Almost skipped my work out but then thought about the wine I'll be having with a friend while watching SATC so I hopped on the bike and "earned" me some wine and maybe some cheese and chocolate.0

Awwww, guys, sad stories...Robin, you can honor your mother by sending your kids one decoration a year...that is, if you are willing to share them.

Hoping to make the goal of 10 this week. At least, the scale is moving back down. I really want to make a good impression at the MDs at the end of February.0 -
Didn't mean to be such a downer. Sorry. So one more day until the winter break. one nice thing about working for Boeing. just sipping on vodka and not being crazy.0

Hope your break helps, Robin. They decided not to shut down my husbands office this year. Azzholes!0

Sorry for the sad stuff lushes. :flowerforyou:
I've drank most nights this week, but moderately, so like I always say, victory! My husband and I have shared a bottle pretty much every night. Get it in before the big Just Say No January, right?! Tonight is fancy dinner with my three oldest girlfriends; (2 have been my BFFs for 23 years and the other for 19 years). Most likely I'll drink too much when it's all said and done.0 -
Ended up going out to dinner last night YAY!!! Had a flight of beer and then we split a delicious Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine when we got home. Lenny made a crucial error...we were watching tv and he fell asleep with his glass in hand and the couch got the end of his beer...geez I would have drank it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight I will be doing some christmas eve prep...sugar cookies, beer dip, vinaigrette for my green beans, cutting up veggies for the veggie platter....and putting together my parents alcohol-inspired gift basket. I went to a local winery and pick up some nice wines, got some champagne mustard, some zinfandel salsa, merlot chocolate cherries, wine jellies and also sticking in a nice bottle of bourbon...I wish I could keep all that stuff for myself, haha!!!!!!!!!0 -
Very lushy week so far and I am sure the weekend will be even worse!
Monday- 5 oz red
Tuesday-0
Wednesday- 15 oz red
Thursday- 20 oz red
Tonight I am not sure, may go out for dinner to our new favorite local restaurant, if so I will probably have a couple cocktails. If not, then I will probably finish the bottle of wine that is open. Tomorrow we have a family Christmas party and then a friends annual Christmas party. Sunday will be a detox and cleaning day, we are having Christmas Eve at our house, so I will be a busy girl.0 -
Kate, be sure to send a basket this way. :bigsmile:
Robin, glad that you are going to have a nice break from the evil boss
Sydney, hubs job sounds awful, what's so important that you have to work on Christmas? I hope that he is getting some quality time with the son.
I am sick and called in ill to work today. This has been a bad year for colds and viruses for me. I am ready to begin 2013. I will send hubs out into the masses to finsh some stuff and I will get the house ready.
I'm thinking a glass of wine or two...not too crazy since I'm not feeling well.0 -
More red wine last night. I ended up pouring a glass back in the bottle so I could have another breadstick at dinner. Have I mentioned that I love bread as much as alcohol?
Like Katie, I'll be doing some shopping/prep today for my Xmas Eve dinner. I need to get my lists going.
Kim, the husband is off on Christmas (but is on call). In the past his company (like Boeing where Robin works) would actually close down their facilities and give the employees the time between Christmas and New Years off. The husband's company since being bought out, is no longer doing that. Which makes no sense, since what they do supports Boeing. It sucks. His boss did give him several days around New Years off, so we will be taking off to our usual festivities at my cousins house at the beach. Lobster and clams...lots of games and way too much alcohol. Its a 2-3 day ordeal.
Hope you feel better Kim. The rest of you lushes..keep on keepin on! :drinker:0 -
Thursday=3 beers. Not too bad...
We leave early in the morning to spend Christmas with my mom and sister in upstate NY, so I probably won't be checking in, so happy holidays to all the lushes-
May your days be merry and bright and may all your christmases be white, or red or vodka if that's your preference:)0 -
The grocery store wine/alcohol dude walked up to me today to let me know they're going to stop carrying Effen vodka. That's the bad news. The good news its on a fantastic reduced clearance price.
Is it bad that he knows I love Vodka and this particular brand? :drinker: This isn't some ma and pa shop. Its a freaking Safeway grocery store.0 -

I tried those breathe right strips last night and they really help. They don't really add to my alluring sexiness tho.
Sydney, funny story about the Safeway man
Amy, have a safe and happy holiday with your family.0 -
I think my tolerance is ridiculously high right now...good thing to have to get through the holidays but bad for my liver! Day one of my 11 days off!
Last night I had an amazing margarita at our fav Mexican place, then 3 beers at the bar after and a glass of red when we got home and I didn't even have a buzz really!0 -

