been a long time since that's happened. I may try for another 0 tonight but I have a dentist appointment today...I hate the dentist...so may end up having some wine tonight.
Tomorrow is the big birthday I've been dreading. I hated 30 and loved 40. This one (to use a phrase I may have before) sucks hairy donkey balls. But I have fun plans...my favorite spa/resort in Palm Springs. The husband already booked a facial and 60 minute massage for me. I'm sure there will be lots of food and lushing. I wish I was 10 pounds lighter for the ol bathing suit...but it is what it is :grumble: I'm still looking forward to lounging in the desert sun by the pool with my book and cocktail. They usually have very cute cabana boys as well.

Happy Birthday Syd, Celebrating in your honor having spent the morning by the pool with drinks in hand. I love being on vacation. Tomorrow we are doing adventure zip lining. on is a free fall like bungy thing, one is a roller coaster zip line, one is a deep tandum plunge line where you can race your partner and I don't remember the last. Yes I am terrified but I do this for my husband. we start the day with a horse back ride so that I am happy. Saturday we are doing the space center and sunday we are doing
Aquatica. Monday we drive south, tuesday moring is the airboat in the everglades and then it is on to Key west. Love to all my lushes and I will check in as I can.0 -

I've got 10 drinks left for the weekend. I usually don't drink on Sundays, but my favorite art fair of the year is on Sunday and they have good wine so....nothing like a litlte art and wine. Which means I need to moderate tonight. We have a wedding recption Saturday, but not sure what the booze situation will be. Have a great weekend lushes!0 -
Well, I totally got *kitten* faced last night.....
Len and I went to the brewpub after our walk. Had 3 beers then opened a 1.5 liter bottle of wine at home and, yeah, drank the whole friggin thing....always seems like a good idea at the time BUT doesn't seem so good right now...BLEH! I am HUNGOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stopped at wawa to get a soft pretzel....needed CARBS!!!!
SIL is coming up tonight, which I am very excited for. I hate when Len goes away but his sister is a great alternative. We are gonna have a BLAST!! Now time for some advil and more coffee!!!
Happy friday!!!
p.s. I'm missing Kat. I hope she is well!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
thanks for the bday wishes everyone! I drank last night...an entire bottle of wine :noway:
the husband has given me a spa package that includes a facial and a 60 min massage that I will be using.
we may take the aerial tram up to the mountain 8500 feet (the desert floor is 90 degrees but its in the 40's up there) lots of hiking trails and beautiful scenery.
but for the most part my plans will include lounging by the pool with a cocktail next to me. :drinker:0 -
Where is everybody :happy:
Hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure did!!!
SIL in came up friday we had manhattans and pizza and beer (3 manhattans and 1 beer)
Saturday was outrageous and super duper lushy.....screw driver while getting ready to walk over to the movie tavern, then a pineapple vodka roadie, 3 margaritas at the movie, 3 pineapple martinis and 2 margaritas. When we got home, we finished the pineapple vodka, then had a vodka tonic. I was soooo surprised when I woke up yesterday morning and felt pretty damn good.
When Len got home we bottled our sunday funday beer and had 3 beers.
It was just all around a fabulous weekend. AND I feel great today....can't remember the last time I didn't feel like *kitten* on a monday, WOOHOO!!!!!0 -
I was pretty lushy this weekend too. Went to happy hour at a co-worker's brother's new brewery by our house Friday. I had 2 pints. Then stopped for a bottle of wine on the way home and had a couple glasses. Then had some red wine. Saturday we had a super busy day. Zoo, yard work, birthday party, wedding reception. I had a glass of champagne while killing time between birthday party and reception. Then had a couple vodka crans and then 2 glasses of merlot at the reception. Then drank half bottle of wine by the fire bowl. Yesterday had a white wine roadie (like this term Katie!) on the way to the art fair. Had a tiny glass of wine there and 2 beers, Then 3 glasses of wine at home and fell asleept at 9:30. I'm doing a semi-mini fast today. Juicing for lunch and probably more juice or a protein shake for dinner, so definitely no booze. Derby is Saturday so I'll be getting drunk for sure. Friday is Oaks day, so drinks will be had. Maybe I'll shoot for 0's till Friday......Maybe......It is Derby week in Louisville so it's like a party.0

Hello! This weekend was pretty lushy for me too!! Friday night...went out for pizza and beers with my hubby (had 3 beers at dinner), then stopped at the liquor store on the way home...had a bottle of wine & a couple of more beers after that. LOL. Then we slept in pretty late on Saturday morning...til about 11:30...finally got up and went out to lunch...then came home and snoozed the rest of the day. LAZY BUMS! I made dinner on Saturday night and had 2 glasses of wine & 1 beer. Then last night I had a large glass of wine & 3 beers. Tonight - Friday I plan on having all 0's!

Hey, lushes...
I was lushy this weekend, imagine that!!
Friday - Drank at gf #1 house and then went to gf #2 house.
Saturday - Drank at the casino while trying to preserve my money. I was not successful with either.
SoCal, hope that you're birthday rocked. It sounds like hubs treated you nice.

