Mama Lush sounds a bit lushy here :laugh: Glad you are having fun...Happy Anniversary!!!0 -
Happy anniversary robin!
bumping the thread...2 cocktails and a glass of wine down!0 -
LOL Diana..I thought the same thing.
Clearly I'm not quite finished with the vacation mode...the reposado is out. The half Mexican side of me demands I begin the cinco de mayo celebrations now.0 -
Sydney, I am not half Mexican and my body demands the same thing. Enjoy your celebration!!
Mama is lushy or has thick fingers:huh:
Tonight will be some vodka and cleaning as we do the final stages for the house. The packing of extra crap seems endless and then I've just gone out and bought some new things for the house. Of which, ground has not even been broken yet but I have wall art.
Hi, Diana!
Where's Ryz been? Out lushing perhaps?0 -
Where's Ryz been? Out lushing perhaps?
Still here. And yes lushing it up.
I follow the thread religiously but I do need to post more. We had a week or so of sun here in Olympia so we took advantage of the sun and did yard work.
We have a very private lot surrounded by ten acres of forest. There is a group of five deer that we see weekly. We even put in a small garden this past week in hopes of attracting them closer. So far they like the raspberries. We will see if they also like, corn, lettuce, broccoli, pumpkins, squash, cucs, and zucchini once they grow a little bigger.0 -

Same here...I read, but really dislike typing:blushing:
We have backyard deer too, in spite of our dogs. Our Georgia deer are not picky at all...but they really seem to love sweet potatoes and pansies, but those are not summer flowers...0 -

Sweet potatoes. May have to get some of them as I like them too!0 -
No surprise here.....I drank a lot over the weekend. Thursday night I probably had 4-5 glasses of wine after my 2 beer lunch.
Friday we did the Oaks. I had a cocktail, 4 lillies (basically vodka cran), and 2 glasses of wine at the track. Then came home and drank probably 3 more glasses while making mint julep cupcakes for my party, then we went to our neighbor's and they were tasting probably 20 bottles of bourbon. I decided I may like bourbon after all....straight up neat.
Saturday we had our Derby party. I was up around 7 (hungover for a bit) and non stop from that point till about 1. I cracked my fist beer around noon and then drank Ashley Palmers all day. I probably had at least 6 or 7. Finished the night off with a bunch of wine. I drank a ton, but I munched all day and drank water, so by mid afternon yesterday I felt perfectly fine. So I had 2 ciders at lunch.
Time to detox. Even though we have an open bottle of white and a crap load of beer in the fridge......0 -
Hooray! Hooray! The fifth of May!
Outdoor intercourse starts today!

Robin, sounds like a fabulous time!
Happy Cindo de Mayo! This past weekend just flew by!
Drank lots this weekend, of course...but plan to have all zero's this week until Friday night! Hubby & I are going out of town to visit his parents for Mother's Day. I'll probably drink lots on Saturday. Mother's Day weekend is definitely not my favorite. My Mom's been gone 13 years come this September, yet Mother's Day is always depressing for me. I don't think that will change

I am looking forward to a good detox. I don't even want to think about the amount of booze I consumed over the last week. :noway:
So shooting for 0's all this week along with exercising every day. I can do this!
oh and ummm Gary...that's not how we celebrate cinco de mayo in my house .

