Sometimes I'm more productive when I'm hungover than when I'm not. I've cleaned up the kitchen, in the middle of vacuuming the carpets and getting laundry done.0

So I sent the complaint to ethics and now I wait and see if anything happens. I need a drink. Vodka here I come.0

Hopefully it'll make life a little more bearable for you at work, Robin!
I made soup and decided I needed a glass of wine with it.

Kate, Ick on the bacon vodka. Proud of you for trying it tho.
Kat, sometimes I think I do more after days like that to prove something, like I'm tough or it's a punishment for what I've done. It can swing either way, I guess.
Kyler, well done.
Sydney, great with the moderation-schmoderation
Robin, vodka-on...
Today is recovery mode although I went to 3 grocery stores while enduring a snowstorm. Everything is put away; but of course, I do not feel like cooking. I picked up tomorrow as an extra shift and am really hoping to be cancelled. I just need a chill-at-home day and get some stuff done.

Our adult "boys" both were here Saturday night. had a great time with many drinks. Sunday recouped a bit. Today was nice out and did some clean up outside. Today will be moderate as I am tired and hope to turn in early.
Robin good luck to you. Thanks for keeping us posted.
Kim, hope that extra shift doesn't happen.
Sydney- can't remember the last time I went 0 for two days in a row. Hope you are not sick....
Kat- I am the same with being productive after a hard party night. I think for me its guilt for being bad.0 -
Sunday - 4ish glasses of wine
Monday - 0
Tuesday - going to try for 2 at dinner and no more than 4 at the show0 -

Having the lush store guy order some..........................Thanks.0

Sunday=3 pints of beer and a margarita
Monday=1 unfiltered wheat beer
Tonight, it's margs again. The wine I opened on Saturday is not good, it might have to become sangria, that's how we avoid alcohol neglect 0 -
Oy. I don't even want to speculate how many drinks I had this weekend.
Here's what I do know...the Pour 24 bar at New York New York has $7 red bull/vodkas...and they're poured stiff and tall. They also have 2 for 5 jello shots.
The House of Blues has $7 grapefruit juice and vodkas and they're excellent for breakfast.
The cabana service at Mandalay Bay serves very yummy drinks, as does the Border Grill--their cucumber mojito is delightful.0 -

Haha love it! We can't tolerate alcohol abuse
Beer last night with husband and with everything I got done yesterday I don't have much to do today which is good because it is cold and wet here. It's been snowing/sleeting/raining and all the gloom has the 6 fur babes and me zapped of energy. Anywho, time for more laundry.0 -
Kat, I have cat vomit on one of the kid's beds. The animals are killing me with the endless fur and shenanigans.
Dot, I am jealous of your excursion to LV.
Amy, way crafty I'll say.
Kate, have fun with lushy nuptial committment ceremony.
Zip, enjoy the 2 gingers! I learned that when it's made, it's called a "Big Ginger" from a bartender. Duh, says that right on the bottle.
Day 2 of sobriety reigns on. Last night I had funky bad dreams that I will blame on withdrawl. I was cancelled for the OT shift and realize all of the things I have to do before the Chicago invasion. OMG...I have no idea where I am going to put everyone.
I am going to try and have a "Deal - or - No Deal" game for all the kiddos instead of an egg hunt. Should be fun, I think.0 -
Yep I will make a wine cooler or something to choke down bad wine. I just can't seem to throw it out.The wine I opened on Saturday is not good, it might have to become sangria, that's how we avoid alcohol neglect0 -
Just wanted to share a bit of realization..... While I have been quite lushy in number of days I'm drinking, I have been much better with drinking more than intended so far in 2013. I just realized I have only gotten schmamered (like black out drunk) 3x this year! Twice in January, Once in February and none in March.
Also, I agreed to do a competition with my sister before our family vacation in 7ish weeks. I have to decide how many days I drink and how much I'll be drinking. We're both lushes and attempting to lose a little weight prior to beaching it so...... I lose points if I drink more than I say. I'm saying I'll drink only 4 days. I think this makes me a lush.....
Good idea on turning old wine into sangria, cooler, etc. Another idea is make ice cubes and then if your wine isn't cold enough, you can use wine cubes and not water down your wine. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm not too good to put ice in my wine....0 -
Sunday - 4ish glasses of wine
Monday - 0
Tuesday - 2 at dinner and I think I had 5 at the show, so only one more than planned.
0 tonight0 -
Nice Ashley!
Monday-0
Tuesday-0...although I logged wine last night, I changed my mind and didn't have it :happy:
Wednesday-0..my goal. I have this teeny bit of wine left in a bottle that I was going to save until tomorrow, so we'll see if my resolve holds up another night!0 -
When I'm hungover I'm a slug. You productive lushes put me to shame.
Unlike Kate, I decided to polish off the rest of the wine in my open bottle. So another 1 glass evening.
Maybe 0 tonight?0 -
I'm with you! I'm beyond lazy when I'm hungover...so I lay in bed & nap :bigsmile:

