Happy April fools day.

April is a raining month and I like to drink in the rain. (who are we kidding, I like to drink in any weather)

I hope April is a great month for you all.

    So yesterday I broke a rule of mine and actually bought a box of wine. It wasn't bad. I just felt like sipping wine all day and it sure is convenient for that. Starting the day off with irish cream in the coffee.

    I meet all the managers tomorrow morning so wish me tons of luck dear friends.

    Happy lushing.

    Robin, Bodi boy and Ritter bit.

    bumping!!

    Lushy again last night...but, I am aiming for zeros all week

    I've never really bought a box of wine before. I imagine it's very cost effective and saves on recycling.

    Went to my friends party where there was an unlimited supply of wine.....my pregnant friend said I got a little stumbly towards the end of the night. A little embarrassing, but on a surprising not I feel pretty good today!

    Back to zeros until Thursday, we are having people over for tilapia tacos, so that calls for some margaritas I'm sure :drinker:

    Happy April lushes!

    Goodness kim.....your night out was a disaster! Hope your weekend has been better.
    I went out yesterday and only had 2 margaritas but got toasted! I dunno what was in those things but the husband was bombed too! Thank god the son was our designated driver. Driving home your drunk parents...that should rank up there as tops for every kid, eh?
    So yesterday was a total wash...back at the exercise today. If the rain holds out, we may grill too.

    Good luck on the job, robin! :drinker:

    So, I re-injured my knee again. I tried to jog on Friday and now I have a purple spot on my knee again. I am going to have to stick with the low impact stuff for a while longer. I really f'd it up and didn't really realize how bad it was. Of course, I'm not going to a doctor 'cause I'm a nurse and think I know everything.

    SoCal, I think you taught your son a good lesson about having a designated driver. :wink:

    Nisi that sounds like a terrible night :ohwell: hope your knee feels better soon!

    Good luck mama lush! I actually like box wine, I usually get The Big Green Box ... yes, that's the name.

    Chloe, can't go wrong with unlimited wine.

    I had wine last night and was doing great having water on the side and then apparently it just hit me and I don't remember the end of the night. Had a good time though, we had one of our couple friends over and played cards. This coming weekend is going to be insanely lushy. Going to the Funny Bone Thursday with 1 or a few girlfriends, Friday celebrating one of the fiancés best friends 30th birthday which is actually Sunday but for obvious reasons we're having the party Friday. Saturday we're having a going away party for another of the fiancés best friends who is moving to Chicago. Phew, my liver hurts already. I said 0 for today but who knows, a couple glasses of wine to take the hangover edge off would be nice and we just happen to still have the box of red from the engagement party that we need to use up :wink: Not sure I'll be eating since we went to a local Mexican place so I am still full of nachos and enchiladas :smile: So why not have some liquid calories! :drinker:

    Rest week this week so I'll ride the bike each day which will be a nice calorie burn for the week. Then I'll start another round of P90X next week, I have enough time before the wedding for 2 more rounds which is good.

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful April Fools day :devil:

    Hello Lushes! Been awhile since I've been here but I'm back in action now. We're going for 4 non lushy days this week and then it is DH's big birthday weekend! Friday Saturday and Sunday, I think I should go ahead and take Monday off work just to be safe. :laugh:

    Daaaaaaaaaaaave - as in Cheers Norm voice

    Mama Lush, well.....how did it go?

    Guess who had a zero last night? me me me me!!!

    Monday, 0

    I am aiming for low, low number this week. My weekend hours changed to 7A to 7P Friday, Saturday & Sunday and that leaves little time for naughty behavior. Although, I usually find a way around it though :ohwell:

    I am actually pretty proud of myself for having 5 zeros last week!!!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday- 3/4 bottle of cab
    Friday-0
    Saturday- lots of wine and 1 amstel lite
    Sunday-0

    This week will be a little tough bc I have off work Friday so we are having people over Thursday night and also I know I will probably have some drinks Sunday at my husbands grandmas. So there probably wont be 5 zeros next week.

    Robin, good luck, and welcome to box wine;) what kind did you get?

    I had my first zero in over a month!
    Sunday=0

    Friday I had two beers at happy hour and went home and drank but I don't remember what.

    Saturday I split a bottle of red, then I had a rum and coke, and three beers at a show, one more on the walk home.

    Wine last night and it was one of those kinds of hangovers where I had a decent amount of wine but really just felt tired and no hangover today. Sometimes if I drink with a hangover it takes all of maybe 1 or 2 glasses of wine before it hits me. Weird.

    Back to 0 today. I might try and not have drinks at the comedy club on Thursday but we'll see what happens. There will be lots on Friday and Saturday and Sunday we're going out for Easter brunch so we'll see about drinks.

    Hello, hello, hello, fellow lushes!!! I have been very MIA lately...we just bought our first house & moving & everything has been crazy. Needless to say, I've been super unhealthy. Oops. I intended to go to the Y tonight, but I think that I'm going to stop by the liquor store, buy some beer....and go home & do my kickboxing DVD. The KU game starts at 8:23 & I need to be all settled in to watch my Jayhawks kick some *kitten* (hopefully!).

    Anyway, happy April!! Can't believe spring is already here!

    I do that as well...then, I wonder why I do that.

    Bgrune...congrats on the new home...give details!! It's Kentuky that you are from, right? It's one of my favorite states to visit.

    Kate, I just had Pineapple soaked vodka on ice and that was really good. They soak it was 2 weeks. Here's my cosmo recipe: 2 shots kettleone, 1 shot triple sec, 1 shot fresh lime juice, splash of cranberry - or - pomegranite juice served with an orange slice. If they are too strong, do 1 shot vodka and 2 shots triple sec.

    Robin, I hope you kicked some interview *kitten*.

    New to this group.. someone suggested I join after an "I love beer" conversation I started. Last week was bad... I drank almost every evening out of stress and boredom pretty much. Usually it is only Thursday and Saturday evenings but got a little crazy last week. I am attempting to drink much less this week... not going to hold my breath though, I am already craving a BEER!

    Blah, fiancé still isn't home and I'm starving. Trying to stop myself from getting a glass of wine but it would really help with this insane hunger since it suppresses my appetite.
