Hi, Peeps! OK, so how is that I woke up on June 5th and the temerature is 48 degrees? :argh: I'm freezing! I almost turned on the furnace! It is supposed to warm up to the mid 70's today, so I'll just tough it out.

Lilbit, I have been to San Francisco once. We were tourists there back in the 90's. That was a really wonderful trip for me and my family and we all loved San Fran! We also drove from L.A. to San Fran on highway 101. Awesome. Of course we did Universal Studios and the Montereay Bay Aquarium, and Cannery Row. We also stayed in Yosemite. That was a fantastic vacation. We saw a lot of California.

SD, I can't believe you have time to post with all your packing and looking after your son! I appreciate you checking in. I was remembering the last time we moved. It was 17 years ago and we had been in that house 7 years. You can accumulate A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF in 7 years with two young children. Man, what a pile of stuff we had out on the curb! My family helped us with the move. We moved from a wonderful, neat, clean house in a suburban style neighborhood to this old run down, falling apart brick farmhouse. What a change. We always wanted to live in the country and a fixer-upper was the only way we could afford to do it in this area. All my family and friends thought we were nuts! It was a lot of hard work! We love it here, though. How long have you been in you current home?

Sea, You're Red Sox are doing Great! Indians lost yesterday.

PR, I am just following baseball to fill the time until pre-season NFL! I enjoy listening to baseball on the radio, but I can't sit and watch it. One thing about listening to it is that it helps me feel close to my family and my 'roots' somehow. In the summer when I was a kid, the Indian's games always seemed to be on in earshot somewhere! It's kind of nostalgic for me. That was a long time ago, and my parent's generation are almost all gone now.

Chops, So glad you checked in! I hope you are doing well. You know that we are thinking of you and sending you good and positive thoughts. :l Oh! I see my grandson Saturday! Woo-hoo!

Lilmea, thinking of you, too!:h

To all who pop in today, have a great day, and may you all meet your goals for today!

Hello Dill and everyone,

Just popping in to say Hi.
My success continues with both of my challenges but I have to admit giving up the smokes has been the hardest. Maybe it's because I carried that monkey much, much longer than I did the alcohol monkey. Who knows? I'm just grateful that I've been able to stick with my plans, does wonders for your self esteem

Looking forward to more grandson time this weekend. He's 6 months old now and a total joy.
Wishing peace & blessings to everyone.

:rays:Wakey wakey, Nesters! It's a gorgeous day here. I've already been out for breakfast, have done the weekly grocery and sundry shopping and am home waiting for Daughter-in-Law, grandson to arrive! :happy:I bought him a little shorts and tank top outfit and an orange playgound ball that matches! We live on a farm, as some of you know, so I didn't go crazy buying stuff to play with because we'll probably do a lot of exploring the great outdoors with him. Oh! Yeah, hb cleaned up the old wooden wagon we bought some 30 years ago for our kids. He cleaned it up and gave it a fresh coat of bright red paint! So CUTE! I'll get a picture.

Hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning Nesters!!
Dill, you have a WONDERFUL time this weekend!!!! I can just imagine the wagon....I think I had one about 30 years ago:H It's raining here so it's a perfect day for packing...so I'm happy with that!! Brayden's dad is on is way here to take him up to my mom's to stay with him there...long story...we think there might be mold in the basement that might be some of the cause of this problems and want to get him out of this house...THANK GOODNESS WE ARE MOVING IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!!
For all the other birdies that may fly by...have a GREAT Saturday!!!!

Here i am! I am going to be challenged at this new venture of mine. Woke up this morning head spinning, hands shaking and nauseous. Had to have a glass of wine to feel better. Chardonnay that's my vice. never thought I would have such a problem with something like white wine. How sad is that? Something so simple but so complex. I started drinking it out of a coffee mugs so my 7 yr old daughter wouldn't notice i was drinking so much. Well, that didn't work! she asked me last night to stop drinking wine. You should have seen that face and how much she meant it. I said I would and even pinkie swore on it. Now here I am having a glass. SO SAD! but at least I am here writing to you all. HELP!!! What type of doctor do you talk to? To get help! A general doctor? or a specialist? Tomorrow will be my will be my first AF day and it will continue for a long time. I HOPE!:eekmonkey:

:welcome: Welcome challenged! Perfect name. We are all challenged! I have lost control of my wine drinking, too. It is sad, but it is what it is! I'm glad you joined us on MWO! We are here to support each other through this sometimes difficult journey. Stay close, read and post!

Welcome, Challenged. You'd be surprised how many of us succumb to wine as our vice of choice. I used to think that only the people who drank 'hard liquor' had a problem. Duh!! BTW, an interesting thought for you...with Chardonnay, it's not only the alcohol that you're battling -- it also wreaks havoc on your blood sugar, which intensifies the cravings. Anyway, you're in a good place, here. Lots of support available and non-judgmental company from people who are in it with you. Keep posting & reading. It really helps.
