Kim, well done on the hosting duties. I would expect nothing less from you.
Robin..hope you and the husband feel better soon. We need some west coast sunshine..I think that would help, don't you?
Sun-0
Mon-0
Tues-0
Wed, Thurs- 1 BIG glass of red
Probably the same tonight. Although I went grocery shopping yesterday and spent 20 minutes of my total 60 in the booze section. The manager there steered me to some really good deals..they were discontinuing a bunch of labels. I ended up with 2 bottles of red wine and 1 bottle of organic Vodka..all 50% off. Thankfully I'm not a fan of Rum or flavored Vodkas or my basket would have been even more full than it was. Hopefully I won't be tempted to try them all this weekend and can find some self moderation. (I just eye-rolled myself)

Last night I split a bottle of Chianti with 2 friends and the glasses were small so it seemed like enough, somehow.
tonight I am going to my husband's show, so will probably have three beers if I don't start drinking before then.
Tomorrow I am hosting a family get-together, fiesta-themed and making the best margaritas, they are strong. I bought a bottle of tequila in Cozumel just for this party!0 -
Change in plans for tonight....stepmom is coming over and she is in real need of a glass of wine and I can't let her drink alone, so we will probably split a bottle of pinot grigio

The margarita fairy visited my house this weekend with a new tequila (El Ultimo 100% Agave) and it was a pleasant visit. They went wonderful with the shrimp tacos topped with cilantro-lime sour cream sauce. Went way over on the calories Saturday by over 1000, tonight was better only by only 100. Shooting for 0's for the week.
The restaurant we are opening is a quick service (think Moe's or Panera). It specializes in savory hand held pies (for those who have visited the UK, kind of like a pastie) but with a totally American flair. We will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner along with dessert pies.Everything is made fresh and nothing is fried. As soon as the website is up I will post a link.
Hope my fellow lushes had a wonderful weekend :drinker: Seemed to go by way to quickly :grumble:0 -

Diana, sounds like a lovely place. I wish you the best!! If I'm ever in GA, I'll def visit. Oh, I love the tequila fairy visit....hmmm, what do I have to leave under my pillow for that one?
Shout out to Zip!! Is that really a zero on Sat? Well done.
Robin, sounds like a good weekend for you.
My peeps have gone and I was not lushy last night. Weight for some reason stayed stable despite the alcohol. I think because I traded food for liquor. I shared a meal with gf one day and just had a side salad the other. Not really a healthy way. But, it worked. Oh, I had to drag my *kitten* around the Mall of America.
I was going to take a barre yoga class at 10:45 and I am quickly changing my mind. The knee is still giving me problems. So, I am definitely keeping it low-impact.
I have to hit send on the taxes today
Seems that I don't give them enough out of our paychecks. Crooks... 0 -
I had a run on Sun so I didn't want to be dragging.0

Lushy weekend, how 'bout that. Fiancés parents are coming over tonight for his birthday dinner (birthday is Friday) so we've already had some drinks and will continue. He goes back to work Wednesday an that is when the 0's will start, maybe they'll start tomorrow but who am I kidding?0

Someone smack the hell outta me if I ever decide to order chinese food again. I just can't eat it anymore, it gave me the worst sodium hangover the entire weekend. I'd rather drink an entire bottle of vodka than feel like I do after i have chinese.
Since I felt like crap..I didn't drink at all Saturday or Sunday. I also didn't move much from the bed...except to get to the couch. :frown:
Weather is supposed to be perfect all week...might try to get back to the pool. And the vodka/pom/lemon-lime usually makes an appearance when it feels like summer. We shall see. :drinker:
Have a great week everyone!0 -

I opened a bottle of red for the pot roast. I don't think I can let that go to waste. 0 -

Tuesday, ??
I still have the bottle of wine.
The rhubarb is coming up in the yard. I have a recipe in my cooking light mag on how to make rhubarb vodka. Move over Pom, you've got some competition - or - maybe, I could make a pie? Nah, not my style...0 -
I can't wait to hear how your rhubarb vodka turns out.
So miracles do happen. I actually have a zero for Monday. And I am keeping up with my KettleWorx workout 3 days a week. Maybe I am actually getting back to it. I will have to set the habits in motion again this week since I will be on business travel all next week ending with a full blown blowout weekend at the Renn Faire (SoCal Rennaissance Pleasure Faire where I lived my life as an ale wench for 10 years) I can't wait and there will be lots of drinking.0 -

Robin is that in Irwindale? I've never been but the husband used to work up there years ago.
I had vodka last night. I'm headed to the pool in a bit. Beautiful day here.0 -
LOOK @ all the 0's
Well, hubs is hoping to get an offer from the interview he just went on...then, hopefully, his boss will give him a "package" to leave. So, if this works it, it could be nice. Otherwise, he geta a new boss next week from the "re-organization" and probs no package. He need to get out of there asap. The company is CRAZY.
It's enough to DRINK...0 -
Last day of the fiancés days off :ohwell: Went out to lunch then came home, had beers on the deck and read. Staycation isn't so bad when you have awesome outdoor furniture, great weather, cold drinks and good company to hang out with (fiancé and fur kids) Fiancé has earnings soon so for about 2 and a half weeks he'll pretty much be MIA. Should be starting with 0's tomorrow and I'm hoping to stay strong while he has earnings. Good for all of you lovelies with 0's :flowerforyou: 0

Enjoy your day everyone!0 -
So there I was, in the kitchen cooking dinner, when out of nowhere a bottle of white wine miraculously got opened and I proceded to drink the whole damn thing. (it was really good) so much for zeros. I couldn't even get my butt up and workout this morning.
Yes the Faire is in Irwindale. When I worked it , it was over in Glen Helen next to the BlockBuster Pavillion. I am fortunate to have some suppliers I have to fly down to assess in So Cal so it worked out to be right around faire time.:laugh:0 -

Even went out to dinner last night and just had water with lemon....big accomplishment!0
