    *waves to the midwesters from the drab state of Nebraska*

    I'm envious, a bunch of my friends are doing a meet up in Chicago this weekend. I love that city!

    I've done well all week given how miserable we were after this weekends um, debauchery. I may have one tonight. We're scoping out new locations for our Zombie Research group to meet at. I can limit to just one, right?

    haha chloe..i remember her mentioning the prison there as well. she seemed pretty cool to me..she's got a potty mouth..but so do I....so maybe that's why I kinda liked her. I have a peter brady (chris knight) story from my college days....but I'm going to save that for another day when I've had many, many more drinks. :wink:


    wow sister..Nebraska!!...never met anyone from there. how do you like it? the husband also lived in Iowa for a while. I've travelled some on business but I'm seriously lacking any experience with the middle states.

    So of course the first DVR'd show I watch the yellow lab passes away :cry: I have a hard enough time thinking about my pups ages not to mention that my black lab was sitting right next to me so I was bawling. Crying makes me sooooo tired so I'm already ready for bed but I'm watching some more shows and soldiering on. I have always loved my fur babies more than anything in the world but now that I stay home with them all day every day I spend more time with them than anyone else. That is what makes it hard to leave them, don't get me wrong I love vacation and certainly need it since I'm stuck in a house all day every day but I really hate being away from them. However it's more I worry about if something happened to Kyle and I, what would happen to them because my mom certainly doesn't have the money to take care of all of them. I keep telling Kyle I want to set something up money wise so that if something did happen to us they would be taken care of, think he's finally understanding .... they are not pets, they are my kids :heart: God I hate that they can't be at our wedding =(

    Yep, Peter Brady's wife is from there, I watched the reality show as well. Sydney, I am holding my breath to hear the story about that one. I think Cindy Crawford is from there as well.

    My girlfriend has a house in Plainfield. I think South of Joliety. We both grew up in the city. We used to hang out in the alley's doing naughty things saying "Wow, someday we'll be like 30!" Ummmm, now we're all 45. Yikes! Half-dead now.

    Sis, oooo Zombie research...very interesting...Been to a lot of states, but not Nebraska

    Kat, come here and do laundry...I have 2 dogs and a cat you can play with...you will be fine and so will the fur babies :smile:

    Bun, at least you live in Omaha...you could be in Brainard. Feck! I was in Omaha for 4 days at the beginning of February. It as for my Grandmother's funeral, and you were MIA from here, but my sibs and I were drunk the entire time. I wish we could have gotten together!

    Bottle of red last night, got in bed early too then got up and got my bike ride done. It wasn't pretty, I did it on an empty stomach so I wasn't pushing as hard and then I almost passed out during my shower. Glad I did it though and got a good burn for the week since I won't be working out until we get back Tuesday. Fiancé said last night that Brent the guy we're going fishing with on Sunday said if it's nice we'll fish and if not then we'll just hang out and drink haha he sure doesn't need to twist my arm.

    Going to Gramma's for the day to hang out with her, mom and my best friend before the fiancé brings the pups down to my moms and then the water works will start. Then a quick packing trip, a few last minute things to get done around the house and then we're off tomorrow morning and in Bermuda before 1 O'Clock :smile:

    SoCal, meant to ask, what is the name of the sleep aid? I take Ambien and was wondering if you have something worthwhile.

    Thanks nisi =] and I know the pups will be okay, I just don't like being away from them. Guess it's separation anxiety since I'm with them all the time.

    In any case, I'm getting ready to leave and the older cat projectile vomits on the carpet ..... greeeeat. Thank the lord for my Little Green carpet cleaner however I was annoyed so I've got a bud lime.

    I understand, Kat, my cats are barfers. they barf all the time! I have tried different things to try and curb it, but to no avail. I also have the "little green machine" for pet stains...
    Last night I poured a 12 oz glass of white wine and then had a miller lite.
    So glad it is the weekend...

    I've heard that they barf from licking their fur and that vaseline helps with that....maybe it's a wives tail...IDK

    Oh, Kat, I chuckled about the bud lime...

    It's called Silenor. Apparently it's relatively new with much fewer side effects than ambien and other sleep aids.

    She said I would be much less likely to have sleep sex on this than on other sleep aids. Too bad for the husband. :glasses:

    Whoo hoo Robin! Don't worry, I lushed enough for you.

    2.5 red bull and pear vodkas...I was with Sister Wife and her friend and the kids were watching movies. I went to put Baby Girl to bed around 10 and I fell asleep in her bed until midnight...hence the 1/2 a drink. :laugh:

    What is with you people? Are we going to have to change the name of this group to the Like Minded Non-Lushes? I have been drinking, I think, every night this week starting in the afternoon. What's up with that? I am following Kat's plan and just sipping, but it's still odd. What is even more odd is my husband did a shot (okay... that time I didn't sip) with me in the afternoon and he is a fuddy duddy!

    I really am glad everyone is doing well! :flowerforyou:
