Oooooohhhhhhhhh. This might be a British English versus American English thing.

Sorry!

I think it must be, because I couldn't work out what you were talking about.

OK I just feel weird now. So you mean to get "stuck in" means something like just putting the ol' shoulder to the grindstone and getting to work even if you don't really want to?

'Cause the only thing I could figure was it's close to "getting sucked into" something, as in some project that starts taking up all your time. And so I figured this was a case of a Kindle or an iPhone working it's daft magic on common sense... like that apostrophe there in what clearly should be the possessive "its." Oh, wait, I am actually on my laptop with no autocorrect. Hmmmm.

Sorry to belabor the point, just wanted to clarify because I'm feeling kinda dumb these days.

Ah...sucked in vs stuck in. I get it now.

Taw? You've been awful quiet. Everything ok?

Morning all! Wow! Been busy here! The party was a HUGE success! he was so surprised, had a great time as did all the lil lads! But we are home today with a bad ass cold!! He was up all night sneezing, coughing. It's not all from the party. We had 2 days of intense baseball tryouts Sat and Sun morning in the cold. And 2 basball games at night, in the cold. Plus the party, plus he does not sleep well when he is at his dads...so I took him home with me last night after the baseball game hoping to get him some good sleep, and instead he ended up sick!

Oh well, it is rainy and cold and gross and a good day to stay at home!

Doing well, here, in regards to AL....had a moment before the party on Sat. of how nice it would be to have a glass of wine to take the edge off, knowing my mom and sister would be there critiquing the whole thing, but instead had a freeze pop (my new favorite thing! much better than the ice cream I was consuming by the spoonfuls!) And they both ended up telling me what a great job I did! Sober Success!!!

NE and Windy, hope the packing is coming along....having moved so much in the last couple years, all I can say is once you get started, it will all go smoothly! Kind of theraputic, at least to me!

Hope everyone is having a great day! Stuck, Red, hope you are feeling better! Bruun, M, Space, thanks for checking in. Reg, love the song!

Catch y'all later!

Glad the party went so well, shame about the cold but maybe thats natures way of giving you and your son and day in together to cosy up :l

Good news about the party, Taw. And of course the booze, or lack of it. Don't know what a 'freeze pop' is but I doubt it could be "better than ice cream". Unless it actually causes one to orgasm, it couldn't possibly be.

SiLA, don't feel weird, you're just foreign. It's not your fault. Don't worry, we'll teach you the language. Just stick with us and you'll pick it up in no time.

The unpacking is moving along...I hate moving. Hate it. But it's coming along and should start to resemble something like home soon.

So happy about the party! I hope you got some good pix. I'll check later in the week...

What're you doing this coming weekend? Fancy some yard work in a far away place? Like Virginia???
xxoo

Wasn't that morning two days ago? And what's new this morning? huh? How's it going? Inquiring minds and all that...

Morning!

I came bac to work yesterday after being off with my sick son Monday and I swear my boss punishes me for being gone! You'd think I was gone for a week....and on top of it, I am getting new carpet in my office so I had to pack everything up yesterday afternoon and was computerless! Now, I am in someone elses office for the next couple days...so at least I have MWO!!!

Glad the move and unpacking are going well, NE. Are you feeling more comfortable in "your" new HOME???? How are Ed and Goose adjusting?

I am going to cross threads here, and sorry, but I did a lot of catch up reading yesterday and can't quite remember where I saw what, so...

Stuck, how goes it on the home front? Almost over, right? Space, you are sounding better...and if the couple lagers help and are an alternate to disappearing for 16 hours with a bottle of vodka, I'd go with the lagers! Windy, are you packing and getting ready for the move? Reg, loved the song! Red, feeling better? M, you can be our official Brit to American translator!! Sorry if I forgot anyone!

I think this was on Space's thread, about filling up the time since we are not drinking, and that has become quite a qunundrum for me. It is the same thing, I don't want to go bac to that, but it just seems wrong not to be drinking. As sick as that sounds, it has been the norm for so long. At least when I was drinking, I had a reason for being tired and feeling like shit! Now, over a month sober and I am still always tired and basically feel like shit! I wake up feeling good, as opposed to hung over, but thruout the day, I just drag! I know it will take time for my body to catch up with my actions...just frustrating at this point. I want that instant gratification, darn it and I want it now!!

Patience has never been my strong suit! :H So, I will just keep doing what I have been doing, and hope it all gets better for all of us! :l

Hope everyone has a great day!! XO
