    Wasn't planning on drinking last night but daughter invited me to a local bar up the street to play "photo hunt" and bought me a fireball whiskey shot. Never had one before, it was good. Tastes like red hots. I stopped at one...yay me!

    wooohoo mama lush!
    Gary....hopefully wife is home now and you're a bit more cheered up.
    Kim...I LOL'd at your post. you get lush of the month award. :drinker:

    I'm finally home and so is the son so I'm a happy mama. 3 days in the car was horrible on the exercise and diet plan tho. I will be avoiding the scale for a while until I get back into the groove.
    I have mounds of laundry to do...that should burn a few calories...I think the son avoided doing any the last 2 weeks of classes. The lil *kitten*.
    cheers everyone! :drinker:

    Not much to say today. I really want to get it in gear and I am really struggling with it. I will dreadmill to get my steps up and I will probably give in and have a drink or three later.

    I have a story about that drink. Long story - but, my husband was going to pour it into our friend's mouth while he was lying on the floor. It was a pool bet of some sort. Well, he poured it into his eye and his eye was on fire.

    I am thinking that lush of the month is not a good title...

    Now, I want mango martini's - Thanks, Kate - Of course, I was thinking of beer earlier after son;s ballgame so I think it's more me than you.

    I have to go to the doctor and get my plantar fasciitis taken care of once and for all on Monday (shot of cortisone in the foot??) and the tube out of my ear since it's not falling out (shot of novocaine in the ear) Good times ahead....

    Thanks for the well wishes. The wife got home minutes ago and she is in better spirits- hence I am in better spirits. :smile:

    Double workouts for the last couple days while she was gone. Looking for results on the scale.

    Syd, glad your road trip is over. Having your son home for the summer will be nice. He can help you with the gardening and housework. HA!

    Robin, good luck with the better boss and the walking.

    Kim, it was the first of our parents to go. No doubt the next five years will see at least two more. Such is life.

    I got the news today that I will be loaned to the good boss full time thru the end of the year while I hunt for a new job.

    It may take a couple of weeks but I am soooooooo happy!


    I am sooo glad Robin!! That's the best!

    Last night 2 bottles o' beer.

    Day started with car trouble, meeting he## at work, $1200 car repair, poor food choices last night and no exercise. Predictable results 350+ over, .4 lb up this am, and poor quality sleep to boot.
    There will probably be beer tonight, and unrealistic to hold it to one, but will keep it down to two.
    Means I better get my butt out of the office for a lunchwalk.
    Robin so very very happy to hear you've been reassigned to the good boss!
    Happy Friday,

    Last night I had 4 smallish mango vodka and sprite zeros. They are so yummy I couldn't help myself :happy:
    After work, I am meeting Lenny at Rock Bottom for a beer and a free appetizer....only reason are going but a valid enough reason to go. We may work on an outdoor project while we are digesting and I'm sure a beer will be had. Then maybe some wine. Low key tonight, since we have to make to the gym at open then my nephew's 11th bday party in the afternoon.
    Sunday, we am taking my dad to go see star trek then iron hill for dinner!
    Happy friday everyone!

    Good to see you auntiebk! Car troubles suck :angry:

    Another nice weekend in the works for you Kate!
    We have behind home plate tickets at Petco Park for Saturday night with the boy...a nice family outing to celebrate Dad's day. I imagine beer and wine will be had along with crappy food choices but I will enjoy every minute...even if the Padres lose.
    I will be cooking tonight and Sunday..my marinated grilled chicken and carne asada have been requested...no more dining commons grub for the kid and he's ready for mama's cooking. :bigsmile: I'm avoiding the scale for a few days until I get back into an exercise groove.
    TGIF everyone!:drinker:

    Wed 2 big glasses of crisp white
    Thurs. (my 'Friday') 2 big glasses of crisp white AND 3 natural lights

    Fri??? I did lose 3 lbs so Sunday's 0, with Monday's and Tuesday's almost abstinence was worth it.
    Going to try to NOT drink like a pig this weekend. :cry:

    Have a good weekend all. :drinker:

    Auntie......welcome back to the official lush thread.

    Sydney...I want to come over and eat as well.

    Pam, 3 lbs. is great - weekends are tough.

    Robin, your story makes me want to drink. At least, it's Friday.

    Kate, enjoy the app night and a movie night

    Monday...I think I had 6 beers total.
    Tuesday....super lushy with vodka at the casino
    Wednesday, 0
    Thursday....3.5 beers with hubs at happy hour
    Friday...I will set a limit of 3 vodkas - because now I am dying for mango vodka
    Saturday...0
    Sunday...0

    I went on a job interview today for some per diem work at memory care cottages. I wonder if the lady hiring me was a lush because we actually had a good time together. I'll be filling in for her when she's gone. It will be nice to do something different and low key instead of the demanding pace of a hospital unit

    Kim, good luck on getting that per diem work. Also, would I be correct to assume Memory Lane is an Alzheimer's care facility?

    Oh Robin- you have had rotten luck the past few months. Hoping it gets better for you soon!

    Took a friend out for Indian food last night for her birthday. It was nice to be social. got home and saw that it was free HBO, Starz and Cinemax on Dish so I stayed up watching movies. and drinking diet and Sailor Jerry's. An enjoyable evening.

    Awww, sorry to hear that Robin! Just when it seemed bearable. Well, 2 days with the good one is better than none. Hang in there!

    Thanks Kim....I think after last night's lushiness I should cool it today! Good luck on your new job!

    Friday night: 1/2 box of crisp white wine that lead to nakid in the hot tub. And also, a gain of 1 lb. Sheesh, so much for having fun! lol

    I'm hoping my job turns out. My trainer seemed to have gotten a bit edgy by week's end. I want to tribute that to the fact that our office manager is gone (due to family death) and the trainer/business assistant has to take up some of her duties. I'm hoping it's not me. I also think that while she is the trainer, there is not much positive feedback from her. I don't think she has that in her. Next week will be interesting, as the receptionist is coming back from vaca, I will be there and what the heck will they do?? I'll try not to stress about it. :ohwell:
