    Wolf- my fiancé has talked many times about opening a restaurant. Good luck and have fun with it!

    Mama lush- hope your hubs is better soon :flowerforyou:

    Bgrune- have an awesome girls weekend!

    As for this lush:

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 2 bottles of wine with the fiancé. He's leaving his job soon and has been stressed about it for awhile. Came home last night from a business type dinner and wanted wine which is not normal for him at all so we had wine and watched mad men :smile:

    Not sure about tonight, we're making this pasta we picked up from Whole Foods with one of their yummy sauces, chicken and some bread on the side. I think some red would pair quite well with that don't you? :wink:

    Good for all you going strong on the 0's!!! :flowerforyou: Whether it's stay cation or vacation, the abstaining from booze seems hard. Looking forward to getting back to a good amount of 0's, it seems to really help with the weight loss and I think doing Insanity will help me refrain because that is so not the cardio you want to do hungover :noway:

    Hubs is on the mend but still not good. I do not feel so good today myself. I hope I didn't get whatever he had. I did enjoy a lovely bottle of rose last night. really crisp and dry. loved it.

    hmmmm, 2 glasses of wine, a beer, a 32 oz beer, 2 margs and 2 more beers...long day entertaining the Chicago peeps. I have to be a good host, right? :wink:

    I think I am getting a cold as well.

    It's wine tasting night at the wine club.

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0

    Still planning a zero for tonight. Tomorrow we are having people over so it will be my cheat meal with drinks and then Sunday its back to zero. My challenge for the next to weeks is to only have one cheat meal with drinks, being either Friday or Saturday. And actually since we are going to be at our house Saturday I am still trying to keep the meal on the healthier side. :smile:

    It is strange how the more zeros you have the easier it becomes though!

    My husband and I won't be taking a vacation this summer either, have a summer and fall wedding to attend in Austin, looking forward to those!!
    My daughter will be returning from her Australia year and wants to move to New York to find a job!!! Who does that?????? Well, kids who expect their parents to pay their rent while they are job hunting, that's who!!
    So now you know why I have to drink the "cheap" champagne!!

    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)
    TGIF lushes!

    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!

    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 :)

    4 tastings of wine last night...then, 3 shared bottles

    Tonight will be pom vodkas.

    Then, I get back on the sobriety wagon. I fell off and it ran me over.

    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:
