JACKRABBIT!!!


Yo Butterballs!

I will have no sugar today. Knowingly. I am going to another art show opening reception this evening called "Car Faces and Truck Butts" but I won't eat the obvious sources. I feel last night's binge this AM.:yuk: Truthfully, I am a potato chips sort of person, so I will nick that too. October is a good time to strengthen the pre-holiday season resolve. The queen has spoken.

Off to the river to meet a friend this AM, then job search work, then book sale at library, then gallery, then maybe....musical entertainment of some sort - the blues festival starts today and there a a couple other choices.

And one thing is for sure.....

Start of another month! Another month of all zero's behind me. Yeah!

Papmom congratulations on the weight loss. 6.5 lbs is great! And it sounds like you have a plan for dinners now, and great to hear about the therapist. I wish I had a good one.

DG and M3 on remodeling - don't know how you get through it. UPheaval. But I bet the outcome will be worth the effort.

Hi Lav, Det, Pam, Hipster, Marshy, Greenie, Rebirth (not to leave anyone out).

October, hooray! I like October, even though it's very wet and windy this morning. Heading off to work for a late start and a late finish, then I'm off until next Wednesday. Can't argue with that.

Oh dear, I've already had sugar today. Oops. But no ice-cream - and no ice-cream in the freezer (because I finished it last night).

Greenie - how did little doggie take the news that you don't want to date?

Gaia - good going on another months of 00000000s.

Have a good day all!

Hi,
While taking out the trash this morning, a thought came to me.

I feel anger towards DH. And I realized one of the reasons. Through my struggles with AL, it never seemed as if he cared about my well-being or health. He only cared about how my actions affected him.

I know it is a survival instinct to put oneself first, so maybe this is normal and how it should be?

I guess I would feel loved or at least cared for if he had thought about what's best for ME, not just what he wants.

Sigh,
T.

Good morning all,

Hey Gaia. have you spoken to him about how you feel? He may be having difficulty dealing with the new you? My Bf admitted that he sometimes missed the drunk me because I turned into a party animal etc. Tough I say. I wasnt happy then.

No sugar so far..

GM Abbers!

Happy October, a fav month for me too. Although, I don't know what to do (if anything) about YB's birthday on the 4th!

Greenie, you didn't have the effects of the tropical storm yesterday??? I had no power for 10 hours - annoying. Sounds like you have a great day ahead, enjoy

Gaia, I know exactly what you are talking about!!!!!!!
The problem is these spouses of ours still think the world revolves around THEM. Mine is pitiful in his selfishness & is more self centered now than he's ever been...... Hold your head up & focus on what is good for YOU right now :l

Hi Marshy, hope your weather improves today.

Lots of schools closed around here today due to continued power problems, flooded roads, etc. I need to focus on catching up on missed work.
Wishing everyone a fantastic AF Friday.

It really does suck to feel unsupported in your marriage. However, I do feel that the lack of such was a catalyst for progress in my own spiritual growth. And in fostering new friendships that are healthier. While the first statement is still true, gaia, maybe you can use that feeling to direct you towards exploring new avenues for feeling support. :l

Lav we had a kick-arse storm Monday night? with lots of blowing and then a couple days of rain but that's all.

G-bloke did you start that new aspect of your job yet?

Marshy, she said I should be honest about not being interested in a dating realtionship with him. Not being ready to date isn't true ~ at least I don't THINK it is..:H

Hi rebirth & det and all to come. And hipster from yesterday!

"caffeine levels insufficient to support life"

That is funny, Det.

Lav you have the patience of Job.

Headache alert. Brain must have a yeast infection.

hey all - whizzing in and out again today - it's my 4 weeks af tomorrow!Furthest I've got for about a year so am pleased with my progress - but not complacent.
Off for a curry tonight as friend is off travelling and it's his leaving do - am driving so NO CHANCE of drinking for me.

I have a stinking cold too and to be honest would rather be in bed but can't miss this - everyone will be pretty drunk by the time I get there too. Doesn't bother me really not tempted today. Zero temptation to smoke too as I have man flu.

If I wasn't driving I would be thinking twice about going at this early stage.
This way I can come and go as I please - and I NEVER drink and drive.
Eat - say goodbye - and go. Happy Friday everyone.

Lav- Notice to YB/FH: No Birthday Cake for you!!

Marshy-we're having the exact same weather!!

Gaia-I'm so sorry that your hubby is being so selfish. Too bad for him. Concentrate on YOU and what is best for you! He'll need to run to catch up but that is his problem!! And thank you!! I think this new way of eating and thinking about dinner is really going to work. It's like I was given a freedom pass!!

Hey HC-great to see you!! Oh I sure don't envy all that is before you in prep for the move and sale but what a glorious day it will be when you step through the door of your new dream home!! We'd better get pics!!

Hey G and RB!! Have a great day!

Very boring Friday at work. Really getting sick of the repetitive data entry work. Definitely not for me. Sigh. I had to figure this out in this economy and job market????? Well, I did get some shopping done :H. Ordered a really nice handmade butterfly patterned phone case (pink of course!!). The case I'm using now is too narrow for the Evo . I think I might have to learn how to make these-they would sell like crazy to my pap friends!!

Lots of errand after work tonite-storm should be over by then and then work at the RE office tomorrow. Blech.

One thing is for sure tho for this papmom........

P3, that really is a brilliant idea about swapping lunch and dinner!

[Lavande]

AF Daily - Friday 10/1

Let's take a vote -

Screw the birthday cake for YB - yes or no?????
I vote an overwhelming YES :H:H

Nearly 6 pm & I'm still in my shop but I'm catching up - yesterday was too much of a disaster.

Looking forward to my Spinach, Lentil soup with Turkey Kielbasa - yum! Nice & garlickly too

Nice to see the sun after yesterday's weather event.

Just realized that I'm 500 days smoke free today YAY!!

Hi all. Nothing like a leak in the plumbing to get all the eye candy flying back here like flies to honey. :upset:

No birthday cake.

P3, that is a great idea with the switch!

Gaia, I'm sorry to hear he is acting selfish. Don't let his behavior hold you back from your own growth. We talked about that today a bit at Tough Chicks and I'm beginning to believe it is possible to be at odds in opinion, but both handle it like adults. There is hope for me and Mr. Doggy!

Hi to everyone else. I want to find whatever ice cream exists in the house and eat it all. But I'm not gonna do that. I think I have enough points left for a big ol' bowl of popcorn so that's what I'm gonna do.

Oy. I hope we have water back on before the night is over.

One thing is for sure.....
