    AF Daily - April 16, 2009

    Good Day Ab-Landers!

    Yesterday I grumped around and wasted a lot of time (stupidly) because I had to go to an evening business thing. I like my evenings hope to myself but I've got to find a way to stop letting the least disruption to what *I* want ruin my own day. How stupid is that? The function was at a small art gallery / studio in the old downtown area of my town. All the various artists were there with there little studios open so you could see their "work in progress" in addition to their finished stuff for sale. It was amazing - I had no idea that was even there about 5 minutes from my house! One woman who makes jewelry is starting up a jewelry class on Fridays that I might try to go to. Her stuff is really pretty and I'd LOVE to learn how to make even a simplistic version of the kind of jewelry she makes. She also uses jewelry making tools and supplies to decorate serving spoons and glasses and things like that - they look awesome. So who knows - maybe a new hobby is born. And to think I ruined my own day over it! This really is so much more about a "thinking" problem than a "drinking" problem sometimes. I was not even tempted to drink - not even a little bit. I'm thankful for that progress!

    Yes Mary, and attitude of gratitude is SO much better. Makes for a better day not only for those around me, but for ME TOO!!

    Hello Tiny and That Girl! Good to see you both yesterday.

    Deter you are right - Al has no power as long as we leave him corked up in the bottle. Like "Genie" only with fangs and horns.

    Well, I "slept in" until 5:30 this morning. :egad: I had hoped to already be done at Curves, but I'm getting a late start. That's OK. It's going to be a gorgeous day here - in the 60's and sunny! I will be found in my garden planting the little plants I bought (brocolli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, onions) and a bunch of seeds (leaf lettuces, spinach, beets, turnips, carrots, some flowers, and I'm probably missing some). Whatever I don't get done today will hopefully get done tomorrow as it is supposed to be nice both days! YEAH!!

    Have a wonderful day everyone and enjoy your AF-ness!

    Morning all!
    DG -- Last night's revelation sounds pretty nifty. It's amazing what kind of roadblocks our minds can chuck at us...and yet, so many opportunities lie beyond and within reach. Your day in the garden sounds wonderful! It's going to be beautiful here today, as well. I've decided on an impromptu day off from work and plan to troll around in the sunshine all day. Have a good one, everyone! :h

      Hi DG: I'm doing well & looking forward to going to a meeting tonight. I miss them when I don't get to go. Yesterday's daily thread was great. It's wonderful to see people making progress on the abs. Mary

        Morning abbers!!

        I have had a thinking problem lately. I seem to have let myself get caught up in estranged one's doings. I've got to get on the track of acknowledging those thoughts, feelings and releasing them into the wind. At least I'm not having drinking thoughts along with them.

        My first hummingbird today!

        Today is 10 months! Peppermint ice cream on the agenda!

        Have a good day!

              Good Morning everyone! Happy Thursday. I joined a gym (well now I belong to 2) this week, that has a program called "Summer Shape Up". I have 10-15 pounds that Al gave me (isn't he sweet) that refuses to leave, so I joined. Let me just say, they should call this "Summer Boot Camp". I haven't worked this hard in years! The trainers are all about 25yrs old (sweet as can be) but drill sargents none the less!

              I have attended for the last 2 days, tonight my body needs a rest. I can hardly move! Let me just say, this has been a wonderful AL deterent. By the time I get home from the gym, I can hardly move and just flop on the couch for a bit of TV and off to bed.

              And your right DG...life is out there just waiting to be discovered once we remove the alcohol haze from our rose colored glasses. That art class sounds like so much fun. I want to actually take tennis lessons this summer. Once I lose this extra bit of weight I will feel so much more like doing it.

              Everyone sounds great...keep up the good work.

              R2C

              Greenie...congrats on 10 months...now we just gotta work on getting you out of the "hole"...I'm sure life will be that much better once you do.

                Greenie - congrats on 10 months ..... you should have some sprinkles on that double ice cream - insirping!! I hit 30 days AF today and feeling pretty good about myself. I promised myself some new golf shoes at 30 days, so I'm off to the golf shop - woo hoo.
                Everyone sounds good today ..... spring is here!!

                    Greenie, congrats on 10 months! Funny, as you go along in your sobriety and with each milestone; I end up craving peppermint ice cream now with you! So have a big spoonful for me sista!

                    Nothing much for me to say. Little AFM has completely recovered - knock on wood. I hope this is the LAST illness for this year!!

                    I have a bunch of running around to do this morning. Be well everyone!

                      Good morning friends.

                      Everyone sounds wonderful. :goodjob: Greenie. You've come a long way, huh?!
                      R2C--good to see you. And everyone else of course!

                      A depressing day yesterday--too damn many taxes coming in our future. What the federal government will do is bad enough, but there was some scandal in our county assessor's office--some citizens were not getting taxed what they should have been, and guess who gets to make up the difference??!! Our ag land taxes will be going up 61%. Hubby and I were discussing where we would like to move to. Wyoming would be closer, Texas or Missouri would be nice. It is getting really discouraging!

                      Now that I have that off my chest, I better go earn some more $ for the government!

                      Have a great day--hoping for rain here! :h

                          Happy AF Thursday ABerooooos!

                          not much time, but

                          Huge congrats to Greeneyes for the fabulous 10 months! Peppermint icecream ahoy!

                          Cindi, relieved to hear your arm is healing up. try not to get into any cage fights for another month ok?

                          LVT, buckle down, the tax situation in the US is going to hell in a handbasket shortly. I'm thinking of building a rocketship....anyone with me? we need our own AF planet anyway.

                          I'm off to peel some garlic for breakfast.

                          be well everyone!

                              Greenie, way to go! 3 months is great. Today is my 2 month birthday- it seems like 2 years since I have drank- don't know why that is.
                              I am happy to be sober that is for sure.
                              LVT- join the club- our taxes up here are pretty high- I was doing them this morning, oh joy o bliss.

                              It is a beautiful day here today. I will be going for a walk with my dawg soon.

                              Cindi- hope you feel better soon. Mary- you will have 3 months in no time! What are you making Deter? Not just garlic I am thinking.
