    Welcome back faith and kris!!

    So all the guys are golfing today and so far I've gotten all the bridesmaids gifts put together, wrote a thank you note to all of them as well as Kyle's parents and one for him. I think I'll see if someone will be able to run his gift with the note over to the manor while we all get ready =] I also gave the two little ones the baths they needed in order to be able to go to the manor, think I'll get Eve's done next so I don't have to worry about it. I also packed my wedding bag so I'm in good shape. Haven't started drinking yet haha I'll probably pop open some wine after I give Eve her bath. It is an absolutely gorgeous day here today, the couple getting married today are one lucky couple. It's supposed to be cold and rainy tomorrow but I will not let the weather put in a sour mood on my wedding day. Ok, I'm off to give Eve her bath and then I can just relax the rest of the day and look forward to tomorrow :smile: :heart:

    Last night was slightly lushy...didn't get snockered, just tired.

    Tonight, I am not sure...but, a cold, cold Octoberfest Sam Adams is sounding good.

    Happy wedding kat!

    Robin, we may need to revoke your momma lush title if you keep this up! :wink: you're doing amazing.

    I had some red wine...it finally cooled off here and felt like fall so I was craving it. Half a bottle still left which I will have tonight probably.
    Good Sunday night TV viewing so I may have a cocktail with the husband during Homeland (or the Chargers or Lakers game) gotta get some exercise in 1st.
    Enjoy your Sunday lushes!

    Week 1 of Sober October is almost done! I can't believe I've made it a whole week, could not begin to tell you the last time I made it a whole week.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Great job Robin! Congrats Kat! I hope the wedding was lovely. Can't wait to see pics.

    My week:
    Sunday-0
    Monday-0
    Tuesday-2 pumpkin beers
    Wednesday-3 5 oz glasses wine (which I consider more like 2....) and 1 pumpkin beer
    Thursday - dirty martini and half a bottle of pinot noir
    Friday - 2 beers at the art fair, 1/2 bottle of pinot at dinner, 1/2 bottle red in the hot tub after dinner
    Saturday - 1ish bottle of champagne, 1/3 pint vodka, 2 pumpkin beers at the football game

    Friday I got drunker than I intended, but Saturday although I was feeling good, I quit drinking once we got home around 7:30. Now I have come down with some sort of sickness which makes me want to drink tea and not booze, so hopefully this week will be good. Have a great week lushes!

    Thanks all :smile: The wedding was everything and more than I expected. So many people came up to Kyle and me and said it was one of the best if not the best weddings they've ever been to which was amazing to hear. Today's a little rough haha. I was good throughout the wedding and then the bar tender said they were going to do a soft close and we somehow ended the night with absinth and champagne ... that was the end of me and most everyone else haha. Now we have to go drop off the pups :frown: pack for our honeymoon before the honeymoon and head out tomorrow morning bright and early.

    Congratulations, Kat!

    Sober October has hit a bump in the road...it may become "Mostly Sober October"...

    Rather stressful day, and frankly, I just really want some wine. Back on track tomorrow.

    I am right there with you.

    I think I am retaining weight because of not destressing with my wine. I typically walk about 10000 steps aday at work today I worked an 1 hour over time and I only walked 4500 steps . that tells me that I never got up from my desk all day. 'nuff said.

    I made it a whole week and that hasn't happened in forever and I am now convinced that I can do that when I need to.

    Doxie and Robin...you are doing great! You know that you can do it now...so you should be proud. Hope your day is better today.

    I, on the other hand haven't gone more than a few days sans alcohol. Had 1 large glass of red wine last night.

    Oh, and Homeland is an awesome show. :glasses:

    Doxie & Robin, nice job...yes, you know you can do it. Keep up the fab work.

    Monday, 2 - 16 oz beers, it was my Friday
    Tuesday, 0

    Goal: < 12

    I picked up shifts for the weekend so I should be fairly well behaved.

    Tuesday - 22oz Oktoberfest, 1/2 bottle pinot noir

    We found out that one of our favorite walk to restaurants has half price bottles of wine and $1 off 22oz beers on Tuesdays. Now we have restaurants within walking distance from our house where we can get a half price bottles of wine Monday - Thursday. It's my neighborhood's fault I drink on week nights! :smile: I have a late meeting tonight so probably 0's. Thursday friends are coming over. I hope to make it not a super lushy night as I have plans to run with a friend Friday morning.

    How are the Sober Octoberers doing?

    Faith, those are a lot of 0s! Well done.

    I had white wine last night. Still moderating...probably some red wine tonite with dinner since I plan to get in some good exercise again.

    Hope all the lushes are well. :drinker:

    I have discovered that my marriage is much better when I have a drink or two. I am not grumpy and I don't snap my husbands head off. Two days of drinking and 4 pounds of water stress disapated. I was back down this morning to where I should be. I think that stress and sugar are far worse for me than my alcohol. It was a good experiment and I will now try moderation. Did okay last night only ahd a couple of vodka rocks all evening.

    Every body is different and I feel better with a drink or two. Maybe that is a sad commentary on my life but at least I am a happy lush!

    This made me laugh :laugh: I agree Robin. As long as I moderate I'm a better wife but if I drink *too* much I get pissy. It's a fine balance :wink:

    Hey all!!!!
    Lushiness has not subsided, mass quantities of wine nightly. Since I'v been layed up I haven't had much of an appetite....probably cause I haven't moved much :laugh: ....so I have been using my calories for booze! Boo Katie, I know :blushing:

    This is soooo true - unfortunately for me I never know where that balance is - that fine line between nicely buzzed and incredibly pissy, until I've crossed the damn line! :huh:

    Totally agree that I am a better wife with cocktails in me....unless I go overboard and then I turn into a total b****!

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-0
    Wednesday-0

    Still planning for zeros until Saturday. Going to try to keep it minimal on Saturday and back to zeros on Sunday also. I need to make up for last weeks lushiness.
