ODAT - Saturday

[Bessie]

Hi all

Back from THE most wonderful relaxing time at the spa. Sadly I'm straight back into a load of work but it was a brilliant break - more about it later.

In the meantime, hello to all, old and new. AF during the spa break - no problem. Welcome home dinner with hubby last night included al (and I really know it!) but now I am set for the rest of the month AF, ODAT of course!

Love to all to come.

ODAT - Saturday

Welcome back Bessie! We missed you!

I had a good ODAT week (on day 6 consecutive AF/NF) and it is relatively easy for me right now. Probably because like the dumbass that I am I dove for a volleyball and badly bruised a couple of ribs.....quite painful I gotta tell ya! LOL

So needless to say the thought of drinking isn't really in my mind right now, more like "does anyone have any Tylenol?" LOL

I have a busy weekend but I am determined to make it AF - I do have baseball today, not sure how I am going to play exactly but I am taking AF beers in my cooler. I need to hit the one week mark for both not smoking and not drinking. It's been a long time. I've heard people say that once you hit the 17 day mark of not smoking that you are done - well, I've got 11 days to go and it's easier to not smoke if you don't drink! Wish me luck! I'll be here every day taking it ODAT.

Hope everyone meets their goals this weekend,
Love and Hugs,
Uni

Morning!

Welcome back Bessie! :l Even if it is straight into the frying pan! :H I made it through the hearing. Hubby was late and it proceeded without him. He blamed everyone but himself. (typical)

Uni, ball game with bruised ribs? You must be bionic woman! I'd be on the couch whining.

Glad I didn't have plans last night - I was asleep on the couch at 9 PM. Dinner & movie w/ GF tonight. Errands today. Ladie's brunch tomorrow and cruise an outdoor art & craft festival.

Anyone have an idea for a brunch appetizer? Seven girlfriends. I can make it today or in the AM.

Have a good one!

Good Morning Bessie, Uni, Greenie and all to follow
Great to have you back Bessie. I hope you had a great time and good on you for staying AF. Still with ya Uni-Day 6, wish I could say it was NF too, but one demon at a time for me. You amaze me woman, baseball with a broken rib? Be careful.
Greenie-you sound great. I use the epicurious.com for all of my recipes. i hope you enjoy your brunch.
Well, today is Freedomfest in Boston (Rally for decriminalization of marijuana) After that, I will try and be marijuana free as well. I am not even sure if we are going as I as supposed to go with my daughter and her girlfriend and they pulled an all nighter and are not here yet. Oh well. I have never been before, even though I grew up in Boston, so I just wanted to check it out once.
I went to an AA meeting last night alone after much prodding from the AF Army and I so glad that I did. I was so impressed to see a 26 year old get a 6 year medallion. I can't even imagine being AF for 6 years at that age. Many young people. It was Great. It is very chilly here this morning, but the sun is shining. Have a wonderful day All!!!

Hi - I have a few minutes here before I'm off to Aloha Land. I contacted a hasher from there, and am going to try go running with the Hash House Harriers from there on tuesday - should be fun!
Greenie - I made mushroom turnovers for a party last night - soooo delicious - no wonder, considering the pastry is made with butter AND creamcheese!!!!!
Bessie - welcome back. Tell us about the spa!!!
Uni - hope those ribs heal - have fun playing ball, you maniac!!!
I hear Boston is lovely Sea - maybe one day I'll get there - must suggest it for a conference location! Have fun at the festival.
Vera - I feel for you - not there yet myself, and not looking forward to it!!! Feel better, ok?

My BF just told me that this will be the last weekend for 20 degree weather (that's celsius) - it has been wonderful, absolutely beautiful this past couple of weeks. Probably will be snow on the ground when I return - Ha!!! No!!! Still have to clean out my garden!!!
OK - off the the airport with me!
Love you all!!!!!!!

Happy Saturday all,

Peanut, bon voyage! The one good thing about my condition is that ibuprophen does wonders, and it's not something I can possibly become addicted to, I think. And what's so bad about hot flashes during a New England winter? :H Anyway, hubby and I spent today at a history symposium in Plymouth, MA and it was very well done. Learned a lot about immigrants - Pilgrims, Dutch, Italians, Jews and a European theatrical family that came to the US and summered in Mass. So many families, so many stories. As I listened, couldn't help but imagine who in those old photos just might have had a drinking problem and didn't have MWO or the ODAT thread to pour out their misery/triumphs?!? Interesting day.

Welcome back Bessie!! Oh a spa sounds so wonderful. I hope you were totally spoiled during your stay. And Uni, you are one brave woman going out on the field when you should be on injured reserve! Don't let anyone come close to those ribs!! See you all tomorrow!

Hi guys, I survived! I'm sore (duh, no kidding - LOL). I'm on the couch with an icepack and I am done the sports for the week. I think that tomorrow am I may be in pain so I think I'll get a spare for volleyball this week and let this rib heal up. I would have called in today but we were short and didn't want to let down the team. But now I am SOOOOOO on the injured reserve list! ICE and REST for me!!!!

Talk to you all tomorrow!!!

Love and hugs,
Uni
