30 days???

Hi all
Just checking in. Things are going good here. I had to work this week after 6 weeks layed off. Was pretty slow. Am off next week. Sure has been cold here the past couple days. I am sure having fun being sober and think I'm over the worst of it since some days I dont think about it anymore. Still on antabuse twice a week just to make sure though. MA sorry to hear you are going through a rough spot. Things always get better. I always think well I wouldnt know how good the good stuff is if it werent for the bad. If you can make any sense out of that..hahaha....love bird

Well hello Bird !!!! I'm soooo proud of your accomplishments xxx Maybe we sent all the cold weather your way because this morning it isn't nearly as cold. Isn't it nice to see the days getting longer?

MA, thanks for stopping by because you are always on our minds... take good care of "You"

Yep, actually I had a couple more nudges with Marilyn and I didn't budge. She is even starting to treat me a bit more like a fellow worker.... hmm, I think I'm onto something here.
So, tonight we are going out for supper and then onto see "Doc Walker" !!! I'm Jacked !
Take Good care everybody, Hugs, xxx

Good to see you Bird! You sound so good!!!!!!!!

MA, so nice talking to you today. LOVE ya girl....call me any time ok.

Well guys...today would have been mine and Billy's anniversary. I didnt drink one damn thing!!!! Never even had the urge. I am pretty darn proud of myself. Not long ago I would have spent the entire weekend in a bottle. Instead I cook goodies all day and took them over to my bestfriends house for her daughters surprise 18th bday. I needed to stay busy and I love doing things like that. It turned out really nice. 3 different fellas were wondering if I was willing to get married...HA HA HA..(of course one was already married and one was 68...but hey!) HA HA HA The kids had a blast too. I am beat tonight and I am sure to sleep like a baby.

Just wanted to let you know concerning Papa Bear’s hit and run death. The 22-year-old woman plea bargained for three 15 year sentences to be served concurrently, all at the same time.
Before anyone judges this as too short for intoxicated manslaughter, put yourself, your daughter, mother, wife in her place. Now what would you want to happen?
I’m not a saint and am still dealing with feelings that swing quickly from pain to sadness to anger to prayer. I truly believe God is in control so I pray to graciously accept His plan.
This young lady’s photo on the news looked so cold, hard and lost at such a young age. I prayed this tragedy would help open her heart. My hope is she will realize she has more positive choices to make in the future and her life can be better from this, not ruined by it. There was a comment posted to the newspaper article concerning this story which gives me hope my prayers are answered positively.
Thank you for your help, love and support for all our family. I have read the posts for Baby Bear. Often it takes people dealing with similar problems to help in the best ways. Thank you again.
Sharing God’s love,
Bear’s Lady

yeah

Thanks Bearlady, man, don't know how youstay so strong, we love to see you here, Bear was so special and loved here.:h

Bird, great to see you doing so well, I was at the place of not even thinking about a drink, those days will soon be back, right now I am on a high of not drinking, so I hope I stay there, feeling strong.

LUV, glad you made it through the day, didn't know it was going to be a potentially tough one when we talked, glad you got hit on by some fellas, haha, they are usually the ones joking w/ me, either married or older than dirt!! :H

Greeneyes, glad to see you here too, and NIBS!! I love that work is (hopefully) getting a bit better for ya, work for me is rough, being the older one there and the greenest one there is really tough, I mean I am working w/ 22 year olds going to school to be doctors and THEY are "training" me.......................GULP, big swallow of the pride there! Well, not going to drink over that, NOR the fact that Mike is still a drunken perv................got an Iphone now so he can surf the porn sites in private, just busted him, that is disgusting!! Well, guess he's got to do what he's got to do...................I am disgusted by him in soooooo many ways....................:upset:


Off to the gym, then to the rodeo!! YEEHAA!!:H

love you guys,:l

its good to be back!!

Have fun at the rodeo.....wish I could go. Woke- at 4 AM with a stomach bug. YUK, feeling better this afternoon though. Dont miss hugging the toilet. AT ALL!

BearLady.....I think it would be what Bear would want...to give the girl a second chance. She deserves punsihment. 15 years is a good long time to think about what she did wrong. I pray this will change her life in the right direction. She has a second chance...not everyone gets that.

MA, hope that the rodeo was alot of fun... wish I could come along with ya.... Gosh there should be an island for people like Mike... a very "special" island with no tv, computers or even toilet paper ! Haa !! Haaa!