I blew my zero. My girlfriend came over because she was bored. In tow, was a bottle of wine and then we opened another. I am sure that I had 1 full bottle - but, drank 30 oz of water between.
I woke up at 4:17 this morning and could not fall asleep - so, I got up and started packing and doing more laundry. I feel like we are never going to be ready.
Kettlebells tonight and I am sure to die. Plus, I have to treadmill because I have that 1/2 marathon that I am not prepared to run. Plan is to be able to run 5 to 6 miles and walk the rest if need be. I am hoping that the resilient human spirit surfaces on that day.0 -
0 last night. Had a crappy day but didn't drown my sorrows in booze. I drowned them in patio furniture shopping and frozen yogurt instead. Still in a bit of a funk so who knows how that may affect my drinking tonight. I'm thinking another 0.0
-
Thought I would check in and see how all my lushes are doing, sounds like everyone is doing pretty well.
Thank you all for the well wishes
I've certainly come back to the lush side with a passion, I need to pull back at some point but probably not anytime soon.
Hope everyone is having a good week and better weather than here, it's supposed to be cloudy/rainy all week :frown:0 -
I have been having a great time. Yesterday we drove south and stayed at a very nice Marriott. Awesome meal with wine and cognac with dessert after3 rum runners by the pool. Today we have arrived at the cutest retro place in Key West. Not sure wat dinner will bring but I am currently nursing a pinkgreyhound since that is what's in our room.
Thinking of you all especially Kat.
Proud mom moment Holly completed a 10 mile tough mudder and attempted every obstacle. She only failed few.

Hi Kat. Thanks for checking in. :flowerforyou:
I've had 0's Monday and Tuesday. Might as well try for Wednesday at least and maybe Thursday at this point. Really trying to get some poundage off. I *may* try for a week or two booze free after Derby, or I may just limit drinking to weekends for a little while. I've been drinking more than I should and the scale is showing and I feel icky.
On a positive note, I went to the dr., ended up having a full physical including blood work. I had had three strong cocktails the night before and all my bloodwork came back great! Yay! My liver still works!0 -
Ashley, nice on the liver...you should have many good years left with it.:drinker: :drinker:
Mama, party on...the trip sounds amazing :happy:

Hey, there, Kat! xoxox
I went with my cousin to visit my mom and sister, it was a little lushy, we did a couple of winery tour/tastings. Fingerlakes area, the whites are better than the reds and some of them were just bad. I only poured out one, it tasted like gasoline.
Friday=travel day, 1 bloody, 1 beer in flight, 1 with dinner
Saturday=wine tastings-3 flights, one beer at dinner
Sunday=2 bud light tall boys
Monday=3 yuenglings (we don't have them in Colorado, I like them)
Tuesday=2 drinks (1 bloody and one beer at the airport)0 -
Hi Kat! So happy you've checked in. XOXO
Robin, sounds like you're having a wonderful time in Key West! Super jealous! I would love to go there! I'm trying to think of somewhere fun and not too $$$ for my hubby & I's 3 year wedding anniversary in September. I told him he was in charge of planning it this time around...but that seems to be going no where...so I'll do it!! I'm a control freak anyway.
Syd, sounds like you've had an awesome vacation as well! I would love to be anywhere but Kansas! Our weather sucks & it's COLD. Cannot believe tomorrow is May 1 & this morning it was 35 degrees outside. UGH.0 -
come to san diego, bridget! I can recommend a few places.
it's 87 degrees here in palm springs. but it's a dry heat (heh...the famous desert saying)
actually theres a nice breeze. it doesn't feel very hot. or maybe it's the vodka. The pool bartenders recognized me from previous visits. I don't know if I should feel flattered or embarassed lol.:drinker:
60 minute massage tomorrow before heading home. It's time to get back to reality. :ohwell:0 -
Bridget, 2 days ago - we a day of wet snow. I almost had a breakdown.
OMG, Sydney - You're so funny Don't smack any of them on the *kitten*. Reality sucks... 0 -

W - I decided to have a beer (312) and a cockatil of strawberry vodka and muddled fresh raspberries. It was sort of like a dessert.
Who am I kidding? It's Derby week in Louisville, I'm off work and going to the track tomorrow, and I'll be working on my fascinator head piece tonight. I'm drinking.
Plus I lost a pound over the last 2 weeks, so that's something to celebrate.0 -
Bridget, I like to control planning too, hahaha! That way I can guarantee I'm not disappointed!!!
Congrats on the lost lb Ashley!!!! My scale was pretty nice to me last weekend, let's see if it stuck!!

Thursday-I should probably go with a zero. But Len just bought a bottle of grape vodka and its gonna be in the 70's, so we shall see.
We got like 5in of rain yesterday and everything is flooded. It took me 1 1/2 to get to work, which usually takes 30mins....detours, detours, detours!!!! Outrageous!!! Most of the rivers have crested so hopefully the ride home isn't too bad!0 -
Kate, that is my feel exactly!!! Being disappointed is the WORST! Plus, women are just such better planners than men are That is amount of rain you got!! I can't believe the weather around the country. Scary stuff! Be safe!
