Tuesday-0
Wednesday- 0
Thursday- 5 oz red
Friday- 15 oz red
Saturday- 2 vodka and diet tonics and probably a whole bottle of red

Tonight we are making Mexican food, so I am thinking of getting some skinny girl margarita. Then I am going to shoot for zeros Tuesday-Thursday. Then take it easy Friday and Saturday because Sunday we are going the Cubs game for Mike's bday....so 8 am train to the city, probably start with bloody mary's somewhere, beers at the game, and then we have a babysitter over night (Nana) and we are spending the night at our friends house. So its probably gonna be a mess!0 -
Back from the beach and husband already started looking for a house for next year. Thinking we'll spend 2 weeks next year. It was a little tough because I just kept thinking how different it was supposed to be this year but it was still a nice time. I would love to move to NC some day.
It was gorgeous here today and still is which makes me want to sit on the couch and drink wine and so I'm going to... Right after an hour on the ol' stationary bike.
Tomorrow I start my tattoo for baby girl
I'm sure it will be emotional.
Good luck to those going for 0's and cheers to those joining me in the winding down of summer drinks.0 -
Kat-where and what will you do for your tattoo for baby girl? You said, "start" does that mean it will take a few sessions?
I am fascinated by tattooing, I think I will just have to take the plunge and do a little one before the big one I think I want...
Friday=1 drink
Warrior Dash Saturday was great, it was a beautiful and we did a late wave and most of the people were done by then. The only prob was the last obstacle where you had to climb up a big cargo net then across a cargo net to a water slide and there were about 6 slides and they made everyone wait til a group got up, over and down, so we waited 20 minutes, but earlier groups waited 40 minutes! So I had three beers after that. Then we went to dinner and I had a beer, and then to a concert and I had 3 more beers.
Saturday=7 drinks
Sunday was a lazy day=0 drinks
Maybe 0 tonight, I should probably string some 0s together for an exam thursday!0 -

I'm getting one of her hand prints, one of her footprints and a watercolor stargazer Lily. I've always associated tiger lilies with my Grampa and I always associated stargazers with baby girl. I think it will be multiple sessions but we'll see what he gets done tomorrow. I asked husband how I should get the tattoo, I was deciding between doing the Lily on my lower right forearm and the little one's prints on the inside of my upper left arm or having the Lily on the outside of my right upper arm and the prints on the inside of my right upper arm. Husband said he liked the latter so it'll kind of be an arm band. I'm excited and nervous because I want it to be perfect.0 -

Sounds lovely. I like the arm band idea! Good luck! My largest one covers my whole shoulder blade and had to do in two four hour sessions: line work and then fill with color. Those were some long hours..... Can't wait to see it! Glad you had a nice trip.0 -

Kim I am always so jealous of my friend that's a nurse when she randomly gets canceled for work and still gets paid.0 -
Chloe - there are definitely perks of being a nurse!! And, being cancelled is one of them.
So, the people who bought our house just backed out. I am freaking out because now I have to re-list. This is not the time of year that you want to be listing. I want to die!!0 -

Thursday- I am with you Katie! I did not work out this morning because the little nugget was up all night with his teething and I just couldn't muster up any energy. I am going to try to at least get in a good walk with the pup after work as long as its not raining.0 -
Unofficial showing last night
Re-list today
Work was hell last night
Packed my liquor, umbrella, sunscreen
Off to the fair
I'm not giving a fck today0 -
Kim- sucks hairy donkey balls.
Trying to shed a few pounds before my High School buds and I take our annual trip to the Mt Adams wilderness. It will be our 16th year in a row. I have been walking a lot lately getting ready for our day hikes. Somewhere between six and nine miles per day. Being retired allows me to do that kind of stuff. :bigsmile:0 -
Kim, enjoy the fair! Sounds like a great way to have fun and forget about your troubles for a while.
Gary...great job on the walking..I've noticed how youve really stepped things up (literally)
I had wine again....mailed off the final checks from my dad's trust to my brothers yesterday. I'm putting 90% of the money I got toward Preston's college..but am thinking about ways to treat myself with the rest. Probably will get some things done to the house...it could use some sprucing up. I'm having fun just thinking of different ways to spend the money.
It's almost the weekend...woohoo!0 -
Man oh man, I haven't been keeping up with the lushes at all!!
I went to Iowa this past weekend, and brought home 4 bottles of wine. I had one bottle on Sunday evening when I got home, but the other 3 are sitting in my wine fridge. Cannot wait until tomorrow when I can crack one open! Yum wine!!0 -