Scary!!
I stuck with my 3 yesterday and there's a max of 2 planned for tonight which brings me to 10.0 -
I'm a little hung over. Not sure how many vodkas I had.
Spending the day at the salon getting purty. That'll be nice.0 -
Day 1 of 11 day break!
Evil boss showed an ounce of humanity yesterday. At first when I mentioned to her that all my friends from my previous position were being allowed to leave at noon(common little happy holiday from the managment) she told me I could leave early if I wanted to use my vacation time to do so. so I just kept working. Then at 12:40 she stood over my desk and said "you can go ahead and leave" So I did!
Then I get home and I get all sad about all my girls being in vegas for christmas and not me. (daughters and granddaughter)
My husband is so sweet. He was willing to buy me a ticket to go see Holly, Brie and Olivia next week because I was so sad about not being with them for Christmas. But then I looked at how much it would cost and I decided it would be better to fly down for a weekend near Olive's first birthday. It will cost about $300 less and I can then spend money on Olivia! The fact that he was willing to was so sweet but I don't feel right spending that much money for a day or two on short notice. I love that he thought about doing it. And now I am not as sad about not being there because I know I can be there next month.
I made a double batch of eggnog last night (half a gallon) so I will be happy all holiday.
Happy Lushing all!!
Feel better Kim.0 -
Robin - What a sweet hubby you have
Syd - You purty lush!!!! Your story made me laugh that you are probably known at Safeway as the Effin vodka lady :laugh:
Kim - My husband uses those breath strips all the time, helps him not snore. But the last one he tore off took off some skin on the bridge of his nose...sexy indeed!
Chloe - Wow ...that's all
I keep forgetting what I drank. I know I didn't drink the last two nights and I think I had a couple of glasses of chardonnay the night before that and that is all the memory I have without looking back at my food log.
I am procrastinating baking even though I need to. Maybe a drink will help me get moving. Going to check out my liquor stash now...Later lushes!0 -
Hubs and I got to leave work at 11:30. We went home, had a cocktail and went to Chili's for some pre-shopping lunch. It happened to be happy hour, so I had 2 margs with salt. Yum! Later I had a vodka/Fresca and a beer. Ahhhh. I love winter break.0

I am super duper jealous of everyone's extended holiday hiatus. Tomorrow is a 12, Monday is 8 and Tuesday is 8 as well. It's my holiday to work and hospitals never shut down. Well, unless they go broke that is. Tuesday is 2.5 time pay so it's almost worth it.
The shopping is done, the gifts are wrapped and I'll await all the various CC bills that will roll in.

50% more than I wanted to drink and about 50% less than last week...so I am looking at it like a win, win.
Tomorrow is an easy 8 hours. I WILL not be cancelled even if I am warm and cozy in my bed and they call at 5:15 in the AM and offer it. I just went over all my bills and I need to work every hour to pay those suckers OFF.
I'm exhaused and planning a good night's sleep.
Merry Lushmas to all. :flowerforyou: I hope you all get a big planted one under some mistletoe. 0 -

I still need to shop for Doug. I haven't been in the mood. eggnog in my coffee this morning and then i hit it hard. shop, cook, color hair, visit my dad for xmas eve, come home and butter up the huge turkey I got for free at thanksgiving.
As Kim said Merry Lushmas!!!!:drinker:0 -
I'm in bed still caffeining up for the day. I got a ton done yesterday prep wise for the big dinner tonight. Just need to pull it all together. Tamales, Prime Rib, Honey Baked Ham, and plenty of sides. I'm usually fairly tired of all the food and don't enjoy it until its in left over form but I will be partaking in several cocktails once everything is in the oven and ready to go.
Happy Lushmas to you all!0 -
Sydney...love tthat you are still in bed. Somehow, staffing screwed up and I was cancelled today. I have it all straightened out but I was prepared to argue at 5 in the morning.
So, now, I am cleaning the house and getting ready for the holiday. I am getting very crabby because everyone's crap is everywhere. Pick up your **** people!! I know I'm amazing but I don't want to be the one to do it all!!0 -
Sun - 3 drinks0

I'm a 1/4 Xanax and a vodka Red bull down. The holidays stress me the fluck out.0

Dot, I went to bed at 830 and woke up at 1000 this morning.
Work called and cancelled me at 5 this morning. I didn't have the energy to fight with them so I chose to stay off. Paycheck will suck for sure.
I've decided that I look like a troll with the nasal strip on, good thing I don't have purple hair.
Merry Lushiness to all.
Monday, 1 bottle of champagne mixed with OJ for mimosas and 2 glasses of wine. I don't even think I finished the wine since I was just exhausted.0
