    I was good this weekend...I had 2 glasses of wine on Friday, a half a glass to wash down my Tramadol (horrible headache!) on Saturday, and nothing on Sunday and Monday. Husband has been dry since March 3rd...I'm so proud of him!!

    Robin, sounds like you got what I got. I haven't had a drop to drink in days because of this damn bug. I also don't feel like eating..so I've managed to drop a few lbs..the hard way.
    I miss exercising very much.
    The fever has broke however, so I hope to be on the road to recovery.

    Wolfie..your puppy is so freakin adorable!! :love:

    Fri-0
    Sat-0
    Sun-0
    Mon-0
    Tues-0 again...maybe by this weekend I'll be ready to drink?

    miss you lushies! :drinker:

    Sitting in a hotel in the Stockyard in Ft Worth Texas.. I woke up this morning feeling sick:sick: (sore throat headache and chills) then had a lovely 4 hour plane ride (where the guy next to me dumped his coffee on my leg:grumble: ) still feeling like crap.:angry: Had an awesom texas steak dinner with all the really bad for me trimmings:blushing: . I think I am running a low grade fever or I am having one seriously long running hot flash :mad: so I just don't feel like drinking. Monday will be a zero. :bigsmile:
    Did you mean Courtyard? hope you feel better. I have allergies, I was up all night sneezing and blowing my nose. Claritin didn't seem to help for awhile.
    Last night I had the rest of the box red wine, it was a pretty good glass.

    OMG what a weekend. LOL heres a tip never play drinking games if your drinking Vodka and they are drinking Beer. It's an unfair battle (though I still won)........ How ever nothing to drink last night and probably will not drink tonight.

    Well, I already f'd up my plan by having 3 Stellas with hubs today. I think I have a problem.

    Then, I came home and called stafffing to pick up hours to help curb potential lushiness. Responsibility usually will curtail lushiness.

    Tuesday, 3
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, ???, swing with Ron makes me thirsty
    Friday, 0, picked up a shift and hopefully don't get cancelled
    Saturday, 8, anniversary & SPD, smashed fo' sure
    Sunday, eat like *kitten* recover, right?

    Total: 14

    I have to remain lush-free until Saturday, I'd like to not go over 22 for the week. Man, it's such a big number even tho it doesn't seem like it to me. I picked up a shift on Friday from 3 to 11 and Sunday from 3 to 7. That should hold me a bit more accountable.

    Sunday=2 drinks
    Monday=3 drinks

    Well, at least you lushies are making me feel better:bigsmile: last week all your 0s were making me feel so lushy. Now I feel so restrained.

    Probably have 3 drinks tonight for watching Dexter.

    Me too even though hubs was home for the evening and he was drinking in FRONT OF ME! - how rude, but I kept everything under control and I even had extra calories. We had chicken enchiladas last night and I sooooooooooo wanted a margarita!

    Great job - gonna try for another zero tonight, but tomorrow is another story...

    Ladies who love margaritas, I've been making "nearly virgin" margs this week with the nice weather -- I make a "pitcher" by using 8 ounces of lite margarita mix (the kind that does not contain alcohol, only 20 calories for 8 ounces!), add some fresh lime and orange juice, add .5 ounce tequila (barely any calories, maybe 30?), and pour over crushed ice and shake. YUM and I don't feel deprived at all!!! And it takes me a couple of hours to sip on them. I also may add some sparkling flavored water to them, like the pink grapefruit one I have on hand at all times. Cheers:drinker:

    That sounds good except for the .5oz...didn't you mean 1.5?

    Seriously! at least 1.5! Plus I wouldn't sip that..it would be gone in minutes.
    Now beer and wine I can sip.
