Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

WW be careful with the cough. I had a coughing spell so bad the other day I cracked ribs. I have had 2 csections and I swear this is the worst pain I've ever been in!!

Welcome back MM. I totally understand about parents being draining at times!

Hi all,
I opened up the ties in my quilt before sewing them on the backing which formed the quilt top. That's why they are so big. Most were worn by my husband in the past. Most of the stitching was by hand.

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Good morning!!

Well, I'm feeling a bit more chipper today.. Man, those "obligatory" vacations take their toll on me.. No matter, I'm back and snug as a bug in my new house - WHICH I STILL LOVE!

I see we have some new faces in here, I haven't had a chance to totally catch up, so I will just say HELLO and glad you are in the 30+ thread.

I hope everyone is doing well.. I will read up more tonight.

Well, I am starting this day, today with a bright shiny face. One still filled with hope, one still happy to be sober and feeling very fortunate to come back here to my friends.

OH, but the bad news is.. I GAINED 4 pounds on vacation! AARGH! I tried to be so good, but it was either eat or drink, and if I drank everytime I felt anxious I would have started at 7am! Maybe as time goes on my mom won't be such a trigger, but that will have to my changing outlook as she pretty set in her ways. I still find this part to be very difficult, but I thinkit will get easier, but just to be sure I think I will give it another 90 days before I go back..

Oh, and I hired a personal trianer for the month of April, 3X a week for an hour.. that will help me get rid of those last stubborn pounds... Summer body here I come!

Hope all is well, and I look forward to catching up with everyone..

Enjoy your day.

MM

Morning All,

WW-I appreciate all you have done for my B-Day! The sunglasses are perfect....yes, you know me.....looking at life through "Rose Colored Glasses"!! LOL.....But seriously, you must take care of yourself! No more shopping until you are well. So today......wear comfy clothes and make a pot of delicious tea and curl up with a good book.........

MM- So happy to have you back from your "non-vacation". Boy sounds like it was anything but a good time. Sorry your daughter was so ill, I hope she is finally better. Sounds like your "parental units" are a challenge. Being back home must feel so good!

Believe-As I drive around the metro area seeing clients, I take in the sunshine and the Rocky's and think of you! Although today looks pretty dreary.....

Liv-Hope you are enjoying your vacation.......the beach is so reviving!

Juliana-You quilt is beautiful........I am sure it is even more so when one can see the texture and all of the fine stitching! Such an accomplishment.....you should feel proud!

Thankful-You are in my thoughts!

As for me, another busy day with corp. job. I sent out our proposal yesterday, for designing the 1.9 million dollar house! I feel good about our proposal and know that we will do a great job! But the best thing about this is that it will put our little company on the map! We have always spent the last few weeks working on our brochure, they have been printed and should arrive by monday! My goal is to be able to do only our business within the next two years!

So, everyone, have a good day, WW, be well, sweetheart!

Love,
Kate XXXXXXX

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Happy Friday my friends!

Miss being here with you all, but have definately proven to myself that I need to really watch how much time I spend here. I got so much work done this week! And of course every time I turn around I am inspired in some way or another to get another project started. I have physically and mentally felt better this week than I can ever remember feeling. I had my "feel great" days here and there when I first became sober, but expericing this for an entire week...wow! Hoping I can keep this up! Not sure of the magic formula yet. lol

MM ~ so sorry to hear that your vacation was not all that we had hoped for you. Just when I thought you'd finally get some much need R&R. Hope your little one is feeling better as well. Missed you!

WW ~ please get yourself well soon. Don't push yourself once start to you feel better. Give yourself some serious rest! MM is back now, so the punishments will resume if need be! ESC, love!

Kate ~ Happy belated birthday! Sorry I missed the party. That cake looked good! Hope your deal goes through for you. It sounds so exciting. Keeping my :fingers: for you!

Believe ~ come play when you can, ok?

Liv ~ are you a golden tan Goddess yet? Hope you are having fun in the sun!

Sun ~ nice quilt! How long did that take you? I've never made one but I'm thinking of making a small throw for my niece to take to school next fall. Shh...it's a secret. It will be her first time away from home. :upset:

Hope you all have a great weekend. Love you all!

Love, Me

Thankful - Nothing could make me feel better than hearing you so healthy and happy and energetic !!! Yay!!! And yes - I'm taking VERY good care of myself. And started zithromax about an hour ago just to be sure. I was feeling the way you do and then BAM!!! - not so fast girlie. I'll be just fine in a couple days for sure! And mentally, I'm pretty darn fine.

More later and Love to all!
