    I'm cranky today :angry: Otherwise nothing else to report :wink:

    0 last night. And woke up all sweaty last night. Think it's my body detoxing from my festivities last week. :noway:
    Planning on a 0 tonight as well.

    morning everyone!

    I stayed pretty low as far as the booze is concerned over the weekend, and felt GREAT all weekend, weird! :)

    Sun - 0
    Mon - 0

    Hoping to have another 0 tonight, have bookclub tomorrow night, wine will definitely be had, Nutcracker with mom and sister Thursday (wine will be had before at Happy Hour) and a Christmas dinner Friday... bring on the booze.

    Must be something "going around" with all the zeros I see. So far a zero for Sunday and Monday for me. Cranky? A bit. :huh:

    Another zero last....WHAT :noway: 3 days in a row is very unlike me!!! I might have some wine tonight, depends on 1) if I get some yoga in afterwork and/or 2) I don't gorge myself on cookies again!!! :laugh:

    I made homemade eggnog. It has almost as much booze as it does half and half. It is so damn tasty and fattening. I worked on that since Saturday. I also worked quite a bit of merlot into my routine. I think I am going to seriously change gears in January so I am going out with a bang this year.

    I am excited about the trip but stressed about all the last minute crap I need to take care of. I will be going thru computer withdrawls while I am away because I am not taking my computer. I will get back on 12/31 so I will be around to start the next thread. but I will keep posting until I leave.

    Happy lushing all.

    Hello Lushes!! This is the first time all week I've even had a chance to check the thread! Work is driving me INSANE! So, so busy & I'll be lucky if I don't snap before noon on Friday!!

    Monday - 3 KC Pils (Boulevard)...I had a terrible day. Work sucked. Went to donate blood, and the woman hit my vein so it caused me to have to stop & not be able to donate (when I already was 1/2 through...then the bruise came & I couldn't do anymore)...so I left the Red Cross severely pissed off...and then when I called to talk to my dad about my day, he blew me off because I was in a "mood"...so that was lovely. Monday was just a ****ty day all around...therefore, beers were had!!!

    Tuesday - 0, but I did do my DVD at home. Only 20 minutes, but it is better than nothing, plus I have a huge 3 inches bruise on my arm that hurts a little bit...

    Wednesday - another 0, and I'm currently debating whether to hit the Y or just do my 20 minute DVD again. I feel like the DVD is winning at this point...I'm just TIRED!

    Hope everyone is doing well!! :drinker:

    Oh Bridget...work sucks right!!! Hope your week gets better only 2 more days!!!

    Again nothing last night...4 days, WTF is going on...Oh I know cookies, cookies happened!!! They are gone now so MAYBE some wine tonight.

    Hey lushes! I've been lushy.

    M - 0
    T - Planned on a 0 and had a dirty martini and 1.5 dark and stormies instead
    W - about 3-4 glasses of red wine, a half @ss margarita that cost $9 and a mojito that cost $5 that was delicious.
    R - Need a 0
    F - Eric's work party
    S - swanky dinner with lushy girlfriends. We go every year. There is an art gallery in the basement, so we get semi sloshed at dinner and then get all the way sloshed looking at art. We have a driver picking us up.

    Mama Lush, I'm thinking I need to turn things around in 2014 too and feel like because of that, I'm going out with a bang too. I've been drinking more than I intend to and I don't really like that. If I could just learn to count my drinks and stop at about 4-5, I'd be in good shape..... Sometimes I moderate well, and sometimes I don't. :ohwell: Hopefully I'll get knocked up soon so I can take a break! :wink: Oh, and that eggnog sounds divine. I have a recipe that sounds similar - raw eggs, tons of cream, and a lot of bourbon. That's the only way I'll take my bourbon......

    It's almost the weekend!

