    Hello fellow lushes....back from vacation and I think we set records for the amount of booze consumed this week. The day usually started with a few mimosas or bloody marys, then went on to some sort of cocktail (vodka and water or tangueray and soda), then champagne in the afternoon before dinner and then wine with dinner and then margaritas, martinis or white russians after dinner!

    Needless to say the scale went up about 10 lbs, already back day 5 lbs after one day, so I am assuming its mostly water weight because I actually ate pretty good and got in a lot of good walks on the beach.

    Back to no drinking during the week and really keeping it under control on the weekends. Hope everyone is having a great week!

    Robin, more good vibes being sent your way
    Chloe, wb, sounds like you had a lushy good time...way to rock the bar
    Kate, I want to go with you...sounds like fun...I'll behave, I promise!!
    Amy, I like fat tire as well...not so much for miller lite unless I am at a ball game - or - racetrack on a hot day. Already thinking of our summer things

    Tonight will be lushy...dancing makes me thirsty and bars make me drink...nice combo, I'd say

    Ended up having a few beers last night. Actually made me feel a tiny bit better and I slept great. Head feels a little less foggy today. Getting in lots of fluids again but still not much of an appetite, laying low again today and just relaxing, hoping to really kick this before Saturday.

    As for booze tonight who knows, alcohol kills germs right? :wink: Then again who knows if it's germs or sinus'

    I had to take my cat to the ER last night because of the flea and tick med that I used. I changed brands and apparently some brands are not really good for kitties. He was neurotoxic and shaking and tremoring. Poor thing could barely walk. I love the little guy. But, I'm gonna miss that "G" as well.

    Wade, nice job, sir!!

    Wolf, so sorry about the kitty. Intellectually, we (as in, people with fur babes) know it's the best thing, but it definitely doesn't make it any easier. :heart:

    Nothing for me again tonight. Whoo hoo!

    So how was the wine? ;)

    I've stuck to it, yay! Last alcohol I've had was last Saturday. That makes today Day 6 for me. Ha, I've lost like 4 pounds. Its mostly because I'm not ending up on the couch by 7 PM with a glass of wine and not doing a darned thing afterward.

    Getting stuff done, going to the health club, riding my bike, doing chores around the house. A nice reset for me. In 24 days I board a plane to the Dominican Replublic. I plan on having a cocktail on the plane.

    :ohwell: poor kitty

    It's Friday, not sure if the fiancé and I will go out to dinner or just get take out. I'm sure there will be drinks though but not too many because I'd rather not be hungover for our engagement party tomorrow :smile:

    Awesome job Wade. I wish I could find the mojo you found. Ah .... dreaming of actually getting stuff done. I only wish.

    hmmm, I still haven't reverted to my lushy ways yet. Couple of glasses of wine last night after a crappy day at work, but I've had nothing else since Sunday. I even decided I'd rather have a nice mug of hot chocolate tonight than finish the bottle of wine :huh: :noway: :sick:

    Being an only child I've always wanted a sibling :smile:

    It's been great, we got grinders and wings and watched How I Met Your Mother for awhile and then my shows were on (Nikita and Supernatural). Fiancé is working out right now as I have wine and watch TV :smile: with all the windows still open!

    I laughed so hard last night I am actually sore this morning. If you don't know Jeff Dunham you should look him up on Utube. We didn't get home until after one in the morning. I haven't stayed up that late in ages.

    We bought FAmous Daves and ate it in the parking lot along with a Newcastle that I brought for the occasion but that was pretty much if for my drinking.

    Have a wonderful lushy day.

    Love Jeff Dunham! I made an Achmed sign for my husband when he pulls into the garage so he knows where to stop so he doesn't pull up too far so we have room to walk by. Silence! I killlll you!

    Wolf. it was the best. he was trying out material for his halloween special and i thought i was going to die. I am so glad someone finally knows who I was talking about. You can get an Achmed ring tone. "Silence, I keel you!" Soo gooooood.


    oh I had a lot of wine at daddy's bday party and hit the vodka at home so I am a bit drunk. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
