30 days???

Ah, Boots, that's why I love you. You're a goof.
No, you're not going to clear away the garden, you're going to rest.

Our growing season is very short but yes I do grow flowers. Temps go down to -30 C sometimes -40 C with the windchill in winter so no winter gardens here, just ice and snow.
And darkness. I am green with envy of all the beautiful garden pics posted.

Bob and Sable do grow glorious winter coats for those times when I kick them out from under the duvet to go out and pee. The cats (indoor creatures) grow winter coats as well but much slower, usually just in time for spring!

Hi all,
Thanks for all the offers of washing machines but I don't have room for one unless it is about 2 feet square. Every inch of my place is full. We just live in a little trailer. I can get the rent out of one paycheck and have a bit left over so we just stay here,5 years nows. The yard is giant and the landlord mows it and hes nice. Anyway, the kids had their fall festival at school this eve and we just got back. It was really nice and the moon is full and its not hot..Bear, really liked that poem and magic I like that one too even if it is AA. Cindi' sorry your daughter isnt doing well. Dave' looks like we are all a bunch of campers here or at least us and Nibs. Nibs, the lady never came and picked up the roosters. I have them in a coop alone. They crow alot. 4 roosters crowing.geez..Bootsie cant wait to get that kudzu. Hi Luv and more2..and yeah, I miss Morrison too. I'm off to bed. gnight all bird

30 days???

Hey guys! I'm back....took an extra day to get back. As you all know, the most important thing I was concerned about, was staying sober, and getting a good report...I've been feeling really really well, working-out, getting ready for a show for our new champion filly, only challenge has been the AF'ing...Got to Baltimore on Sat. evening, and there was a huge problem at the airport, it looked like a Die Hard movie....fire trucks, ambulances, state troopers, dogs, you name it....we arrived at 7pm, and they would not unload any bags, off any planes at BWI...and its a huge airport...finally at 9:30pm, starving, we got our bags and got to the hotel, and went to dinner....all was well...met our friends that have our stallion staning out there, on Sunday for brunch, went to their farm, I kissed my STUD right on the big 'ol mug...(the 4 legged stud, not hubby...lol...)....then we all shopped and piddled around the bay til late afternoon, then watched the Cowboys win again at the ESPN Zone, and had a nice dinner...all is well so far...I'm so happy and upbeat I just hip hop into Hopkins Monday morning....Dr. is doing visual exam and biopsy, and unlike last time, says all looks great...then the physical exam...we are talking about the restaurant he had sent us too, and he's digging to China inside...(sorry guys)...thought he was going to palpate my dang tonsils, so I'm like..."Rob, what the heck, I can open up and say ahhhh on this end too if you need to check my throat"! The look on his face said it all, I instantly knew he wasn't liking something...he says, you have to go down the the CAT scan lab, I feel something that shouldn't be here, wasn't here before, I don't know what it is, and we can't let it go...you can't go til we know...don't panic....(YEAH RIGHT!)....well, I'd already eaten, so couldn't go have it done til the next morning,....I've never been so sat back on my ass surprised, since they said cancer 3.5 yrs ago, I was just shocked....could've knocked me over with a feather....anyway, we left the hospital, and just started walking, not talking, just walking and walking...down the water, I swear like I don't know how many miles later, hubby goes ok, gotta sit...Ok, I sit down from rapid pacing the waterfront, and just start having a anxiety attack...duh...anyway, even being a pharmacy owner, we just don't take anything much in the way of Rx, so I didn't have any of the meds you could have in your possession to chill you out, and in my panic, didn't think of getting any from my Dr., and now its night....so what does an idiot alcohol abuser do...start ordering wine...yep, absolutely was just too much...I was handling a normal uneventful check-up great, it goes to hell in a handbasket, and so did AF'ing....really smart, but I'm just not far enough down the road I guess to handle a biggie without any crutches, and I can't take any kind of supps for the biopsy/bloodwork, etc., so I was basically naked in the firing range! Get thru the testing the next day, have to wait out the results, which are on asap status so I can get a flight back....Its NOT cancer, but its something that will have to be repaired by surgery, later on....I'll spare you the details, but suffice to say, said nerves were shot, AF was shot, and I was relieved by no magligancy, kinda dreading future more surgery, but really disappointed I failed myself...I got back on track today, and back to the gym, and I know I have to brush off, and start over...its just that I feel so awful about knowing what I shouldn't have done, and did it anyway over the stress....I'll just have to begin again....anyway, I missed all of you alot! I've prayed for all of us....I haven't caught up with all the posts...but Boots, glad you are on the mend hopefully, and that your house is safe from the fire...Nibs, sounds like you've been having fun, glad you Dad is better, Cindi, hope your daughter is better soon...Bear, LOVED the Poem, really, really needed that today! Bird sounds like your party was wonderful, your place sounds perfect for you too! Luv bug, I know this is the hardest time, and I know you are bone tired pooped out...who wouldn't be! You take care of you ok, that's an order! More2, I can see your men scaring the hairy legged trick or treating dudes...lol...Magic you are so inspiring, thanks for all your posts....Morrison, where the hell are you...come out come out wherever/however you are.... Ok guys, I'm really ashamed of myself for not making my goal, and I wish I'd have listened to my own advice, but opps....Love you all, will check in and try to catch up tomorrow!

Tex, stop it.

Ashamed of yourself? Please don't be.

I am three years sober. If I were put in your position......I would have done the same thing.

Welcome home!!!!!

Magic, I would hope you wouldn't! I'd just soooo much like to be you, 3 yrs. sober, that's just so awesome.....I'm trying to get over this "failure", there's really no excuse, it was a reason, but its not worth it...I just paniced, and medicated...I'll remember from now on, to take an anti-anxiety med, to the check-up, so I can pop one of those instead of popping a cork....I know better than to hang on to the disappointment of this tho, so I'm going to put it behind me. Thanks for the support Magic! Love all you guys tons!

Glad you are back tex. And with pretty good news too. You have the right attitude, just never give up, it will work out eventurally. Boots, I bet there are a lot of tomato inspectors out there in Calif., maybe that was what happened. Hope you got some rest luv. You too boots. Bird, I lived cramped up like that for years. I was never so glad toget a bigger place, or was it that the kids grew up? either way, it is nicer now. Nibs that is really good news. I am glad for you. Magic listen to barbi, she is a gardener and knows about miracle grow. he he. Cindi, I am praying for you and yours and hope for good news soon.

I know I left some out, and for that I say, I love you all,
:huggy
God Bless

TIT...I LOVE YA GIRL!!! I just got tears reading your post...not cause you didn't make the Af thingy, but because I can so understand how scared you must have been and I am SO SO HAPPY you are OK! Surgery stinks, but at least it isn't major and you are OK! So, you feel off the wagon...you have the right attitude. You know what ya gotta do and why you did what you did. AND you didn't go on a major binge....you ARE stronger!!! You know, I would have done the same thing. Important thing is you are going to be fine and that you got right back on the next day. I wish I could give you a big hug.
Bird, I hope we meet some day ...you know you aren't to far from me. If we could arrange it, I would love to meet you. How old are your kids???
Bootsie, I am glad you are doing better...did you make an appointment for the colonoscopy? PLEASE do it even though you feel better. PLEASE! Just make sure all is well on the inside...Ok?
Cindi, I am praying for you and your daughter. HUGS to you!!!
Nibs, your baby is 18. Can you just remember when he was that little bundle. I was holding Zak this morning and he is such a big boy. He said "Mama, you are the best Mama in the world, I just love you so much". Isn't that the sweetest thing a kids could say? I teared up!
Kids are out of school today. I have a stomach bug or something. Not feeling to good today. Brit spent the night at a friends house. My fella took Mama to her appointment today. He is so sweet! I can't believe we haven't run him off with all our issues...ha ha