I drank a lot yesterday....
So, I have pics of the house on Wednesday and it goes on the market Friday. I.am.scared. This house seems like it will never be clean. Hubs is away in Chicago and I am left with all of this stuff. I've decided today that there is no more organizing. I have to throw crap in boxes and move on.
Oh, daughter wants me to move her stuff out of the dorm tonight and guess where it is going...Our house, of course.
I swear - it never ends.0 -
I hate moving, packing, and making decisions about what to throw away... sorry for you, for that part, but new house! yah!
I have been sort of lushie...
Friday=1 beer, half bottle of wine (2.5?)
Saturday=2 beers
Sunday=limoncello, dirty banana, then beers-maybe 6 but I can't remember...
Probably 0 tonight but we'll see.0 -
Fri - 2 drinks
Sat - 4 drinks
Started the Flying Saucer restaurant UFO club
Sun - 5 drinks0 -
So I had a wonderful time. Now it is time to detox. Going to work today was rough. I was so busy. I think I will have a bit of wine tonight to start my move to very little alcohol.
Kim I hate moving more than anything. Packing sucks. showing the house sucks because you have to keep everything spotless. New house will be fun but the process just really sucks.
Happy Cinco de Mayo all.
I like Gary's celebration.
Amy what's a dirty banana?
Syd- sounds like a good weekend
Bridget- I hate mothers day. I miss my mom and it also reminds me of all the Mother's day gifts my daughters made in school that their step monster thought they should give to her. I never got one. They weren't allowed to save them for me or to even bring them to me if I got to visit them over Mother's day. Painful memories.
Zip - UFO club?
To all my lushes, I am glad to be back!!0 -
I think I am 80% done and 2 days to go.
Today was more decluttering and organizing of closets, lots of vacuuming and steam-cleaning of carpets. When this house sells, I am not cleaning for a month.
I went to home depot for deck chair cushions and they only had 3 that I liked and I need 5. I also needed to get some more retaining bricks and then I couldn't remember the color - so, I failed that as well. However, I did get my fresh herbs for the pots on the deck and I am excited to have them again.
My son is helping my daughter move out of the dorm so I eluded that task.
I have a Mexican friend who wants to meet at the local Mexican eatery and refresh with a beer. I do, afterall, need to be a good friend.
Glad to have you back Mama!!
I love my Mother - but, I could leave or take Mother's Day.0 -
Monday - 2 glasses of wine
Open bottles of wine just don't last in my house. But now it's gone so maybe a 0 tonight? It's going to be warm and sunny all week which makes not drinking hard.....0 -
What a weekend we had. Saturday brewed beer, make soft pretzels and began painting the bathroom. We ended up taking off yesterday to finish up. I am guessing we spend about 20hrs in the bathroom this weekend. Its hard god damn work!!! But it looks perdy
Friday-2 grape vodkas and sprite and a bottle of wine
Saturday-3 1/2 beers and 3 grape vodkas
Sunday-3 beers and 3 grape vodkas
Monday-1 margarita and 3 bud light limearitas.
Gonna dry out until at least friday!0 -
Kate, I feel your pain...
Last night was 2 gigantic beers and then a shorty. I walked to the restaurant and back so hopefully burned off the shortie.
I've just cleaned the oven (UGH) and am ready to steam clean an area rug. Then, it's off to the basement to organize the storage area, belt out the final laundry and hide the crap that I have left to hide. This afternoon, I will get out and get the bricks and deck chairs.
I need a vacation..0 -
Kim, you're exhausting me just reading your posts.
0 for me last night! It felt good and I slept good.0 -
Monday=0
Maybe another 0 tonight, start a trend
A dirty banana is what my aunt called it, I think it's also called a dirty monkey because there is a banana in it-along with rum, Kahlua, Bailey's and... that's all I know! I can ask her for the recipe if you want, it was pretty tasty, maybe ice cream?!0 -
Visited friends in Missouri this weekend and ate and drank terribly. I am starting a 30 day serious diet for my vacation next month. I am going for as many zeroes as possible.
Monday-00 -
Kim, I agree with Syd that reading your posts just exhausts me. I'm probably the laziest housekeeper on Earth. I vacuum and I call it clean. I really need to change my ways!
Amy, a dirty banana sounds absolutely wonderful!!! Please share the recipe! I think that is something I would really enjoy! YUMMY!
Monday - 0...even though I was extremely tempted to go and buy some wine.
Today started off kind of crappy. I was headed to work and I take the main highway that goes straight through the city...well, the eastbound lanes (which is what I take in the AMs) were completely closed due to a multiple injury accident. So, I had to detour and got to work late (like 10 minutes). I generally call when I'm going to be late, but just decided I would not do that this morning since I was kind of close to getting to work. So, when I get in my office, my boss had completely covered my desk with about 7 files, all of which had post-its stating the time which each was written...basically his passive-aggressive way of letting me know he knew I was like. So, yeah....immediately stressed and then just popped a Xanax before starting to cry (gotta love PMS!). LOL. So, I am really looking forward to work being over so I can work out my frustrations at the gym!0 -
Nothing last night and another zero tonight!!0
-
Ditto for me! I didn't sleep as well last night but I feel good about my diet and exercise. I'm hoping the scale continues to go down and I drop all the weight I put on over the last month.
the appraisal came in good on my dad's house...inspection has been done (fingers crossed nothing major..I'm alittle worried about the roof) and shockingly enough no termites (every house in Cali has termites) If all goes well escrow will close in 2 weeks. *fingers crossed*0 -
Fingers crossed for you Syd!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XO0
-
Good luck Syd!
Monday-0
Tuesday-0
Feeling good about these zeros!0 -
Monday=0
Tuesday=0
Look at that! too bad I feel like I'm getting sick-sore throat, starting to feel a little achy, but I was hoping it was allergies and last night's workout but I don't know....0 -
Great job on the zeros everyone. I am doing my part to balance the universe by NOT having zeros. :drinker:
Beautiful day here in Olympia. Will be outside in it working in my folks yard. They will be listing in June to move into a senior community. Have a great Wednesday!0
