And to answer the kitty question - yes, I still have Cheddar.

We have - Freddie (grandma kitty), Peach (old, grouchy male), Shadow (another male but not so grouchy) and Cheddar (female and sneaky :H ).

We did have quite a bit of rain last night & today and we needed it BAD!!!

Bastet - I didn't realize that you were in the Bay area. That is where my husband has been for the past 3 months. I love that area.

Ok - back to bed for me. I woke up & realized that I hadn't started the March thread so I couldn't sleep. :H Now we are official.

Nora...you are way too committed to us!!:h
Bastet - I know you are considering moderating and I am not one who forces you to chose a side...As Kradle said, this is your journey. It sounds like wine is a big part of your social life with hubs, and I totally get that. I have date night with hubs on Saturday night and allow myself some wine. I do not drink during the week. I do not sneak drinks anymore. I do not drink and drive...remember I got a DUI.
I do not have horrible cravings anymore. I get them, but not like I used to. I know I may well be considered a heretic, and if that makes people happy or feel better about themselves, then go for it.
And the key for me...I no longer run to the bottle for comfort. I have shitty, stressful days and I deal with it. SO do what is best for you and know that we are here to taslk about it.
What does your hubs think??
Lucky and Axl are having a stare down......Lucky isn't real sure about this new little brother. Axl is manic....running and jumping and leaping all over the place. It's adorable
Good for you on the run Fenny. My hips ache when I wake up. WTH??
Coffee and kitties for me
Love you Nora....wherr did Sunnibutt disapper to?
Kradle...I will read your thread at some point today. Did you go on a motorcycle ride?
Stay warm Dots...

Bastet I think of moderating too. I'm not ready yet, but hope someday I will be able to. I'm probably not being realistic, but I am hopeful. I still having cravings and know once I start I won't be able to stop. Mama you give me hope. I would love to just have one glass of wine with dinner and leave it there.
Looking forward to a quiet weekend. Off to my sisters house to plan the bridal shower with the bridesmaids. More snow in the near future so I'll have to go food shopping too. So glad it's march and spring is right around the corner, can't take this weather anymore
Happy weekend all. Gotta get on that dreadmill and run. I do about an hour and 15 mins. I work up to 6.1 miles per hour and cool down to 4.0. I need to find something good on tv to watch.

Thanks for the March kickoff Nora,aah moderation,i actually did do a pretty good job for awhile i'd open a beer,take a few sips and not even want the rest,sometimes i feel like abstaining makes me want it more,but im okay where im at right now,ive made tons of progress so im happy,it's your journey Bastet and your life,ugh i dont want to go to work bleh! serious case of the f-its this morning,plus i think i drank too mucho coffee,hate that,i need to learn to space it out instead of chugging it down to wake up then feel all jittery,hope everybody has a good saturday

Nora, I LOVE that image...thank you so much for posting it, and hosting this thread. :h

Mama, thanks for your kind words...I know you guys will all be here for me.

Dottie...6 months is awesome!!! :happy:

Kradle...I hope your internet gets fixed quickly...the whole posting by phone thing gets old really fast. :h

Nora, J's bro and SIL had two cats- one was named "Peach", the other "Fuzz", LOL! They passed away from old age, but those names were cute.

Mrs. Fen was up hacking and snerting all night, due to what turned out to be an "actual" cold. She always thinks she's getting sick and never does...so, I was pretty surprised! Soon, she will begin her throat clearing thing that makes her sound like Arnold Ziffel, LOL!

Pauly, I hear you about too much coffee...I usually drink dark roasts, which have less caffeine than lighter roasts. Sometimes, I get some lighter than darker stuff and when I drink my usual amount, I feel like I'm on amphetamines! Tingling in my face and fingers, heart racing...yucky stuff.
