Squeee! This is dorky but it’s my go to good luck thing: “Crossing fingers, knees, noses and toeses!” No it doesn’t make sense, but it means I’m wishing you all the best luck in the world!

Wooohoooo! Rock star!

I drastically cut my wine intake from a glass every night to once maybe every other month. I started off by drinking water infused with fruits throughout the week and waiting until Sat/Sun night to drink. Now, I’ll drink maybe socially or if I just feel like but I don’t have cravings like I used to.

To be fair I was joining another yarn and I probably counted the stitches wrong,so that’s on me. But I was working on a cable stitch blanket going off some patterns I’d already done, and it’s going to turn out something like this:

Switching from something like wine to soda water with bitters or a splash of Campari can still tickles those pleasure centers, but your overall alcohol intake can be much lower.

A trick I use when trying to pace myself would maybe work bc you usually have a finite time in the evening before bed:

Sorry is huge! One of my babies is super introspective and into posing.

I cut back a lot in recent years because I’m trying to get pregnant. I’m down to 1-2 bottles of wine per month. I buy more expensive wine (my favorite is $27 before tax) to keep from getting it every week. This obviously may not be possible if your job has you working “normal” hours, but I try to avoid grocery…

Good on you for trying to cut back! Maybe try alternating the wine with glasses of water? Even if you just fill the wine glass with water, you’ll at least be hydrated. And I like your username. As if!

Ginger ale is a good idea. I also like club soda or lemon lime soda in red wine.

I’m flying from NYC to Seattle at about the right time. Hoping to catch it in the air, but I’m not sure what, if anything, we will actually see.

I never found him attractive, even in his younger days. And the stories of his asshole behavior is the stuff of legend.

No advice - just wanted to say, “atta girl!” Someone close to me is a heavy drinker, and I think she is thinking of cutting down. I really hope so because it can be problematic. So, good on you for doing so!

We found the Halloween costume for my dog to wear this year. She’s gonna be sushi!

Cut your wine with ginger ale.

Post your adorable pets being adorable.

I was busy hoping someone had finally invented a boozy cigarette

I found our cat in a parking lot as a kitten. She weighed less than a pound! She is three now. She has never scratched me and she only gives me sweet little love bites. I’m not a “cat person” either, but I absolutely adore this cat.

If parents aren’t total jerks, they can adjust the scheduling based on events and be flexible with each other. Some parents like to use children as weapons and be difficult though :/
