    HI CHLOE!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven't heard from you in a while!!! How are things??? xo

    10 days of work....although the excitement is kind of turning into stress....I was asked to continue to work remotely after we move, so now I am trying to get everything squared away and scanned so I can review, if needed.
    But 28 days until I can see beautiful Hawaii again is very very very very exciting!!!!!!

    look at all those 0's!! Yeah..not happening here. :drinker:
    I did have my 1st upper body workout with weights in about 6 months! I'm pretty excited the shoulder is ready for some light weights to regain strength. I'm sore today...but in a good way.

    Thanks Chloe!! Preston's graduating with a BA in Psychology and his plan is to get his Masters in Social Work and become licensed to open his own practice. He's worked with both at risk youth and the elderly so he still has some time to figure out where he wants to specialize...but I'm thinking probably kids. He has amazing patience. He did not get that from me. :D

    Hey all! I'm back! Long 2 days of work out of town, but met a lot of people and had a little fun.
    Monday - 2 wines at dinner, 2 beers and a cocktail after at BW3. I would have not drank, but the others were, so of course I'm drinking on the company dime!
    Tuesday - glass of wine on the flight home
    Wednesday - 3 wines are my Christmas party and then ??? wines at one of my husband's clients' parties. They are developers and their house was ridiculous. They had a bourbon cellar with no less than 200 bottles of bourbon.
    Thursday will be a 0.
    Friday we have Eric's work party so I'll most likely drink too much as usual. Saturday we have a kid birthday party early evening and hopefully will do nothing after. I need some down time.

    Well last week was a fail. Drank way too much Wednesday and even more Friday. I was doing so-so until the fire ball shots came out at Eric's work party. Then the tequila.....ugh. Was hanging Saturday. Therefor I had 2 small glasses of wine and went to sleep at 10 Saturday night. But yesterday I started drinking wine around 4 at family birthdays and kept on till I went to bed at 10:30. Just a little sleepy today. Still, I don't usually drink on Sundays, so that topped off my lushy week. Tis the season I suppose.....

    This Friday I have Christmas dinner with my girlfriends and typically we hot tub after. I am going to either try to end that early and maybe not do it at all. I hate wasting Saturdays because I feel like crap.

    So the plan is 0's Monday and Tuesday. May be watching Grey's Wednesday which usually calls for some drinks. If that's the case, I'll have ciders. I think I'll be getting back on the wagon for a little bit in January.

    We had a awesome and productive weekend!!!!

    Friday-2 Manhattans and 10oz of wine
    Saturday-we had a nice lunch with my Aunt and Uncle. Came home, made fruit cakes, apple sauce and apple pie. 3 1/2 beers and 1/2 bottle of wine
    Sunday-we made over 100 pierogies and then decided to make some chocolate chip cookies...I mean if there are morsels they must be used :wink: 5 cocktails and 2 beers....seems like a lot, and it is, but we started early. I was way more drunk Saturday!!!!

    Yay for the zeros. Yay for the fails. (I don't feel all alone) 4 more wake ups until I wake up on the beach. started to replace the kitchen faucet yesterday. Doug got about half way thru the process and then was able to finish. I hope he gets it done today before I get home.

    The son is home and so is all his crap!! Spent the weekend organizing and doing laundry. I think I've made progress. Need to go through a little more...add to the donation pile, throw *kitten* out and box up the rest. We got our tree and decorated it as well. It smells so good! Drank plenty all weekend but over many hours so I never felt horrible. Maybe I'll manage a 0 or 2 this week? Definitely need to get in some workouts.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 1.5 ciders

    Probably a 0 tonight too. Maybe.... OK, I may have a beer. Or stop for a bottle of wine. Daphne is sick so I am leaving early today. And I left early Tuesday. I wouldn't mind since my motivation seems to lack around the holidays, but deadlines don't seem to mind that. :/
