    HI Lushes... I try to check in here at least once a month, but dang, I am really late this month.

    Just want to congrat everyone who has quit/or trying to quit smoking.

    Gary - Glad you are mended and will soon be able to lush again.

    Kat - Love the costume!

    Welcome Eric!

    Syd - Glad you are feeling better. I really like your new picture.

    Robin - Sorry about your dad.

    Is it just me... when Robin posts she has Vodka and Pom I read it as vodka and porn?

    Just chugging along here. I am trying to moderate my drinking to one night a week because I have gained 10 lbs and am not pleased. So far.

    "vodka and porn" :laugh:

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-6oz of cab and a few sips of Lenny's rum and cider
    Wednesday-probably another glass of wine

    23 days of work and 49 days until departure....yes I will continue to remind you don't worry :wink:

    I am getting super excited. I applied for a bunch of clerk IV positions with 2 of Maui's hospitals. I just received my first response and I "qualified" for the position, fingers crossed something comes from one of the 12 apps I submitted.
    I also just took a test to be a postal city carrier. Oh how I would LOVE to work outdoors. I am excited about the prospect of doing something completely different than what I do now!!!!

    Diana, that made me laugh out loud. Last night was just vodka, no porn(pom). It was really windy last night we lost power 3 times for about 5 minutes and then at 5:30 we lost it until 1:00 this morning. It really sucks. How did you fair in the wind?

    Hello Lushes! I am so far behind on this thread. I spilled water on my laptop at home on Saturday...and I'm still hoping and praying that the keyboard becomes fully functional. I can enter my password for my account minus ONE LETTER that will not work. UGH. I don't know what I will do if I can't get it to work :( It's been in a bag of rice for a few days. I'll wait until Friday to try to see if it works again.

    Robin, I am so incredibly sorry about your Dad. Very sweet what you wrote about him being back with your Mom now though. My thoughts are with you.

    I'm attempting to save my liver this week because next week is Thanksgiving, and I have to be at my in-laws house for 4 days. Complete with all the family (& 5 dogs + 1 cat)....I drink a lot while I'm there. And nap a lot too. LOL

    I heard it was crazy windy up there, Robin. I bet Gary lost power too.
    Vodka and porn...good combo. :laugh: Nice to see you Miss Wolfie. <3
    I was thinking about you the other day Katie when I was watching Hawaii Life on HGTV. Do you ever watch? It's all about people relocating there. I'm excited for you!
    Apparently I cannot go longer than 3 days without booze because I already know there will be wine tonight.

    Up in Kirkland to visit grandbaby. Lost power for 24 hours. Got a bit chilly in the house.

    Bridget, I spilled water on my keyboard. Don't give up hope. It took a few weeks to dry out, but it finally is working right.

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

    Tuesday - 2 ciders and a cocktail
    Wednesday - 4 ciders and a cocktail
    Tonight will be a 0 and not sure about Friday. Keep it low. I also need to rest my liver for Thanksgiving. I don't want to get schmamered every night like we usually do, but I'm sure I will drink too much wine collectively.

    Robin :cry: Sorry Honey!!!! xoxo

    Monday-0
    Tuesday-6oz of wine
    Wednesday-12 oz of wine
    Thursday-2 beers...really really strong beers
    Tonight, my boss is taking us out for my farewell dinner. We are staying over night at a local hotel cause we like to drink + dinner with boss and wife = kind of uncomfortable if not booze is present :wink:
    Otherwise the weekend is pretty low key. Going to visit some friends who just had a baby tomorrow on the way home, otherwise chicken pot pie and alcohol in the comfort of our temporary home :laugh:
