Hey all
Red good to see you here and glad you're doing ok! Hope that situation at work works out. There's always that one person isn't there?

Rusty, I have missed you. What a wonderful thing you and your mom are doing. I keep thinking I would like to get involved with something like that but time always get away from me. Your brunch sounds lovely as usual. I'm sure your table looks lovely. I love planning things like that sometimes even more than the actual event. I just rearranged the flower centerpieces from Cjs engagement party. Some of them are still alive and they are just really pretty. Have I mentioned how much I love spider mums?

Pauly, you can't possibly be getting sick again can you? I hope not. Is Michelle staying in Florida? I thought it was just a trip.

Nora, how's it going today?

Erin is coming by today. She's a little under the weather but we are taking Marks new car out for a spin. Hopefully I will finish wrapping gifts and tonight there is a concert at church.
Wishing everyone an great AF Saturday.

Good morning everyone! How's everyone's weekend going? Weather is kind of gloomy here. We have a holiday party this afternoon and I am looking forward to it. We do an ornament exchange which sounds kind of lame but always ends up being lots of fun.
Ok so confession time for me. Hubby and son are off to Colorado tomorrow to do some skiing. I will be here alone and I must admit I am fighting the thoughts in my head, I am laying a plan (sissy is coming over after work) and I will be sticking close by here. I can do this. I am upset with myself that I am even entertains this thought. Thank you all for being here!

[NoraC]

Good morning - haven't read back completely but just saw this.

Liz - you have got this. This is hard - fighting those thoughts - but you have an excellent plan. You came here first and told us so that we can keep close with you. Sissy will be there after work.
You know what I think? I think you should be very PROUD of yourself for not keeping all this to yourself and for being proactive!! :hug: It is too easy to isolate when thoughts begin to stir around in our brains. It is great that you are taking this important step to stay on the path you want to be on.

First time since I joined MWO, I put a couple members on ignore. I am hoping that will stop the crap that shows up on the feed. Aaaarrrrggghhhhh Frustrating.

Anyway - on to happier things. Had a busy day yesterday but we did get our tree.

Red - sorry about the crap at work. It is stressful & just so draining. I haven't been to Bingo. My friend sits outside because she smokes and it's too cold. Not cold like you have but cold.

Rusty - how wonderful for you & your Mom to volunteer. I'm anxious to hear how your brunch turned out. Do you cook the entire meal yourself?

Pauly - I can't wait to see pics of their 'pretty' Christmas sweaters. LOL Sorry to hear that Michelle isn't going to be home for Christmas. Umm, awkward about the bong. Not something that I would want to mail.

Liz - how was the ride in Mark's car? I hope that Erin is feeling better. Have fun at your party. I'm having a stay at home day.

I wish that all of our missing folks would check in. Missing you all. xx

[Lizann]

Nora, thanks for you kind words. I had to let you guys know, because it will help me to fight those thoughts. Can't let my friends down you know. I'm sticking close this week. Taking the boys to the airport at 4:30 am! It's snowing pretty hard right now and I'm hoping it won't be a factor. Not supposed to be. Anyway thanks for your support. I'll keep you posted!
Marks car is very nice, luxurious and sporty. Erin is very, um, mucousy! Coughing up a lung. Maybe she'll take a sick day tomorrow.
Sweet dreams, super short night for me!

[NoraC]

I don't envy you all and driving in the snow. Would take me a while to get used to. We hardly even have rain in the last few years.

Get some rest & stick close, Liz.

[NoraC]

Heading to bed myself I hope that everyone has a wonderful week. :heartbeat:

[paulywogg]

Hey all, Liz, hope the drive went smoothly, wishing everyone a great AF Monday

[NoraC]

Liz how was the drive?

Pauly - how you doing?

Happy Monday all

[Lizann]

Hey guys. My guys got off early and arrived safely in Colorado. It was pouring waken I drove, but no snow so it was all good. I got back home at 6 am and checked my phone. There was a message from Ann (coworker) she called in sick. I figured the hospital would call me so I layed down for a bit. I woke up at 9 and they had called. I went in around 11. It was chaos. Anyway Ann just texted and she'll be out until Thursday. She's off Friday and Monday too. So basically I'm working by myself and she's working 1 day. I'm pretty upset as she is taking vacation between Christmas and New Years. I get one freaking day, maybe!
Sorry for venting. Otherwise I'm doing ok. Absolutely no desire to drink. I think perhaps I was just anticipating the worst. Off to watch some netflix. Goodnight guys

The extra work sucks Liz, but it'll definitely keep you occupied! And it's better to have a plan and not need it then to need a plan and not have it! You're doing it the right way my friend!

[NoraC]

That coworker has a history of pulling this doesn't she?? When do your boys get home?

How is everyone?

[SKendall]

From phone, trip was too eventful, as was my stay with daughter. No internet
Until Thu. Love all if you. Vivian still perfect in every wait
