Carpets tomorrow, then I can work on getting this house back together. Wine every night. I'm usually too tired to drink more than 1 glass so that's good. I've dropped all that Thanksgiving weight. But I indulged in In-N-Out last night and I swear it was the best thing I've eaten in forever :D

Thanks, Gary. :* cat is home recovering and doing much better. I may just sleep tonight. My house is still a damn mess. Ashley, 4 lbs is amazing!

My cat is in the hospital and my house is torn up. :'( I will be losing weight this week and I will be drinking

Yup, may as well just wrap up the year here. I'm sure the lushes will be busy with the holidays.

I feel ya, Robin. My kitchen needs work as well but I've decided to wait after the holidays. It's just too overwhelming to think about right now. Congrats, Ashley!! I finally got on the scale and am up 1 1/2 pounds. I'm hoping to take care of that by next week.

I hear you, Robin. Then that's followed up by beating myself up about it. It's not a healthy cycle to put ourselves in. :'( I'm in the calm before the storm when the painters and carpet guys come next week. I have a list a mile long of things I need to do. Why didn't someone remind me that replacing carpets is pretty much…

Me too, Ann. We got some cool weather finally, so red wine is perfect. I am upping my exercise though, so do feel better about that.

I'm avoiding the scale for a few days. Indulged in plenty of carbs and wine. Feeling very sluggish. I could use a 0. Maybe tonight?

Happy Thanksgiving lushes! 85 degree temps here, we're enjoying my brother's outdoor kitchen/patio today! B) :drinker:

Hi Bridget!! WOW Robin, that's quite an ambitious menu! Enjoy your day with Doug. We're headed to trivia night at the brewery this evening. Meeting another couple who's newly married son is in town with his wife. There should be about 10 of us or so. Always a good time and we hope that between us old folks and the…

hi Ann! Good to see you. Good job on moderating, Ashley. Enjoy your time off!! TGIF lushes! Short next week for everyone I hope :drinker:

Gary, I know the holidays are usually people's trigger for anxiety. But I guess my year has been so sh!tty that I'm kind of looking forward to the family time, even though not having my MIL around is going to be hard on everyone. I was listening/singing to music today as I put my groceries away and actually whispered to…

It is very quiet. Busy lushes. Good job on the no hangovers, Ashley. Last time I had one, I promised myself no more. At my age, I just can't deal with them. I did drink more wine than my usual over the weekend, but it was a slow, all day long sipping, so I woke up fine. I didn't sleep very well though, so there is still…

My dad is Sydney too, so I'm thinking it's more for great grandpa. But I'll be her favorite, no doubt ;) I've managed to get in a fairly decent exercise routine this week. Hope to keep that up. Still drinking wine. Happy weekend lushes! :drinker:

Isn't she cute? Artemis Sydney 8 lbs 6 oz <3

I'm a Great Aunt!!

Yay Kate!! So exciting, just in time for the holidays :) I think the lushes should plan a trip to Maui since you're an official homeowner/resident now B)

Sounds perfect, Ashley. especially the sh!tt ton of wine ;) :drinker: BTW...we're grown ups here...the fact that MFP changes whatever you wrote to *kitten* is annoying. (Of course I have a mouth of a sailor, so I might be biased)

Robin, I agree with Gary, but it all sounds like stress could be the cause of your ailments too. At least partly. You've been through the ringer. Hope things settle down for you and you're feeling better. Tough way to get 0s. Finally got in a good workout...woohoo! Of course I followed it with a bday dinner for my SIL…

Oh yum, Gary. I'm one of those weird people that don't really like Thanksgiving food, so turkey enchiladas sound good!

Gary, that sounds like so much fun! (The trikes, not the cutting down on booze) I've got a couple of weeks before I'm getting the entire house painted and the carpets replaced, so it's time to reestablish my exercise routine. Really. I'm going to do it. Red wine here. Hope all is well with everyone. What do you all do for…

Posted a long reply...then it went poof. *sigh* Well done, Ashley! Still drinking wine, but switched to red with the cooler weather. Kate must be busy with her fabulous Maui life B)

Take me with you, Gary!! Hi Kim :)

Ashley, the only time I see 4am is when I wake up at that hour and can't get back to sleep! Ann, I feel you. If we ever could combine moderating alcohol with a good exercise routine, we'd be golden. It was 104 here yesterday with similar temps today. I did nothing, except manage to get my haircut where of course I had to…

The lushes are quiet! I'm determined to start a somewhat normal routine. I'm sleeping like crap, and I know exercising more would help. So despite the 90+degree temps here, I will be working out. Still having my wine. Hope everyone else is doing well :drinker:

Feel better, Robin! :flowerforyou:

I'm doing you lushes proud :drinker:

Enjoy the wedding and family time, Ann! I actually feel a little off...nothing urgent on my to-do list, for the first time in what seems like forever. I still have that nagging feeling that lurks, telling me I've got a crisis that I need to deal with. Ok universe, that doesn't mean you need to provide me with one, just…

haha Robin, I figured it might be worth it to you to try to find it :D MIL was very neat and clean but had lots of storage and once we opened cabinets, closets, filing cabinets it was a whole different story. She had check registers from 1995 :o We finished up yesterday. Neither of us had the energy to be sad about it.…
