    Uhh YEAH!!!!
    The temptation is SOOOOO strong, but I think I'd feel too guilty, didn't have a great calorie burning workout this morning PLUS if I go out for mexican margaritas are a MUST and I REALLY didn't want to drink until tomorrow.....think I just talked myself out of it :cry:

    Hey guys! I haven't posted in quite a while here - I've been pretty good lately!

    On a serious note though, does anyone in this group (particularly women) ever worry about your health and drinking? Or do you ever worry with anything out of the normal you suddenly have some sort of disease due to alcohol? I might be a bit of a hypochondriac (sp?) but I'm going through this right now. I drink, in my opinion, less than I have in times past and over all I'm very healthy. But I'm having some "women's issues" and when I google the symptoms the some of the results are terrifying!

    I bought the best pin at faire. It says:


    I think my "Check Liver" light just came on!


    :laugh: I wear it proudly:wink:

    That is hilarious!! Love it!
    And I think my "check liver" light was flashing so I've been really good (so far) this week:
    0 drinks on Monday, Tuesday and today :laugh:
    Of course, Saturday is Cinco de Mayo and we always go out and celebrate that (just because it's an excuse to go out and drink!) and then my bday is Tuesday so I'll probably drink then but still....

    *whew*! That's the Mama Lush we all know and love! :drinker:

    No booze yesterday but I ate like crap...which is just as annoying. :grumble:

    Made it last night too! This is the longest I've lasted, meaning normally when I go one week with a few 0's in a row the next week I usually end up drinking every night. Not this week.

    Monday - 0
    Tuesday - 0
    Wednesday - 0!

    Probably a 0 for tonight as I need to get up early to get my hour and a half work out done before we go shopping for my moms, grams and fiancés moms dresses for the wedding.

    I cannot wait to have some wine tomorrow though, it'll be nice to hopefully relax a little after this stressful week :smile:

    I buckled last night...vodka sodas at restaurant (4) and margs at home hanging out on the deck (3)

    I tried 1800 tequila mix and the directions say, mix equal parts of mix with tequila. Who am I to argue? Holy **** is all I have to say!! My body is definitely not used to the tequila.

    Krisco, I am hoping for the best for your family.:flowerforyou:
    Kat, good job on the 0's :drinker:
    Mama Lush, glad that your back on board. Ron's 2nd interview is tomorrow with US Bank. If I remember, that's who Holly works for, right? He would be at EPOC. She would probably know where that is.
    Kate, enjoy the margs...I did :bigsmile:

    Shout-out to all I missed...

    Hah this week has a food/alcohol link going on. Tonight's dinner was steak in peppercorn sauce, it was just crying out for a glass of red (or 2) to go with it, how could I refuse? :drinker:

    Hahaha just a dedicated lush =] I love effen, especially the black cherry. We bought the huge bottle that has a stand and spout once, it went pretty quick.
