    ODAT - Saturday

    Morning all ODATers, checking in-ers, new folk and anyone who just wants to come on board and tell us how you are getting on just for today! I'm Bessie and I'm an ODATaholic! :H:H

    I think I am also a sleepaholic - in bed by 8.30 last night (sober) and not up until 7.30 this morning. Don't know what's going on but I need a lot of rest at the moment. Still, better to have lots of proper sleep than drunk sleep. Into a few days AF and hope to keep it going for as long as possible ODAT. Got a plan for today - should be easy to stay AF. Read a post by Peanut yesterday describing exactly how I want to be - a good lot of AF days interspersed with a few chosen carefully moderated days. I think the clue for me is to only have one day of drinking, then follow it straight away with more AF days otherwise several drinking days start the ball rolling to a binge.

    For those of you that want news of the animals (!!) Piglets are out in the field away from their mum for weaning. They are pretty happy with that and are like a little bunch of kids - they sleep lots then get up and run around together and all go and poo/pee together in the same corner of the field, then eat, then run around together a bit more then more sleeping. All in a pile together - so cute! It's not a bad life (as long as nobody tells them of their fate in a few months time!!) Their mum Bertha is back in with her sister Bessie (!) and on Monday they are being joined by their new boyfriend for 6 weeks......!! They come into season every 21 days so 6 weeks should mean that they both get covered during a season. The yard they are in is just outside my bedroom window so I hope they keep their.. errr...passions.. quiet!!

    Off to walk the dogs down to where the horse is and put a rug on him as it looks like rain today. But as of tomorrow we have got a week of good weather forecast! Yay! Lots of work to do in the veg patch. Very late with it this year.

    Love and health and a good ODAT to all to come.

    ODAT - Saturday

    Ok Bessie, let me fill you in on life in the land of LA LA.......Los Angeles.
    Its been incredibly hot, so much so I can't sleep. Its 1 am right now and I have the fan on. Hubbie is snoring in the next room. I have an excercise class in the morning. A group of us meet at the beach for an hour of torture. Although having said that I love it......jogging on the shore watching the dolphins swim! Occasionally they'll body surf. You'll see their silohettes in the water as the wave begins to break. After that I go to the local open air market to buy organic fruits and vegetables for the next few days. I plan to go to the beach to sunbathe and swim because its too damn hot right now to do much else. After that.........who knows. If I'm lucky Hubbie might take me out for dinner.....it might sound romantic but I haven't told you about the down side of living here. The traffic is legendary. I live 10 blocks away from the beach but it can take me 30 mins to get there. Its gridlock most weekends in the summer. I won't bore you with EVERYTHING but as it arises ODAT. I'll let you know when I bump into any celebrites........ran into Val Kilmer at the beach!!!!!!!!! I had to hide my cellulite!!!
    So, east coast.......your turn.........whats your life like? Then maybe Aussie and we can cover the world!!!!

      Good Morning

      O Bessie -- Thanks for coming to the party this morning! As I told you yesterday, for me my morning Is: walk the dog, feed dog, make coffee, get a cup, turn on computer and have coffee with ODAT. That's nice.

      So you can imagine my surprise this morning, never did expect such a randy post. But must say in a very voyeuristic sense I was hearing the piggies, er..........., well, how else can i say it ..........doiing IT. Thanks for the laugh and I expect that the blanket for the horse will be as warm as Bessie's love.

      So RN I didn't know till now that you were in LA. Do you have green or day-glo orange spiky hair do?

      Speaking of city slickers, yes I am one. My address says Virginia (US) but the truth is that I just barely live in Virginia. I am a stones throw from Washington DC. When I look out my window I see only the Potomac River which divides Virginia (Alexandria City) and Washington. And every piece of ground, every tree I see from my window actually is in Washington DC. Just liked the idea of living in Virginia .........well you know horses, pigs, country side, horse blankets. OMG I JUST realized that I am living vicariously through Bessie!!! Love you all ODATimers. :l Today is Day 7..... yippee!!!!!!!!!

        Good Morning to all ODAT'ers
        Well, here in sunny Florida all I can say is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!

        Well, its nice in the morning. i ususally get up early with my coffee and book, sit on the patio by the pool and lounge. Today I'm off to a friends son's birthday party. Lot's of little kids. I'm not used to that anymore having a 13 and 18 year old, but at least i get to come home when they are all sugared up. LOL

        Everyone sounds like they are doing real well. Today is day 18 AF for me and I intend to keep going.

        Bessie-thanks for starting us off every morning. I look forward to your posts everyday.

        RN-sounds like you are doing well. Glad to see you in chat in the evenings. It helps me stay AF.

        Matt- You have been doing so well. I have been following your progress and I know you can keep going.

        Everyone have a Great Day.

          I am checking in too. day 25 AF for me and lost 10 pounds so far. the topa really does drop the appetite! I needed that too. I was at the beach in central Ca last few days. Nice there but had to go inland and is very hot here in central valley today about 102 expected ( but it's a dry heat!). Really wanted to stay at the beach.
          Maybe Finally RN can you ride your Bike to the beach and skip all the traffic, save gas and get some exercise at same time? I recently had my bike fixed up so I can ride it to work. It is only 3 miles each way and a good way to unwind on way home and a good excuse not to take work home with me!

            I agree Bessie, I'm sleeping a lot, too, but it's good to have proper sleep. When drinking a lot of wine, I go to sleep, wake up about 2 am with a raging headache, take 2 aspirin, go back to sleep until 6, wake up, take 2 more aspirin, start the day exhausted and sick. It's so much better to have real sleep.

              A quick hello. Noelle kept me up late. My eye is better, the kitty went to get stitches removed, doggie is desperate to play & I need to get some bills in the mail and a gagillion other errands. It is a beautiful day here in SE USA. Pleasant temp and the horrid humidity has not set in yet. Maybe I'll take doggie for a walk across the dam later.

                OK, lets get one thing straight Mat..........no orange or spikey hair for me!!!!!! I am a NATURAL beauty....hehehehe. I've been to DC a couple of time Mat......Never saw you. I won't be going any time soon though. The person that I'd visit, we had a HUGE falling out.......if you see him Mat, punch his lights out for me will you? Thanks. Let me know if I can return the favor one day. My dad is Columbian and I'll get the brothers on it OK?
                Kiri, my bike has gone to the junk yard in the sky.....really miss it and yeah I use to bike to work also, its only 10 blocks away........I can't always though. I carry a pager half the month for work and have only 30 mins to respond to an emergency. the 16 blocks are nothing but its all up hill and I might be in worse shape than the patient when I got there!!!!!! Hence the boot camp.
                I love that all of us are so upbeat........You can tell we feel good about ourselves being AF, with everyday we're in better moods.
                Keep em coming!
