Robin, my husband would LOVE your egg nog and rum I bet! I just buy him the stuff at the store since I don't drink it.
Sat-0
Sun-2 glasses of red
Mon-probably the same?
I am DONE with my shopping and most of the wrapping. Mailed off everything that needed to go today and took care of all my errands. I think I'm in good shape to just sit back and relax until the festivities start on Christmas Eve. I *love* it when I'm this organized. I don't know what the hell came over me this year. :huh:0 -
Robin, that buttered rum recipe sounds awesome, but I know i would be the only one to drink it in this family.
Syd, when my daughter moved out, I found keeping busy dulled the empty nest depression. Not saying that's what you are experiencing or anything.
Lately I have been enjoying the candy cane vodka. I put it in my mocha cappuccino or just drink it straight. Also been indulging in wine. I can't remember how much. Oh and Rum Chata in my coffee.
It is official, I am picking up my new puppy next Monday
This is going to feel like the longest week ever.
Cheers to all those being lushy and those who are behaving :drinker:0 -
Yeah Diana, I think I got a ton done the week before he came home because I really didn't want to spend time while he was here running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I need to just enjoy him...not be in panic mode.
And woohooo...puppy time! Santa is delivering early to your house. :happy:0 -
Yay for puppies!!
I was I were done but tomorrow is the BIG push!! We had our extended family Christmas last week so all of that is said and done. Now, moving on to Part II.
Day #3
Monday is officially a zero. Hubs talked me into going to a restaurant for burgers which was a big test for me. He had vodkas and I had soda water with lime. The debate in my head was fierce beforehand.
Tuesday, 0
Wednesday, moderate
Thursday, 0
Friday, moderate

Ended up having some wine tonight...just one glass. I was craving chocolate and that always pairs well with some wine. I am totally in a funk today...not sure if its pms or just the horrific event last week and watching it all on the news, probably a mixture of both.0

Sorry I've been MIA.
I live in CT. The shooting hit home hard and there was another scare today
. It honestly makes me question bringing a child into this world. When you have to worry about elementary schools being safe it's such a disheartening/terrifying/every other kind of bad feeling. It made my already planned girls weekend seem so wrong :frown: We still had a good time but we talked about the shooting and so many other things. Now there's drama between guy friends and girl friends and I thought I was out of high school but apparently not. So ..... good but also sh*tty weekend overall.
Sitting here now with the fur babes all around, husband sleeping on the couch and just trying to relax after a day of serious housework (I clean when I'm upset or stressed).
As for lushness, it's been very apparent and won't let up until after the New Year and I'm fine with that. Worked out today and was fine with food.
Better - so sorry about your friend :ohwell: That little one along with all the little ones who lost their lives and those who now have to deal with the aftermath of the shooting are in my thoughts and prayers

Kat, I live in MN and it has hit me just as hard. I read the eulogy from the funerals yesterday. It broke my heart my heart all over and I started to cry. I am thinking that I have to stop watching the updates because it is just so hard on me. Sorry that your girls' weekend was overshadowed with this tragedy.
Also, high school never really ends until your in your 40s when you just don't really give a **** because you have other things that you need to worry about. At least, that's my perception. I hate drama at this point and choose not to engage in it or deal with it in any way.
After almost 2.5 weeks of not working out, I am off to pole class this morning. I have a laundry list of things to get done as well.
I am planning another zero for tonight. I almost buckled last night. We were sitting so close to the bar. My husband asked me why I was so quiet last night. Dumbo, don't you realize how hard it is to sit in this bar with you drinking and eating a cheeseburger without beer? So, I bought some scratchers and lost money. Beer would have been cheaper.0 -
I have been feeling pretty weepy about the Sandy Hook school, too. I think the only word that could describe their poor families is "inconsolable". How could you ever recover from such a horrific thing?!
And, on that note, I have two zeros:
Sunday=0 drinks
Monday=0 drinks
I could probably have another 0 tonight, no plans...0 -
0 for me last night. Planning on anohter 0 tonight.0

Yay for puppies. I was too hit hard by the tragedy. One hot buttered rum and on vodka neat. Haven't really been in the mood. Congrats on all the zeros. You guys are doing great.0

I had three doubles last night...Kel and I took the day off because Delaney (my 4 year old) had her preschool Christmas program at 10. So, we went to lunch with his parents and some friends afterwards, and then took a nap. Of course, I'm currently typing this from school because the husband is coaching a basketball game. Anyway, no waking up early=lushy me.
Shooting for a 0 tonight.0 -
Vanilla vodka and ginger ale tonight. Currently in bed with the fur babes enjoying our new faux silk sheets and watching tv waiting for husband/daddy to get home.0

We finally got our tree. This is the latest that we've ever put one up. It's funny that the kids are older and it's just not as magicial as it used to be. This Christmas is turning out to be so blah for me. I really need to stop watching the news, everyone has just gone crazy it seems!0 -
Monday- 5 oz red
Tuesday-0
Planning another zero for tonight!0 -

Back on track today after lots of eating/drinking at the Lakers game last night. Son's Christmas present was courtside tickets. They won!
I need to move today0 -
Husband has his work holiday party tonight so I'll probably just get in bed early again and wait for him to get home.
Congrats on all the 0's, I'm picking up the lush side of that.
Work out soon and drinks later.0 -

Wow so many zeros. You are all doing great.
Confession, It has been 6 years since I have decorated for Christmas. 6 years ago Doug and I decided to go to Cabo for Christmas. Then I was going to go visit my mom after the New Year instead of going home for the holidays. Well she passed away in the morning on 12/26. I still carry the guilt of not going home for Christmas and missing out on her last one. I don't have the heart for Christmas any more that I used to. Decorating is too hard. because most of the things I have to decorate with, my mom and I got together. She loved Christmas and decorating. We were very close, especially while I lived near home until 2000. I miss her so much and I carry so much guilt about not seeing her that year. I drink a lot during this time to kind of dull the ache. So ..... Bah Humbug!
I will decorate when and if my kids ever decide to come visit me for Christmas time.0 -
so sorry to hear that Robin! but don't feel guilty! It's understandable that you are sad you didn't see her but it's not your fault!:flowerforyou:
Today is my little sister's birthday. She would have been 32, but she died in 1988 when she was 7 and I was 12, when our family car was broad-sided by a man having an epileptic seizure. 0 -
I am so sorry rj and asjerven :frown: You're both in my thoughts and prayers 0

Tough times during the holidays for a lot of people. May you all find peace. :flowerforyou:0

Amy and Robin- so sorry for your sad memories during the holiday season, that has to be hard on both of you.
Caved again last night.
Monday- 5 oz red

Tonight who knows, I am saying zero, but I may just finish the bottle, we will have to see!0 -
Oh, Amy, I'm so sorry!
Last night we had an impromptu neighborhood party. I had 3...that were like triples. Oy.0 -

Haha at the ugly Christmas sweater
2 glasses of red last night. Had to finish the bottle after all. :drinker:0 -
Amy & Robin...sorry :flowerforyou:
Last night I came home in kind of a crappy mood and had two 1oz shots of salted caramel vodka and had 16oz of wine...I felt pretty drunk and didn't wanna wake up for my workout so I didn't
But I feel just fine today no hangover!
Tonight, I will most likely have some wine. Not sure what yet. I really wanna go out and grab a bite to eat after physical therapy, rather than cook, so we shall see 0
