Happy July 4th everyone!
Day 4 is here and YOU are here, and that is a beautiful thing!
Nancy thank you for reminding us not to take our freedom for granted, you're so right! Glad to hear your son is home safe. You are one strong Southern Belle! Good goin yesterday sticking to sweet tea!
Now I realize this is a big drinking day for some, but lets be real, people who need an occaision to drink are amateurs! :lol But yes, holidays are hard, and can be a punch in the stomach if you're not armed. So, what are you all doing today to combat a potential drink-attack? Hah! That bastard can't fight through your determination, and he'll only have a chance if he gets through the L-glut first! :lol So use whatever you need to, to get through today with your new future intact. Leave that bastard bloody on the floor with no remorse if need be!! I'm sorry, but that's how I feel about the crack-head that lives in my brain!! :lol
Holidays and their rituals, attending parties, and promises of a good ol time, yep, all very enticing. But don't forget that you can have an even better time without drinking, because for one thing, you don't have to worry ABOUT your drinking today, and all the nasty results that inevitably & literally eat us alive. So have a great time if you're doing anything special, as for me, I'm planning a most excellent smorgasbord of housework, laundry, pet-care...what else... um, gosh, just too many wonderful activities to name! :rolleyes I will watch the fireworks from my roof though, and for once I'll see one set of fireworks instead of seeing the double version of years past. Ah, but I wax sentimental... actually it wasn't all it was "cracked" up to be! :lol
So good to have all our Newbies and Returnies here in Absville! (Who said that? I love it - the opposite of wasting away again in Margueritaville!)
So many great posts yesterday! So little time to respond like I want to! My thoughts are with you all... hang in there!
