Hi guys,

Well it's 2am here and I'm just getting ready to go to bed. It's my ball tournament weekend but I have to say I'm doing good (insomnia a little but al only a little as well)

Had some beers today.......it is really hard not to when it's an athletic weekend.....I know I should say "no, just a soda" but after sweating it out in the heat and the rest of the team is sharing pitchurs it's more difficult than it seems I guess......

We had an issue with one of our girls today and an anger problem - wow........didn't like an umps call and boy did she freak..........threw her bat, swore, almost hurt someone...it was insane. I had to step up and say it's time for you to leave, my 7 year old child doesn't need to see this. Kind of put a damper on the day to say the least. Hopefully tomorrows game will be without any drama......

Start volley ball next week (sorry, unlike Bessie and her animals, my life is all sports! LOL) Looking forward to that.......good team, good folks and not as much beer drinking after as baseball is.....hopefully I can make it through!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend..........Love you guys!

2am - ouch! That closer to the time I get up than the time I go to bed! :H At least doing all that sport you will be working off some of the calories from Al. I would like to do a bit more sport - though probaby only swimming and squash. Team sports were a bad experience for me at school. Mostly to do with being told that I was playing in this and that team after school on this and that day when I already had other plans and didn't want to be in the team anyway!! Hockey was a nightmare but I quite enjoyed netball. Anyway, that was a million years ago when my biggest vice was too much chocolate! Now I am battling my grown up vice but this month it's going ok and I'm feeling very much better for it.

Off to clean tack, horse etc before heading off to famous UK racecourse town (Newmarket) for a 20 mile sponsored ride. If I am not too sodden and knackered I'll report back later.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Love to you all.

I'm in for a "fall-swim" today in my pool. But I think this evening the heater will go off for the season. Here in oregon, pools are marginal, and the heating costs go high once our nights get cool.

Captn I have a pooper scoop service that cleans out my dog run weekly. I have Schipperke's, which are small dogs with small poops. But with three of them it adds up quite a bit.

For us this time of year it's spiders. We have a great garden, but in fall the spiders build webs at every walkway. My spouse gets angry at walking right into a web and breathing in a spider. (IMO it's just eight legged protein... like a lobster which is a delicacy at $30/lb!)

Happy Sunday to all. May all your Spiders become Protein, and all your dogs become doo free.

Hi all ODAT'rs

Beautiful sunny Sunday here for a change. Enjoying it while it lasts. Day 7 AF and glad to have first AF week-end nearly over. Week-ends are much harder than week days.

Enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone.

Hey Everyone! Good Morning.
It's cool and breezy here in the Northeast US. Maybe a little bit of Hanna I guess.
Picking the last of the cherry tomatoes today.....spiders! Boy, I've got alot of webs too! YUK! But they are good creatures for the garden.
Last night AF again so feeling like a real person this morning instead of just a shell.
Off to get some work done! Have a good day all!

Happy Sunday to all. Spiders and poop - we have both in our back yard. I was out there this morning and picked one of the last crops of habanero peppers - they are so hot I don't know what to do with them. I have been giving them away after I found the hot sauce I made out of them could take the paint off your house. YEOW! Tomorrow I turn 44 and that will be the beginning again for me. I have been good at moderating, but I'd rather just be AF - that way I just don't have to think about AL. It is a beautiful day here in PA - I hope the heat is gone. Done with summer and ready for Fall. I go back to work tomorrow after 4 days off, so I should have about 400 emails. Guess I know what I will be doing on my birthday! LOL. Take care everyone.

Morning All. Spiders and poop made me laugh. My garden is also winding down, but mostly because I haven't been tending it like I should. I usually have the last of my tomatoes with Christmas dinner. Oh well, next summer.

Thinking how nice that will be to workout there sober and without this stupid heartbreak anymore.

Day 2 of Topa for me. Stupidly did not read the directions yesterday and took it in the AM instead of afternoon. So today I will get it right. So far feel nothing, but I would expect that from just one day.

Party was fun last night. Should not have drank so much wine, but I still controlled it better than I would have just a few weeks ago. I guess baby steps.

Funny, a gal at the party I've met a few times and I stepped outside for a cigarette. We both had a glass of wine in our hands, and I looked at her and KNEW she was in the same spot as me. Funny how I can see it now in people's faces and eyes. I asked her if she ever thought she drank too much wine. Long story short, yes, and I told her about this site and what I was doing. I hope she finds the courage to come here and at least read a bit. She is like many of us were "not sure I have a problem". Yet she drinks every day, and while she says only a glass or two, I watched her drink over a bottle of wine last night in about 3 hours. Ah well, my good deed for the day.

Here's to a strong day for all of us ...

Good Day all ODATer's ---- I just came home from being rained out on the golf course ... only got 4 holes in when a steady downpour drove us in.
To think this would have been day 7 for me, if I hadn't caved in on Friday night .... after almost making it. Still feeling cross with myself for that, but at least today I'm feeling clear headed and energetic again. What a waste of a day yesterday! So back to recounting ... this is another day 2 for me.
For those of you that have sunshine ---- get out and enjoy it! I think I'll head to the gym to work off a few of those wine pounds!

Just a quick hello before I turn in for the night.....very difficult weekend at family party and get together. Where ever I looked there was al and the kids didn't give us much space all weekend or sleep. Managed to not drink but my mood and energy levels are very low. Not sure how much more it'll take to tip me over but so far so good!
Glad to hear about everyone elses weekend- sounds like you have all achieved your goals! Bessie- hope the race went ok, we drove past Newmarket on the way home tonight and I thought of you!
Anyway day 7 done and dusted!
love Evie

Happy Sunday ODATs,

Sun is out and still warm after Hanna blew through last night. Bessie, is your horse ride a leisurely one, or a race? Is it to raise money for a cause or just for the fun of it? Uni - beer is very tempting after a game, though I must admit I was a better fan than participant. Neither of my girls were sportsters - more dancers and musicians. So I just never got into it. I'm beginning to think I missed out, though I don't need the temptation now. I do so much better when in my routine, and I hope to evolve to the point where challenges go in one ear and out the other. But it is a process as we all know. Have a great week all, just one day at a time.
