    DH bought Sweet Tea vodka. I haven't tried it yet but I really want to. I think I will. I came home from work and cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed the stairs so I did do something good once I got home.

    This is a great thread. I just got back from a week-long vacation with my inlaws. They drink more than I do, so, ummm. yeah. Lots of indulging this month.

    Now I'm stuck with the vacation hangover. No more nightly gin & tonics and mid-morning bloody mary's. Boo.

    ah crap, I see a plate of salsa beside me. I think I made nachos last night. :laugh:

    Up side of that I am not sick = lots of exercise today woohooo! I so hope it is sunny again today. It has been raining and freezing last few days. (Winter here) Yesterday was gorgeous whilst I was at work. I am hoping it is lovely weather today so I can get a long beach walk in!
    My daughter was there a few years back at this time of year. I remember having to pack her for fairly cold weather but she never complained about it being too cold and all of her pictures were beautiful. It was odd though when she would call me at like 5am (here) to tell me goodnight :wink:

    We were supposed to have a neighorhood movie night last night (we project a movie onto a neighbor's white house and we watch it from our yard/patio) so we all started off by drinking...then it rained so the women-folk and kids moved to one house so the kids could watch the movie and the men stayed at our house and watched hockey and drank beer. I drank...a lot.

    Not sure about tonight, it's supposed to be chilly so there probably won't be much outdoor time, which gets me into trouble, so most likely we'll be indoors, perhaps playing some Wii dance so I can shimmy the calories off. :laugh:
    That sounds like such an awesome time... I wish my neighborhood did movie night!

    DON'T STRAIGHT SHOOT IT!!!! Made that mistake once and never drank it again! It's really good on the rocks though but for me personally I ruined it by straight shooting it after we ran out of whiskey and regular vodka:sick:

    I've made it 7 days without a drink... Whooo Hoooo! I have a bottle of red wine that I opened a week ago that I really need to drink though... Might just have to use it for cooking. Had a great weekend with the family. We went to the Saturday Market and got some awesome new cajun spices that I can't wait to try out. We go there every year to get a specific blend but I got new ones this year that I think will be perfect on fish:bigsmile:

    I've been "lurking" on this board for awhile and I love it! I, too, am a "drinker" -- for me, it's a glass or two of wine in the evening. On the weekends sometimes a little more.

    My husband and I were introduced to Sweet Tea vodka last summer when we went boating with some friends. It's very good -- but be careful -- it can knock you on your butt. It just tastes like you're drinking iced tea and by the time you realize how much you've had, you can be pretty wasted. : )

    Oh, I am so thankful I found this group! My friend pokes fun at me and always asks if I'm "saving my calories for wine?" Sometimes I am. Sometimes I just drink it on top of my calories.

    And I know that's my problem. My weight would drop drastically if I could cut out those calories. I think I'll give vanilla vodka and diet coke a shot. Yum:)

    Just been catching up with the posts, hope everyone is well, there's some tasty sounding drinks being drunk!!

    I haven't had a drink since last Friday. I'm going out with some colleagues this Friday, I might drink, in fact I might need to drink to survive it!

    Good luck, Kim!!

    My mom came over to help me declutter and clean the downstairs area...it's the kids' play-room/office so we're not down there much and you needed hip waders to get through all the crap. I've had 2 s.f. red bull and vodkas today, but I also burned close to 500 calories with all the cleaning, scrubbing, climbing, etc.

    It was finally warm enough to get in the pool today..I love to swim so it felt great to change up the exercise routine.
    But holy crap, I had forgotten how hungry swimming makes me! Someone stop me from eating everything in sight!!!! :tongue:

Stressing about work. my contract is up in 4 weeks. they desparately want me to stay but they can't extend the contract because of potential layoffs in the skill code and direct employees need my spot so they said they wouldn't extend and they are trying to figure out a way to hire me direct but.......that could take a long time soooo.... I have an interview tomorrow for a different direct position so please cross fingers and toes!