Chalk up another zero for me tonight. The goal is to behave until Good Friday.0 -
I will make up for you by misbehaving, Kim. It's the least I can do to maintain the lushiness of the thread.
Moderating until the son gets home for Spring Break this Friday...then all bets are off.

Worked hard in the yard today raking and general cleaning up. Going to enjoy my wine and a very hot bath by candle light later. And no..husband is not invited, i want to relax :laugh:0 -
This whole page is a bunch of Zee ros.
I have taken it upon myself to take up the slack. To take a few for the team. To leave no bottle undrained.
Kudos to you all for being so good!0 -
Well, like a true lush...after my weekend of debauchery, I'm having a red bull and vodka.0
-
I haven't been in on the zeros, either!
Tuesday=2 margs, the first one was 26 oz, then I had to help a friend finish hers...
Maybe tonight but the night is not over yet!0 -

Thursday-probably finish the rest of the red sitting on the counter. I have to stop at the liquor store to pick up some champagne for wedding morning hair and make up prep so I might grab another bottle of wine for tonight. Nothing too crazy.
I am off tomorrow and I am so excited for my sister in law/best friends wedding, I have some much nervous energy and have a long night ahead of me...gym, mani/pedi, liquor store stop, laundry, packing for tomorrow's rehearsal and saturdays wedding, then make and clean up dinner. Wish I got up for my workout this morning but bed wouldn't let me out!!!!0 -
True to my name "Mama Lush" I have been slugging down lots of vodka every night. Usually 3 or 4. So I am taking up the slack for any of you people out there with will power and the ability to abstain.
I don't think anything will come of my complaint. Ethics basically handed it off to HR. HR is a new manager with two groups and she is currently down 7 people on her team (everyone bailed and they havent' rehired) so since she is overworked and new I doubt she will take on the task of dealing with my situation. I am bummed but I will just keep on trying to find anotherh job in the company.
I see a lot of vodka or wine in my future.0 -
Oh Robin I feel for ya! We have this huge b**** that just came back from maternity leave today and everyone has been dreading it. And she is definitely going to have it out for me because with my promotion I just got I took away one of her employees and some of her responsibilities. Not that that was my decision or anything, but she will definitely be blaming me. And she didn't even get a pay cut or anything, so I don't even see the big deal. She is just a very insecure person.
Going today for my first ultrasound and then for Mexican afterwards, this will be rough to not get a margarita (which are my fav)!!!!0 -

Kate, that sounds like fun nervous energy, not the bad kind! And Yay for having tomorrow off.
Good luck with the ultrasound, Chloe.
I've got errands to run and lots to do before the son arrives tomorrow. There will be plenty of cooking this weekend before we leave for the hotel (battling the freshmen 15 is not his problem...he is *over* the dining commons food!) and I will be hosting a house full before he goes back on Easter.
I've dropped 2 pounds over the last week or so. I'm not logging it because I'm quite sure I will gain it all back with room service and fun food/drink next week. But it's nice to know my hard work paid off and I can just enjoy myself. :drinker:0 -
