One Step at a time - July 2015

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Gym later then nothing on the agenda for tonight. Holiday weekends are very hard. The fellows I have been seeing all have kids and are spending time with them. Oh well back to normal next week. Or whatever normal is and that is something I create as I go.
Lunch tomorrow with a fellow I saw a while back. Guess I will go to church on Sunday.

Check in folks it will be a hard weekend for some of us..We need to be here to support each other!!

[Rusty]

A quick check-in for me. Busy day but at least I am home. Now, if the weather would just cooperate, it would be a perfect day!

ABC-wow, how did you know that Fennel was lurking? I truly miss her, and Fen, if you are reading this, I hope you are well. Every time I drive through Antioch, IL, I think of you. Big Hugs, friend. I wish you were here with us.

Big hellos to everyone else.

Good morning Dottie! So far it just looks like like the two of us here. Got up early and took a long walk. It's beautiful here this morning. Miss my doggie terribly. Are there fireworks you could attend or a parade? I would honestly be ok going to fireworks alone. I love the 4th of July!
Mama, saw your post on fb. Oh boy, I was hoping it wasn't going to be root canal! Feel better honey. I have found the painkillers aren't as effective as Motrin, maybe it's just me. Then curl back up in your bed. You've earned it.
Rusty, have fun with you weekend activities. I think of you when I look at my nails. They are so pretty! Thanks for you sweet post on the other thread. You guys are so good to me.
Pauly, what are you up to this weekend? Not that your asking, but I think your doing great! You are doing this quit! You go girl.
Anyway, I'm going to go get ready. We are being picked up at 2. Just need to finish up some stuff around the house. Bon voyage my loves. I will miss you. Would appreciate some prayer and positive thoughts to do this way I should!

[Rusty]

Lizz-I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way for a safe and hap, hap, happy vacation with your family! xoxoxo Rusty

Hey Pauly-you have Louie today...you are the best grandma...always finding fun things to do.

Well, I slept in two hours past my usual so now I am way behind schedule. Zoom, zoom.

[Dottie Belle]

Pauly it was hubbs sister and niece and family and I told them I just wasnt up for a visit. I sort of felt guilty but they made little to no effort to visit us the last 20 years so why should I stress myself out now. for what??? So I just said NO.
have fun with Louie.
Yes how did u know fen was lurking??? Inquiring minds want to know...

[mama bear]

I miss fen too....and K9 and Sunshine Daisies
Yep a root canal whenever I can squeeze it in next week...I am taking Motrin Dots...I am scared of the hydrocodone prescription he gave me
I have been a bum most of the day and am thoroughly enjoying it.
Tomorrow we all have to get up a 6am and drive 2 hours north to Sea Island and help my parents with their annual 4th of July party. I think this is the 12th year now.....I joke and say we doing indentured servitude for a bunch of octogenarians! They are always shocked every year and how big the boys are and as much as complain about to get up and never being able to our own thing for the holiday, we have fun.
Time for a Motrin.
Dottie - I think it will be nice to have a buddy....maybe just someone to hang out with every now and then.
Love and strength to you Liz

happy 4th STEPPERS!!

[Dottie Belle]

Hi all
Went dancing last night. There were a number of men to dance with and I had a blast. My legs are killing me. One fellow spun me around so many times I thought I was going to fall over...I will definitely go back.
Lunch date with Paul later and maybe dinner with Dave tonight. This is just crazy. But I am enjoying myself and not sitting here being depressed.
Have a great 4th holiday.

Howdy Steppers, if you check someone's profile, most of the time it shows their last log on date, last post, last started thread, etc. I say "sometimes" as these are all optional things you can set in your personal profile. So as I "thread hop" and notice someone missing, I usually, no, always, check their profile to see if they've been lurking. Them I pm them to see why they left and if there's anything I can do to help out.

Have a great day my friends.... Dottie, go easy on the men eh, let them down easy lol

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Good advice cowboy!!

Date was great. Went to a very nice Turkish restaurant for dinner then to a nice piano bar for a little dancing. He is an AA person so drinking is not an issue. He is very kind and attentive.
mama he is a GREAT kisser too...mmmmmm......sigh......anyway will see him later this week I think.
John is back from his trip so this should be an interesting week.
Off to church then not sure what but might go to the park for a walk. All this eating out is killing the diet...

[NoraC]

Morning all..just heading out to take son to work. I got smashed yesterday and I feel like shit and hubby is furious with me. There was a block party and down the street they kept offering me beers. Of course I hadn't been taking my AB like I should have been. Anyway, I got yelled at this morning.

I'll be back later.

[paulywogg]

Hey all,Nora((hugs)) I think the fourth of July is one of the hardest days,EVERYONE is drinkin!!there were even some guys flying by on skateboards holding beers last night,I just did me,let them have the misery today,I DID eat too much salty food and too much caffeine though so this morning I feel close to a hangover, Dots,that sounds like a fun date,off to shower,hope everyone has a nice Sunday

[mama bear]

Happy Fourth everyone.
Well shit Nora. I know ALL about the being yelled at part.....none of that for me this weekend, that heavens.
We went to my parents annual 4th of July party and I had two beers. It was too damn hot to drink.
Dots - you sound like you are having fun and I am happy for you.
Work tomorrow.......wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh
