    AF Daily - Thursday March 11th

    Hi guys!

    Hope you don't mind but it didn't look like anyone was starting todays thread.

    Busy day at work but just checking in - how is everyone?

    gawd I wish this week would end - it seems like it is just one of those forever weeks, you know!

    Have a good one guys.

    Hello friends. Uni, it is so great to see you back here.

    Just checking in with the western Nebraska weather report: :yuk: It continues to snow, it is cold, and the wind is suppose to blow. Someone mentioned our first snow was October 1oth--that means 6 months of winter! No wonder I am ready for spring. I need sunshine, my body needs re-energized!

    At least I'm sober, smoke-free and hangover free! That is the main thing.

    Have a good day all! :h

      LVT25, sounds just awful! I'm in KC, MO - at least we've had spring like temps here the last few days. We have rain now & the temps are dropping, but nothing like you have. I feel for you - I know how depressed I was getting with it all here. Don't worry - you should see the sun soon - what a difference it will make - you'll feel all shiny & new! It's very dreary & rainy here - all I want to do is make soup & eat crusty bread with LOTS OF BUTTER! (could be why I'm not model thin . . . ) Anyway, have to run & get some work done. Uni - I know what you mean about this week - it has seemed a bit long to me too, but I figured it was because this sobriety thing is relatively new to me & I'm still adjusting. You all have a wonderful day today!

          ok by the way-thanks for filling me in on kansas city, love to visit one day. Brand new office last night. Funny does not even begin to describe. my belly ached.
          Dove is the sweetest of our daughters I hope 13 is special. I hope she is not as f****d up as me at that age. The tragedy of parenting. The mirror of our pain.
          I am blessed with love joy and sobriety.

            afternoon abbers!

            Shame I missed office. I ended up watching clean and sober. It was depressing to me.

            The freezer I hoped to sell didn't work out. I guess it's good that I expect the best from people and am suprised when that isn't what happens. I could not imagine calling someone and telling them I was coming over/ for sure buying something/ would call later, etc. and not doing so. Or at least calling and saying I changed my mind or something. I suppose people think it's OK since I'm a stranger; or maybe that's the way they operate.

            I have a friend coming over tomorrow to help me get FH stuff out of the attic. I wonder if I should have beer here for him? I plan on lunch. He knows I quit. What do you think?

            funnygirl - it's soup and crusty bread, LOL, because it's rainy and chilly.

            HAve a thrilling thursday!

              Greenie - no beer for him . . .act like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld! why should you? (unless you really want to . . .)

              LVT25 - they mentioned the word "SNOW" on the mid day weather today . . . .ARRGGHHHHHH . . . . .now I KNOW the crusty bread thing is going to happen . . . .it's probably going to just be flurries but I definitely have a license to do it now in full pout mode . . .

              Raven, you'd like KC, and I like candy too . . .

              Oh well, back to work . . just thought I'd take a break on this cold dreary day & see what was up.

                Good afternoon Ab Fabbers,

                Hi Uni, thanks for starting us today & good to see you

                More snow LVT? Ugh, we're waiting for 3 days of rain to start any minute - bad enough but it should wash away the last of our snow.



                Funny Girl, making soup & loaves of crusty bread has kept me pretty busy all winter

                What's your favorite candy Raven?
                I'll bet your daughter is impressed with the changes you've made in your life. You can be a great role model for her!

                Greenie, will there ever be an end to your FH's stuff in the house???? Sorry you are still struggling with all that - it must be a giant pain in the a$$!

                I'm getting ready for my annual trek to Atlantic City, NJ for the embroidery tradeshow. It's great to get out & see what's new & exciting out there in the world. And it's fun to end the day with a stop in the Borgata Casino, spin the slots for a bit then pig out at their yummy dinner buffet - YUM! Can't wait

                Wishing everyone a terrific AF Thursday!

                  Hi kitty kats,

                  Well, after months and months and months of trying to pluck up courage... I FINALLY managed to ask out a woman I like at the gym today. She's single (I didn't know whether or not she was so that made me even more nervous), she took my number and now I just hope she calls!

                  OMG. Can't believe I managed to do it! inkele: :crazymonkey: :yougo: :alf: :shocked: :nutso:

                  Greenie - THIS was the gamble! On the way to paying off! Oh, and NO on the beer. Not "necessary" at lunchtime. You could buy him a bottle to take away with him as a thank you maybe?

                  Lav - I'd LOVE to go to Atlantic City. I've taught myself how to play poker online and need to unleash myself on a casino!

                    Good going, Marshy!!

                    As it happens, I went up to a guy at an event last night, had a long conversation and really nice evening ending in kisses and cuddles (and some suggestive texts I felt iffy about). But today he's backtracked, saying he shouldn't have done it as he's been dating someone for the past month. Unfortunately my dating success only lasted about 12 hours :H But that's not the point. I put myself out there, got some nice compliments, and that hasn't happened in YEARS!!!

                    Here's to everybody going after their goals **raising her glass of mountain spring water**

                      Hi AbFabulous People!

                      Uni, thank you for kicking things off for us today. I guess I am the odd duck as this week is going by way to fast for me! Lots of irons in the fire. It's good though. I'm sort of pinching myself with disbelief that I'm not all crazy stressed out or anything. Just taking it as it comes.

                      Marshy and Pamina!! YEAH!!! :yougo: YOU GO GIRLS!!! No matter what ends up happening with these particular opportunities, it is just so wonderful that you are opening yourselves up to new dating relationship possibilities. That must be so challenging.

                      We are among the early spring crowd weather wise this week. Which meant a couple of trips to the mall where springy clothes were calling my name. I am finding that my tastes keep changing. I'm guessing AFness and still searching for The Real Me has something to do with it. Or maybe Mary Kay. But for whatever reason, I'm into a skirt groove. So of course that requires different shoes. And on it goes. I need a bigger closet. I guess that beats needing a bigger liquor cabinet.

                      My hairdresser has the coolest handbag. It's hot pink. It's a Channel knock off that she got on-line for $60. I think I'm going to google.

                      Greenie - if I were providing lunch for the friend, no beer. If he's a normie, he won't even think about it one way or the other. And if he's not really a normie...oh well. :b&d:

                      I'm going to have to watch The Office sometime.

                      Have an AbFab evening!

                        OK I was a bad girl and did buy beer - I'll give it to him on his way out the door. I have come down from the attic doing some preliminary stuff. I could drink the whole six pack. I remember not long ago my AF mojo was flyin' high and I said in a post I would never ever let anything take that away from me. And I'll just think of how it will to feel to literally not have that stuff hanging over my head.

                        Yay marshy!!! Good on ya for stepping up! I'm going to have to put out the "available" vibes and maybe something nice will happen. Pamina, I would love to be flirted with. What happened with the flatmate guy? I think I'd faint over a kiss. :H

                              Ah dear, bit too wired to sleep now!

                              Greenie & Chill, I think us singletons need to take dating lessons from Pamina - straight in there with the snogging and texting! In one evening too! It's taken me MONTHS to speak. Haha. Good on you Pamina!
                              Greenie, polish up that mojo! You know you're worth it.

                              DG - I sense that you definitely deserve
                              that hot pink bag.

                              Hmm, 1am. Better try to get some kip.
