    AF Anyone??

    Hello All!!

    Hey Wakeupmom, sorry to hear you fell off your perch. You are going to gonna have to get on back up there darling and keep me company!!! (Yes I know it is easy for me to be postitive with a couple of AF days under my belt....)
    I think it is great that your daughter loves painting. My parents always encouraged me with my artwork and I guess that's why I went on to take art and design subjects. I think some parents are little worried that artists may find it harder than others to make a living out of their profession than say a teacher or an accountant..... If she has talent and enthusiasm, I would encourage her to take some art subjects and some subjects that could be useful in other occupations (just in case!!) Yes, have been painting and seem to be getting a little more done as the days add up.

    Cuckoosnest, sounds like you had a great thanksgiving. I didn't even know there was such a thing as AF wine??? Isn't that just grape juice??:H I mean does it taste like wine??
    I have heard of AF beer, but definately not wine. Anyway, that aside, well done for abstaining! I am already wondering about how Christmas is going to be?? Obviously only a few days into AF again, I am hopeful of it lasting, but those Christmas toasts.....?
    I agree with you wholeheartedly about being Af cleansing the body. I am feeling pretty good.

    Prose, hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday too. How did your visit to the art fair go?? Did you make any purchases. If so I would love a description.
    And,....while we are on the subject of art,.....how is your pottery coming along? Do you glaze your pieces as well as firing them? I would love to be able to use a 'wheel' (is that what they are called?), the thingy that Demi Moore uses in Ghost?? You can sooo tell I am a painter and not a potter.

    Anyhow, hope you are all well and having a good night, morning or afternoon wherever you are.
    Hello to everyone else - hope you are doing ok.

      Yes, Amelia you can tell you are a painter and not a potter. LOL I'm glad you have a few days of AF under your belt and getting more done in the painting department. Love the comment about the AF wine. There are 2 differences between AF wine and grape juice. The shape of the container (AF wine comes in a wine shaped bottle) and the price. :H Guess which one costs more. Oh well I always liked playing pretend as a child.
      I really want to quit the whole AF wine thing too but am very hesitant to do so around the holidays. I know it is like a security blanket but if it keeps me AF I don't care. I'll use it.

      Take care and I'll post more tomorrow.

      Hello everyone.

        Well, a successful day 2 AF. I am excited...

        Just thought I would share. Hoping to hope on board here and maybe, day by day, make 30.

        Love,

          Hi everyone,
          Welcome to you, Beth! good going on 2 days af.
          Amelia, I did find a painting, now you are going to laugh at me becuase I think it is an oil painting but am not sure. It is just a bunch of colors all mixed together, it is really nice.
          yes I do glaze my pottery, and i do have one of the wheely things like in ghost, but patrick swazey has yet to appear and wrap his arms around me,(damn!)....
          but I keep waiting.
          Cuckoo, I think the whole af wine thing is perfectly fine, just like how some people have soda or something in a pretty wine glass, I wouldn't worry about that at all!!
          I start a big training program next week, am a little nervous but also happy to get back moving, I do know that I won't want to feel crappy in the mornings so have that as added incentive,
          Hope you are all having a great weekend,
          P

                  Hello All!! Yep I am pretty knackered today as well. Lots of work on at the moment. Mural painting and 'painting painting' which is good.
                  Day 5 AF for me today and I feel pretty darn good. A few bouts of grumpines, mostly with my boyfriend or commuters on the train (not that they know anything about it of course - it's all in my mind :H )

                  Hello Beth, glad to see you have reached Day 2 or now it must be 3? Well done. Come on back and post some more. I would like to get to 30 days too.......

                  Prose, your painting sounds really nice. And, funnily enough, I wouldn't be able to tell you how to work out what it is painted in either. It is really hard to tell. Acrylic paint can look like oil if a thickening medium has been used and it has been glazed when finished.
                  I would love to see some of your pottery some time?? Do you sell it at all?

                  Cuckoo, how long have you been decorating for?? My goodness you must be relieved that it is all finally completed? I have never decorated my own house, but my partner and I have decorated properties for other people before and it is bloody hard work. I can totally understand the sore back!!!!

                  Wakeupmom - Hey honey, you sound like you are one busy lady at the moment??!! How is your daughter getting on with her artwork?
                  You guys are supposed to be going away on holiday soon aren't you - lucky you. I can't quite remember where you said you where going, but I remember at the time you told me I was impressed

                  finski, universal, bessie, how are you all getting along?

                  Off to bed. Hope you are all well and happy.:l

                    Hey Amelia, yeah I've been suffering from the grumpines today too (which for me is an extremely polite way of saying I have been a real b _ _ _ _). I'm just glad I didn't have to interact with too many people just pretty much sat in my cubicle and did data analysis or paperwork. I think between the back hurting, the not drinking, and the dreary weather it has taken a toll on me. Daily meditation readings only go so far. I want some happy pills. Oh well I'm sitting here with my herb tea looking forward to taking my calms forte and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

                    I loved to see your mural painting. Have you thought about posting anything on the gallery?

                    Everyone else hope to hear from you soon. I should be on for a little bit longer if anyone posts.

                      Hi everyone,
                      good to read about all the news! I laughed to myself when you were talking about the "grumps", must be something in the air, that was me last night.
                      Today was a good day, started a new eating plan and workouts so am pretty proud of myself.
                      yes, Amelia, I do sell my pottery, I was just in a sale and sold almost everything I had, which means I am going to have to hoof it before x-mas, for friends etc.
                      everyone sounds like they are doing well, have a great night, P

                          Hello all. Had a full on day finishing a mural on the 10m x 2m windows of a pub that I have done signwriting on for years. It is a Christmas scene with Santa, the Christmas tree, presents, snowmen, baubles, wreathes and loads of snow. I actually really enjoyed doing it this year. I have done it the last two Christmases and swore I would never do it again. I loved the work. I didn't like the clientele. Yes it was in a pub. Some of the customers just could not stop involving themselves in my work....
                          I like people to notice what I am doing, but these guys seemed like they were a verbal 'running commentry' of what I was doing.
                          I actually heard: 'She's going to wash her brush',...... 'Those snowman's boot's should be black'................arrrrrgggh You guys will get it. It went on all day. Me working, them drinking. Need I say more? xx

                            Hi Wakupmom and Amelia, glad to hear from you guys. What part of the Caribbean, Wakupmom. What a nice break at this time of year. Amelia, I would love to see the mural. It sounds so festive. Nothing like a drunk giving you instructions on how to do your art. Well this will be a short post as I'm headed up to read my book and then to bed. Prose, hope you are doing well and the training is on track. Bessie, Universal, Finski, and everyone else please keep in touch and take care.

                              HI everybody,
                              nice to see the new posts! I am doing well, on the first week of the new fitness program which is making me feel really good.
                              Amelia, is there any way we could see your mural? I would love to see it! wakeupmom, what a wonderful Christmas trip! How long will you be there? I know what you mean about the short days, getting out in the sun will feel so good!
                              cuckoosnest, what are you reading? Is it still the MYO book? you have inspired me, too, to decorate. I have company coming this weekend so it would be nice if that were done when they arrived, but I have some teapots calling me....
                              anyway keep in touch everyone, P