I really like it when you join us Greeneyes... come here more often.

Well, the concert was really amazing ! They even shot video of the audience for his newest music video... Yahooooooo ! The song Rocket Girl sounds so awesome live.
I thought I'd stop by for a quick visit with ya'll... Hugs, xxx

Hi all! One of those things I ignored while drinking was my refrigerator. Ewwwww! What a chore that was today. Now every time I walk by I look in it just to admire, LOL - doesn't take much, does it? Gotta do the freezer next, but I have to fix the seal first. What the hell distorts them?

Glad you're done barfing, Luvie. I felt a little ick today but it was self induced. I made oatmeal cookies - I never bake - I think I just wanted sugar. I ate a bunch of the dough and then started in on the cookies. That and chips are all I ate today. Bad greenie! Cooking quinoa now though.

MA, I really hope you get out of your situation. It's really tough when you have lost respect for your mate. How was the rodeo?

Nibs, think you'll be in the video? Glad you enjoyed the show. I'm going to see Bonnie Rait in March.

Hey bird, how's the singing going?

OMG Greenie, I have cleaned this house top to bottom. I mean every inch is spotless. New paint and all. I had so neglected it while drinking and even whern I had the good sober time when Mama was sick I was to busy caring for her. I feel much better tonight. I swear I was thinking earlier HOW DID I EVER DO THIS ? I mean drink so much I was ill.....YUKE! I sure don't miss it. Not at all.
Bird...how is the singing????

30 days???

tired but up

The rodeo turned out to be ALOT harder than any event I have worked so far (thank GOD it is the last we have to do~) We served SOOOO Much beer, chips, sodas, I was a sticky mess, didn't get to watch one second of the show, usually they let us go at intermission, but we were the VERY last people out of there yesterday,:upset: didn't get to ride no doubt as it was dark by the time I got home, :upset:showered, ate and poured myself into bed......................up early though to get ready for the job that is giving me an ulcer......................definitely checking into RN program, there is a distance learning seminar in March I reserved a spot for and the cost is not an issue, HELL,Mike spent a few $1,000.00 to take his General Contractors test, still not licensed due to insurance (he just doesn't want to deal w/ being legal I think!) so I am going for it if it sounds feasible..................
Glad you had fun at the concert Nibs, hope you feel better LUV, Greenie, glad to see you doing well, yep, the situation WILL change, I just need to get my "GAME PLAN" up and running, and getting my RN is a big start, I will make SOOOOOOO much more $$ with it.

love you guys, gotta go to the rat race job, mostly the stress of being so old, feeling like I should be on top of the game, by now, I mean it will be 3 months I have been there on the 12th.............that is like, 3 days from now.............I am NOOO Way there yet!!!

XOXO :l:h

ROFL!!!!! Luvie I thought of you when I was in the middle of it -thought "Shit, Lisa probably did this at 6AM the third day before she mowed the back 40."

MA, is that 3 month thing a self-imposed deal or had they set some kind of marker for you? If it's self-imposed, lighten up a bit. I'm sure you're a great employee and you are undoubtedly doing very well.

[cowgal]

30 days???

no

I am the only one keeping track, I really have to be there for 6 months or I lose my sign-on bonus.......................love ya!!!:l:l

Good Morning
Today is a snow day !!!! Well, actually we had alot of freezing rain...
Luv, I forgot to wish you a "get well"... Hope that you are feeling 100% today sweetie.
Greenie, I remember when the seall went on our deep freezer... What happened with ours was it was kept on our back deck area padlocked... We had a neighbour mind our horses for the weekend and offered them the use of our pool...I guess the parents left their teenage daughter along with her friend unattended and they used a darn crowbar or something to bend the door open enough to take out ice-cream !!! We couldn't believe our eyes when we got home.. and the frost build up ! Now the freezer is out in hubbys garage. Also Greenie, how do you cook your quinoa? I have some in my fridge that I've rinsed and boiled in a chicken soup base... I really like that it is so healthy with a complete protein in it.

Cowgal that sucks that you didn't get to enjoy the rodeo... I'm so proud that you are thinking of a brighter future and will go for being an RN... That's really awesome xxx Sounds like you are making "you" time and that's great to hear.

Well, today I'm making pizza and doing a workout... It is supposed to warm up this afternoon.
Hope that everybody is having a great Tuesday so far
Hugs, xxx
