Hi Fabbie Abbies and happy Saturday. I will never fully understand the male species, but will just be grateful that life in the Doggy House is getting back to normal. _______ is an amazing tool. If you haven't gone back to read the tail end of yesterdays thread, please do so. P3 made an award winning post that is a "must read" in addition to seeing the video of her amazing agility trial!

I am also looking for anyone who has had lasik eye surgery to tell me about your experience and any words of wisdom.

My refrigerator overfloweth with cucumbers (and zukes too, but that's another story!). My Mrs. Wage's pickle mixes arrived yesterday. So guess what is on the agenda this weekend? If I'm smart, I will kick off my veggie management by slicing up those zukes and sticking them in the dehydrator.

I totally love how fast I can get ready to greet the world in the AM!!! Amazing!!! I heart my short hair. Can't believe I had so much time for reading and posting here AND still have time for breakfast before I go to AA! Then I'm going to Curves then to the farmers market mainly for fruit and then tackling my home grown veggies. I'm grateful to be sober and unhung today!

One thing is for sure....... there will be no drinking AL for THIS Doggygirl today.

I hope life is improving on all fronts for everyone As The AF Daily Turns.

Hi friends,

Not much to add except that today we are taking ALL the grandchildren to breakfast at Hardees and we are going to see Eclipse.

Life doesn't get much better than that, does it?

I have short hair, too, DG. Hubby hated it at first, now he likes it because it is "me."

Men have a difficult time with silly things. Well, we think they are silly, they think it is earth shattering stuff.

Just give the man some time.

I LOVE being able to get ready for work in 15 minutes. It rocks.j

Love,
Cindi

Morning fabbs!

OK, now THAT was a funny post papmom!!!! :H:H Very cool video! Looks like a load of fun for both!

I have something to say about lasik, but since your appearance is such a touchy subject, I think I'd best ________ with mr doggy before discussing it. :H

The bicycles in the kitchen isn't working for me. More clearing out of stuff is called for. I think I will just sell my dad's stuff and get over "all that". THIS will be a MANLY garage sale. Tips for a catchy advert welcome!

DG you can make cucumber soup (adding an avacado is devine!) and it freezes well. Seriously, my siblings and 3 good friends had the eye surgery and have good far vision. Both use reading glasses. I have what you have and I wear contacts. I don't wear them much because I have the coolest pairs of colorful glasses in the universe (being queen and all, you know) Might want second opinion on that if contacts is something you'd like.

FH is at the hole. I assume - he's sure not here. Thanks again for keeping me on that track! I was really wanting to avoid judgement by the sister. I see now that I prefer to avoid judgement in general and it makes me an easy target for manipulation. I think it's time to let that go. That and guilt. ugh!

pamina... what's that with the coworker? BRB. Ahh OK.. good ending to your week!

Uni... I was wondering what happened when you got quiet after just starting the program. Wow.

LVT - "holding out" :H This week you had to take a number to get in line for the :soapbox:

OK, I've got to decide about walking or not. It's already 80F. We got RAIN last night!!!
So I for sure won't ride. I'm tired from yesterday's moving stuff but I may as well "just do it".

Hi cindi & G Everybody have a great AF day!

The figs are falling off the trees. Ya'll were supposed to be here in bathrobes for the figfest! I need to give the preserve-making a go and SOON!

Well, one thing is for sure.........

hey good day all - happy skating weekend so far here for me - eaten 2 bars of yummy chocolate,sushi and fab crisps M&S again!
I'm going to have a lie down before getting ready to go to a gig later.

Had a drag on a ciggie today - forgot and then put it out - gonna skip over that - no more of that.
I dreamt last night that I drank - horrible SO wasn't fun - I'm stocking up on diet 7UP for later.Working so don't want to feel cloudy headed - and we have a bout tomorrow - need to be ship shape for that.

Feeling tired but happy - DG I wear lenses and have astigmatism/long sightedness - you can even get daily disposables now that are toric lenses. My eyesight is too bad and falls out of range for lasik - I'd need replacement lenses fitted into my eyes - ewwww!

Anyway good day all to come - much brighter bear- the coaching session worked wonders.

Hi guys,

It took me a while to share that story with you guys in my other post yesterday. I was scared to and I felt like such an a$$. Which really, lets face it, I am for doing what I did. We are going to try to get the crown to put it to careless driving but still make me take the "back on track course" and the year without my liscence since it is a first offence; I am going for treatment and I sooooo do not want a criminal record. I don't know if that will happen or not though, I blew pretty high. Time will tell.

I am going to an AA meeting tomorrow at the detox centre I was at. They have an inpatient program upstairs so I got to know some of the girls so it's not as scary walking in. If I don't get into the other inpatient program that they are trying to send me to, I have the option to go to this one as well. So either way, by the end of August I will be in a centre somewhere (yeah!). I am so happy about that and so hopeful for the future.

Today is a day of running around all morning and then relaxation this afternoon with the BF, some movies and some hugs. I am going to cook us a nice dinner and we have rented some movies. We will probably have a great cry but I really need the cuddles and the feeling that I am loved so I am looking forward to it.

In detox they gave me a journal so I have started writing down my thoughts at the end of every day. It's a nice way to finalize the day before sleep.

Onward and upward.

Thanks for the support you guys - Love you all.
Uni

Good Morning All,

It's going to be 102 here today. I'm taking the girls to an indoor skating rink because the pool will be just too darn hot. Still feeling out of sorts...don't know why. It is hard for me to get organized enough to get a load of laundry in...and it is overflowing. Perhaps I need the ____ cure that has worked wonders for DG's relationship with Mr. Doggie. Problem is, I have no libido. What to do? Perhaps a CYB?

DG, glad that ______ worked. I knew it would. It's a universal cure-all for men. Perhaps you can buy a long wig and then...

Universal, That was a very close one. When I hear stories such as this, it scares me and I then feel a tremendous relief that no one died as a result. I am happy to hear that you are taking this serious and that this is a sign that enough is enough for you. I wish you all the best in your recovery.

Bear, Stay strong this weekend. I would look at the accidental drag on the cigarette as a sign of caution. It sounds like you may be faced with situations where your resolve to remain AF may be compromised. Do you have an exit plan?

Greenie, Whenever I think too much about exercising, it doesn't happen. It has to be an automatic thing...get up out of bed, put workout clothes on, walk out the door. Of course, I didn't do that today!

Cinders, Sounds like you have a good day planned. Let me know what you think about Eclipse. My 11 year old wants to see it but I am a bit reluctant. I trust your judgment.

Hi Guitarista. What are you up to this weekend?

Good morning everyone! Day 6 AF here. Still feeling good. I loved your soap opera Papamom! There were some funny things going on! And also loved the video. I also thought you looked good in the video. I don't think I could run that long without being terribly out of breath. Looks like a Shetland Sheepdog, am I right? Glad everyone is working out their problems. DG, Mr. Doggy, after the ________, is probably saying, Hmmm.....this short hair isn't so bad after all! Universal, sorry you had a slip but don't give up.This is not an easy thing to beat as you well know. Greenie, sorry I didn't make the fig fest. I love those things! Have a happy day everyone. Trying to decide what movie I'd like to see with my BF tonight. (PS: No further TP thefts here!)
Love,
Auntie

OK... hush up about _____already!! :upset:

[Doggygirl]

AF Daily - Saturday July 24

OK. Life is unfair. With respect to _____, me and M3 have Mr.'s but no libido. Greenie has libido, but no Mr. :upset: I thought about asking G for manly input on this problem, but thought better of it. :H

Zukes in the dehydrator - CHECK. (with sea salt and garlic this time!)
Cukes sliced and in their ice water baths until tomorrow - CHECK.
Brunch of scrambled egg/egg white with zukes, onions and tomatoes - CHECK. (and ketchup!)
Farmers Market is next. If there are still blueberries I'm going to get some for the jamarama. Would do those this afternoon since pickles are tomorrow. I also need to keep that dehydrator going non stop on the zukes! Greenie, cuke soup is a good idea. I will find a recipe and then probably be back with questions! Wow. All that just for the food in my life.

Hi G! Hope you are having a magical day.

Cindi, it is encouraging that some Mr's do come to like short hair with time. I shall keep my hope alive! Have fun today with all the G-kids!

Greenie - how 'bout this for an advert? "Your wife is HOT!" Come to my garage sale and buy some tools to fix your air conditioner! (stolen from a billboard) I'm glad you are not nursing FH nor falling for any manipulations. That is something I have to work on too. Without AL messing us up, it IS possible to make these changes - many of which reduce stress in our lives. And footprints on our backs.

Bear, :b&d: but at least it was only one puff! Those dreams are freaky but at least in my case, they went away with time.

Uni, it's good to have you back here! Cuddles and movies sounds like such a good plan! Good that you can hit some meetings with some familiar faces until your treatment program is firmed up. Good for you.

M3 - 102??? Geez. Have we died and gone to hell this summer????? The ice rink sounds like a fabulous idea!

Wow. Auntie and Mr. are having a movie night too. Hmmm....sounding better all the time! Glad there have been no more mysterious TP disappearances.

Hoping Marshy is having good weather and good fun on that hike, and that the socks are holding up.

Unfortunately, contacts don't work for me. :upset: The only ones available for the correction I need don't do good enough correction on my close up sight, and actually make my distance vision (which requires only a little correction) worse. (I tried them for 2 weeks) I think I will go for a consult and take it from there. Won't know if it's an option for me unless I go find out, so that's what I'm gonna do!

OK. Off to the farmers market. Where is P3? I hope not locked out of her house again.

Only 4 vendors at the Farmers Market today as it was storming bad earlier. 2 veggie guys and a baker and the cheese guy. None of the Michigan fruit guys - the guys I mainly wanted to see. The baker was selling everything 2 for 1. That was like "happy hour" for me and my sweet tooth. :upset: but yummy.

Now I'm goofing off and might take a nap soon since no jamarama today. Should be catching up on working and cleaning up this pig stye of an office but of course, not goin' THERE.

Greetings Abbers!

DG, I don't think I even remember what _______ is!!!!!
Obviously, it's been a very, very long time & I don't take full blame for that...........

My EB grandson slept 12 hrs last night & is napping now
He uses a LOT of energy when he's up & running!
God, I hope I can keep up with him until Tuesday evening

Have a great AF day one & all.
