as well. I am very happy I got to spend so much time with her!

    Now I plan on all 0's until Friday...and I hope to be able to workout this week now I'm practically all healed!!! YAY!!

    Happy birthday Diana! Mine is on Friday. September is awesome.

    I finished off the syrah that sat outside all night Saturday, and then sat out all day in the sun Sunday. I hate wasting. It tasted fine....all maybe 4 oounces of it.

    We're meeting bro-in-law's friends who we are doing a side job (landscape plan) for tonight. They like to drink so I suspect they'll have refreshments for us. Trying to keep it to 2-3 for the night. I need to save my liver for South Beach.

    Happy Birthday Diana!!!

    Happy Early Birthday Ashley....you are right September is awesome :wink:

    Tuesday-0

    I don't know what's been going on with me lately but I have been f'in up my workout schedule for the last 2wks...and by that I mean I refuse to get up tuesday mornings to go to the gym, WTF!!! I just, just, just don't wanna :ohwell: so we have only gotten to the gym 2days a week for the last couple of weeks and been walking at night instead. Guess maybe my brain is subconsciously making me enjoy the last of the nice days before we are stuck going to the gym 5days a week once its dark in the morning and at night and COLD!!!!!!!!!!!! :huh:

    Just to prove that I am not an alcoholic and just a lush....I am aiming for 0's until Sunday night because my birthday is on Monday, the 30th.

    I had a small glass of sauvignon blanc at our client's house and then had 1.5 pineapple honey and sodas so I consider that a grand total of 2. I actually left part of my drink! Maybe I should drink vodka more often; less calories and it doesn't go down like a house on fire like my wine does.....

    Bowling party for our retiring CEO tonight. I'll have a drink there and try to bail early so I can start packing!

    Fall is here. Had to turn on the heat for the first time in a few months.

    Rained like crazy here yesterday. What is it about the fall that makes me want to EAT! :grumble:

    Good job Kate and Ashley on the moderating....

    Ryz...Fall is like that with the daylight shrinking and shrinking...I've already made lasagna, good cold comfort food

    Wednesday, 0 is the plan

    I'll be teaching religion class tonight. Long story how I got sucked into that one. So, we had to come up with a class convenent, which is basically class rules. One girl said, "To never be bad." I told her although that's a good one, it's pretty hard to do and not realistic and that we'd probably be bad at some point, so maybe we'll re-phrase it. Yep, I am the epitome of good Godly morals right there.

    I know you all are big fans of fall weather...but it depresses me. It means carefree summer schedules are over and the kids are back in school. For some that's a blessing...but I've always loved having mine around. Even when he was a little *kitten* and all his little *kitten* friends were at my house for hours at a time. Plus I'm a beach girl...it was 85 here yesterday which suit me just fine. :smile:

    Went to the salon and my hairdresser even wanted to "fall" me up by putting darker color in my hair....get rid of my summer blonde. (I'm naturally medium blonde...but it's pretty light right now due to the sun, pool, etc) and I said NO! I wasn't ready to give up my summer yet. Maybe after this next vacay.

    Oh and I had wine at the salon and another glass at home. :drinker:
