    ♪I got a zero, ♪I got a zero, ♫that never happens,♫ that never happens, I am so surprised. I just didn't feel like having a cocktail or a glass of wine at all.

    Major power outage at my husband's office so he's on his way home. I imagine that will mean we most likely will go out to lunch and there will be drinks.
    Happy weekend lushes!

    Hey Lushes. I hope you all had a good weekend. I had another zero on Friday. I was extremely moderate all weekend and my Broncos won so it was a good weekend. I can't believe we are already halfway thru October and I haven't had one pumpkin ale yet. :noway: Okay so lets get thru another week. :drinker:

    Friday - 2 pumpkin beers, 1 cider, 2ish glasses of wine. Fell asleep watching American Horror Story. So yeah, obviously I was tired. We had tried to go to a Halloween parade, but we got there late and it was over.

    Saturday - split a beer in the hot tub during naps, had a tiny glass of wine before anniversary dinner = 1. Had a dirty martini and 2 glasses of wine at dinner and stopped for another glass of wine and a champagne after. Oh and we stopped and got a bottle to drink when we got home at 11:30 because we needed more wine in the hot tub. I maybe drank 2 ounces. So I had about 6.

    Sunday - had a beer at late lunch.

    0 tonight, maybe a couple tomorrow (we're going to dinner and then to see Dracula), hoping for a 0 Wednesday, and then having friends from out of town Thursday but hope to moderate a little. Friday night I'm doing my birthday dinner with friends and then hot tubbing. I hope not to get too hammered. But then Eric and I are taking an almost 2 week hiatus and he's going to retest blood. Speaking of that, he ran into his doctor at our after dinner drink spot. That was awkward....

    :laugh: at running into his doctor while out drinking. I remember running into my kids teacher at the store once... all I had was booze in the shopping cart :drinker: :blush:
    Speaking of booze, we had a great Friday afternoon lunch. Margaritas and good food. came home and had some wine but I didn't get schmarrered. Saturday I did though. I lost count. :/
    So a big 0 yesterday. Probably another tonight and maybe Tuesday? Wednesday I'm off to the beach which always means a drink or 2. But overall I'd like to moderate and get in some good exercise....drop a few on the scale.
    Have a good week lushes!

    Yeah, Eric told him it was our anniversary, and his doctor was like, "So you're out celebrating then......" Ummm...yeah. Because it's 10:30pm and we're certainly not eating dinner. Funny about the teacher and the booze in the cart Syd!

    Monday - 0

    And we have an almost full bottle of red sitting on the counter. I really am concerned about it going bad. So I will probably have a glass before we go out to dinner tonight before seeing Dracula. :smile: Trying to keep my drinks to 4 or less tonight.

    I also have an open bottle of red I don't want to waste. :drinker: Maybe 1 glass tonight? Or might wait until tomorrow when I know I'll be at the beach during the day and having drinks. Decisions, decisions.

    The trampoline class was fun...for the first 10 minutes, a little bit of a challenge for the rest of the class. It was a 60 minute class. While it was a lot of fun, I don't know if I'll be going back anytime soon. My entire body hurts today. Hahaha, that means it was a good workout, right?!

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - will be 0!...and I'm going to the gym after work too! That'll be 3 days in a row! I'm killing it this week!

    My monthly check in with the lushes!

    Trampoline class...how fun!! I understand the 10 minutes thing. I remember renting a bouncy castle for my son's birthday way back when and I jumped in that thing for hours...I thought I would never walk again between my calves, core and my hamstring muscles...ouchy!!!

    Glad to see everyone lushing along.

    I have been drinking lots and feel like a poofy fluffer.

    Bloody Marys are my choice tonight.

    Got back from the Wooly worm festival and Renaissance Fair last weekend in North Carolina and had a blast. Dressed up for the first time and it was awesome! We got there too late for the beer tasting but our flasks did the trick. The Fall colors were just beginning and it was so pretty.

    Catch all of you next month!

    I've been to Woolly Worm Fest Wolf! My parents have a place in Banner Elk. It's was a cute little fest.

    M - 0
    T - a little wine before leaving, 2 beers at dinner, 2 small glasses of red at Dracula = 4
    W - we finished off that open bottle, so 1
    R - Having friends for dinner. I'm getting 2 bottles of red and some vodka. I hope to keep it to a couple cocktails (going to muddle some cranberries and mix with some kind of vodka and apricot seltzer) and a couple glasses of wine
    F - birthday dinner out with my drinker girlfriends and hot tubbing after. I'd really like to moderate. I think I'm going to not drink wine in the hot tub (beer or vodka instead) and try to get to bed before midnight.

    Saturday starts our almost 2 week hiatus!

    Hi wolfie!!

    Trampoline class would make me dizzy I think :sick:

    I had a great day at the beach yesterday (see profile pic) but I needed it since I spent a good portion of Tuesday dealing with ANOTHER fraud case! Someone opened up a Walmart charge card in my name and charged over $1400 to the account. Scary. Previously someone had used my AMEX to charge stuff but in this instance the person had enough info on me to actually OPEN an account in my name.

    Soooo...I had to contact all the credit bureaus and put a fraud alert on my accounts. Contact Walmart where I informed them I have never shopped there, nor would I ever, so please handle this immediately...oh and the charges took place in Connecticut and I've never been there either. :mad:
    Thieves SUCK HAIRY DONKEY BALLS!

    On a good note I just sent a deposit for a Spring Break trip. I know, it's not even 2016 yet but I need something to look forward to. The son still likes to hang with us and I found a good deal at the place we like to stay..so that makes me happy.
    I actually had only 1 glass of wine yesterday at the beach...but practically a whole bottle Tuesday while I was dealing with all the bullsh!t. So this hasn't been a good a week as I expected it to be. Let's see if I can put together a few good days now. The husband's Cubs got their butts kicked so there will be no more baseball partying going on in this household. In a way I'm a little relieved (but don't tell him that)
    Cheers lushes! :drinker:

    Boo Syd. That totally sucks.

    I had 3 cocktails and probably 2 big glasses of wine last night. I'm a little slow today, but nothing some coffee can't take care of.

    I went out with a bang Friday. I had a beer and a wine before dinner. Probably 3 glasses of wine at dinner, and a lychee martini, and a lemondrop shot. Then I had a beer and a glass or two of wine in the hot tub after. I was only up till maybe 12:30, which isn't terrible for a weekend, but I didn't drink enough water so I was uber hungover till about 3 Saturday. I dragged my @ss to the coffee shop and farmers market, but it was hard. Then I rallied around 3 and took the kids to Target and grocery shopping. I was grocery shopping at 6pm on a Saturday..... And it was kind of great. I was in bed asleep by 10 and day 1 of no drinking was super easy because I was hungover. So here we go on our two weeks! Eric went running Saturday, then we hiked about 3 miles with the kids yesterday and he got up and went spinning at 6am this morning! I'm proud of him. Have a great week lushes.
