So much for 0's.....
Monday - 0
Tuesday - Eric's friend was fighting with his GF so came over. Since we had company, I decided to drink. One glass of wine and 2 dark and stormies (black rum and diet ginger beer)
Wednesday - 3 glasses pinot noir
TOTAL 6
I thought a 0 tonight sounded good, but fogot we're meeting one of my old co-workers turned pipe salesman tonight for happy hour. Hopefully keep drinks to 3 or less. I'm shooting for a weekly total of 19. I think I may try to reduce my drinks by 1 each week and see how that goes. Baby steps.....
Kim, you're doing awesome!0 -
Kim, you're doing amazing with all of your 0's! However, sober bowling really isn't any fun at all. So go have fun & if you have a few...don't stress out! You're allowed!!!
Everyone with all of their 0's are really inspiring! Way to go!!0 -
Last night another black rum and cider.
No idea about tonight??!!!
Do you drink this hot or cold? Sounds nice.
Last night I had to open a beer to boil the brats in, and I drank the other half, but comon' half a beer? that doesn't count, right?
Tonight, beer and pizza and maybe wine-we're watching the last season of Weeds!0 -
Amy, 1/2 a beer totally does not count!!! LOL
Beer & pizza sounds delicious! That will probably be my dinner tomorrow night! Love Fridays!!! And what do you think of the last season Weeds?? I loved that show so much, but I found it really hard to get through the last season...maybe it was just me?0 -
Amy, we drink it on the rocks :happy:
Beer and wine and pizza and a movie are my plans for tomorrow. We will be snuggled up down the shore, I am looking forward to it!0 -
Okay that poem had me howling.
I broke down last night and drank about 8 beers. I had such bad back cramps and then the darned ferret decided to trip me (into the wall, YAY!). I just had it. This morning sucks though. I think I like vodka morning afters much better.0 -
Kim..hope the bowling was fun!
and 1/2 a beer doesn't count at all!
I hAd 2 vodkas and a glass of wine. But I was done by 7pm so I feel fine this morning. And I had the calories to use after a morning at the gym and the afternoon in the pool. Sitting in the sun makes me drink. :drinker:0 -
Hey Lushes!
I am back at work now, so I will be able to be more regular with checking in now!
I have been pretty consistent with my lushiness. I am still breastfeeding so obviously not out of control. Typically I have been having a small glass of wine with dinner and then another large glass after the baby goes to bed. So about a half bottle a day. I have to say I did miss being able to come home and have a drink after work while I was pregnant! Its great to be back (as a lush not at work!)0 -
Awwww, welcome back!!! Baby is adorable.
I buckled last night. My daughter wanted to go out as a family for bowling. I could not do another night of sober bowling.
2 passes used and I need for for Saturday...0 -
good to see you chloe....welcome to parenthood (cuteness!) and welcome back to the lush thread!0

Just read the news that Russell Johnson who played the Professor on Gilligan's Island died at age 89. He was my favorite character on that show because he was a science guy and I liked science. Then I hit puberty and my favorite character was MaryAnn cuz I liked cute girls better than I liked science.0

Gary, I heard he lived up in your neck of the woods. On an island..kind of fitting
I'm drinking wine tonight. Just saying. Also...I am ignoring the tickle/sore throat I've felt all day and am chalking it up to the 5% humidity/super dry weather we're having. Cuz I'm NOT getting sick.0 -

