    So tonight I went to teach a sculpting class at this independent gym that is affiliated with a church (not sure what denomination, it doesn't really matter) but it is not a big known fitness center. They have always treated me very kindly and I have a small following of members. While I am leaving the manager, who is always cordial and smiling asks to talk to me and informs me that she is canceling my class to try a different format (Zumba) in that time slot. Okay...I understand that...so I ask if I work till the end of the month, the next two weeks? She says tonight was my last night. I let her know it would have been nice to have some warning so I at least could have said goodbye to my regulars. I have some couple of their emails, but I feel bad that I will not be able to contact the others. What a lame *kitten*!

    Wine tonight....

    Diana, what a crock of bull. Why would they change something when you have a following? Why exactly did they need your slot? I really starting to not like people with egos more and more.

    Well, I did my elliptical and I think I sweat tequila...oy vay...I should have licked it :tongue:

    Tomorrow, is wine club night...California it is. Although I have to say I am a fan of the mendoza region of Argentina which was last month. I am ready for the butter-chardonnay-gorgonzola pasta. A night of indulgence for sure.

    I 2nd SoCal, not very church like :indifferent:

    Lit a Fall candle because the scents of Fall always make me feel better (favorite season). I may just go up to bed and pop in either Hocus Pocus or Nightmare Before Christmas or Halloween Town and fall asleep (Halloween is my favorite holiday). Actually, my shows are over so that's exactly what I'm going to do =]

    Sunday-Thursday----zeros

    Original plan was no drinks tonight, but I don't think I will make it until tomorrow. ****ty start to my day.....power went out at like 2AM cause of the storm, hubby is in DC helping his brother move this week, so its just me and the dog, so I was freaked out, power was still out this morning and we have a well, so the water stopped half way through my shower and then no coffee bc no power, then I step in a puddle getting out of my car to walk into this hellhole I call work. Let's just say thank god it is Friday! And I WILL be having a drink tonight!

    Kim - I hope Ron's US Bank interview goes well. :bigsmile: both of my daughter work for them, Holly for 6.5 years and Brie for 2 years.
    Chloe - hope the day gets better. :flowerforyou:
    Kblue- I can relate to the just not knowing when to quit. that word doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary. :noway:
    Wolf - that totally blows:explode: about your class and them not giving you any notice.
    Sydney- you are my kind of lush. I love pix of vodka bottles. :love:
    Kat - I think wine instead of dinner is always good. :drinker:
    bgrune - I hope your back is better.

    Okay so I had vodka diet lemon sunkists last night. tonight I am making citrus pork tacos with carmelized root vegies so I haven't decided what beverage will go well with it. But I am sure I will find something since it is FRIDAY!!!!!!

    Have a great day my freinds.

    Love that sign! However, quite honestly, I'm kind of ready for Mother's Day to pass. My Mom passed away 10 years ago, so Mother's Day is always really hard for me. I will definitely be drinking on Mother's Day, no doubt about that one.

    Awww, thanks all. I didn't mean to be a Debbie Downer. LOL.

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. My hubby had the night off last night (it was a surprise), and now he may have the night off tonight too. When he came to bed last night, he said his back was really hurting him. I'm starting to think hurt backs are contagious in this house! We're both down for the count.

    I lost my mom too bgrune..I know how ya feel. It helps when you become a mom yourself, the day becomes a bit more bearable.

    I had a big fat 0 last night..but that's because I was a hungover mess. :noway: at my age, you'd think I'd learn the meaning of moderation.
    marinating skirt steak for carne asada to be grilled tonight..along with sweet corn. making homemade salsa and guacamole. i have my SIL's homemade tortillas. husband is picking up plenty of beer...which I don't drink, so maybe I will have wine?
    Gotta get a work out in before all this, for sure.

    Feliz cinco de mayo, mis amigos!!

    Happy Cinco de Mayo Lushes!

    Yesterday my daughter came over and we had a bake-fest and made a couple of awesome Margarita cream pies. They came out so pretty and tasty too. I thought I would share, well virtually at least. This way you don't have to work off the calories :wink: . The bottom is a pretzel crust, the middle a creamy margarita flavored cheesecake and the top is like a jello shot!

    Mama Lush - Love the sign!

    SoCal & bgrune - Sorry about your mums, that must be hard.

    Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend!
