    Just wanted to say hello to my fellow lushes. I know I haven't been around in awhile and I do so miss this thread. In another 8 months (we are expecting #4) if this group is still going strong I will be back! That is a promise.

    All the Minnesota talk is making me homesick or I should say "summerhome sick." We just got back from our cabin in North Central Minnesota and unfortunately it was chilly this time up but I still miss it. I wasn't able to drink up there either this time around which totally ticked off my cousin who was hoping to have a drinkfest with me. Oh well.

    Hope you all are doing well!

    Don't know how it could have been chilly...we've had a wave of 90 degrees for the months of July and August

    Kim,

    Maybe you didn't see the part where I wrote that we were in the North Central part of the state. Where I was the week of August 15th (3 1/2 - 4 hours NORTH of the cities)! And up North we haven't hit 90 degrees in July and August but ONE time (and it was right at 90), which was August 9th.

    Safe to say, no "heat wave" up where our cabin is. Minnesota is quite a big state and the temps aren't the same over the whole span of it. Now here in Chicagoland it has been a hot summer so I guess that is why mid 50s to low 70s seemed VERY chilly to me. And the mornings at 55 degrees were awful. Now if I had been able to drink I am sure it would have felt warmer.

    Anybody have some variations for wine spritzers? I like dry reds, but not sure if they will work as a spritzer. Rachel Ray has someone on today talking about calories in alcohol. Liz somebody, author of 400 calorie fix. She said those that have about one 5 oz glass of red wine a day tend to have lower BMI's. hmmm.

    Nope, I read it right...just hard to believe it was chilly is all...it's just been so hot in the twin cities

    Dear Lushes:

    I am sorry I have ignored you. I have been busy being a lush, not even trying to cut back. My weight has remained the same since I am still exercising and eating decently, but that all ends tonight when my old college roommate's plane lands and we spend the weekend getting hammered and eating like crap. If I survive, I'll see you on Monday, probably right after I have dialysis.

    Dave, I hope you have a great weekend, life is for living and catching up with old friends is the perfect excuse for indulging.

    I've had a bit of a naughty week. Didn't drink over the weekend, but have managed a bottle of white, half a bottle of red and 2 (very large) Jack Daniels and diet cokes since then. In my defence it was my birthday yesterday so that involved pizza too :tongue: yummy but so far over my calories. Back on the straight and narrow tonight though, just in time for the weekend :drinker:

    Dave - Have fun on your bender!
    Yvonne - Happy Birthday!

    Monday = 0 drinks
    Tuesday = 0 drinks
    Wednesday = 0 drinks
    Thursday = 0 drinks..

    can I make it through today without drinking?
    1) the rugrats are not in school today...
    2) the husband accused me of being a sucky mom
    3) the husband has a poker/cigar party tonight
    4) which leaves me on Mommy duty for the next 36-48 hours since he will be too fugly to help out in any capacity.