    Oh, and Kate! I'm impressed. I don't think I ever remember you having 4 0's in a row! :drinker:

    And Sydney, I'm jealous of your beach lunch. I actually dreamt about the beach the other night.... I need beach in my life.

    hahaha RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But again although I have been abstaining from alcohol the cookies have been making up for those calories and more!

    Kate, 4 0's?! That is awesome! You go girl!! Work is better today (finally!), and tomorrow is my 1/2 day, so I couldn't be more excited & happy!

    Monday - 3 KC Pils (Boulevard)
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0
    Thursday - probably at least 1 or 2. Going out to dinner with my girlfriend tonight for a girl's night out! Just what I need this week!!! I am super happy!
    Friday - Not sure if I'll drink tons, or just 1 or 2 then hit the sack. Hubby & I are going to his parent's for the weekend...so, yeah. I'm sort of looking forward to it because my Mom-in-Law is supposed to take to me to the Plaza in KC on Saturday, BUT winter weather is supposed to hit tomorrow...so that may kill that...and then I will be super sad!

    So happy today is Thursday!! The end of the week is sooooooooooooooooooo near! :drinker: :bigsmile: :heart:

    I think someone has kidnapped our lushy Katie! :bigsmile:

    I had 2 glasses of wine at lunch yesterday...and that was it! Usually when I drink during the day I end up drinking all day long...lol. The weather was gorgeous...food was great...the sun was reflecting on the waves and we were there during the kid's surfing time so enjoyed watching them. (Only in Cali can the kids go to the beach and take surfing as a PE class!)

    woke up this morning to dark clouds and rain. I'll probably just do a workout at home and have a quiet day. Wine will be had I'm thinking. :drinker:

    Tuesday=0

    Monday would have been a 0 too but DH was in a terrible mood and I thought drinking with him might help but it didn't so it was wasted:tongue:

    Tonight is my tv watching with the girls, we are watching the Big C. We are liking it ok.
    Speaking of TV, I watched the season finale of Sons of Anarchy and OMG, that was crazy...

    M - 0
    T - 2.5
    W - 6
    R - 4

    Oops. I was supposed to have some 0's this week..... Went for sushi last night and had 2 glasses there and then we split a bottle at home. I'm a little sleepy today, but not hungover. My goal for the weekend is to not get schmamered, but enjoy a nice buzz.

    Amy, the SOA finale was INSANE!! I cannot believe everything that happened!!! It was an intense episode.

    wine last night. so I guess the only 0 I had was Monday. But I moderated well...didnt gain anything so I'm happy.

    Off to Staples Center with the hubs and kid...courtside seats to the Lakers game (son's xmas gift). I'll say hi to Jack Nicholson for you all...we'll be sitting right behind him. :wink: Needless to say lots of food and alcohol will be consumed...we get there early and walk around the espn zone and such. Too bad Kobe is out as of yesterday with an injury...but even when the Lakers suck...going there is an experience. Lots of celebrity watching.

    Have a great weekend my fellow lushes!:drinker:

    Have a well-earned break in the sun Robin! Oh, and have a happy Winter Solstice tomorrow!

    Been having a run of Zeros since last Saturday, in fact Saturday was the only drinking day in almost two weeks. Bought a fifth of Pendleton Whiskey today. I doubt seriously tonight will be a zero. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Have a wonderful lushy weekend all!

    I bet we will see you when they pan over to Jack. I will have to keep an eye out!
    Last night I had probably four glasses of wine, some I added sparkling water to, so they lasted longer. I still felt a little rough when I woke up super early...

    Hi everyone!!! Last night and tonight are big fat zeros...

    I've been super busy getting ready for Christmas. I spoil everyone rotten with gifts galore.

    Had a patient ask me if I was expecting my first - as in, baby!! Nope, I already have 4 so I am 46 and done. The eggs should be done near fried by know.

    3 days and counting...good food, good liquor and I am off most of the holiday!!

    If I don't pop on before Christmas, I like to wish all of those who believe a very Merry Christmas :flowerforyou:
