Sauvignon blanc Gary! New Zealands are my favorite. Brancott is my go to and it's like $10 in KY. Nobilo is a good one too. I also love dry rose' during the summer. There are so many and different vineyards produce every year so I couldn't even give a recommendation. Oh and hi by the way. :) Been drinking as usual, taking…

Hey everyone! Been lushing along as usual. We leave for Bonnaroo on Thursday so no sense in stopping now! Actually I will get a 0 tonight, but that's probably it. When we return, I want to take a couple week break either no alcohol at all, or none during the week and try to moderate a little better on weekends. I need a…

Hey everyone. Yes, we definitely celebrate Derby! We had 18 kids at our house under the age of 8 with adults also. Our house got trashed, but totally worth it. I drank all week.... Trying to back off a bit. Oaks Day I took a tequila shot around 11am. Enough said. I'm still lushing along, trying to stay dry on Mondays, and…

We had that wet sticky snow Tuesday/Wednesday. We got 9.5" in KY. I got 2 0's this week!

I had quite the weekend. Drank WAY too much Friday so had a waste of a Saturday. It kept my drinks down the rest of the weekend though! Tonight is work happy hour, so I'm off to drink beer soon! And it's lovely here. Too bad we're getting more rain tomorrow, my day off..... We're having major flooding in Louisville. Our…

No 0s here. Maybe one tonight? I seriously need to firm up my diet (and boozing). Plan is to start next week!

I got a 0 Monday. Then made up for it the next night. BIL came over for dinner and we drank 2 bottles of wine, some ciders, and a cocktail. Mostly in the hot tub time machine. Therefor, we just split a bottle of white with our crab legs yesterday. I was thinking I may get a 0 tonight, but it's supposed to be 71 here!

Knock on my, my family seems healthy. We were cooped up most of the weekend, but did get out to dinner Saturday night. It's the first real food Daphne had eaten since Thursday lunch. And then they canceled school today for ice.... Luckily she has after school care she can go to. I did alright moderating. I starting…

I got a 0 on Monday. But I have been working from home taking care of my daughter all day, who has the flu, and I am just now at 4:06 getting ready to pour my first glass of wine. I consider that a success. Since about right between Thanksgiving and Christmas, my son has had strep twice, the flu once, and another strep…

Gary, I drink decaf tea at night if I want to eat. The Tazo Dessert Delights are amazing. I have tried lemon loaf and butterscotch blondie and love them both. I've been lushing along. I have blood work tomorrow so thought maybe I'd abstain a few days. I had a 0 Monday and drank a decent amount the last 2 nights. I had work…

Happy late Birthday Gary! I've been behaving pretty well. Had a 0 Monday and then a 2 and a 3. Today is my daughter's 6th birthday so we are going to her favorite restaurant which also happens to have 1/2 price bottles of wine tonight!

I was a little slow this morning too.... I had a meeting yesterday on my day off so took my kids (another snow day for my daughter.....) to my friend's and after had a few ciders there. Then had more at home and stayed up too late watching Shameless. We just started the 2nd season. I love that show.

Hi all! My 2018 has been off to a little rough start. My son turned 3 Sunday and was diagnosed with the flu Saturday morning. We had to reschedule his party. Luckily he's little enough not to really care. So now we will have birthdays 2 weekends in a row; Daphne's 6th birthday is coming up too! I was actually a little…

Well, it was good while it lasted. Or maybe not. B) We went to dinner and it was half price bottle night so naturally we drank one. Then had a scmirnoff seltzer at home. Then I made a decaf tea. Yay me. I'll be drinking tonight since it's Friday and all but try to take it easy. Need to dump a little holiday fluff.

I'm not sure I had a 0 all of December..... Now I have had 2, working on a 3rd tonight. Temps in single digits in KY. Frozen pipes and ripped out ceilings! Good times. Happy New Year lushes!

Caught a nice buzz and danced my tail off with some co-workers at my Christmas party last night. Good times. Yes...TGIF!

6.5 days here! But I'm on off for a week and a day. Although I may take an extra day to have 12 days off in a row..... Had a few drinks last night. I don't see the trend stopping.... I drank too much over the weekend. Going to try to keep better track of drinks had in given night.

Glad to hear you're ok out there Sydney!

Sunday was 3 ciders. Monday I had a cider and 2 small glasses of wine. Tonight is a holiday social. I'll try to moderate. My diet is still going well. Down 4 pounds since last Monday.

Hey lushes. No 0's here but only 1 Monday and 2 each Tuesday/Wednesday. I've been sticking with the keto diet and am down 3.5 pounds from Monday as of this morning. I know a lot is water weight but I am thrilled and not feeling deprived. Here's to hoping I can not totally derail from the diet and booze moderation this…

Sounds yummy! We had fun with family. Drank a bit too much wine, but still knocked out a 5k on Thanksgiving. My diet wasn't awful but not great. May get a couple 0's this week. Starting keto diet so will see how that goes! I think I am only up a pound from a couple weeks ago. And by 2 weeks ago, I mean 2 Monday's ago.…

Hello all. I have been moderating quite well this week. I was going to have a 0 Monday, but got a tattoo and one added onto and I forgot how painful they are! It called for a beer. But only 1. Every other night I've been averaging 2 drinks. Tonight I'm going out with my friends for birthday dinner so likely I'll drink too…

It's quiet in here. I thought maybe November thread had started, but nope! I did pretty good this weekend. Drank most of the day Saturday and yesterday but I have not been hungover in like 3 weeks so I consider that success! I'll have my usual 0 on Monday and maybe another, but not making any promises.

Cute baby!! Hi Kate! I had a 0 Monday. I was trying to get 2 0's up till Thanksgiving, but I don't know that'll happen. Workouts have been pretty good. Work keeps getting in the way, but not terrible. The scale was down this morning which has not happened in a LONG time, so hopefully it'll stick.

Sorry Robin! Sounds terrible. I got a 0 Monday. I will be drinking tonight. Busy at work and a night meeting on top of it. We got to my sister's for Thanksgiving because she is a dr. and works part of the day. She's in Mt. Pleasant right outside of Charleston SC. We stop and stay in downtown Asheville on the way which is…

Got 2 0's this week! Drank a little more on Halloween but not terrible. I'm sleeping much better. It has gotten quite quiet in here..... Haven't heard from Kate in a while.

I did good this weekend! Was never even a tiny bit hungover and it was AMAZING! I'm hoping this will help me to curb my quantity. I'm pretty serious about watching my food and drink the next 3 weeks before Thanksgiving. Then hopefully will not undo all my good work that week!!

I have not stayed up till 4am in years.... I do not plan on doing it again soon! We had fun at the show. Drank plenty. Had a 0 Tuesday and was planning on one yesterday, but got together with a couple friends I don't see often for lunch and we had wine. Then a couple ciders. They have been out of our cider everywhere in…

I've been lushing along. Really earned it Friday. My sister and I stayed up till 4am. 4am!! We had to have mimosas on the way to the pumpkin patch to get right Saturday. And then I basically had a delayed hangover and felt like crap from about 7pm till I went to bed. We're headed to Cincinnati for a concert tonight and…

Enjoy the beach Syd! I have been drinking a decent amount this week. I had every intention of not drinking last night and then work happy hour happened. Then Eric was gone till 10, so I typically like to drink when I'm along watching my shows. So I did. Oh well. Anniversary dinner and ballet tonight and a wedding tomorrow.…
