    Kim, you are right! I think my limit for work days will be 4 beers or 2 glasses of wine.

    Friday 10 Natural Lights (ouch)
    Sat 'bout a half a box of White Crisp which left me crispy

    Sunday will be zero......it's just gotta be! :wink:

    Have a good week all!

    Saturday - Marathon day - many, many beers at bingo, several wine samples at the liquor store and 2 to 3'ish vodkas at home. I honestly do not have any idea how much I drank yesterday. Good day with hubby tho!!

    Sounds like everyone is enjoying their weekend!

    I had a good workout and only 2 glasses of wine yesterday. I did finish up the evening with cheesecake tho. :huh:
    I generally try to do one or the other...not both (dessert or booze)
    Let's see what today brings. :drinker:

    I've decided to punish myself with exercise today - 45 minute class of zumba should sweat out of the residual booze

    mmmmm, cheesecake

    I forgot that I invited my friend over for cosmos today :sad: .....add 4 for Sunday

    I suffered at a zumba-ish class today. It was a new gym that I checked out. I am not sure that I like it there; but, I'm going to tough it out for a month since that's what I've purchased.

    I definitely have to shoot for zeros for the week. I have warrior dash on Saturday which I am not prepared for :ohwell:

    Lushy weekend. Drinks with girlfriends at dinner then some wine with my husband on the deck after Friday. Saturday night probably about a bottle of wine at a family party, then at home after cucumber vodka with Sprite, which I actually poured, gave to my husband and then took back the remaining third. Yesterday had a bottle of wine and 2ish cucumber vodka and Sprites. Luckily the cucumber goodness is almost gone. And I smoked a ton of cigarettes, which I really need to cut out. Went running Saturday and could not breath. :blushing:

    I'm entering a contest with my sister starting today and one of the things I get points for is going over my drink limit. I set this week's goal to 12. I'm really going to try to stay dry till Friday. Maybe a couple drinks if we go to dinner one night, but 2 is my limit! And only drinking one week night!

    I just feel ickish today. Groggy and blah. Typical after a lushy weekend.....

    I am with you Ashley! I have been quite lushy since thursday and today I take a break!

    Friday, Lenny meet me for a few cocktails after work then we went home and had more cocktails while enjoying the gorgeous weather then finished up a bottle of wine while playing pool. We were in bed early so my saturday workout wasn't still pretty good.
    I had a baby shower saturday (sangria and champagne) while Len helped out at my sister and brothers in laws new house. After shower I came back to the house had a few beers, then some of us went to a local brew pub for two beers.
    Yesterday we slept in a bit and bailed on our hike but I still did yoga (yay me :wink: ) Then we, well, drank beers and finished up two projects. I also made delicious food all day....breakfast was carrot cake pancakes with honey butter, had to use up some bananas so I made a roasted banana bar with browned butter-pecan frosting...also added some bourbon to the batter and frosting! Then I marinated and grilled some chicken to top a pizza....homemade dough, fresh mozzarella and homemade sauce, quite possibly the best pizza I have made to date!
    We had a little more than 5 beers yesterday, which really isn't too bad. I feel ok today, usual monday blues and some sodium puff!!!
    Not planning on anything tonight!

    Have a great day!

    Kate...is your homemade pizza dough recipe something that you'd want to share? ;) Sounds wonderful!!

    Its the recipe from the cuisinart food processor recipe book....I cheat and do not knead my own dough :wink:

    Ingredients

    1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
    1 teaspoon granulated sugar
    2/3 cup warm water (105 to 115°F.)
    1 2/3 cups unbleached, all-purpose or bread flour
    1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more to coat dough
    ¾ teaspoon kosher salt

    Instructions

    1. In a liquid measuring cup, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.


    2. Insert dough or metal chopping blade in work bowl and add flour, olive oil and salt. With the machine running, pour the liquid mixture through the feed tube as fast as the flour absorbs it. Process until dough cleans the sides of the work bowl and forms a ball. Then process for 30 seconds to knead dough. Dough may be slightly sticky.


    3. Coat dough evenly with olive oil; transfer to a plastic food storage bag and seal the top. Let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down. Roll into desired crust sizes and place on baking pans lightly sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spray. Follow with a pizza recipe.

