    Sydney - I've just now been able to bop on the computer.

    Hi, all!!!

    EXCRUCIATINGLY LONG HAUL...about 10 days of lushiness

    Not sure if I've checked in since girlfriend and rock band weekend - but, here goes....

    Went to see band play with the youngsters from Chicago. So, go to this bar called the Pickle Place in Fridley, MN (aka as Friendly Fridley) I always thought it was a gay'ish town from it's name. But, the cougars were out and ugly. Long stories there, but definitely hoochie-mamas for sure. Gross hoochie-mamas!!

    We invited the band to our house the next morning for crepes. I am sure that my neighbors were like "WTF" when their van pulled up. LOL - nice kids tho. They just look like a rock band.

    After that, got ready for the huge community garage sale. Sold $400 worth of junk.

    Went on a field trip with the youngest - it will be my last field trip EVER - I am kind of said that soon I will have no little one that still will let me kiss them :sad: I've been going to that elementary school for 14 years concurently.

    Worked the whole weekend, 8 hours & 12 hours

    Today, I cannot move.

    Happy belated mother's day to all - I hope your day was happy.

    If mom is no longer around, I hope you thought of her with some fond memories.

    I went to pilates this morning to a new place and I really liked the instructor but not the facility (cold & very dusty pipes on ceiling). Tonight is pole dancing and a BIG FAT ZERO in my corner.

    Looks like all you lushes are doing well. I only drank Friday night (don't even know the number...were out of town & it was FUN!)...

    Friday: Who even knows?!
    Saturday: 0
    Sunday: 0
    Monday: 0
    Tuesday: 0

    Going for all 0's until Friday night! That is my new drinking night & I'm trying to only drink one night a week. Let's see how long that'll last.

    I also went for a little walk around my neighborhood last night (have lived there for a YEAR and have never done that)...and I loved it! Tonight, I am going to do it again & maybe even run a little! Let's see how I do!

    I totally lied about not having a drink last night...forgot we stopped on our walk last night and split a beer....it is beer week, after all :huh: I will most likely have a beer every night this week!!!!

    only 3 for me last night- which is good. Then this morning the scale said I was up four pounds- WTH! Maybe I am just full of s&it...

    Bah, we will see what tomorrow says. Have a good day all!

    0 Last night for me. And I *finally* slept well. I plan to hit the gym and pool today and will shoot for another 0. Got the Dr appointment a week from today and would like to keep it pretty clean til then. We'll see how it goes.

    Gary, you are full of *kitten*. No doubt.

    Good to see everyone else check in. It was getting lonely in here.

    I've certainly been upholding my lush card and of course when I finally get back into an exercise kick my stationary bike breaks :frown: she's been down for the count since last Wednesday. Our new one should be here hopefully either tomorrow or Friday and then I can get back at it :smile: Animals and I had a lazy day yesterday watching Bones and will be doing the same today, it's been cool here and rainy/cloudy for about 2 weeks now and that just zaps my energy completely :indifferent:

    Cheers to my fellow lushes who are also upholding their cards and well done to those with 0's or those going for moderation :flowerforyou:

    Happy hump day!!!!!

    Hey lushes! Just wanted to check in and say hi! Looks like you all are having a lushy time! (except the few that are trying to abstain) We are going to the FL Keys Saturday for a little over a week. This should be interesting not being able to drink :grumble: Maybe I can get some virgin fruity drinks and pretend there is rum in it :drinker: Oh well, it will be great to get away and get some sun and eat alot of good food!

    Have a great vacation Chloe!!!!

    So its Suburban beer week and I really didn't expect to partake as much as I have...but i am!!!!!!!

    Monday 1/2 beer
    Tuesday Len and I went to a dogfish head tap takeover....so we split a flight of world wide stout...2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 AMAZING. Then about 3 other beers at dinner then we stopped for a beer on the way home.
    Wednesday-we had a funeral then stopped on the way home for some ipa's. Had 2 glasses of wine at the luncheon and 4 beers at the bar.
    Thursday-is goose island tap takeover, so........

    The scale is not my friend but you know what I don't care. I'll get back on track next week. Good food, great beer and quality time with Lenny...totally worth it! :heart: :drinker:

    Oh, Chloe, I bet your adorable :flowerforyou: but, I do not fondly remember the "fat" stage in the beginning as you've well stated.

    Kate, sounds like a marvelous week to me...eff the scale

    I buckled last night and had a 6 sampler of wines at dinner and then a 1/2 bottle at home.

    The heat and yard work are making me crave cold, cold corona!!

    major bltch :explode: episode today so my blood pressure is thru the roof today. I told HR that they need to find me a new job ASAP:noway: or I will probably have a heart attack on company property and my husband will sue the pants off them for not dealing with issue in the first place.

    Okay, rant over. :angry: I need a cocktail. :drinker:

    One cold delicious corona down...

    Robin, that is the way to get some action.

    Good luck Robin, something needs to change there!!!

    Last night-Lenny and I split 5 3oz pours of goose island bourbon county beers, plus I had 3 other delicious goose island beers!
    Tonight we are not going out but will most likely had a beer or town at home.
    We have no social plans this weekend. Its our anniversary tomorrow and Lenny likes to make sure we keep time to ourselves. We are going to make our first batch of beer and I am going to make a batch of homemade soft pretzels, YUM!

    Robin + Stress = strep throat. Are you kidding me? I am not sure but if it isn't better by tomorrow I will go to the clinic again. It feels like it and it is on the opposite side than it was on last time. :grumble:

    Well since I felt like crap yesterday I didn't have a drink after all. so that is a big old ZERO for me. :bigsmile:

    Kate..happy anniversary to you! Sounds like a perfect weekend planned.

    Robin, your health both physical and mental is taking a beating. I hope you get out of there soon.

    0 Last night. But a crappy day of eating. Workout today and maybe a glass of wine with dinner.
    TGIF lushes! :drinker:

    Too much last night. My mom's and my 14 year old pup isn't doing so well and we're not sure how much time we have left with her :cry:

    Might have a glass of wine in a few, husband is out golfing again so it's me, the pups 'n' kitties and another Bones marathon.

    sorry about your pup, Kat. :/

    I had 2 glasses of wine last night. I'm officially on the wagon until my Tues dr. appointment. Then all bets are off...annual trip to Laguna Beach with the wacky family. Not that I'm counting the days til I see my son or anything. *cough6cough*
