Dear Mama Lush,
My feelings are not hurt if you need a break from me. I will always be your friend and will wait for the day when we reunite.
Vodka
I broke my streak last night with 2 flirtinis, a large beer and a bailey's with coffee. I was a cheap date.0 -
Kim you did awesome!!!!
Vodka cornered me again last night. moth to a flame

For Dot (and anyone else)
Kahlua recipe:
Makes 1/2 gallon
4 Cups Vodka
4 Cups Brandy
4 Cups Distilled Water
8 Cups Sugar
2 21 oz jars instant coffee (my moms recipe which is very old says Spice Island Antigua Maxim...not sure if its even available any more?)
2 Vanilla Beans
Mix sugar and coffee. Blend thoroughly. Bring water to boil and pour over sugar and coffee mix. When sugar is dissolved stir in vodka and brandy. Place vanilla beans in 1/2 gallon jug (not clear) and pour in mixture. Store in cool, dark place. (Mom used to store in our garage) wait at least 30 days.
The only other thing I remember that's required is that you invite friends over to make their own batches and everyone drinks half the vodka while doing so. :drinker:
Enjoy!0 -
Monday-Thursday -0
Friday-2 glasses of red
Look at all the productive lushes! I too was up at 7 this morning and already did a spinning and hot yoga class this morning. Now I need to do some cleaning and walk the pup. It's a balmy 45 degrees in Chicago today and tomorrow is only supposed to be a high of like 10!0 -
Sydney, that would def be fun to make - and - drink.
Chloe, spin & hot yoga? :noway:
Well, Hubs and I went to the casino and I didn't drink - but, did have ONE at the restaurant and switched to soda water and lime. I'd say that's a success. The rest of the month will be 0's. I felt like chit today from the drinks last night.0 -
Kim! I am so proud of you!!
I got tossed on Friday night...I was celebrating passing that test I took on the 5th. Several Captains and Frescas...
Yesterday was the monthly MIle High MFP meetup--14 people in all. We did a 3.7 mile hike then went to lunch where I had2 Blue Moons. Then it was so gorgeous outside, Kel made us mimosas to enjoy on the patio. I'm shooting or 0's today.0 -
Congratulations Dot!!! Sounds like a perfect weekend and I wish I were a mile high girl to be there.0

I'm boring...One vodka at the brewery. Those beers sure are pretty! I'm glad I don't drink them tho..way too many calories I'd rather spend on the food...of which I had plenty.
Probably red wine tonight with all my Sunday shows. I'm *this* close to breaking through to unseen territory on the scale. I'm determined to get to it this coming week.0 -
You can do it Syd!!!!
Kim - I am proud of you too!
Dot - That sounds like a fun weekend. Did you know these MFP peeps IRL before or met while on here? I think it's awsome that you guys meet up.
I am a boring lush...
Friday - 1 1/2 glasses of white
Saturday - 1 glass white
Sunday - some hard cider, depends on the Falcons.
GO FALCONS!!!!!0 -
All of the peeps, I've met through here. One of them, MissKortney, and I hang out on a quasi-regular basis, but the others were new or I've seen at other meetups. Get this...I'm talking to one girl and we figure out that we went to high school together! She was the year ahead of me, but we had some friends in common and whatnot.0

Vodka and I had a serious tryst last night. I am thinking I will be good today. maybe some wine with dinner.0
-
Sydney, I'm excited for you to see "the number" - hope it comes soon enough
Mama, your desciptions of the vodka realtionships kind of crack me up.
Wolf, it's nice to cut back a little now and then, right? I'm learning that you can be a really cheap date then.
I've got to get myself back on track here. Barre Yoga tonight and logging every morsel that goes into the mouth. I've had 2 days off and see how dangerous it can be if left uncontrolled.0 -
ARRRRRRGGGGG! Falcons lost and me drinking more is not going to change things. I did have a shot and a half of vodka but I think I am done for the night. Right now popcorn is the devil...I can't stop eating it and It makes me feel like a puffer fish. For any 49ers fans Congrats!0

Dammit diana.
I was pulling for them! 0 -
Well I made up for my lack of drinking last week..... :noway: Wednesday at dinner before the show I had an apertif: champagne with pistacio liquier. Divine. Then we split a bottle of red. I think I had 4 more glasses of red at the show. I was D-runk. Thursday we abstained, but Friday had 2 glasses of white with my sushi and a half of a beer at home before I fell asleep. Saturday was 2 Blue Moons at lunch, a cocktail watching the Louisville game, 2 Hoegardens at dinner, and I think 3-4 drinks at my BIL's show. We didn't get home till close to 1. I was pretty dissapointed in myself yesterday. :sad: So I'm abstaining the rest of the week till Saturday. Hopefully...... Time to clean it up again!

Saturday, Len was feeling better so we went out ot lunch...4 beers, then we stopped at a brewery on the way home for 1, then had 2 more plus 1 1/2 orange vodkas with sprite zero while we played pool for hours. Felt kind of crappy yesterday but that did not stop me from having a screwdriver, followed by 4 beers.
I love weekends, I am so sad when I have to get up monday mornings for work!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and edit to say mon-thurs-00 -
1 vodka/red bull yesterday. Just wasn't feeling it.0

Monday-Thursday-0
Friday- 2 glasses of red
Saturday- 3 glasses of red and 6 miller lights (I was drunk)
Sunday- a bottle of red and 2 beers
I am off work today. The plan is to get a massage, hair done and a spinning class this evening. And probably some shopping in between. No drinks until Saturday. We have a black tie event Saturday night. It is for the university I work for, but my husbands company buys a table every year and they invite us. I did offer to be DD that night though because my boss will be there and I need to be on my best behavior.0 -
JSNJ continues....10 days left
Then, I re-evaluate where I want to be.
Kate, I am glad Lenny was able to keep up despite the illness.
Ashley, the mindset/lushiness comes back quickly - but, I hate the chit feeling
Off to chair dancing!!0 -
Sat - 2 shots
Sun - 2 beers & a shot0
