    December Determination ~ AF ~ Week 2

    It is fun though and I want to live and enjoy myself. So I will.
    Red-Your attitude is rocking! So positive. Yes, there is so much in life to enjoy once we are clear headed enough to realize it.

    MM-I hope the cold is better. Any news about the jobs?

    SD-I have a front loader but it doesn't have a window. I want a window! :H

    LHB-I agree with Lav that your post office visit should be a movie. We just need to give it a title. Maybe Dill can help us with that. She is so good at rhyming.

    Sooty-What is the temperature where you are? It's cold here even if the sun was shining.

    some fruits, some vegetables, pumpkin seeds, lentils & cashews that I can wash down with mineral water & green tea
    .

    Lav-How about sharing a couple of your recipes. I'm interested to see what kind of meals you can make out of your list of items.

    Chops-Being treated like a Queen is something I think I could get use too! You sound so happy these days. You sooo deserve it. :l:

    Dill-What a difficult way to start your day. It sounds as if you handled it quite well. I can picture 'Pissed of Papa' firing of angry letters to the entire school board.

    The wind isn't quite as bad as yesterday but it is very cold. I think most of us were hit by this same storm system. I hope everyone made it through safe and warm.

    Usually my cats want to go out first thing in the morning. Two of them turned right around and went back to their beds, as soon as the wind hit them in the face. And the other two were just furry blurs, flying out and right back in. I am going to join them, staying home and warm.

    I will be thinking of all my friends who have to be out in this cold weather. Stay safe and warm.
    AF since 7/26/2009

      Hi gang just popped in as I'm off to get showered before hospital eye test thing this afternoon - diabetic retinopathy screening - its great fun. What is it they say about old age? it doesn't come alone - in my case thats certainly true!
      Lil its 10c here at the moment and actually quite pleasant in the sun - one of my cats is lying outside on the garden table and he felt warm when I stroked him a few minutes ago!
      Lav I'd love to try some of your recipes if you can find time to share them - where are you my dear, haven't seen you yet today - hope you haven't got a headache from trying to work it all out!
      Better rush now - see you all later

        December Determination ~ AF ~ Week 2

        Good morning all!

        I feel privileged to be sitting here in sunny 43 degree weather The pictures of the midwest on the news last night were frightening. Hope everyone stays in today!

        I did a little more reading in the Better Bone book last night. The suggestion is consuming 80% low alkaline foods & 20% high acid foods for the first 3 months. Now this 20% high acid foods can include 1 egg & a 3 oz. serving of chicken or fish and 1 serving (.5 cup) of dried beans and 1-3 (.5 cup) servings of whole grains - brown rice, buckwheat, millet, oats quinona. No barley, rye or wheat.

        I'm staring at the cup of seeds in the bird cage right now - our cockatiel eats a mixture of millet, sunflower seeds..........I guess we could share Well, I'll let you guys know what I come up with!!!

        I really need to get to work - people are pestering me to get their holiday gifts done. Geez, you'd think Christmas was right around the corner!!!!!

        I'll check in later, have a great day!

        Lav

          Good Morning!!

          Lav--I can just picture you eyeing the bird's food....the bird pecking your hand as it slowly enters the cage :H I agree though with everyone...if anyone can make the best of this situation, it's you!!

          Lil-My puppy thought the snow on the ground was the coolest thing the first time she saw it....racing around looking at her footprints...now...with it THIS cold....she goes out with a gentle shove, does her busines and promply runs back in!!! Those poor animals!!

          Sooty--You deserve the sun!! I'm happy for you...enjoy...I'm jealous!!

          Dill-I think nicknaming your parents at school must be a Nation-wide thing, huh? :H I think we have that guy's uncle, cousin and sister here!!!! Having a sense of humor is the ONLY way to get through most day at a school!!!

          Red-whereabouts in the modwest are you located...I'm thinking we must be close to the same freezing area!!! ((((BRRRR))))

          LBH--I felt like I was in line with you!! I LOVE the way you write!!!!!!! Very creative--expressive!!!

          Our music program is about to begin so I better get to the gym....sorry not to address everyone...to all other popping in today...have a Terrific Thursday!!! I'm dressed Christmasy today....except the light bulbs on my necklace don't blink anymore...I must need a new battery!!

            Good Morning!!! It's the day before Friday and I couldn't be happier!!!

            Dill, what a rough day to start off yesterday. I do, however, like the nickname you gave the dad. :H I'm not sure if my dad has gotten his seed catalogs or not. I know that he got his bulbs for the glads already, so he was pretty excited about that!!! Yes, dad approves of the boyfriend Thanks for the kind words of being a good role model. I do try with his daughter, but she is quite self-centered. I'm not used to that, as my son and nieces don't display that sort of behavior. It's quite challenging!

            Lav, your diet sounds very complicated. My head would be exploding right now. Yes, you must share some of the recipes. I wish you good luck with this new adventure. I wish I had more information on osteoporasis for you. Good luck with the Christmas gifts!

            SD, my niece sits in front of my sister's front loader and watches the clothes. It can be quite hypnotic to watch. I am a laundry freak, so if I had front loaders, I'd probably sleep beside them! :H Yes, the boyfriend is approved by dad and son! My son had a stern warning for him though. It is fabulous to be treated like a queen. I get sweet emails every morning. We met on September 5th, so now on the 5th of every month, I get flowers and sweet letters from him.

            Lil, every lady should be treated like a queen!!! I am very happy! I do hope you joined your cats in returning to bed. Stay warm and pamper yourself!!

            LBH, I loved your post office story. My, what patience you have. May I borrow some of it? Lines at the post office drive me mad, but I guess there really is nothing we can do about it.

            Red, please stay warm and try not to blow away! Enjoy those Christmas cookies!!! Life is too short to miss out on the good stuff!

            Sooty, hope you are enjoying the sun. I would join your cat and soak up the rays! Glad you aren't having to deal with all the rain right now.

            MM, hope your cold is better and job prospects are coming together.

            Hello to anyone I may have missed, or who will be stopping in later.

            Sorry for the novel!!! Have a great AF day everyone!!! :l :l

              Hi Everybody,
              I figured it out that whatever the kind of addiction one has, its all the same, I mean its all derived from one focal point and that is from the programming of your belief system. Whether its a Cigarette Smoking addiction or whether its an alcoholic addiction, its all the same. So one can give it a thought and can start to look into the matter of managing their habits by viewing it from a different perspective. When you want to learn more about quitting cigarette smoking or any other addiction please look forward to see my articles.
              Thanks

                  :welcome: Welcome, TangibleInfo! Glad to have you with us! I do hope to see more posts from you.

                  I'm winding down my day. Lil asked me to let you know that she has had a family emergency, so although she will try to check in, she may not be able to. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

                  Pink dreams.

                  If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

                    Good evening kids!

                    Looks like a lot of good news around here!!

                    New washers & dryers, new boyfriends - geez, I'm getting jealous :H

                    This diet challenge is a bit drastic. I think I'll ease myself into it.....I can eliminate a few things & not miss them. I just don't know how to feed Mr Lav. He's one of those big meat & potato eaters - yuck! Teaching him to eat salad & vegetables was tough work 35+ years ago! I have a Lentil Stew with Spinach & Potatoes recipe on board for tomorrow & he's agreed to that. I'll have to skip the feta cheese topping (dairy not allowed). I found that recipe on Epicurious.com if anyone is jealous :H

                    I made a lot of progress in my shop today - thank goodness! I only have one more job waiting so I'm happy.

                    Just got the news that my daughter & her husband are moving into my neighborhood:yay:
                    They will be moving into a rental on the adjacent road - within walking distance on Feb. 1.
                    They currently live about 1 1/2 hrs. away. It will be nice to have my best friend around again :l

                    Well, I'll wish everyone a warm & dry evening. It's getting windier & colder here now....brr!
                    Have a good night!

                            What good news to have you with us, Davie dear, you and your thoughtful reasons will fit right in here. Such good news on so many other horizons as well with new jobs, new loves, new hope for new bones, new stuff, and stories of endurance and humor. Red, we shall love life and cookies right along with you. We all send our strength to you, Lil, and wish you and your family peace and relief from whatever is ailing. We have a strong group heart and it is with you wherever you go.:l I am so glad you are back, Kimber, my hardest times tend to be when I am over tired and over extended so you are in familiar company and nobody gets left behind on this trip.:l I had a good day of seasonal things; decided to replace my elderly dangerous golden tree lights with pricey energy wise tiny LED ones. After having my annual long solemn conversation with my giant orange tabby about being a steward and curator of the dozens of antique glass ornaments I have collected over the years, I turned on the tree and what a shock, the new little lights are quite a hue, positively glacial. It took a bit of getting used to but I have come to find the whole curious mix to be lovely. Lord Bird Heart liked them so much that I went back to the hardware store for a string of faceted ones for the front door. This is the first time I have ever decorated my tree in my entire adult life (nine thousand eighty-seven consecutive years) without drinking. Who knew it could happen. Love, Ladybird.
                            may we be well
