    Sunday-3beers
    Monday-10oz of white wine
    Tuesday-2oz of grape vodka and sprite zero
    Wednesday-4oz of grape vodka and sprite zero
    Thursday-2oz of grape bodka and sprite zero and 6oz of wine
    Tonight: Definitely a manhattan and probably some wine.

    We are going rock climbing tomorrow morning. We got a groupon, oh about 2wks before I hurt me knee :huh: , and it expires next weekend, so we are going for it. Its an hour instructional then you can use the gym for the rest of the day. I'm excited and nervous, but I'll be taped and have a brace on so I should be fine!!
    Then we are going to the movie tavern and then martini bar for some tapas. Should be a good day! Going to try and keep it under some form of control, since I want to get to the gym or do some kind of activity sunday, so I can drink some beer :happy:

    Kel and I got HOUSED on Wednesday night--I had a 2 hour educational law test that was intense and he had a rough night with the kids. So, after they went to bed, we mixed 2 very stiff drinks...downed them, mixed two more...downed them. This was on an empty stomach...oops!!

    I'm heading to Vegas tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be a good girl all weekend and earn my card back!!

    Have fun in Vegas, dot. Good time of the year to go.
    Katie your weekend sounds very fun!

    I stuck with my one (large) vodka again last night. So I was pretty good all week. I'm sore today and feel like I pulled/strained my Achilles so I'm gunna rest today. It took forever for that to heal last time so I don't want to chance anything. I may do some work in the yard today and this weekend.

    One more week and the son is home for spring break. Cant wait to see his face and give him a big mama hug. :bigsmile:
    TGIF lushes!

    Thursday=4 beers

    going to the nuggets game tonight, so I will probably have plenty of beer and stadium food. Pepsi Center food isn't nearly as good as Coors Field, but eating is just part of the experience for me!

    I agree with the Pepsi Center food < Coors Field food, for sure!

    Awesome!! May Ron NEVER invade my hot bath like that!!

    Tomorrow is my 7K for the "Get Lucky" dash - and, it's snowing overnight, the survivor will surface in all of us. Twin Cities will be crazy with drunkard Irish and want-a-bees alike.

    One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the thick head. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer, and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer, and started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT YOU *kitten*!!!!"

    May you eat the fly!!

    that was one of my favorite jokes to tell while I was an ale wench at faire. I am still taking things easy. I was in bed by 7:20 last night. I finished writing up the complaint now I just have to file it.

    I will cook corned beef and cabbage tomorrow but other than that I am not doing much. Happy lushing!

    Robin, I would LOVE to see you in action as the ale wench.

    May you...
    Work like you don't need the money,
    love like you've never been hurt,
    dance like no-one is watching,
    screw like it's being filmed,
    and drink like a true Irishman.

    Well, lushes, I did my 7K yesterday. I tried to run but the lungs did not like the cold air and then I would start coughing. So, I just basically walked the whole thing. It was 27'ish degrees.

    And since, we are the lushes that we are, headed to the first bar that was close called Bolts. It turned out to be a gay mens' bar and took a few minutes for us to get the gist. I've not been to one of those before so it was indeed interesting but not exciting since it was only 11 o'clock. We had 2 drinks there. I grabbed a packet of free condoms that are offered, with the information regarding AIDS and pictures on how to use the, shall I say, products contained within. I'll give that to the 14-year-old boy.

    Then, we went a place called Grumpies in Minneapolis for food. Another 2 beers there.

    Then, we went to St. Paul which is a sea of green and full of the drunkards (ourselves included at this point). We went to Liffey's which is an Irish bar that we could redeem our 6 free beer vouchers. Another 3 beers there.

    Then, we went to O'Malley's by our house in Woodbury for corned beef, cabbage, boiled potatoes and more beer. I don't remember if it was one or two. I'm thinking 2 because that's our average. Today is their big day there where they will have a tent and lots of live music.

    Then, to girlfriends house to hang out. 1 there.

    Then, home to hang to make sure the kids were alive and feed. 1 more to finish the day.

