    Yea us cub fans can take it...we are used to it. My uncle keeps wanting us to come visit in Coronado and my husband said we will only go when the cubs are there so we can see a game vs the padres. I guess he went to the stadium once before we met and loved it.

    Yes, the Cub fans are die hards. I have to admit Wrigleyville is a great place to hang out, great vibe. So, many different bars and so little time.

    That would be very cool if you all went to a game together...now, I want to go...I could wear a padre's hat

    Sun - Thurs, all zeros and I cannot wait for my wine night & pasta.

    SO cute!! I love Bella the name, definitely a possibility for our first girl but Isabella as that was my grandmother's name on my fathers side. I never got to meet her but I've been told she was an amazing woman unlike the rest of that family and I love the name.

    Oh boy could you imagine all the lushes at a ball game together....haha! That would be awesome! And Wrigleyville is great. I might be partial, but Chicago is the best city ever, I just love it.

    Adorable little kitty!

    Entering day 5 of Sober October and having the opposite sleep problem, I can't seem to get enough. I figured I would have a really hard time because I hit it HARD at the end of September (1 to 2 bottles of wine a night) but it hasn't been bad. I have had the sugar cravings as well, and been giving in to a few foods I wouldn't normally eat, but I figure I'm still taking in fewer calories without my wine. I do miss it...

    Hope everyone is having a great month!

    I'm happy I finally got aunt flo and that she won't be bad for the wedding BUT I did not need her to bring along cousin break out :grumble: Oh well, it's coverable and I still have 2 days so I should be god :smile:

    Tonight is our rehearsal dinner followed by our joint bachelor/bachelorette party so that should be fun :drinker: Right now I'm just cleaning up the house and then once the fiancé gets home we'll be going to get our marriage license.

    It has been sooo long since I have been able to post that. I was so crabby last night my husband said, "would you please just have a damn drink!" I told him I couldn't and he said okay and that he was proud of me. Then he proceeded to give me a back rub to calm my nerves. He is such a keeper. :bigsmile:

    Welcome home Krisco. It will all work out. Good for you. we have to do what's best for us in our lives.

    I DIDN'T CAVE!!!!!! I cannot tell you the last time I had a 0 on a Friday.

    I did make a blackberry bread pudding (needed to use up the blackberries)with a blackberry calvados sauce but I only used about a teaspoon of calvados and it was cooked so I don't think that counts. (side note the Calvados was from my trip to the north of France in 2002. There was about a tablespoon left in the bottom of the bottle. Well aged but awesome in the sauce.)
