    mwuahaha... that's why I like announcing the names... ever tell bout the time I had some butt sex at the bar? :drinker: Butterscotch liquere and hot sex... made for quite the conversation topper!

    Hmm... think whiskey and butterscotch liquere would mix well? N I think buttery crown makes for a much more interesting visual! :laugh:

    A Buttery Crown is in fact a real drink (well, a shot really). And there are just too many comments to be made about anal sex that I am just going to have to behave.

    All joking aside, it's almost quitting time and I have every faith that I will go straight to the gym but I am already letting my mind wander to thoughts of hitting my watering hole later (after a shower of course). What the hell is wrong with me, can't I even make it one damn day!

    After my camping trip I said I wouldn't drink for 2 weeks. Ambitious I know. But guess what I made it 2 nights. Saturday and Sunday but blew it last night with 4 rye and diet coke. I am such a failure!!!!!

    Starting over again today. I am gonig to my mother's this weekend and she has NO alcohol in the house so it should be easy to make it through the weekend.

    Sunday = 0
    Monday = 0

    I was sooooo tempted to drink last night. My daughters were absolute holy terrors. The eldest kept running into the youngest with her bike (it's been taken away for 2 days), and my youngest ripped apart her favorite bedtime story that her dad reads her & her sister. I really have no idea WHAT has gotten into them...
    I can't drink for the next 72 hours - I have my annual physical Friday morning!

    Pam I am right there with you. We can do this. 72 more hours, then it will be Friday and we can call it good.

    I always go to this bar for happy hour on Mondays, because it is happy hour all day on Mondays. Well, the last three weeks I have jogged there as part of the couch to 5k since it is 3-miles away from my house. Some guy last night saw me jogging and said I must be dedicated. I was thinking, I am, but to happy hour, not jogging;)
    Not sure why he would say that anyway, it had rained but stopped. it wasn't like I was running through a downpour!

    Probably 'cause most lushes at bars for happy hour don't exercise:bigsmile:

    Ok, I joined yesterday. Dieting and eating right are not my problem. It is the WINE. I love my wine in the evenings, but I have realized that this causes way tooooo many calories in day. I am trying to go for a week without it. Today is day two of my quest. I'm debating to reward myself on Friday and Saturday, we'll see. Any tips I'm open.:drinker:

    They are DELICIOUS!!!. Very different from the super sweet/heartburn attack you get from normal margaritas...but I made these once(didn't have triple sec but it was jsut as nice) and it was a big hit!

    Have a glass of wine, isn't that how italians live so long?? Just make sure you get enough exercise so that you can allow yourself the extra calories.

    having an internal battle with myself. We are grilling a beautiful rib eye steak for dinner and a nice glass of red would be wonderful. We have some nice Spanish wines I am dying to try. I am trying to convince myself that it won't be worth it. that I really want to stay on the path until Friday. (I am losing the argument right now) aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

    step away from the wine!!! You can do this Robin... You know that one glass will lead to the bottle, why hate yourself in the morning?
