Hi Doxie & Jaci, welcome to the group...feel free to add your fellow lush here as a friend.
I really like the pole dancing class which was very similar to barre yoga except that the pole is vertical vs. horizontal. I'll be going again for a slightly harder one tomorrow. It's supposed to be where you actually get on the pole and hang. Bah, to be a fly on the wall for that one.
Monday, 4 oz vodka soda...so, that makes 3'ish in terms of counting0 -
Well I have discovered hard cider. Angry Orchard crisp apple...It's so yummy and tastes like fall in a bottle with a zing. God, I wish it wasn't so high in calories though:sad:
I've seen it but haven't tried it. I've afraid of getting hooked on new vices as I have enough. Ok, you talked me into it.0 -
I am afraid I watch too much TV including Grimm and my mind was racing with awful notions as we were seemingly in the middle of nowhere with the river 100 down a straight cliff.
Ummm, deliverance'ish?? Po' dunk bar was probably da' bomb in FUN. Hope that you were able to de-stress a little and uncurl the toes. Good luck on the 0's.0 -
Robin-BBQ smoked pork sliders...I literally drooled at bit!!! And I love me some karoake...LOVE, but drinks are must for me while greatting crazy like that haha!!!
Welcome Jaci and DoxieMama!!! This is amazing group of people!!!
Last night I had 8oz of wine....after I jogged to the market and liquor store, so I felt it was justified :bigsmile:
Tonight-I am meeting my sister in law to try on and order my bridesmaid dress.....BLEH but its gotta get done. Alittle less BLEH is we are going out for all you can eat crab legs and some delicious beers afterwards!!!
The rest of the week will probably involve wine, no shocker there huh :huh:0 -
Welcome Doxie! Such a cute picture, I've got 2 doxies myself as well as a black lab and 2 *****cats
Had champagne and wine last night as I alphabetized the guest list, now we figure out tables and such. Found out everything has to be in by Tuesday so it's crunch time!!
We put short ribs in the crock pot last night so our whole house smells amazing right now plus it feels like a cool, crisp Fall morning :bigsmile: Sons of Anarchy starts up again tonight and I'm getting together with my best friend this afternoon for a movie and drinks. It's going to be a great day
It will also be a day spent keeping those who lost their lives and those who lost loved ones 11 years ago in my thoughts and prayers. As well as being thankful for all those who have served and are currently serving our country and always trying to prevent another 9/11. So a huge thank you and I love you to my cousin Danny who served in the military and who is walking me down the aisle in a few weeks

I swore we heard banjos0 -
Monday=1 marg. that marg was 26 oz, but it came in a single glass, and I think the 26 oz is a lot of ice, that's my story...
Pole dabcing-we did that for my bachelorette, it is a tough workout! They did not allow and hanging upside down for us amateaurs though!
tonight I am making stuffed zucchini boats, probably not drinking, trying not to, anyway...0 -
haha at the 1 margarita. That's how I am with the wine..my glass is BIG.
I am feeling better today. My mood has been so horrible and I knew part of it was the lack of exercise...but I realized today that the other part was the constant A/C I've been living in since coming back from Hawaii (there the trade winds are amazing and you rarely need it..much like it is here usually)
I dunno how you people deal with the heat and humidity all summer long!! (minus Mama Lush!) I'm grateful I have A/C for those days when I need it..but it seems like I've been running it constant lately (even at night!) Verrrryyy unusual for San Diego and it LITERALLY gives me cabin fever/mini panic attacks. The weather here has been horrible for quite some time.
I also realize I'm old..and my body temp probably has raised a bit as well :grumble: But when the neighbors, husband and son complain about the humidity too, then it makes me know I'm not alone.
Annnnyywhoooo..I've had the windows open alllll day today and I'm like a new person!! :drinker:
Mon-2 vodkas
Tues- 2 glasses of wine
The eating and exercising has been good. Hope to continue that all week.0 -
So glad you are feeling better Sydney!! In the summer we run the a/c the whole time and in the winter the heat is going...spring/fall..open windows and doors. It makes a lovely night sleep so I feel you!!!!
Monday-10oz of wine
Tuesday-1 flight of beer (16oz) and 1 13oz beer at dinner with my sister in law. I was pleasantly surprised with the bridesmaid dress....very nice, I can dig it!!!
Wednesday-grocery store, cook dinner for my husband, yoga, WINE!!!!0 -
Sydney, what a super easy fix...I'm used to humidity so it's alright with me and you don't have to shovel it
Kat, it's crack down time. I want some ribs now.
I found the recipe for Chipolte's marinade and it was de-lish. It was gone before I got home from class last night. If anyone wants it, I can post it.
Amy, I didn't go upside down because I would have died. I did however lose some thigh flesh and am sore this morning. It's going to take lots and lots of practice.
Monday and Tuesday ended up being very, very lushy. I had mojitos with girlfriend last night at her house. She is a heavy pourer and that is why we are such good friends.
Work tonight from 3 to 11, so no drinks tonight. I am hoping to abstain until Friday.0 -
Definitely crack down time, ah!
6 large beers with the best friend last night, came home and went to bed. Have lots to do today in the form of house work and I'll have to fit in my work outs at some point. Not sure about drinks tonight, a friend had mentioned that since Fall seems to be in the air it is spiced rum and cider time. We just happen to have cider, no rum though but we do have vodka so maybe that is in the books for tonight, we'll see!
It's cool here again today, beautiful and last night we had the windows open again, nice and cool especially with my fans. I read somewhere the colder the room you sleep in the higher chance you have of having bad dreams and what do you know the last couple nights it's been super cool in our room I've had bad dreams :noway:0 -
Well so much for starting fresh. Monday was a bottle of white. I did log it and was under calories for the day though. Yesterday - not so much. Did get a work out in, but did not log my food or beer. I am pretty sure I was over in calories following lunch!
Planning on zero tonight. Hanging with my pregnant bff.
I am from Vancouver, WA - so I want to keep fall at bay for as long as I can. Keep this warm summer weather coming!
Sunday - 0
Monday - bottle of white
Tuesday - 1 bloody mary, 7 beers through out the day (last day of vacation)
Wendesday - 00 -
Tuesday=0 drinks!
But probably some wine tonight and watching Tudors.
Kat, I have some rum, it is dark rum but not spiced rum I do not think. I like the idea of mixing it with cider-do you make it warm or cold?
I like rum with gingerale too.0 -

I like cider cold but if I'm having it as an adult drink I like it as a hot toddy We don't keep rum around though because the fiancé can't even think of it ever since he and a friend drank almost a whole handle of it when they were younger. He was so drunk he apparently couldn't find his way out of his tent, so he stays away from any sort of rum. 0 -
Love cider and rum and ginger and rum...pear vodka is also quite lovely with cider!!!
Amy-just finished season 4 of the Tudors and wine is perfect while watching it....especially since they are all drinking all the time
Kat-everyone seems to have some kind of alcohol adversion...my mom is rum and most of my friends are tequila. I am one of the luck few that has an iron stomach :laugh:0 -
yep, Whiskey is mine. Canadian Club Whiskey. I was drinking it like a shot out of a champagne flute, the night did not go well...0
-
Mine is gin. sometimes even juniper bushes can bring back the awful memories of gin and tonics when I was 18. The aversion has subsided over the years but it is still there.
No go on the zero. Work was way to stressful. So much for the unwinding I did during the weekend. :ohwell:
finished an open bottle of wine we brought back and then chased it with goose. I don't think tonight will be much better.0 -
Long Island Teas are mine...nuff' said, long story
I CAN'T even go one day it seems, 3 beers tonight.0 -
My aversion is Tequila - hate it!!! Hubby tries to make me do a shot every Cinco de Mayo and being the wuss that caves to any kind of peer pressure I usually do it - but ugh!! :sick:
I set a goal on Sunday to have zero's all week and.....Yay! so far, so good - 0's Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday!! WooHoo!!! :bigsmile:
Sydney - glad you're feeling better - not a big fan of humidity either but living in Michigan all my life we have to deal with it - plus this year has been over 90 a ton!! :noway:
Nisi - funny - I LOVE Long Island ice teas but I TRY to stay far, far away from them cause I just get stupid....:blushing:
Robin - you had an open bottle of wine??? What?? Lol
Of course you had to finish it - it might go bad! 0 -
After work last night I scrubbed the bathroom....the shower with a toothbrush LITERALLY..I really really need to clean that *kitten* more often!!!
Afterwards, I sat on the couch watching my new favorite show, Long Island Medium. Not sure how I feel about the premise but its super entertaining but does make me cry like a baby...tears are good for the soul :happy: Oh and had a nice big glass of wine, 10oz!
Tonight I think I'll tackle the first floor, which isn't usually that bad, mostly hardwoods and little carpet. Vacuuming the couch is a b*tch though...friggin cats and their massive amount of fur!!!! Then settle down with a nice big glass of wine :bigsmile:
Its almost friday and I can't wait!!!!!
Enjoy your day everyone!0 -

Wine and beer last night and definitely drinks tonight as the fiancé is away on business =|
Need to tackle the laundry, clean our bathroom and mop the cats bathroom. Luckily I vacuumed yesterday, took care of the huge pile of cardboard and other recyclables and cleaned up the super messy kitchen that was left from the fiancé cooking.
I'll get my long bike ride in at some point.0 -
My good mood was short lived. 90/100+ temps thru the weekend...the air is back on
Mon-2. Vodkas
Tues-3 glasses of wine
Wed-0 because I didn't have the calories
Should get in a good workout today so I may have some wine. Or not.0 -
:laugh: Kat, when I scanned your post all I read was "mop the cats" I couldn't quite figure it out. I guess I should read slower.
Not so good last night. Did I mention that we bougt two 1.75 Gooses (Geese doesn't seem quite right) while we were in Oregon? about 15 bucks cheaper per bottle because of our insane liquor tax in Washington. An what is a girl to do when there is a big ol bottle of Goose staring at you? :drinker:
Have a good one Lushes!0 -

Beers again last night at BWW.
I worked Wednesday night from 3 to 11:30, got home, had a couple of beers and went to bed about 2A. Work calls at 7A and says that I'm supposed to be there because I signed up for an extra shift. I ask if they're sure because I don't usually double-back like that. Nope, they assure me, I'm supposed to be there. So, Eff, I haul *kitten* to get there and at lunch, I go to staffing to find out that I never signed up for that shift. Damn right, I never signed up. I have never been late or missed a shift.
This morning, I just got get cancelled for the real shift that I signed up for!! I work in a crazy environment for sure.0 -
Kate, you are a good woman to clean like that. I have learned to live in filth.:sick:
Chole, sorry that you did not get the job :flowerforyou:
Jaci, nice job on the zero's. I thing you took mine and I want them back. It's not fair.
SoCal, can't you go to the beach for a nice breeze?0
