    Monday, 1.5 glasses of wine with lunch, 32 oz Dos Equis, 4 12 oz-ish margs (<<<<<<<this is embarrassing)
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 0

    Total: 8.5

    Rockin' the zero for Thursday.

    I went to the Mall of America because I had a return, takes like an hour to get to where you want to go in that place. I ate lunch with the girlfriend and had slight thoughts about happy hour. Whoosh, averted the temptation. Although, riding the mechanical bull would have been fun after a couple of cocktails. :wink:

    Hmmmm, why is there no mention of sticky buns? LOL - sounds like a wonderful evening

    I asked for the day off work and it was granted. I have so much crap to do since the long week of nearly no responsibilities. So, I need to get crackin' - floors, laundry, bathrooms.....oh, my

    Ugh, Mama Lush, I'm so sorry that she's being such a B. No one should be that miserable at their job.

    this. completely....HR HR HR!!!

    monday-friday 5pm - 0!! (i'm assuming i'm not going to have beverages while at work today....)

    yeah i really need to get a few stoppers.
    the ONLY reason i had this issue and didn't just use it as a reason to down the whole thing, is that it really tasted icky.
    i was just going to pawn it off on my boyfriend and use that as an excuse to go shopping. :)

    Kate...ohhhh myyyyyyy! :laugh:

    Conferences were mellow, thank goodness. They're student led, so it's an open house format. I had a couple shots of Tuaca and went to bed.

    Chill'axin' in a clean house....sweeeet deal!! I am thinking of getting one for the holidays. My sister is coming to visit and will make it a whole lot easier. Problem is, you have to clean before she cleans...YIKES!!

    Haha...true kim. There's only 2 of us though now so we don't have a lot of clutter anymore. But when the kid was younger and people used to come over and say..wow your house is so clean! I'd say yeah..as long as you don't open any closets or cabinets or drawers.

    Gary, while I love to cook this recipe entails going to the Mexican take out joint down the street. :bigsmile: They make them SOOOOO amazing. (and I'm quite particular, being the half Mexican I am)

    But basically these are grilled...seasoned probably with chile powder and some cumin. Served on fresh corn tortillas with lime and cabbage and a white sauce. The white sauce you could probaby find on any recipe website (google fish taco sauce) but usually includes a garlic/mayo/sourcreamjalapeno mix of some sort. I also add avacado and a tomato salsa but that isn't traditional with most shrimp tacos.

    Stll surviving. I will work on my complaint all weekend getting as many specific details and witnesses as I can.

    she has been okay the last two days but when she is so awful most of the time I just keep waiting for the shoe to drop so I am still so stressed even when she is tolerable.

    Lots of vodka. Way too much vodka but frankly scarlet I don't give a damn.

    catch you all later.

    Good luck rj- Bad workmates esp supervisors can make even a good job stressful. On the flip side working with great people can make the worst jobs fun. I can only imagine how stressful and hard it is for you to file the complaint. This fellow lush is pulling for you! :smile:

    Friday-4 very stiff vodka/Frescas...alone while I trolled MFP and Kel played darts with the neighbor.
    Saturday--3 very stiff vodka/Frescas whilst on the way to my parents...then 2 glasses of wine. I don't really like my sister, so I usually get drunk to deal with her.
    Sunday--2 red bull/vodkas so far. We're stuck inside due to a snowstorm, so the drinks started flowing around 12.

    Hi Lushes,

    I am back. Was sick so I wasn't drinking so it seemed silly to post here, but the last three nights I have been having a half of bottle of chardonnay. Still not 100% and I did something to my ribs or cartilage while coughing real hard but I feel so much better besides the sharp shooting pain when I cough or move weird. Maybe chardonnay has healing powers. Think I will conduct my own study. Glad to see everyone doing well!

    Later Lushes! :drinker: :drinker:

    Diana, you have been sick a long, long time. No lush should ever have to endure that amount of abstinence. I'm glad to hear the chard is helping.

    Well lushes, looks like I will be just living vicariously through all of you for the next 9 months. Just found out last week I am pregnant. Still really early, so we are not telling many people, but I figured I could confide in all of you :wink: My first weekend without booze was tough, but I know it will all be worth it.
