    Oh Kate I'm glad you caved too!

    Monday-10 oz red
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday- 5 oz red

    Thursdays are so difficult for me. I know I am usually the only one in the office so if I'm a little hungover I tend not to care, but it sucks cause I always miss my morning workout, but it was fun!!! So whatevs :wink:

    Bike riding along the marina today...followed by the pool with drinks. Pizza and games tonight.

    Playing it by ear Sat....we're usually too hung over to do much other than pool time. We'll get our 2nd wind for a nice dinner...seafood most likely.

    Happy weekend everyone!

    I didn't mean for it to happen...hammered last night :smokin:

    I'm all signed up for school, taking pharmacology and expository writing. These appeared to be the easiest on the list to start with. Now, I actually have to get a notebook and get organized.

    I got a new job opportunity to work from home full-time as a case manager - I can do 4 - 10 hours days, no weekends, no holidays. The only thing is I hate to give up the clinical skills and go into case management. Now is a tough time to change jobs, move and start school. There's not enough liquor in the world to get me thru all that.

    I think tonight might be a zero - but, I am not sure!!

    ^^What she said^^

    and we ate a ton too :grumble: Looking forward to a good exercise routine this week. One weekend off before we head back out for next week for a mini staycation here in San Diego. Booked a great suite overlooking Coronado Bay. Maybe I can drop a couple of LBs before then.

    Monday- 10 oz of red
    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!

    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 :heart: 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
