    Sydney, you made me chuckle with that one. It will be gone before you know it.

    Yea, Kat!!

    Monday, 4.5 beers
    Tuesday, 12'ish at the state fair (IDK)
    Wednesday, 0 - good self control at the restaurant
    Thursday, 0 - exhaustion set in with sobriety
    Friday, 3 beers
    Saturday, 1 of ??? (4) vodkas/sodas
    Sunday, ??? casino lushy night

    Running total: 20.5

    So, uber lushy week for me. It doesn't seem like I have a problem. But, maybe, I do. Summer drinking is definitely harder to control.

    My friends and family threw me a surprise bridal shower yesterday :heart: it was so fabulous. The only part I didn't like was sitting in front of everyone to open gifts, I don't like all attention on me :blushing: But they all got Kyle and I great gifts even though they didn't know what they should get us. I had such a great time having champagne all day with friends and family, felt very loved :smooched: Didn't drink when we got home and headed to bed at 10:45 so that's why I'm up so early. Not sure what the plans are today but I definitely need my bike ride, feeling poofy today.

    Ahhhhh...it's September and I am going to be year older this month :frown: and Kat is getting married :bigsmile: and Sid is going to lose the five pounds she gained on vacay :wink: and Kim is going to come to the conclusion about her lushy ways :huh: and fall leaves are going to fall and drinks are going to be had by most in this group!

    I have worked my butt off today scrubbing floors and cleaning, now I am sitting down listening to 70's classic rock with a tequila drink.

    Yesterday we took Callie to a Dixie dock diving event. She did not participate, but I wanted to check it out to see what it was about. She had fun socializing with other four-legged creatures and humans too. Not sure if she would be up to jumping though. Here is a website if you are interested in seeing what it is. Under each category there is a video that shows them jumping, amazing dogs!

    Better get my butt back in gear and finish cleaning.

    I don't know what is up with me but I am feeling so damned lazy. I just don't want to do anything.

    I have been a lazy bum all day today too! Drank way too much wine last night. Thinking of loading up on some greasy not so good for me food this evening :wink:

    Went to Margaritas for lunch, had 2 tall bud lights, a few chips with salsa then pulled pork taco salad with no cheese and a few bites of rice and beans. Stopped at the package store to get booze and came home and hopped on the bike for 2 hours. Haven't had anything else, don't feel like booze at the moment :noway: Fiancés friends mentioned a power hour but he doesn't want to go anywhere and I certainly don't want to so he told them they could come here. I would not participate but maybe I'll feel like a beverage in a bit, we shall see!

    Robin - Ritter is getting so big. How old is he and how much does he weigh now?

    He is almost 10 months old.and about 65 pounds. He still has a little growing to do to catch up to Bodi (85-90lbs depending on his activity level ) He is starting to get the hang of things but he still has really really bad moments. Last weekend he pulled a 6 inch by 3 inch peice of drywall off the wall for no good reason. :mad:

    Ended up having some beers with the fiancé but wasn't really feeling it so I stopped. Had a turkey grinder no cheese, no mayo, with a bit of oil n vinegar and hot peppers for dinner. Headed to bed shortly after that, in bed before 11 and asleep a bit after that :smile: Fiancé is home today but I'm going to go about my routine and get my work outs and house work done.

    Happy holiday lushes :drinker:

    stomach is not good. After a greyhound yesterday morning I had nothing the rest of the day. I still don't feel well. It feels like when I get really stressed and I think it has to do with work. I can't sleep and I keep dreaming about work when I do. I think I am a little over loaded and I will have to work on getting a handle on it. I like the job its just I feel so busy all the time and like I will never get it all done. I need to clean today. catch you all later.

    Diana, I checked out that website and I loved the part where you can't throw anything alive or anything thats been alive. I think my border collie would like that except that he is kind of lazy. Oh, I'm another year older this month as well. The big 46, closer to 50 than 40. The age where things start to creep up. :cry: Plus, I will never come to a conclusion about this lushiness. :noway:

    Kat, sounds like the bridal shower was wonderful. Was Kyle in on the the surprise?

    Robin, you do sound like you have a lot on your plate. Can you delegate?

    Zip, I def think your numbers are higher when *team loses* :wink:

    Sydney, is boy at college yet? :cry:

    Super duper uber lushy last night...possibly obnoxious, possibly funny, definitely toasted :ohwell:

    Monday, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT ALCOHOL!!

    Hope things lighten up for you soon Mama Lush and that you feel better.

    Nisi, Kyle was in on it :smile: Apparently it was a little last minute but you never would have guessed. There were decorations, a mimosa bar, full spread of food, gifts neatly wrapped, a special chair just for me and bridal games to boot! Definitely made me feel special :smooched:

    So it's the holiday and it's weird but I always get more done when the fiancé has a holiday off. He's up cleaning the office and I've already vacuumed all the rugs including the stairs, mopped and swiffered the hard floors, cleaned the cat boxes and the their bathroom and am now going to pick up the basement and get the laundry started. I can't wait til it's all done and I can relax with a drink :drinker: Probably one of the many beers we bought but maybe I'll get some mixers and have a couple stiff drinks, I love how relaxed those make me.

    Ok, I'm off to more cleaning!

    8 weeks til Halloween so I need to get some 0s, but I will ease into it. For now, I am only eating and drinking 10am-8pm. So that should limit the drinking some. When I start to go lower carb, I will limit drinks to twice a week.

    I'm still in a crap mood post Maui :grumble:

    The husband is out of town this week on business which means I will eat well, possibly drink more. Although I haven't felt like drinking. I also haven't felt like exercising..which would help my mood, I'm sure. I may try to get back to it today.
    The son is still home...got about 2 more weeks. Most of his buddies have left already so that means he's actually spending time at home with his mama. :heart:
    Leaving town this weekend to visit my cousin. Sort of a farewell party for the kid..so lots of partying to be had there.

    That's about it. Sorry for the foul mood and lack of contact with you MFP pals. I'll turn this frown upside down at some point.

    Amy, :heart: IT!! must ease

    Sydney, I would be crabby as well. Reality sucks!! Have fun with the family and enjoy the boy. It's a hard time right now.

    Happy September! My birthday month also.

    I had a 0 Friday, 3 glasses of wine Saturday, about 5-6 glasses of wine and an Ashley Palmer on Saturday, and had 2 beers and an Ashley Palmer on Sunday. Not too bad. Drank a little more than I intended on Sunday, but for a holiday weekend, did surprisingly well. We'll see what this week brings. I have a late meeting tomorrow night which always makes me want a drink when I get home, my husband goes to Phoenix early Friday morning, so we'll most likely have a dinner out Thursday night, and my parents are coming in town this weekend and they typically bring bottles of wine. So we'll see.

    Beers with the fiancé last night and he ordered pizza. I got a load of veggies on my side and only had one piece and one chicken wing. Got some of the gifts from my shower taken care of today and as soon as I dry fold and put away the load of wash that's in the washer then all the laundry is done! Think I'm going to go put in 2 hours on the bike. Not sure what we'll do for dinner but I'm thinking something nice and healthy if I'm hungry, not sure about drinks.

    Kim-I don't think you should have too :wink:

    Nothing last night....even though I had it preplanned but just wasn't feeling it.
    Tonight-I have wine planned but I am still kind of recovering from the weekend so it might be zero....we'll see!!!
