    A lot of vodka last night. I think I am in a rut and I need to kick my butt in gear.

    Robin, been there and done that...pull yourself up girl

    I'm jealous of all the fun everyone is having. I'll be a working girl except for wine night.

    Chloe, my mom says the same things to me.

    It was nice to be cancelled for the extra shift this morning. I am 370 hours away from a raise and then in June I get another COLA raise of 3%. Maybe, it will ease things up around here. Our expenses just keep going up, up, up. My advice is 2, just 2 kids. 4 is way too many.

    Hang in there mama lush! :flowerforyou:
    Good to see Chris and auntiebk back here!
    The rest of you seem to be moderating or lushing as necessary.
    1 glass of wine and I threw the rest of the candy, which I don't even like but keep eating, OUT!

    TGIF. I'm so worried about the husband with his job. Hoping for a weekend where we both can relax. Gunna be back in the 80s by Sunday so maybe some pool time.

    Hello all! I have been horrible at posting anything in the past month or so. I am so crazy busy at work it's driving me insane! By Friday, I definitely look forward to wine (& lots of it!). I cannot believe it's November already! The holiday season is practically upon us!

    Hope everyone is doing well & enjoying lots of yummy drinks!

    Kblue it's definitely exhausting having so many things go on right after another, looking forward to Monday for you =]

    Chloe congrats on all those 0's love!!

    Mama Lush I have definitely been there and it's still lingering. You can get through it though :smile:

    Chris good to hear from you!!!

    Nisi congrats on being so close to a raise, lets celebrate :drinker:

    SoCal I hope everything works out with your husbands job and that you have a nice relaxing weekend :flowerforyou:

    Bgrune hope things calm down for you soon and as far as I'm concerned the holiday season starts with Halloween :bigsmile:

    Extra pretty sure I made up for anyone with 0's last night :noway:


    I'm exhausted so not sure if we'll still be going out tonight but if we do it'll definitely be a come home and head to bed kind of night. Maybe I'll try to take a nap so hubs and I can have a nice date night even though he's got one foot in the "dog" house :grumble: Happy Friday lushes, here's to a nice weekend for all of us :smile:

    Didn't get too out of control last night....

    Had a glass of wine while getting ready and 3 at dinner. Tonight we are staying in and I am making chili, probably just chill on the couch and finish up that bottle of wine I opened last night :drinker:

    Some people say they run-for-beer as a punchline. I say it, like, serious.................!

    Too much last night. Going out with the in laws tonight so it'll be a mellow evening and probably early to bed.

    Day 3 still alcohol free :smile: I weighed myself this morning and I put on weight in the last month, it must have been all the extra drinking I did in preparation for going alcohol free! :laugh:

    Yvonne - Nice work on those 0's

    Friday - After my Kahlua in my coffee I had a shot of vanilla rum
    Saturday - 2 Bloody Marys ( that picture Mama Lush posted must had talked to my sub-conscience) 2 glasses wine
    Sunday - 0

    I have been craving sugar like crazy this past week. Bought a bunch of fruit this weekend so I am at least going to try to keep it natural instead of candy and tiramisu! The sugar in the alcohol is okay though ;)

    A pumpkin beer with a double vanilla shot last night.

    Right now, I'm drinking a Sunshine Wheat.

    Kept it low key yesterday and was up bright and early this morning :smile: It's a very cool,crisp fall morning here without a cloud in the sky. So I'm currently simmering some homemade potpourri on the stove which has the house smelling of yummy spices, listening to Seriously Sinatra on Sirius XM and relaxing for a bit before doing laundry and vacuuming. Already took the Halloween decorations down and our house feels so bare now haha.

    Husband is getting some work done and then we'll get some food and he'll head back to our home office to work while I do the housework.

    Might have some wine tonight but I think I'd like to strive for 0's during the week again, unless the husband wants some beer or something. Not because of weight because I'm still fine on that point but I definitely feel less puffy when I cut down but weekends and special occasions are fair game :drinker:

    Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday :smile:

    Sounds like a good day, Kat.

    Ugh, I have lush-related drama going on in my neighborhood. I'll spill when I'm on a computer. In related news, after my beer, I had 3 double red bull-vodkas...with cherry. Miraculously, I don't feel like *kitten*, but that's most likely due to the fact that I was up until 3. (or 2, really, because of lame-*kitten* DST)
