    I just can't seem to find my way back to a routine. i think it's because the husband and kid are home. Yup..I'm going to blame it on them.

    But I also..just cleaned out the fridge of the honey baked ham..prime rib...and dips and crap that I've been munching on that normally wouldn't give the time of day.
    And I cleaned up the decorations. Usually we leave them up for New Years since we have a party..but this year we are going out of town so I want to come home to a "clean" house....new beginnings and all that.
    New Years will be lots of lushiness..but the food isn't too caloric. Lobster and clams. YUMMMM.

    I haven't even perused the website forums...lots of newbies I bet!!

    Happy New Year to my favorite MFP group!!:drinker:

    YAY! I love to walk all around Lajolla. Although if you prefer a bit more relaxed vibe might i suggest my neighborhood of Del Mar? Just a bit further north...very beachy and sooooo many great shops and places to eat as well. (LOL...You can't really go wrong with any beach town you hit. But I work for the Del Mar Chamber sometimes and I would be remiss if I didn't say that. :wink: )
    I'm glad you're feeling better.
    And your avi pic is wonderful.

    I am hoping to continue on the sobriety path tonight. I took care of a 31-year alcoholic yesterday, yellow with jaundice. His future on his current path is 96% mortality. Dang!! I think I was probably in the 50s/60s for the past month.

    I was eliminated from my contest today....BOOOOOO...there are only 6 players left; so, it should be done the end of January.

    Last night at dinner, it was Italian and I just had to have the calzone and a half bottle of red zin, and it came in a small bottle, so cute!
    I think tonight I will be sober. Hoping to sleep better than last night.

    Hi all! I am glad to see this time of year isn't only effecting me LOL I have been drinking like a fish for the past few weeks. This week I only had a few glasses of wine here or there but I have parties tonight, Fri, Sat & Sun. Ooof! I am sure there will be more wine in my future! After New year's I will cut way back. I have to if I ever want to loose weight again!

    I second Del Mar is my fave!

    So after my tossed post, I've been sick, so I've been staying lush-free. Hubs and I usually have a "kid-friendly" NYE party, and we'll probably have it this year as well. The kids one in their jammies, the adults drink, drunken Wii Dance usually happens...it's really fun, even though I didn't make it past 10:30 last year.

    Glad you're having a good time and hope you're holding up in regards to your pup. I finally came across a video of animal abuse that I couldn't even press play on. I normally watch them if they come across my news feed or some other way so that I can respectfully sign a petition against it, or otherwise I feel I'm turning a blind eye. However the description of this video and just seeing the still image of the video brought me to tears. It was a woman in Brazil that beat a yorkie to death :cry: she punched him, kicked him and threw him against the wall. He died 2 days later of a broke body. All she got was a fine and community service. It absolutely disgusts me and I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I hope she gets the *kitten* beaten out of her so she knows what that poor little pup felt. Hopefully he's now in pup heaven being spoiled and loved but even that thought doesn't make his terrible story any less heart breaking. I broke down twice today just thinking about it and I've been thinking about it all day. All I could do was just hug my fur babies close and hope they feel how much I love them. People like her have no place on this earth and its cases like these that shake my faith in god. I know you're supposed to forgive and give people second chances but she does not in any way deserve either of those, ever.

    Sorry about the downer post, it just really affected me.

    3 spiked hogs tonight, trying to get rid of it before the 1st because I am certainly not wasting nog since I won't get to have it again until after our wedding. I am however looking forward to getting back to the healthy train and losing these lbs. Even though others say I'm in fine shape as is, I'm short and I feel huge right now. I have a small frame so that combined with being around 5' 2, anything above 115 shows and I feel it. My pants are tight and that's especially how I know that the holidays got to me. I could have worked out and maybe prevented some of those pounds but oh well, I enjoyed my time off and look forward to getting back on track.

    Having our Christmas party tomorrow, have 4 platters of food and we'll have plenty of booze. Friends will probably just spend the night and make a weekend New Years party out of it which was the plan anyway. Should be a good time.

    I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I just haven't been on here lately. As with some people, this is not the cheeriest time of the year for me.

    Been good for the first two weeks of December, but slowly slide to lushy-ness the last two weeks. And there is this weekend, oh boy!

    Here's to a fantastic New Year for my fellow lushes! Cheers!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