    Ouch, 11 from 11 AM to 11 PM - must be a lucky number somehow. Anyway, today is 23rd wedding anniversary and going to lay low for the day since I can hardly move. We are thinking Italian, pasta sounds good and everyone will be doing SPD so it should be nice and quiet. Wondering if we will be lured into the O'Malley's for the festivities but I doubt it. This chick feels like she's 85 today.

    Bah. Lots of beer yesterday without having much to eat makes for a painful day today. So far today included one 34 oz beer and a glass of red. Probably another glass in a bit and maybe some champagne for Walking Dead :smile:

    Kat, I feel your pain.

    Tonight was 5 wine samplers and 2 mimosas...makes 6'ish I am sure since the pours of wine are generous

    Sunday, 6 to end a great, great weekend!!

    Now, I have to lay low for a while. I work this weekend and have a boatload of peeps coming for the holiday. They will stay all weekend and will be lushy indeed.

    Many vodkas on Friday.
    0-Sat
    0-Sun

    Shooting for a good week. I've got one more week until I'm in the bikini on Spring Break poolside and I still would love to drop a couple of more lbs.

    Sounds like my lush friends did me proud this weekend :drinker:

    Kim, sounds like a great weekend. Running in sub freezing temps = world class- even if you did walk a bit. Drinking at a gay bar = priceless esp on st paddies day.

    Syd- in the bikini on spring break = pictures! :love:

    I think I drank all but one day last week. I had lots of wine over the weekend, but really only got somewhat drunk on Thursday. I was so tired I fell asleep on the couch around 10 every other night my parents were in town. 0 for tonight and tomorrow night we go see Alt-J so there will be drinks. I'll probably shoot for a couple more 0's, including Friday as I have a 10k Saturday. Sounds like everyone earned their lush cards for St. Patty's!

    Lushy week last week and lushy weekend too!!

    Friday-1 beer, 1 cocktail and some wine, I didn't measure so not sure how much!
    Saturday-6 beers and a shot. Now folks let me warn you...if you ever see bacon vodka and you are curious to see what that's like make sure you mix it with something and don't just shoot it, its friggin gross!
    Sunday-2 1/2 beer, 2 Irish Car bombs, and 2 glasses of wine.

    Surprisingly I do not feel like poo today. I am going to behave this week, since my sister in laws wedding is saturday and I will get my fill at the rehearsal friday and then the wedding saturday!

    Zip, have you tried the 2 gingers? They sell a lot of it here.

    Gooooooooooo, Syndey.....a bikini :smokin: I agree on the pics :devil:

    Sunday, 7
    Monday, 0
    Tuesday, 0
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday, 0
    Friday, 0
    Saturday, 0

    Goal is to only have one other drinking day and I must earn the calories for it.

    Hubs had flowers and a very nice 2 page note written by him waiting for me at the table. Very super sweet to read and really touched my heart because I am not a mushy romantic - but, this one got me.

    Happy recover day to all!!

    So, had a pretty good weekend. Friday night we went out with the in-laws in hubs hometown and went to dinner. I had 2 beers at dinner...then we went back to the in-laws, and I fell asleep 2 minutes into the K-State game. So, needless to say I was TIRED!

    Saturday was my friend's St. Paddy's Day celebration. Started drinking about 12pm and my body finally quit on me about 11pm, so I made a good run of it. Yesterday I did not feel too well though!!! My plan for the week is 0's til Friday (KU plays at 8:50pm)...

    Katie...I loooove bacon but that sounds gross!

    And ain't nobody wanna see an old lady in a bikini (or the pics.) Just minimizing tan lines is all and trying not to embarrass myself.
    Have a good week everyone! Sounds like a few of us are trying to behave

    Kate, I'm a fan of bacon, but that drink just sounds disgusting. What in the world would you even attempt to mix it with?!
  • kblue2007
    kblue2007 Posts: 2,564 Member
    The bartender said most people use the bacon vodka in bloody mary's, which could work but I will never attempt bacon vodka again, its tasted like salty raw meat, ICK! :sick:
