I had the pineapple soaked in pineapple at a bar - and - that was yummy to sip on. I've always wanted to do infused vodkas but it seems easier to just buy the ones you want vs. putting in the work.
I think I am getting a cold. It's been about a 9 months or a year so I am due.
2 more work days for me so enjoy your weekend lushes!!0 -
Fri - 3 beers0

I actually drank less than anticipated last night! Had 3 glasses of wine, and then 2 grape vodka drinks with sprite! Not too shabby!0

I did my C25K today and did 10 minutes of Jacob's Ladder and I thought I was going to have a heart attack...
Thoughts are red wine are dancing in my head but I will refrain. I am planning a lushy weekend next weekend since I am off.0 -
Yummo!!!
Gary, I think you could cut up the cauli and reduce the brine to half to save $$$ - or - use chicken broth in lieu of the wine and salt.0 -
Red wine yesterday. a couple of ciders today. Keeping things mellow.0

Wine - every evening.
is all.
Not doing well in the "cutting back on alcohol" department. Plus that stuff is way too pricey. I have been keeping track, and it is creeping up to $300/month. Holy moly. Anyone else keeping track? How much do you spend?
On the other hand, I've kicked it up a notch in the exercise department. 3x week Jazzecise. 1x week yoga. Feels great. Was just diagnosed that arthritis also set into the lower spine. Drats.

Yes...I am keeping track of everything...I have categories to include dining and alcohol in their own separate categories. $300 is probably where we are at. Wine (at home) is expensive unless you do box. Drinking at bars and restaurants is way more expensive than drinking at home x 3. Hard decisions have to be made. So, get rid of any children that may be lurking. Consider animals. Pack a flask.
Awful about the arthritis...tylenol is the answer for now but the "check liver light" may come on with that.
Tonight - bottle of wine and one vodka.....it's my Friday!! Dined out, logged the expense and eyeballing my youngest for manual labor.

I had a generally mellow Friday considering my parents were in. I think I had about 4 or 5 glasses of wine. Saturday we had nothing going on, so we packed up the stroller and went for a walk later afternoon. We shopped a little and then had an early dinner where we split a bottle of wine. We can home and Eric went to the baement to watch football and I watched 13 going on 30 which was quite cheesy yet entertaining. I couldn't stop the wine from flowing! I had probably about 6 or 7 little 4 oz glasses so about another bottle I guess. I was a little sleepy yesterday when I got up, but felt fine after some coffee. Even made it to church! And worked out! I can tell I had a binger last week though; I woke up several times last night all sweaty. This seems to happen only after I drink a crap load (as I did Thursday) and then have my frist dry day (Sunday). I'll probably have a 0 tonight. Maybe finish the tiny bit of red off and/or the box of wine, which is almost gone. We have weekend company in, so I need to behave during the week.0

Well Kids, I was quite the drunk this weekend!!!!
Friday we ended up going out to dinner. Had two beers there, then stopped for one on the way home...ended up having two, then came home and drank a LARGE glass of wine while we played pool, fun night!!!
Saturday we brewed. Had about 3 1/2 beers (high ABV=high calories) during then switched to tropical punch vodka and sprite zero....3 maybe??
Yesterday, I made soft pretzels and had 4 maragaritas then switched to red wine...about 1/2 the bottle.
I didn't eat too bad, which is probably why I don't feel too horrible and puffy. Its great being home all weekend and being able to control what we eat. I got workouts it too and that always helps!
We are having a pierogi party at our house next weekend, so this week will be full of evening cleaning sessions and most likely vodka :bigsmile:0 -
Kate, sounds like you had quite a fun weekend!! And a pierogi party next weekend?! How fun!
My weekend turned into more drinking than I anticipated. Friday night wasn't too bad, but Saturday hubby & I went out to run errands, then ended up eating dinner at our favorite pizzeria and brewery! So, we each had 3 beers there (they are so yummy!), but I ended up taking home 1/2 of my pizza, which meant I only ate 1 & 1/2 slices there. It is about a 12" pizza that we split, so the pieces aren't even that big! Anywho, got some wine on the way home & ended up drinking that...so, yeah. Surprisingly, I felt great yesterday & even got a good workout in at the Y! Then I went with my friend to see Theresa Caputo (Long Island Medium). It was a fun Sunday!0 -

It was great!! She is very interesting to listen to and it was fun to see her in person! Her husband Larry was also there walking around. I didn't get read, but quite a few people did in the audience, and it was really neat. She is a tiny little woman and wears some rockin' shoes!!0

Went with a big ol zero last night....did split a bag of Utz Pretzel shells though, so...not a great day :laugh:
Probably some vodka tonight while we clean the top floor :happy:0 -
Monday - Finished that open bottle of tempranillo, which didn't even fill up my 4oz glass, then I had to dump the last ounce becuase of some sedimentation. I hardly count that as a drink.
UK has a big game tonight so I'll probably drink. I'm off work tomorrow anyways.0 -
Just had my 2 Oktoberfests last night, and the 2nd of which I didn't even finish completely. That is unheard of for me! Tonight, I'll probably have 0's...and then 0's until Friday! 0

Robin, I was very tired at work today as well...and, my brain was slow which is not good for someone who works on a busy floor.
Monday, 2 - large beers with Ron at lunch for his VD freebie at Applebees - 3 - margs at Mexican last night.
My goal is 15 for the week and I think I am going to surpass that.

Sending you lots of good luck, Kate!! I know how much it sucks to work at a job that you do not like!

Kate- Horrible Bosses suck hairy donkey balls. Speaking of which, the bosses not the balls, we watched Horrible Bosses last night. Perhaps you can hire Mother-F*cker Jones as a consultant to rid yourself of your boss! :sad:0

Gooooood luck Katieboots!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:
So for a quick check in, I am almost done with Christmas shopping almost all of which has been done from my couch Husband and I are headed to the baby doc tomorrow for my second ultrasound where I am REALLY hoping we find out boy or girl, I may burst if I have to wait any longer. And that's about it haha.
Just got done with a good hour on the bike and I think I'll have some faux champagne with cranberry ginger ale :drinker: I still haven't tried my non alcoholic beer, for some reason I just can't bring myself to do it haha.
Hope everyone is doing well both with life in general and with your lushy goals :flowerforyou: I am apparently half way through my pregnancy today so I'm that much closer to being back to my lushy ways 0
