Cheers! It's Friday (the drinking thread)

JNerd

DS is napping, Squeaker is napping. I've actually accomplished shit today. And DS is spending the next two nights at my mothers.
Cheers!

Still at work. Blergh.

JNerd

Wanna trade? I'll work for you and you can play with my toddler????
I'll even throw in a bottle of whatever to sweeten the deal

JNerd

I plan on picking up a few bottles when I run to Costco this afternoon. Hubby doesn't leave until tomorrow morning, so we will actually have some time to ourselves~ish.
And if we don't drink them together then at least I am setup for the time he is gone

I cant wait to get a nice wine buzz again. Only 2 more months to go! Lol.

Cant help but feel like half the reason my anxiety is so fucking ridiculous lately is bc I cant drink wine at my leisure.

angelashly

No fair I still have an hour and a half before I'll be home

No thanks. I get to take care of a sick child and husband at home. I will need all the boozes.

I kinda figured. That's a deal not even hubby will take me up on

thebanich

I will take care of all of the squishes tho. I'm prejudiced toward children over the age of one.

JNerd

True. But, it's Friday. So the drinking starts early, no?

fancynewbeesly

DH should be bringing home wine. Reese fell asleep on the car ride home today from the mall---now is still napping on the couch. It is 5 o'clock and I have tried to wake her up. 

*sighs*

bedtime will be a blast!

Hiding from the toddler, eating a hot dog to hold me over until dinner.

There is one person on my Facebook food that this is just not satire for. She must post 35 times a day about a combo of breastfeeding, natural birth, cosleeping and babywearing. 

Perhaps I should share it. 

Eta: Oh God, how did I forget SAHM-ing and sharing articles from "Chicks on the Right" about welfare queens and shit.

I am breastfeeding my screaming teething baby on day 3 with no naps and less than 4 hours of sleep per night so maybe that's where my sensitivity is coming from, though. I certainly don't feel like I know how to do things right.

If you're not an asshole, it's not about you. Trust me.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is on. I am pleased. I am still getting naush at night. I haven't eaten dinner in a week at least... But clearly we all know the kinds of lunches I have been eating.

We are watching this too. We have started a list of places to eat during our vacation based on this show. It has become more of a foodcation now.

Can't decide if I want SO to bRing home wine or the makings for a good Moscow mule.
Right now I am knee deep in doll house play time. Since none of the gear matches I am setting up a doll house yard sale but my kid doesn't get it and is getting annoyed with me.

Yard sale

OK @TyrannosaurusLex‌ you need to share. I have an obsession with cardamom. It all started when Presidents Choice did their recipes to riches thing and there was that ice cream "Kulfi Karma". Life changing.

jorkz821

I'm at the start of a 4 day weekend, whoooot! No drinking but we still have some leftover Halloween candy that is calling my name. Maybe after bedtime. Not sharing.

So, we thought better of it and stopped TTC since DH's main job ends in January and he has nothing lined up.

He had an interview today, and I think both of us might die of anxiety about it. The interviewer said it could be several weeks before they decide anything. Torture.

We still don't know what to do for date night.

Drinks/apps, walk around downtown, comedy club, bar?

angelashly

I'm getting hangry so needs to hurry with our pizza.

Dd celebrated her birthday with preschool today and they made her a crown and super cute book.

MrsT0514

She is too cute @angelashly! Happy birthday, little angel!!

It's about the woman in my FB newsfeed that said the only acceptable reason to not BF is being a heroin addict...

You are not her TLex.  

oh my. She sounds like a real peach.

Opened cider and sent request for more booze.

I'm here, hoping this thread will inspire me to be fun. I have the beginnings of a cold so I'm tempted to just call it a night already.

angelashly

I am now trying to do homework and need to write a persuasive article to change a policy on:
Maintaining the legal drinking age
Restricting alcohol ads on tv
Restricting drink specials
Advocate more money spent on treatments
Increase DUI checkpoints
Stricter DUI laws and penalties


I am having a hard time picking because I think they all need to change.

jesuisfatiguee

I bought wine. I left it in the car. I'll get it after DS goes down.

More money for treatment is the most important thing on this list, IMO. Assuming we're talking about drug/alcohol treatment.

Neighbours for the win. Few girls from across the street are playing with Sammie and I am watching dvr of htgawm .

Yes we are and that is at the top of my list. I'm researching now since we have to cite 3 journals in the article.

Hair has been cut. It looks nice, and I'm hoping it's something that will look as nice once I have to do it myself.

I have a cider in hand and some Scandal to watch. Sounds like a good night.

JNerd

Drinking red wine, which makes me amorous, and ds is at my moms. Hubby is leaving in the morning for 5 days so all I can say is Squeaker better fall asleep quickly and stay down. I have plans other than dealing with her tonight.

Is there a turkey in there too?

Yeah, and some cheese.

angelashly

I took it to mean the state providing more money for drug and alcohol treatment @Sterling13‌

It is for my drug awareness class

theseaword

Oooh that just reminded me I want to buy My Cousin Vinny. DH has never seen it and it has yet to appear on Netflix. Maybe I'll go do that while I pretend I won't be asleep by 8:45.
