miss kim, those are some good comefucckmeshoes! I have a few of those too.

I can feel a vodka or whiskey night coming on. I've been pretty good all week and am ready to let loose a bit. Back and hamstring feel much better so will go for a workout to earn those booze calories.
TGIF everyone! :drinker:

But I will do you all proud while away!

I expect no less....safe travels...limo is SWEET!! Hope you have champagne for the ride & some heels

Ohhhh, Robin, reminds me of the movie "Office Space" when they put the mumbling guy in the basement.

Sydney...bring on the vodka :drinker: :drinker: burn those cals!!

Day 5, will hold strong and only keep it at one. I've tried that trazadone med that the doc prescribed for sleep. I don't know how anyone can function on that. I will have greater empathy for peeps in the morning if they've have that the prior night. I woke up in a drooling, foggy state and could hardly get out of bed. The ambien is so much better. I have to try and convince him to keep me on that.

Well, I ended my 0 streak last night:
1 vodka/red bull
1 vodka diet ginger ale
1 vodka diet coke
1 vodka water

Holy *kitten*. WHAT THE HELL?? :drinker:

I love that bunny!!!!!!

Great thread! I wonder if there is a shoe for males that has that same effect on women?

Welcome Denjo- some good people here!

Have a great relaxing weekend all!

Oh, the rabbit and the pole--- love it.

Friday - 2 glasses of wine
Saturday - Baileys and coffee (following the footsteps of Mama Lush)

Had 2 34oz beers at lunch and still feeling it but came home and did some measuring for the new couch/ chaise and chair from Restoration Hardware. They're such big amazing couches, we'll never want to leave the house! Also have some laundry going and vacuumed all the carpets, quite productive while buzzed haha. It was a productive week as well, garage and basement cleaned out, shelves set up and cabinets organized, landscaper came out and we are on the list for the year so our yard will be tip top in no time and we set up an appointment for the furnace to be serviced this week. Now we just have to have ADT come out and upgrade/re-activate the pre-existing system. Now time to relax until Madmen tonight

Day 7 - FAILURE - I'll add later - but, I switched to water now so should be good!!

I floated to a different unit and it sucked balls. Med Surg is where most of the freaks go because there is no other place to put them and they should be locked up. Clicking my heels three times and saying "There's no place like home." ~~ Dorothy from Oz

You sure have an interesting work environment. I take it the "freaks" are your work mates and not the patients? Oh, nice reference to the golden slippers and clicking home!

as promised, many vodkas Friday night. up until 3:30am. i'm too old for that *kitten*! :noway:
Sat-0
Sun-3 glasses of wine

the back is much better, still not quite right but I'm not going to complain since I know how much worse it could be.

waiting to hear all the details, kim!
have a great week everyone :drinker:

No Champagne yesterday afterall. Just wasn't feeling it. We did however book our Christmas getaway. St. Maarten on a catamaran yacht for a week. It holds 3 couples and a 2 person crew. All inclusive. they have a "noodle" bar where you use swim noodles and drink while you are floating in the Carribean:bigsmile: Is it Christmas yet?

Sounds wonderful! Have you done something like that before? Looking forward to hearing more about it!

Mon - 2 beers, whatareyougonnado, it is Opening Day!

2 glasses of red wine and I am $380 richer thanks to a winning ncaa bracket. :happy:

Kim- are they psych patients? I know a lot of them get dumped on the hospitals. And your taxes pay for it. :grumble:

Grilling at the BBQ with the tumbling sounds like a peaceful night and an amazing dinner.

Your right, there are lots and lots of people without health insurance. There are literally no beds in mental health and the ones are let go way too soon.

They are the chronic pain people who call every 2 hours on the hour for dilaudid shots, they are the people who have POAs that keep them alive for the social security income of their own, the list could go on. There's a lot of family dynamics in health care. My co-worker had a family member say they were going to come back and kill her. That was my code last week who went to ICU. She had no liver or pancreas. Ummm, it was liquor that killed her not turning off the vent. Geez Louise!

:drinker: :drinker: SoCal's got some drinkin' money :drinker: :drinker:

So, I went to dance class last night. It felt great to work out after over a month off. Then, my friend Celeste said "Margarita" and I was salivating like Pavlov.

I think I am at 7 for the month which might be moderation - but, definitely a failure at abstinence. Guess that's why I am on this thread in the first place :ohwell:

I learned today that my daughter might be going to Lexington, KY for a summer internship to work with horses. I'm sad at the thought of her leaving because we have been thru so much and are very close. I will worry, worry, worry. Alas, that is what a mom is supposed to do right.

Ashley, your in Lexington, right? Maybe, you can tell me if she's going to be in a good area when I get the details. I still have the right to snoop, I think.
