Anyone drinking tonight

[sabrinaml]

Or just me?

[sabrinaml]

I need a good glass or bottle of wine. Night 3 of hanging out with my in-laws by myself since DH has either taught or worked late every night this week so far. Also, C is being very clingy this evening.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Me! I am! Blue Moon and watching TV. Trying to find something to snack on.

I took an octoberfest from my mom's house. She'd likely get passed if she knew since she only had two, but I guarantee they'd both be there at Christmas, untouched.

I considered drinking it, but h isn't home yet and I didn't want to drink alone.

Blah. Want wine, just posted in randoms but to summarize, H is cutting back drinking so I'm being supportive. And wishing I could be supportive with more alcohol.

Did he give up drinking while you were pregnant? You've already been supportive for 9 months!

Nursing now, I'll have something later. I think DH finished the beer left over from LBB's party which leaves me with red wine or hard alcohol. ..

Drinking all the wine in the house. Bedtime was a nightmare, hopefully he sleeps for a bit!! Although I usually drink some most nights, tonight was more of a sanity keeping drinking.

Ok I'm just rambling now. Stop self

OK so I'm a shit wife, but if you were picking a beverage for when (if)baby eventually sleeps, would you make it:

a) Rye & ginger
b) Gin & Tonic

We have no wine, but plenty of the harder stuff! And sorry H, I'll just drink in another room...

Gin & ginger

I know it wasn't one of your options but it's one of my favs!

With a lime if you got it

I need some wine asap! Way to stressed with no progress being made with our house.

I'm too damn tired tonight to even drink! Plus I might have gotten tipsy...ok buzzed...I mean drunk wine tasting this past Saturday so I'm taking it easy. The girl child was a hellion tonight and finally put herself to sleep! +1 for mommy!

[pghtruelove]

Where did you go? I so miss wine tasting in CA. It's probably the thing I miss most about not living there anymore. 

Psshh I wish we were in CA tasting, I miss it too. We are in Texas hill country now so me and 5 friends convinced to newest pregnant girl in our group to drive us out to Fredericksburg! Yyeeyyaahhh for the built in DD...so fucking glad that's not me anymore!

Gin and tonics 4 lyfe! I think it's the only hard liquor I like. I'll be kicking off the drinking here in approximately 5 hours and counting.

Yusssss. First date with H was in Amsterdam drinking more G&T's than I could count. Good times.

I used to drink more G&Ts than I could count all the time after work at the dive across the street from the restaurant I worked at back in New Orleans. They do go down so smooth. Plus drinks were 2 for 1 at that place, and it was basically our Cheers. Good old days!

Just had a glass of red wine. It's 9 and I'm already in bed. I'm scared of the night ahead of me. Last night was brutal dealing w Ali's 4 month shots and cold. Wish me luck!

+1 im not a gin fan either. Give me all the tequila or whiskey. I'm embarrassed to admit I have no idea what rye is.

[erbear]

I'm not much of a hard liquor fan. My college years were spent with Vlad vodka and then I graduated to a better class of vodka for vodka crans. What's in an amaretto sour? I used to love those when I'd go out and it was $2 well drinks night.

Anyways, point being I don't drink hard liquor much. I did get drunk on whiskey sours for my bachelorette party.

Have you always been in TX? I thought you were in CA, maybe I'm confused in my 3 beers state of mind...

I have been in Texas for 3 years in December but we are from N. CA

[erbear]

I missed the New Orleans talk...h and I have always wanted to go and he just found a conference there this spring. He's applying to it and one in San Antonio (where my sister lives & I've been many times) and even with baby is love to go to NOLA!

rye is whisky (I only found out when I worked at a golf course and someone asked for whiskey and I was like "hmmm don't think we have that" and then he pointed to the bottle of rye lol)

Thanks. Duh, I had no idea. I worked in a restaurant with a bar for 6 years and still didn't know that.

We're going to do part of the bourbon trail this weekend for H's 30th birthday. His friends and I rented a party bus and I'm so excited! Of course T picked last night to start his 4 month regression, so that's precious. H better appreciate that I'm letting him stay in a hotel with his friends Saturday night while I'm going back to my friends mothers place to take care of T.

[holliberry28]

the only hard liquor I like is tequila but never @home. I'm with @jemomma for drinking wine every night. Sometimes one glass, sometimes 2.. The sizes in the glasses may vary depending on the toughness of the day.

[erbear]

I have a super cranky baby and we came home to a parking ticket for not moving my car before we left today on street sweeping day. Mama is having a beer.

Spring is THE BEST time to go! Beautiful weather, trees and flowers blooming, its festival season (pretty much regardless of when you go there will be outdoor events happening), and it really is overall a baby/family friendly place. You can take your drinks to go and walk around the streets with a daquiri in your stroller cup holder and nobody will side-eye you one bit For real lol!

[periwinkledaydreams]

God I effing miss New Orleans after typing that. Get so homesick every time I think/talk/write about it! Need a visit soon!

[erbear]

Ahh, periwinkledaydreams, you used to live there? If I go, you'll need to tell me the best place for a beignet! We have a New Orleans restaurant here we love and we always get beignets. Plus, we love Abita so we'll have to go to the brewery!

[erbear]

Abita strawberry FTW! I love purple haze, too. Has anyone tried their pecan beer that's out now?

The only purple haze I tried was circa 2002 and it wasn't beer! Haha
