what is all that, diana? I couldn't really tell from the pics. Looks interesting.

I'm home and had 2 vodkas w/ a splash of guava juice. The San Diego weather gods rewarded me with desert like temps...so it feels like i never left. Woke up to the kitten purring in my face and kneading my boobs so I knew I was back home.

So much has happened since I last visited about 2 months ago! Kat, Preggos!! Congrats, so happy for you! Robin, grandchild! So special....you are so proud! Hello everyone, I've been on a hellava trip.....work related.

That new job....DDS reception...there is a wicked witch of the West for an office manager. Whew, let me tell you after 4 months there, she sure didn't like me picking up on some of her mistakes on the books. And my subtle comments on how she teaches.....one does not have to be talked down to when learning a completely new field..... Anyway....after her giving me notice that I should leave in 2 weeks, now that is changing. The office managers meeting with the heads at the corp. office on Friday seems to give way for a job for me in accounting there. Cool. I think. She seemed nervous telling me about that. Only could wonder that she talked about me, and other jobs came up for me to fill. Which is too cool. I have great attendance, attitude etc. Patients loved me. I am learning something so different than other jobs I had (primarily mechanical engineering), that it would take more that 4 months to learn. Anyway.....see what happens this week. I should be getting a call from main office to meet and greet. Oh boy. Thanks for listening. It's been so crazy, I haven't' been on here. But glad I lost a couple of pounds when I logged that today.

The :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: well, that seems to be way up on the weekends, Friday and Sat. and Tues night as now I have Wednesdays off. (Everyone works 4 days, 10 hours and gets a day off.) I had Fridays but the other business assistant that was there for 3 years bailed so now I have Wed. off.
Thanks for reading, I could go on and on. Cheers.....!!! On my 3rd tequila and dt. 7-Up. Not looking forward to work tomorrow, but will keep a professional face going.

I drank Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but managed to moderate rather well and even took breaks during all day drinking Saturday.

Friday: 1/2 bottle rose', Sam Adams Oktoberfest while waiting on carryout, glass of sauv blanc
Saturday: 2 Becks Oktoberfest at the art fair (had my first at 11am), vodka and soda, probably 3 glasses of rose', 1/2 bottle of pinot
Sunday: mimosas = probably 1 bottle + a little, 2 glasses of white wine

I had a great weekend and got to spend time with some great friends. My childhood BFF who is still a close friend has a 4 week old little girl so I took my 20 month old over to meet her yesterday and we had wine. It was really nice. We've decided they'll be BFFs too.

I'd like to have a couple 0's this week, but I'm in this new mindset where I'm just trying to be more mindful of everything - eating and drinking. It seems to be working. If I know I'm trying to restrict something, it's like I want it even more......

Over did it with the vodka on Friday. Was better on Saturday, and just one beer on Sunday. Scales up on Monday. :explode:

Need to change my mindset to get the scales going in the right direction. Reading all of the groups posts on their triumphs and tribulations is a help!

Have a great week all! :flowerforyou:

Sun - 5 drinks
Team loss

Decided on nothing last night :huh: BUT I did get into the Boo Berry Lenny bought the other day :grumble:

Got a great workout in this morning then walking to the hair salon after work...think that deserves some wine :bigsmile:

boys are the sweetest, kim

I am trying to get back into a groove after the week away and am not very motivated. Up 2 lbs but still hanging onto most of the weight loss from when I was sick. If I can ever get back into exercising I should be ok.

Lots on Sunday..I agree kim..the warm summer weather makes me drink more.
0-Monday

Maybe some wine today? meeting sil for lunch at the beach

atta girl, katie!! :drinker:

So last night....large pinepple vodka and sprite zero, a beer, then ANOTHER large pineapple vodka and sprite zero. Still got to bed early and feel decent today, so win-win.
Not sure about tonight, maybe vodka, maybe wine, maybe nothing...we shall see. Only one more night without my Lenny!!! :happy:

lol...interesting night, kim.

2 glasses of wine yesterday...not bad considering I was at the beach during the day. i'm sore from my workout which always makes me feel better...like i did something with my day.

its drizzly here this morning. i need to dig deep and try to find some long sleeve tops and pants! probably more wine tonight?

You can do it Mama Lush

Zippo- LOVE the new pic, very fitting for this month =]

Had my first ultrasound on Monday and it is amazing how clearly and how much you actually get to see on them. Definitely made it all very real. I go for my second ultrasound on November 14th when we will hopefully find out the gender of the baby =] I'm dying to know. Last Friday we went out to dinner with husbands sister and her boyfriend who already knew I was pregnant but we finally told Kelly. The guys had lots of wine and husband actually got drunk and before we went to bed he hugged me and whispered "I love you....and the lemon." That was the size of the baby last week We have been keeping track week to week what size the baby is in relation to fruit. It's cute because then husband just refers to the little one as said fruit.

On the lush front I sort of miss wine when I'm with those having it but not nearly as much as I thought. Fall beers on the other hand are hard to watch people enjoy but they will be amazing next year :drinker:

Hope everyone is doing well :flowerforyou:

Wed - 5 beers
NLDS

Yeah, I've been a little lushy too.....

Monday - 1.5 ciders
Tuesday - pumpkin beer at dinner, 1/2 bottle of red
Wednesday - a cider, probably a little over 1/2 bottle of red, vodka with cran and OJ
Thursday - going to my BIL's for dinner, so will probably grab some beer or a bottle of wine
Friday - friend in from STL. We're making pizzas. I'm gong to make dirty martinis for happy hour. Who knows what else....
Saturday - getting a sitter and going to a festival up the street
Sunday - another festival = more drinks.

Oh well.....I'll abstain one of these days......

I was off yesterday and it feels like it should be Friday already.

Hi Kelly..jump on in!

Lushy here last night too. 2 Glasses of red wine then a Vodka with black cherry fresca. :noway:
