Good evening everyone
Love all the pics... the barn, the horses, the houses and yards.... and the dog!!!! Sounds like everyone is doing well except for SS and RC with colds!! Hope you feel better soon.
Hmmmm....donuts sound good.... I am tired of pigging out on Toffifee. Any leftover turkey soup SS??
Update.... I sure am loving being AF....I do think about it and I get thoughts about maybe having a glass of wine way in the future, and wishing I could be a normal drinker.... but as luck will have it, I started reading Jason Vale's book.... and you know what he says.... there is nothing normal about drinking .... it is just a poison that society has deemed socially acceptable etc, etc.... it's a good read so far....and offers a different perspective
Anyhow.... goodnight to all and wishing you a great Canadian day tomorrow!

I don't know how to chat, still exploring MWO but thanks for the reminder GG; lots of functions on here I need to try out when needed, especially in emergencies. I also need to go back and rummage in the Toolbox; get my plan firm for the weekend. And on and on

Betterlife; now you'll start a Toffifee craze! I forgot about those yummy little guys after Xmas... mmmm. These food cravings are driving me bonkers! Just cut open a mini watermelon for dessert and its one of those flavourless guys... where the heck was this grown? Oh well, summer coming up and then I'll have all the local berries and fruit I want. Can't wait!

Cedar, hope you feel better soon..

Good night from the West Coast, Canuckers!

Hello darlings. Haha guess what I had tonight?? A Magnum. Yummo! I've heard them talked about on the Army but didn't know what they were. Guaranteed to be your next addiction.:H

I should have had watermelon like you Today. Crap that it was flavourless though.

Still not 100% but better. Bet that Magnum will help.:H

So ya hafta Peanut proof the house GG? What does that entail?? Hiding adult toys? My bad. Any turkey soup left?

Wally, Wally, what kind of seeds? Are they organic or heritage?

Betterlife--I think I saw you've put 2 weeks in now. Bet that feels great. Keep'er goin'!

Just gone midnight and I'm a pumpkin--getting to be a fat one too!
Nighters Canuckers......

Rise and shine fellow Canuckers!!
Beautiful sunny day here but oh so cold!! It's -30!! Our prairie winter has been so mild and warm it's been scary but very enjoyable

RC - pleased to hear you are starting to feel better....I am curious... what's a Magnum???? And yes.... yesterday was day 14 for me and it does feel great... nothing like success to keep one motivated. Went out for supper and a play last night with a family member... we were celebrating my birthday which is today (yikes!!) but I was also secretly celebrating my 2 weeks AF. I have no idea if my family knows how much I was drinking ...I am sure they do but I probably will never out and out tell them ... I do know I have some fences to mend and am looking forward to it AF. For many years, I have worked hard at being absent from family life.... thought I had good reason but now I think my reasoning was pretty faulty....the AF world sure looks different. Man oh man ...I was always so angry at everyone and everything!!

WallyWally -looking forward to hearing what kind of seeds you bought

GG...ready for the peanuts!!! Don't have any of my own but have had nieces and nephews come to visit when they were little and it was always great fun!!

I am going out to a Valentine's movie night at a church tonight....and I admit I have not gone to a church event in over 40 years other than weddings and funerals.... pretty sure I won't have to worry about being tempted tonight!! The invitation was extended to my sweetie and I but my "sweetie" who was not always so sweet left the picture a few weeks before Xmas....hmmmm....is that why I feel so good??!!

Anyhow.... time to get on with my day... am on vacation today and all of next week...plan to keep real busy getting caught up around the house, spending lots of time with my mom and staying AF!!

Have a great day everyone.... I could not do this with MWO and knowing I am not alone in this journey.

Hiya Canucks. Was going to post relapse, that is all, but then realized yaw'll might take that the wrong way. Must have been the Magnum.

Better, here's a Magnum. Expensive beggers but soooo good.
Magnum Ice Cream Canada
Sounds like you're really getting honest with yourself Betterlife. That can only lead to a better life. Enjoy your night out and good on you for going solo.

[sunshine_gg]

The Canucks Co

Happy Birthday, BetterLife!! AND Happy 14 day mark, too! Whooohooo!

I dunno what a Magnum is, either... and considering the rump on me, I better not find out! :H Glad you're feeling better RC... adult toys? Moi? I'm as pure as the driven snow, luv No, peanut proofing is vacuuming, getting his high chair, gate, etc, from the basement, doing up his crib/play pen.. that sorta thing

Ok.. no time to dilly dally today... gotta luv yas and leave yas! Happy Friday!

[RingingCedars]

The Canucks Co

OH man! How brain dead of me. A very Happy Birthday to you Betterlife. Stay warm! xo

GG, pure as the driven snow?? Bwahahahahah Thanks for comic relief! Enjoy the Peanut, I know you will.:h

Oh hey, GG got someone local who's going to try to teach me how to use my site. Thanks for all you've done girlfriend!

Happy birthday betterlife!

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your AF days as well. I appreciate you opening up about being somewhat newly solo... I admire you for being brave and working on mending fences, trying new things.

I have been in a relationship for about 2 months that I'm just not sure about. Have gotten some good advice here in the past about how we should be crazy about each other at this stage and instead things are kind of blah. I have attributed this to different things, mainly blaming myself; drinking in mid Jan and messing things up, the whole dating while sober thing being different (all my past relationships involved drinking, it just made every date or event seem like a party!), now its all quiet dinners and movies and walks... which is what I would want. Maybe just not with this guy. There I said it. I'm just not sure though, I'm a bit down so am I bringing the relationship down? (those are my doubts).

Anyway, today's been tough so far, am tempted to drink and go back to bed quite a lot! Just getting that out gives me strength to not do so, it won't make anything easier/better/more tolerable or soothe my anxiety. Getting through today will make me 25 days AF! Thats what I want!

How's my fellow Canuckers doing? So glad we're working on this together... such a fricking long process though! (arg) okay, pity party done.

Look GG, I didn't mention food once! (until now) Have fun peanut proofing!

Hellloooo Canuckeroodles!

Just put the peanut away for the night and am just about ready to crash myself :H That little guy had like a 30 minute nap this morning before I got him and nothing since... he was one pooped little fella. We had a little visit with my son/girlfriend and were going to stop by at my other grand son's house... except his mum showed up there with him just as we were leaving. Gonna have him over later this week... it sounded like his mom really needs a chat... apparently, her and her husband separated and are both planning on moving away. So, there will be significant changes with the #2 peanut.

For you, that don't know the story... My son and his lovely girlfriend had a baby boy last September but gave him up in an open adoption (sorta.. actually, more like a guardianship). We all are part of his life and until now, he and his adoptive parents lived close by. Apparently, this is going to change now. I'm sure I'll find out more when Heidi and I get together during the week.

Anywhoo... that's it from my neck of the woods... with the wind chill it was -28Celsius today! Brrrrrrrrr.

Have a stupendous Saturday night, yaw'll!

Holy smokes GG--that's a bit of a bomb on Peanut #2. Have you heard anymore today? Sounds like some tough decisions to be made all over again?? Has Peanut #1 vacated the premises??

Nothing new in my boring life. Wrapped in a comforter staying warm. I thought Spring was here?? That little pig in Wiarton better have'is facts right.....

Where's all our Canuckers?? Hope you're all kickin al's ass anyways.

Happy Sunday, Canucklings!

Blowing like friggin Jack the Bear here. Holy!

Ok, no update on #2 peanut.... don't really expect one until I sit down for a coffee with his mum. Real bummer, though.

However, my daughter has a new b/f (now, there's a surprise)... met him yesterday and again today. He's HUMAN! I mean... he TALKS 'n everything. Why is that so exciting? Because her last 2 male companions (meaning the last 4 years) were both socially retarded. So, THIS one is a bit older (32), steady well-paying job, nice truck, a house on 8 acres, 2 dogs and is rather good looking, to boot! Oh...oh.. AND he's doing really well with peanut, too. I'm thrilled to bits! He seems really nice, nice manners, eye contact, hand shake... I really haven't got a thing to bitch about. How about that!? :H

Yes, RC... my house is peanut free, however it'll take a bit to hide all evidence. Stay in your blankie... it's just howling miserably out there. I'm gonna make some dinner, and snuggle into bed early... I'm thinking a pot of tea might do nicely for company. There should be a new Heartland on tonight and I guess, in light of Whitney Houston's death, I may watch a bit of the Grammys as well. Damn shame... such a talented and beautiful woman

Anywho.. that's it from me tonight... stay warm peeps!

[RingingCedars]

Does the HUMAN boyfriend have a single older brother?? Eh, Eh??:H

Off to watch some Heartland online. Have not watched it since before Christmas. There goes my night!!!

Night night!
