So sorry Debbie =(
Had my tattoo done Friday and still wasn't feeling too hot so I had a couple small glasses of prosecco my Gram bought to celebrate Kyle's and my engagement. Went home hoping to go to bed but Kyle played his video game for awhile and then we went to bed. We were up early, he had to bring his car in before we went to NY. NY was fun as always, it was in the lower 40's but wind wasn't bad and I prepared so I wasn't complaining about the cold. Got home and watched some TV then went to bed. Only had the sampler of beer in NY that day, so 2 nights with not enough drinks to really feel much and on the weekend no less! I was proud haha. Yesterday Kyle's parents came over because his dad was going to help put our bar shelves up. My team finally lost and it was not a happy house as the fiancés team also lost. So I had 2 beers and then we went out to dinner with Kyle's family to celebrate our engagement and his youngest sister being done with college. Had a dirty martini, which I hadn't had in a long time and it was so yummy. Came home and was already exhausted but wanted to catch up on Dexter so we could watch the finale last night. Made 2 of those Christmas/winter martinis, stopped there and after the finale of Dexter it was sooo bed time. Feel fine today and am going to do a week long mini slim down so as to ensure I fit in my Christmas dress. Also, Kyle got me an early Christmas gift or rather it was supposed to be my "gag" Christmas gift on Christmas but it was addressed to me so I opened it. Turns out he bought a share of stock that my team The Green Bay Packers were selling in my name so I am officially part owner of my favorite team in the world =} totally not a gag gift in my eyes but an absolutely amazing gift and shows how well my fiancé knows me
who is now not feeling well so I'll be taking care of him when he gets home, trying to make sure he's well by Christmas.0 -
Oh well ---bottle of wine on Staurday, but behaved myself with only 2 vodka cranberry and 1 glass of wine last night! Working out tonight and NO alcohol!0

Hi Lushes,
Debbie, so sorry about what happened to your daughter and grandson. It baffles me how someone can steal from someone else and give or use those gifts with a clear conscience. Hopefully they will get caught or they get stung by something poisonous.
Kat, hopefully you are not too upset about the Packers...OMG ...Kansas City :noway: That's awesome you now own a bit of stock in your favorite team. My son loves the Packers, not sure why...we never lived there, don't know anybody who lives there. He just has always liked their attitude,the coaching and the way they play the game, even after, ahem, Favre left.
Right now I am enjoying a wonderful glass of red from a local Ga. mountain vineyard. We belong to their wine club and they send us (well we pay for it) 3 bottles every three months for a year. So far this particular bottle definitely is my favorite. It is called a touriga which I am not familiar with, but yummy just the same. I have salmon roasting in the oven that smells awesome along with some butternut squash. Timer is going off... gotta scoot...Cheers all! :drinker:0 -

I am really into football and get insanely invested in each game and season so it's still kind of tough but I think they'll learn from it and it'll just make them better down the road. I still have every bit of faith that they can still make it to the super bowl and win it. I never lived there either but my cousin who is more like a brother that I grew up with and his father are Packers fans (don't know why either haha) so that's why I've been a fan my whole life =} My fiancé is a Giants fan and last Super Bowl we had 2 of his best friends over and when the Packers won I teared up and they could't understand because they aren't' into sports. One of them said that I was silly to be that emotional and that sports had no impact on my life which is simply not true. If it weren't for a mutual love of sports some of the close relationships I have wouldn't even exist today. Oh well though, I'll continue to be invested in my sports and especially my teams =]
Having a Christmas/winter "martini" not using a martini glass. Kind of stressful day, kitten peed on the tree skirt and one of my pups had an upset stomach and went to the bathroom all over the living room so my little green carpet cleaner was out quite a bit today. This drink will surely calm me down though

Kat, what is your tattoo of?
Debbie, so sorry about the presents. People can be so horrible!0 -
I nursed a bottle of champagne all day yesterday and then had a little vodka late last night. Tonight I am going to aim for nothing. Try to give myself a break before I head to San Diego for a a week of drinking and eating and chilling out.
EPIC FAIL
bottle of Riesling and a vodka rocks. I am hopless.
Debbie -that soo sux.
Kat - new tatoo?0 -
Fail last night, had 1 8oz glass of wine, I had so many calories left for the day and once my husband poured his second egg nog with bourbon, I wanted something too, just like a little kid, haha!!!!
Tonight-we'll see 0 -

The plan for this week:

Friday- 0 (but I know I will be cleaning and getting ready for Christmas eve, so I may have some wine if needed
)

Sunday- 3 different Christmas parties to go to so I'm sure there will be plenty of cocktails0 -
Monday, 5 margaritas at dinner...they're small ones tho
Tuesday, 5 glasses of wine
Tonight, going to pizza joint for gift exchange. We get to bring our own liquor there; so, I'm thinking a bottle of nice wine.
Tomorrow, I leave for WI Dells to meet the Chicago peeps. I am sure it will be lushy.0 -
Spent time with a friend last night, she was in a bad space so that means drinking too much-3 vodka drinks before we left her loft, and I had to mix them with oj and lite lemonade. Then at dinner I had two glasses of wine and another glass of wine when I got home.
Monday=6 drinks0 -
New tattoo is an anklet with a snowflake charm =} my best friend and I wanted to get friendship tattoos so we decided we'd incorporate a snowflake somewhere since we were both born in December. She got the kanji symbol for friendship surrounded by snowflakes. Have to say, mine was 10 times worse than both of my wrist tattoos put together. But it's done and I fall more in love with it everyday, can't wait for it to peel and be healed but in the meantime I think it'll look nice with my Christmas outfit of a green dress and red heels
Only had 2 drinks last night! I may be turning over a new leaf as far as drinking. I pretty much stop when I'm feeling that sleepy feeling which is after a couple drinks. Its when I push through that feeling and keep drinking that I get in trouble. I felt so relaxed last night and since it was only 2 drinks, no hangover today :drinker:
Fiancé is tough to buy gifts for because he is the guy who either has everything or buys himself everything. However there are a few things that he doesn't think to buy himself and those are the things I get to buy him =} So aside from a short stop at the mall to get pandora things for my Gram & Mom's gifts, we online shopped last night and bought gifts for everyone but one person. I bought Kyle's gifts today online and as soon as we get his youngest sister her gift we'll be done, and all in one night basically :bigsmile: So can't wait for Christmas. I just love seeing my family during the day and then spending the night with Kyle's family and their best friends 0 -
Sounds cute, Kat! I think we need a pic, however.
Oy. Last night was lushy. I had 3 (or 4...maybe?) red bull and vodkas and 2 (or 3?) shots of Tuaca. I felt fine this morning, because I was up super late and drank a ton of water before I crashed. The one side effect was me writing some goofy *kitten* on my profile. :laugh:0 -

