    Feeling better today :smile: Might have something to do with the fact we finally got my car somewhat road ready so I can start driving and hopefully finally get my license! I know that is the biggest reason for this depression. As much as I love our home, being stuck here all day is driving me insane :noway:

    Hoping the fiancé doesn't have to work too late tonight so we get a chance to hang out. Family dinner tomorrow and I can't wait :smile:

    Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. :love:

    So, um, does it count as 1 if it's just one...bottle???? :D I have to say, it feels way more classy to put an empty wine bottle in the recycling than 6 beer bottles.

    I'll give my liver a rest today and tomorrow since I'm going to be boozing it up on Saturday with my old college buddies. :bigsmile:

    Shelli, I couldn't agree more. I like to put an empty bottle of wine in the recycling. My husband can take out his beer bottles. LOL

    congrats, Robin!
    Last night I had two beers, they mostly fit in with my cals. But probably drinking tonight while watching Tudors, and tomorrow at the big polo black tie ball, it is open bar and we have a hotel room so it could be dangerous!

    Love those nights though, where nobody has to worry about driving and you can both just enjoy yourself! Have fun!

    The lushes have been busy this morning.

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 1 marg, 2 flirtinis, 1 or 2 red wine
    Wednesday, 3 Tecate, 1 Miller Lite & 1 MGD

    Total: 10

    I basically emptied the fridge of beer yesterday. I couldn't just leave one by itself. What good would that do for later?

    Here's Mandy's invite picture for graduation

    Dang, it's too big!! I'll have to work on it.

    I avoided coming on here because I felt so awful after having a totally lushy weekend. I know here of all place you wouldn't judge me but still I think I was avoiding it. I have some new goals for the rest of june/all of July. I am going to attempt to only have up to 3 drinks at a time when drinking, and only have that happen 2 times a week at the most, preferably 1. This week has been good no drinks since my oober lushy sunday.

    Saturday-Tuesday-TONS
    Wednesday-0
    Thursday-0
    Friday-I have some vodka tonics in my diary, just not sure if I wanna drink tonight. I have to prep lots of food for our fathers days celebration tomorrow and a few drinks always helps me, mentally. So we'll see!!!
    Happy friday all!!!

    Kim...first of all, there is NO WAY you have a kid that is graduating HS! Second of all, she is absolutely beautiful...takes after her mom!

    Chloe, those are the best baby showers!

    Alykat, one thing you must know...we can give support, hangover cures, and high fives. So, please share about your super-lushy weekends! Some of us like to live vicariously. :laugh:

    I'm 39 today. *deeeeepsiiiiiigh*. To celebrate, I'm drinking an entire bottle of wine, and perhaps a shot or two. I have class from 9-3 tomorrow, so I can't be too hungover.

    Sunday=1 drink
    Monday=0
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=2
    Thursday=2

    Not building on those 0s BUT I have been watching cals and lost the water weight from the weekend.
    Open bar tonight, just going to try not to get an early start while having my hair done, and yet, it seems like I should...

    Hangover cures?? Do those really exist? I always feel like time is the only cure LOL
  • amysj303

    My hangover cure is Pamprin and coconut water. for some reason it seems really good at multiple symptoms.
    I think sleeping through it is the best thing, if you can. I also like ramen or won ton soup.

    happy 39th Amy (Dot)

    Kim I love the picture.

    This weekend is romantice B & B getaway. good wine and food and it looks like some long walks in the rain. Oh well still romantic.


    Last night was a bottle of white. what can I say. I have noooo will power once it is open it is consumed.


    I always try to prevent the hangover with the tons of water before or shortly after passing out * um* ...... I mean going to sleep.

    A little bit of caffeine in the morning and usually no ill effects.

    Gorgeous pic, Kim!! Our babies can't be growing up, can they? The husband had 73 videotapes we had of our son since birth and had them converted to DVD's as a b-day present for me. I'm going to watch one every day til he leaves for college *sob*

    Happy b-day Miss Dot! 40 I didn't mind..30 I absolutely freakin HATED. Enjoy! :drinker:
    Enjoy your weekend Robin!

    One glass of wine last night. Probably another tonight. Headed to the pool for some sun and exercise.
    TGIF everyone

    Last night: 0...tonight will be 0 as well...Tomorrow night...there's no telling...

    That is so sweet about the DVDs. I don't think I could watch something like that. I have only ever watched my wedding video once because I got too emotional.:cry:

    Lushy again last night and again tonight for a family dinner. Starting Sunday or Monday I definitely need to give my liver/body a break. Course then on the 29th we leave for vacation at the beach so that'll be a lushy week I'm sure.

    We're having an awesome thunderstorm right now and my tiny kitty is so intrigued :smile:

    I agree that the hangover cure is pre-sleep water, sleep, greasy food and caffeine...

    Happy Birthday, Dot :drinker: :drinker: she's my 2nd graduate....I've got 2 down and 2 to go...I don't know if you remember, Sydney and I confess to be child brides.

    Robin, enjoy the B&B...your quite the traveler these days with good reason to celebrate

    Amy, post a pic because I bet you will look stunning as usual.

    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 5
    Wednesday, 5
    Thursday, 3...somewhat respectible

    I just learned yesterday that hubs is leaving with all the kids on a weekend fishing trip. I am scheduled to work so therefore cannot go. And, I feel sorry for the fish and the worm so it's not a vacation that I enjoy. Oooooo, so exciting to be alone in the house.

    I'm feeling some early evening wine, water, greasy food and caffiene coming on.

    I've been drinking loads lately so I feel justified in calling myself a lush again, how is everyone doing and what have I missed?

    Yvonne!! Your arms are phenomenal!

    I've been lushy...3 Blue Moons at lunch with MissKortney and snw. Sister Wife bought me a bottle of yummy-looking moscato and a peach vodka shooter that we're going to do right at midnight...her bday is the 23rd.

    Thanks for the bday love, y'all!

    Happy (yesterday) birthday Amy!!!!!

    Friday-2 1/2 vodka and diet tonics
    Saturday-I'm shooting for 5 cocktails and maybe a glass of wine. I want to be moderate and actually be productive on a sunday. So my goal is 2 margaritas, 3 vodka tonics, and maybe that glass of wine. We will be at my parents all day and night, so it'll be tough not sucking down the drinks by the pool BUT I shall try, TRY I said TRY :wink:

    Have a great day everyone!!!
