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

    Happy Monday Night everyone - I think we are finally out of the rain and storm zone ~~ 3 days in a row of beautiful weather. I know I talk about the weather a lot - but seriously when you live where I do - it's quite interesting!!

    Teardrop - LOL at the the express train ... so now I will TOOT if I am the only one around here!! I am starting my running back up - I got off schedule when we had such a nasty Spring (there I go talking about the weather again!) Tell me about your running .... how long, far or fast do you go? It IS amazing how much the body responds positively when we are good to it!

    MM - You can just stay in the naughty chair if you don't check in more often! :H Seriously ... I can remember what summers where like when the kids were that age. Just CRAZY! So enjoy it. Your DD is quite the little actress! How fun.

    Thankful - I am glad you are busy - but what is the update? What are you so busy doing? Yes I am being nosy!

    Beck - Isn't it amazing when you actually make a decision to be AF? Takes all the thoughts out of "to do or not to do" ... you just DON"T!

    Kaddy - you are in the triple digit days now ... Ya hoooooo! :goodjob:

    Believe - I was so glad to see you here the other day. You've always got my back - thank you!!

    Kate - Whats happening with our jet setting traveling girl?

    Det - Getting ready for the burning man Reno event - actually looks like something I might have done in my drinking life!!!!!:H

    Ok - gotta go read
    Love to all

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

      Good morning, my lovelies!!

      It has been so beautiful here it almost makes me cry. A perfect 78 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

      I cooked out again last night with DD - I'm getting quite fantastic on my new grill. I was talking to a girlfriend last night and saying "I have a gardner, a handyman, I have cute boys to enjoy an occasional dinner with, I go to movies with my daughter, oh, and that that little gift we talk about on Subscribers, WHO NEEDS A MAN!" AAAAAAhahahahahaha!

      No offence Believe!

      Seriously, though. I am finally quite content and really happy in my new place and space. My STBX has finally released his claim on my business, so I don't have to battle him. We have come to a good agreement and are on talking terms. He is even coming to DD's softball games.

      So, all-in-all, life's finally just life... :h

      Det - Burning Man already? Man, it seems like I just saw pics from last time - how time flys!

      Ok, I'm off to go sit back in my naughty chair.. :H

      Have a wonderful day EVERYONE!

      Namaste,

      MM

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

                  Hi everyone,

                  A quick note before I unplug for a few more days...

                  Looks like the universe is taking care of me...was supposed to have two moving trucks in tomorrow (one shipment from US and one from overseas)...now the US shipment won't be in until early next week. My husband planned this breakneck pace and while he is not thrilled - I certainly am. Who do you think actually unpacks all those boxes? SO much easier for me this way.

                  My new house is surrounded by woods. I wake up every day walk out onto my deck and watch the deer and squirrels. So calming. I am actually learning to be STILL for the first time in my life.

                  Went for a run this morning - always hated running in the morning - must have had something to do with the hangovers Love being a non-drinker.

                  Teardrop - 4 miles is great whatever the pace. I did 5K this am and I was slow will get to 5 miles then work on pace...can't wait...

                  MM - you sound so content. Great that STBX dropped claim on your business.

                  Believe - nothing wrong with enjoying the money you are working hard for.

                  Liv - will look for those pics.

                  Kate - Glad you are handling your stress well. I am learning that I can handle the stress of the move this time around. Learning how to have fun even though the work isn't done (used to think I had to wait until the work was done - but then it never was and well you know how I handled that).

                  Kaddy - Good to hear from you.

                  Thankful - pop in occasionally.

                  Have a great day everyone,
                  Beck

                    Hey ya'll ! What a beautiful day! Just wanted to say hi and bump us back up. We have so many ppl on the boards these days we keep slipping to page 2 and forbid .. page 3 !!

                    Sounds like everyone is doing really good. Kaddy I laugh when I read your posts. Short and to the point. I tend to ramble - so I'll be short tonight! Love to all!

                          OMG! I could so use a foot rub right now!! Thanks, Det!

                          Ok, trying to do my part so Mz. Livy doesn't get mad. We were on page 2 again! Gheez!!

                          Everything here is well, not better, but that's were changing my attitude about everything has seemed to be working for me so far. Still really busy, but staying focused on things I really need to change in my life right now. I know you want details, Liv, but I haven't any to share. Wheels are in motion, but nothing accomplished so far. lol. I really feel I will be a brand new person by the end of this year. Or actually not new, just the "old me" that I lost a long time ago. Or the old me but a little new and improved! Yeah, I like the sound of that better.

                          I know I have so much catching up to do. I promise I will get to it!

                          Do we have to send a search party for Wonderworld??????:upset:

                            Thankful ~ good to have you back in the house this evening!! Thanks for bumping us up. My goodness - either the boards are swarming with ppl. to get pushed down everyday - or there are not enough posts on this thread!!!

                            Yes I miss our WW too. :upset::upset:

                            Det - thanks for the foot rub. I REALLY needed that tonight. Hope you travel safely home.

                            Kaddy - you are sailing through your days now.

                            Tear - I will start my running again soon. I'm starting slow this time. My knee has been giving me fits.

                            Beck - Be careful with the move! Just ask MM! She messed up her back when she moved back in Feb. Not a good thing. The house in the woods sounds like mine! I am surrounded by trees, trails, deer, turkeys etc. It's just awesome. Then my back deck looks out over the whole river valley. Quite a site if I might say so myself!! And I am enjoying it much more these days!!

                            Kate - You sound to busy with work. You must slow down and enjoy the summer! Also - I read your thread about all the choppers over Denver. WEIRD. I have felt for sometime now that there is something big that we aren't being told.... Time will tell. Stay safe. Colorado is the big command center.

                            MM - Hi darlin. How is the DD doing in her play? Are you still chasing her all over?! I think it sounds heavenly!

                            Belive - Hi Bro. Still working like a crazy fool? You and Kate --- it must be the mountain air.

                            Me - gotta go. Big plans for the weekend.... REST!!

                            Love to all