I heard that he lived here in Washington as well, Sydney. Other than Dawn Wells (Mary Anne) I'm not sure there are any surviving members left. Not sure if Bob Denver is still living or not.
And that tickle in your throat is definitely from the dry air!0 -
Last night 2 manhattans....I love bourbon!!!!!
After work we are heading down the shore, tomorrow we will visit Len's Nan and then head home in the afternoon. I'm gonna try and not get sh!tty tomorrow night BUT I make no promises. We are bottling a small batch beer swhen we get home then the big batch sunday so I don't really wanna feel like poo :bigsmile:0 -
Monday - 0
Tuesday - 3
Wednesday - 3
Thursday - 2 pints of Magners, 1/2 bottle wine = 5
TOTAL 11
8 left for the weekend
I can do it.
I am full fledged sick. It started last Monday. Thought I had it beat last Saturday. I feel worse today than I have in a while. Maybe because I was up between 3-5am. I may actually leave work early and take a nap because I already made plans to drink wine and watch the winter finale (aired prior to Thanksgiving I think) of Grey's Anatomy tonight with one of my BFFs. The things I do for wine and friends.......0 -
Glad you're back, Chloe!!
Well, my planned week of 0's didn't quite happen. I hit it pretty hard at the gym last night, so that was a good thing! But, then I got home to find our fridge stocked with beer! This roommate thing is really working out well! It is so nice having someone home when I get home & who stocks the fridge with beer. So, I ended up have 2 beers while waiting for the quiche to finish baking. Yum!
Happy Friday, Lushes!!0 -

Tonight we are celebrating the husband's last day at work. He is going to do comedy now. It's exciting but kinda scary:laugh:
I will try to moderate!
Realized I have the Pink concert after the Broncos, not sure how much drinking there will be!0 -
Thu - 2 beers0
-
Amy, hope you have so much fun at the P!nk concert!!! So jealous! I bet it is an absolute blast!!0
-
I'm into the vodka tonight..I moderated so well but I said EFF it all when I got a phone call my dad's wife died.
I feel a little bad...because we were all joking at Christmas that she was gunna out live us all. Sheeitt0 -
Syd, sorry to hear about your dad's wife.
I have been seriously into the vodka the last couple of days. I am looking forward to the Broncos game and I am going to try to be good today.0 -
Sorry, Syd.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRONCOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
Just thought I'd put that out there...
Amy, your husband is doing comedy now? Wow...that's scary and crazy and very cool! Is he performing locally?
I had a shot of JD Honey and a Capt./Fresca last night and due to my lack of eating, it knocked me on my butt. I think I'm going to be good tonight because, Bronco game tomorrow and we have a sitter lined up so we can finally see Anchorman 2 late tomorrow night.0 -
I'm so sorry Syd, sending hugs!
Nothing for the past couple nights. Thursday honestly sucked so I'm going to limit myself to the weekends. I have no idea what we're doing tonight so I'm padding "just in case". If nothing else, I'll save my drinks for tomorrow's games.0 -
Amy, do hubs have any youtube videos for us to check out?? Have fun at the concert!
Syd, that is crappy news and sorry to hear of it. :flowerforyou:
OK, I blew it big time yesterday - hours and hours of vodka ingestion here. So, I have now used 3 passes and I have to finish the last 13 days alcohol-free.
I went to the outlet mall yesterday and scored UGGs for $108 a pair - so, bought a pair for me, my daughter, my mom and some slippers for hubs. Spend a small fortune but it was definitely worth it. I have been too cheap to buy them otherwise. I already have visions of going back next week for the things that I wanted but decided not to come home with. I walked in with a scary amount of shopping bags yesterday.
This girl feels like poo today :sick:0 -
So sorry about your dad's wife Sydney. Really sucks. Hang in there, and we will all keep you in our thoughts. 0
-
Sympathy Syd
Fri - 4 beers0 -
Thanks everyone. You guys are the best.
Tough day at dad's house..it didn't help that I was hung over as all hell. :noway:
But things are pretty organized...it should be fairly easy to get the house on the market and hopefully sold quickly. I'll be more focused tomorrow and should be able to map out a gameplan.
0 tonight and probably tomorrow too.
Good luck to the Broncos
Gary, I'll cheer for your seahawks too just cuz I love ya 0 -
I've had 2 cups of tea (well, about 12 oz worth) with doubles of the Captain in them. I just don't feel like drinking anything cold. FWIW, Bigelow's Apple Cider tea with spiced rum is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. '
I've been making hot toddys for the sick husband. I'm such a good wife. :laugh:0 -
Nine days in a row is not good for sobriety - last night was one glass of wine
That makes 5 days of drinking for the month...I have to finish strong and at least I work next weekend to make it easier.0 -
Wooooooooo! Broncos in the Super Bowl!!!!!! I am soooo happy, that, and merlot. :bigsmile: what can I say? I am a lush!!!!0
