Sorry I am so late starting the new month.

Well I am vacationing this month so I will be consuming I am sure. I may try moderation out side of the vacay though.

Happy February Lushes!!!

    Good luck Mama Lush!!

    Kate I'm going to shoot for 0's Monday-Thurs as well but if I slip up I'm going to try and keep it to very few drinks. Thursdays are tough because it's the husbands late night and I just get bored and want wine with my shows :tongue:

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 2 glasses of white (serious moderation for me!)
    Thursday - I kept adding wine to my glass but I was also downing 2 glasses of water at a time in between so while I don't know exactly how many glasses I actually had I feel fantastic today :smile:
    Friday - wine for date night with husband!!!!!

    He didn't get home last night until after midnight so I was surprised when he asked in bed if I wanted to go out to dinner tonight. I asked if he would be able to stay awake and he said yes so we're going out for date night :heart: Can't wait to get gussied up for him :smile: I'm guessing we'll have a bottle or two of wine at dinner but not sure if we'll have anything when we get home or if we'll just snuggle on the couch and end up falling asleep haha.

    I can't believe February already!!

    Happy Friday all :drinker:

    Jeez, what a bunch of lushes.

    We decided not to go to wine night because it's just too cold. I am not sure what's in store for tonight but I am sure to drink something. I picked up an extra shift tomorrow so we shall see.

    Apparently even just a couple days turns my tolerance right back around. Split a bottle of wine with the husband at dinner and had one glass of prosecco for dessert and I am ready for bed. We stopped at the packy right next door to the restaurant on the way home, bought 2 bottles of champagne and one bottle of scotch. Husband is having scotch and poured me a large glass of champagne as well as brought in the bottle and I haven't even touched the glass yet :noway: Are my lushy ways turning around?!

    I was good this week--I had a beer last night, nothing on Wednesday, a beer on Tuesday and right now I'm drinking my first drink at 9:00--red bull and vodka, of course.

    Yikes February already! Congrats to all of you that did a sober January or a moderate January! You guys rocked it!

    I have been sick so I haven't been drinking unless the alcohol in cough syrup counts :tongue:

    I usually do sober February (shortest month of the year) but I don't know yet. So far I am, but not on purpose.

    The Black Bra (as told by a woman)

    I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends.
    One is engaged, one is a mistress, and I have been married for 30+ years.

    We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our men by greeting them at the door wearing a black bra, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.

    Here's how it all went.

    My engaged friend :
    The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams...I love you.' Then we made passionate love all night long.

    The mistress:
    Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing a raincoat, under it only the black bra, heels and mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but he started to tremble and we had wild sex all night.

    Then I had to share my story:
    When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. When he came in the door and saw me he said,

    (you are going to love this..)

    " What's for dinner, Zorro?"

    We spent the evening visiting with our son who recently got a place of his own. He made us a wonderful pork loin roast in the dutch oven- side of sweet potoatos, beer and scotch. I had more than my share! Wife drove us home- great time. :drinker:

    That is nice ryze.

    Kim - cute story.

    Syd - Not feeling the superbowl since my team lost. Think I will watch the puppybowl on animal planet instead.

    Robin - Glad to hear you had a nice time with the grandbaby and your daughter.

    Kat - How's the married life? Does it feel any different?

    Hope all you lushes have a good weekend and are behaving yourselves!

    Still no drinks for me although I do feel the worst of the sickness has passed. This made me very sad today :cry:

    Diana, I saw that sorry on the news and I couldn't even watch it. So, so, sad. I saw bits of the puppy bowl and I want them all. Nothing beats puppy breathe.

    I have been lushy Friday, Saturday and today as well. I will be in abstinence mode until the 14th or I will gain back this 10 lbs in the blink of an eye.

    SoCal- Sounds like your son is ready to be on his own! Getting him on track with your recipes is neat. Plus he will cook for you all summer! :wink:

    I'm jealous Robin!!

    I have more of a food hangover today than drink. I need the husband to come home so I get back on track.

    Super lushy the past 3 days...back on track until the 14th - no big deal right? I think I am up 4 lbs. now, ugh!!

    Robin, feel better and get packin'

    Sydney, I have both hangovers and I feel like I am catching a cold.

    I was lushy...by myself on Saturday. I started with a fresca/vodka and then hubs decided to go play darts at the neighbors. I love our neighbors, but she smokes and when they play darts, it's like a frelling smokestack in there. (Kel will smoke too...ticks me off, but whatever.) So, I decided to play Skyrim and continue to drink...4 later, I'm WASTED and killed my character about 7 times, so I called it a night. :laugh:

    Yesterday, I had a beer and 2 vodka drinks. Pretty tame.

    Hope those that aren't feeling well feel better soon :flowerforyou:

    Let's recap, Friday split a bottle of white at dinner with hubs, one glass of prosecco at dessert, 2 glasses of prosecco at home.

    Saturday husband and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch around 12:30 and stayed having drinks until 6:30 and the bill was only $100!!! Came home, ate pizza, watched the Dark Knight Rises and went to bed.

    Sunday woke up feeling great, went to breakfast then got some errands done. Came home and cleaned up a bit before company came over for the game. Between 3 of us we had 3 or 4 bottles of champagne/prosecco. I cleaned everything up once they left because I hate waking up to a dirty kitchen/living room. Husband went to bed right after the game because he starts earnings for the month and this is the week that came out of a nightmare. I won't see him much this month.

    Today I am not starting to be good because we have left over scrumptious food and I am not wasting it. My friend made car bomb cupcakes and they are with out a doubt the most amazing cup cakes I've ever had and I'm not crazy about cup cakes or sweets in general. Plus Aunt Dot is in town so I just don't feel like doing anything.

    I ordered some fancy new wine glasses and they are my size, tiny :smile: they have a silver band on top that match the scotch glasses I bought the husband because they remind me of the glasses they use in mad men. I do better with small glasses. Can't wait to get them. With that said, I'm guessing since I won't see the husband much there will be drinks out of boredom, oh well.
