    Day WHAT?! Yep, Day SEVEN!!!

    I thought that was impossible...I thought an hour after 1pm the first day was impossible. But here I am on Day SEVEN. I didn't know mathmatically that a week is actually equivilant to 3 years...well, that's how long this week has felt.

    I could not have done this by myself for sure. My financial situation may have started the AF idea, but with the help of you guys, my BF and ME, I did it.

    Still doing the night sweat thing, still craving sugar and gnawing on the trees in my front yard. Things that I have discovered this past week:

    The Shell gas station will serve gas without beer (huh).
    Some restaurants don't serve alcohol!
    It is only a coincidence that cup holders in cars fit beer cans.
    I had an extra huge drawer in my fridge this whole time!
    Pee really is yellow.
    The red color in my face was not a result of just being "irish".
    Recycling does not bother me this week.
    ...and SEX. Now I can partake in the eveings too!

    Now what? I guess I'll just keep going.

    Thanks guys!

      Way to go, Colbe! 'Knew you could do it! And I should mention that you sound very different than you did in those first few posts. Dare I say -- happier?

        Colbe,

        You do rock. Awesome.

        Quit eating the trees now, though. We have enough trouble with the environment as it is...

        I am very excited for you.

          lol great job colbe!

          Its funny but true - how much we can find delight in 'normal' activites and day to day living :H

          Here what I learned the past week.............

          I can now go to ANY of the check out girls in the supermarket and not avoid the ones I'm convinced 'know' I have a problem as I buy a bottle or two of wine every day.

          I actually dont mind mornings.

          Soda water, Ice and a slice is my new best friend (and soo low cal! Good bye love handles lol:H)

          I am able to sleep the whole nite without waking (I was convinced the 3am rise was insomnia related!)

          I don't have to do the weekly 'hide the bottles in the bottom of the bin before the binmen come tomorrow' dash home.

          Wooo eeeee small things but significant all the same great job again :goodjob:

            I HEAR THAT! I know my beer distributor is going to go out of biz with out me...in fact Coors Lite will follow suit! My new thing is Seltzer and lime...NOT the pre-made stuff...love it. And the 3am pee, that seems to be going around this forum...hhmmm. I think I will stop sleep eating as well..I am sure that was related. Thanks again guys!

                    The same way you go camping without it. It is NOT easy. You may need twice as many poles to keep your brain in a multi-tasking mode. I imagine when you get home and you tell your fish stories, the fish won't be as large anymore either. Bummer