Fair enough, I'm going to wait until it peels though. I do like it with how dark it is now but I know it'll lighten once it peels, so that'll be the full effect.
Had one beer and 2 Christmas drinks tonight, was ready for bed around 9 and it's now 9:40 so bedtime is soon. Fiancé is still not feeling well =( but hopefully will be okay for Christmas. Found out tonight that a boutique in MA has the wedding dress I fell in love with and so a trip needs to be planned. Honestly, being together for 8 years before getting engaged has been a blessing. We found the most amazing venue with the first place we looked, I checked out a few dresses online but cut it down to the one I absolutely love and found out I can try it on in MA, the salon is about 2 hours from our house, not too bad. I already know what wedding band I want although it's filed under celebration bands but it's beautiful and I can't wait to put it on =}
Pretty damn happy right now and haven't had any of those "empty" feelings in a long while =]0 -
Sunday-3beers
Monday-8oz of wine
Tuesday-2 orange vodkas and sprite zero and 8oz of wine
Hmmm....didn't do so well not drinking this week, huh!!! :huh:0 -
:ohwell: too much vodka last night. I don't want to be at work.
Kat I am glad everything is going so smoothly for you regarding the wedding.

Tonight is my work Christmas party and I already know I will go over on calories bc I don't have time to work out and I'm sure there will be plenty of food and cocktails. I'm just going to do the best I can with the rest of my day to make up for it 0 -
Tonight starts my first of many nights drinking. Meeting friends for martinis tonight before a movie. Tomorrow night, going to a wine bar with a friend from out of town. Friday...off to the hometown of my husband, where lots of drinking will commence until Monday. Oooo going to be exhausted!0

Thanks Mama Lush Sorry you're not feeling well, maybe a little hair of the dog would help :drinker:
With that show Bridzillas and seeing the list of things to do for a wedding, I was kind of scared, especially since we have a short engagement. For the time being though, it seems to be coming together =}
I'm a huge fan of this new drinking plan of mine. A couple drinks and I feel relaxed and happy and with only 2 drinks, I get that great feeling and without a hangovuh the next day!
Not sure if I'll have drinks tonight but probably. Fiancé has tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday off so that's reason enough to celebrate and have drinks haha but also I cannot wait to spend the weekend with family. It's my favorite part of the holidays because I absolutely love family time I feel so blessed with the amazing family I have. Think we're going to have Stanely Steamer come tomorrow and clean our carpets before we have a big Christmas Eve dinner here. The carpets are the original with the house and we're changing some of them but not until after the wedding now, so at least we can have some of them cleaned professionally and protected which will hopefully help ward off all the messes these 5 fur babies make. 0 -
I was kinda feeling bad about my week and how I was doing.
Then I came here, and I feel so much better..lol.
Thanks lushes!! :drinker:0 -
You're right, Kate! I have no shame! Embracing my lushiness!! Looking forward the next few days!! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate)!!! :drinker: 0

As much as I was snowed out last winter because we had a freak amount and my wrists wanted to just die. I wish we were having a white Christmas, instead we had a white Halloween. Gotta love New England and our weirdo weather.
Just saw the newest Sarah Mclachlan ASPCA commercial for Christmas and just as her other one does, it had the tears streaming down my face. My heart just breaks seeing all those fur babies look so sad ='(
I look at mine and can't imagine abandoning them. I am happy to be a monthly donor but I wish others would do their part and not abandon their fur kids, or abuse them or hoard them. There are options, non kill shelter, the humane society, the ASPCA, friends, family. I'll just never understand the horrible things these poor love bugs have to deal with because of so called humane human beings.
On that note, is it time for a Christmas martini yet?0 -
christmas martini sounds about right.0

On #2 =} by the way, absolutely LOVE your pic even just pictures of pups make me happy, don't know what I'd do without my 3
Another martini oooor no? Hmmmm0 -
Sobbing. Kiera (the black one) just laid down and died about an hour ago. Shocked. She got a clean bill of health at the vet when she got her shot yesterday but she was very lethargic this afternoon and she just laid down and died. Must drink to ease the pain. 0

Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry I know how hard it is to lose a fur baby, sometimes worse than losing a human family member. However, it has to be even harder if she was given a clean bill of health :frown: Do you think the vet was wrong or will you seek some legal ways?
=( this breaks my heart. I'm so sorry RJ. It's rare I find others who love their fur kids as much as I love mine but even without meeting you, I know you definitely are one of the not so many who love their fur babies beyond words. We are all here for you
I'll have a drink in your darling sweet pups memory. I know it's hard but I try and think of them sitting in Gods lap being spoiled rotten and where the tears still stream, I can smile a little more each day thinking of all the great memories I had with them and that they are not in any sort of discomfort anymore.0