    So my interview went really well this morning. the hiring manager and I really got along well. I really hope this works out. We bonded over a past that we were in the same area of Tampa Florida and since we are in Washington state now that was kind of weird. At one point she remarked that she thought my brain seems to work like hers. I took that as a good sign.

    I will try to be good tonight but I am all gittery now about the interview. I just want to know if I get the job or not. Doug was so supportive this morning. He did not ask when my interview was, he asked, "When is your introduction to your new boss?" That is some seriously positive thinking. :bigsmile:

    Sipped on goose yesterday. it was so good.

    My weekend was like the majority here. Went to a retirement party at a former co-worker's house Friday for food drinks and a hot tub soak. Saturday was the formal retirement party with food drinks. Sunday I was a slug.

    Crossing my fingers for you Robin!

    Darla went to visit a girl friend for a few days so I decided to do manly things around the house. I worked outside consolidating a brush pile and got attacked by a branch- see profile pic. I will get even in a few weeks when I rent a commercial chipper.

    Well, today ended up being a great day - but, lushy as well

    Took the kids tubing with my BFF as well. We were dry on the river while tubing and then went to lunch where we shared 2 pitchers of beers. We walked about 4 miles to "the dike" to check on the kids between the pitchers. When the pitchers were done, we went swimming with the kids for about an hour. Then, we met hubs for drinks and walked home from the restaurant.

    Going to bed....glad that everyone else was lushy with me. Tomorrow starts sobriety until Saturday when I have Warrior Dash.

    GOOD LUCK ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's nasty Gary...ehhh!!!

    Kim, you day sound really really nice, glad you enjoyed!!!!

    Monday-0
    My sister in law and brother in law are coming up for the weekend, then we are having some additional guests on saturday, so we must start cleaning the house...we do it floor by floor so we don't feel like slaves scrubbing, vacuuming, dusting for hours. :laugh: Last night Lenny tackled upstairs and tonight we will do the basement wednesday and thursday will be the main floor (this floor takes more time due to massive amounts of cat fur). I usually like some alcoholic beverages while I clean...makes it more bearable....I was planning on staying dry until friday, but we shall see...rarely happens :wink:

    Monday - 0

    Still didn't sleep great but I just don't seem to sleep well or stay asleep. I did however have a very strange dream in which I was pregnant sleeping on my stomach and I woke up in the dream and my stomach was smaller. Husband said to me I looked different and I asked if I smooshed the baby so we thought it was a good idea to go to the store to get a pregnancy test (this is all still the dream haha). So at the store husband picked out this package of 14 tests hahaha, apparently economy sized and he said it had the best reputation for all variables ... whatever that means.

    Needless to say I woke up thinking :huh:

    Today will be a 0 too with lots of water/tea and a good work out :smile:

    Kim your day sounds fun! Kate...yours does not. But I did clean out my pantry yesterday and it looks mahhhhhhhhvelous! Sometimes cleaning can be fun...and you're right...drinking makes it better.

    Kat...are you trying to tell us something?

    I had a good day...eating and drinking wise. Let's see if I can keep it up this week. I am meeting the SIL at the beach tomorrow with my son and drinks will be had...hopefully I can account for it and get some exercise in as well.

    Kat...are you trying to tell us something?

    No, I've had strange dreams where I've been pregnant before. I just have strange dreams in general and they are usually very vivid to the point where sometimes I wake up and am not sure if it was real or not :noway:

    Spent the day moving furniture off the carpets and doing a good job vacuuming. Tomorrow I will rent a carpet shampooer and get the carpets all clean and Purdy for when Darla gets home tomorrow night.

    No doubt there will be drinks tonight but hope to moderate.

    Thunderstorm outside right now. The dogs are not amused. :sad:

    Can't imagine when or if you do get pregnant....talk about strange dreams! Mine were way out there.

    Sipping on my watered down vodka cranberry I started at dinner time but got interrupted because my dog, Callie, came in from the back yard and apparently rolled in something dead. Rushed her in the bath and thought might as well bathe the little booger dog too.

    Looks like the gang is lushing, as it should be.

    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0

    Diana - yuck on the doggy rolling in deadness

    Robin - good luck with the job prospect

    Kat - funky dream for sure...funny how I've been pregnant a lot and I never dream that I am - probably because that would be more of a nightmare. :sad:
