Very nice work on the run and doghouse. Did you photoshop them in the window or are they forever in that pose? Very cute either way.

Sid - I have had days like that. You will get through this. Red velvet cake lushiness is almost as good as alcohol lushiness

Last night - 1 glass of cab
Sunday - 1 margarita

Just gave Callie a bath, she loves them...so strange. She particularly loves to be towel dried, she slumps to the floor in heavenly bliss, so cute. Other than that though she is 100% mischief and puppy antics. She has destroyed two remotes along with a bunch of other stuff like flip flops, tennis shoes, socks, phone cases,. The good news is my house is less cluttery I am thinking one more year before she grows out of this.

More wine than I can even begin to count all three nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) but I'm going to try for some zeroes this week!

Wine is my downfall. I Just love it!

That doghouse and run is amazing! And your Lushlings are so cute. My little lushlings are locked up in the guest bathroom today because my upstairs neighbors plumbing backed up yesterday morning and flooded my bathroom, bedroom and part of the kitchen. It was a delightful way to start and spend the day....

I hadn't intended to have any wine last night, however :drinker:

Nice work on the dog run, Mama Lush, is there a space for Doug as needed.

I'm shotting for some zeros this week and very controlled moderation. I am sure by Wednesday, the liquor devil will be wispering in my ear. I'll be working my long weekend hours; so, I might have a decent number.

I'll be in Chicago soon to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday party. I can't believe that he's 70 and time flies so fast.

Pole dancing tonight, just when the bruises started to disappear.

Nice job on that pup house/run Mama Lush!!

The very soon to be husband (20 days!) is home sick today so he's tucked up in bed. This means I finally am getting the laundry done haha and other house work that won't bother him. Once he comes downstairs to the couch then I can work out =]

Took the last two days off of work outs because my legs were just killing me and they are thanking me today. Had champagne and mixed drinks all yesterday while we filled out the wedding forms and watched football, spread out though so I feel great today

This week is just full of wedding stuff, forms have to be sent to the manor tomorrow, Kyle's wedding band is coming tomorrow, mine should be here by Friday and I am dying to see it and then I go for my 2nd and final dress fitting this Saturday! Now that we had a conference call with the manor and had some relief over the forms I'm not stressed and just super excited :bigsmile:

With that said I'm not sure what the week holds for drinks, we'll see if I feel like it or not :drinker:

Boozy weekend :ohwell:

Friday - bottle of champagne
Saturday - bottle of red
Sunday - a day of drinking. Bloody Mary, beer, beer and more beer

I did work out 6 of the 7 days last week. Success! Shooting for zeros until Friday. My daughter and I are leaving town with my sister and her kids. Heading to my parents vacation home in central Oregon for some fun in the sun. Leaving the husbands behind!

Sounds like everyone had a nice weekend. Now on to the next one!

Oh gosh Robin! I am so sorry about your daughter, I can only imagine that its tough for you too!! I wish her nothing but the best!!

Monday-0
Tuesday-shooting for another 0. I have a consumer research thingy tonight (25mins=25bucks) to taste chocolate...yeah that's horrible :laugh: I will be home late, then dinner and clean up so I probably won't have much time to enjoy a glass before bed. We shall see :happy:

stress, not condusive to zeros. Baby girl has found out what a scumbag the BF was . I will not say I told you so but so many of us knew. it never gets easier when your babies hurt. no matter how strong and smart and powerful they are they are still your babies. so a house, 2 dogs and a lot of debt later his true colors shine thru and she is left broke and heart broken. only alcohol can ease the anguish I feel. even though I knew it was inevitable.

As the Momma of adult daughters I can feel your pain! Nothing harder than to hear your baby girl cry over a man that isn't worth 1 tear, let alone many! {{hugs}} to you!

So sorry mama lush :ohwell:

2 and a half mixed drinks last night while filling out more wedding forms. 19 days until the wedding so I think I'm going to do a semi elimination diet of sorts for the next 19 days. So I'll cut back on booze, gluten, dairy and other foods that tend to make one feel puffy or bloated. I'm going to drink lots of water and this digestive tea I picked up so I'm nice and slim for my dress

The oh so soon to be husbands wedding band came today and it looks so nice a little bit different from the norm and I love the engraving. His wedding gift also came so I'll have to check that out though we can't have any until the wedding. I really can't wait to see my wedding band, supposed to come by Friday but with my luck it'll get pushed back.

Think I'll do 2 hours on the bike today, we had chinese yesterday which included 2 of the foods you should eliminate a couple weeks before your wedding so I'm feeling a wee bit poofy today, it'll be good to sweat it out!

Kat, sorry to hear about the ring and it is really upsetting. At least, Kyle will be there and that's the most important thing that matters.

I read an article that kind of explains why we eat sweets when we aren't drinking. It states that our bodies are used to the ^ sugar intake and it has difficulty adjusting when we cut it out. Maybe why I felt sluggish all day. Night #3 of no alcohol is making me sleep like crap!! I'll still be shooting for #4 today. Hopefully, I am over the hump by now.

Kate, have fun at yoga!! Yummy chocolates

Wednesday, 0, I have a 8 hour seminar tomorrow that I will be sitting for *snore*

Thanks all, you're right nisi, if Kyle wasn't there then we'd have a problem haha. I certainly had that drink Kate haha, it was a nice stiff one and as much as I wanted another, I didn't. Went to bed and slept great and woke up today with no more side effects of the chinese we had Monday AND it's a gorgeous day here. I'm keeping a positive mind about my ring today, they say they have great customer service so we'll see if they can get the job done. If not then we'll use some make shift ring for the ceremony.

I'm guessing there will be another stiff drink or two in the books for tonight but lots of water and healthy eats today.

here I am to mess up all the moderating!
Monday=4 beers
Tuesday=6 beers

after last nights over-indulgence I went online shopping and I think I got some great deals:)

I had a margarita for lunch yesterday. It was a must since I had ceviche.

Yummo!!

Kat, way to regroup on the thinking. It will be a good story someday.

Amy, :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: It will be fun to get the packages in the mail.

Jaci, you and I can do it!!

Diana, I had mine renewed last year

The furniture and mattress arrived and hopefully hubs will sleep good. They say it takes weeks to get used to a new mattress. We will see. Off to a ballgame, I'll check in with you lushes tomorrow.
