lav, i love the sound of horses running! there are alot of kids who ride bareback on the reservation here...it's so amazing! i'm glad you didn't hear a thud of any kind or see anyone rolling around in the ditch!.

thanks papmom! i'm trying not to worry!

i was on the treadmill this evening and had a big feeling of fear about thanksgiving and drinking. my family doesn't really drink, but i felt like i was going to drink for some reason...i'll be vigilant and take my kudzu and tell my family that i am having the feelings. they are so supportive, so i'm not too worried. also there won't be any alcohol at my sister's, so the only way i could drink is to buy some, and i'm not going to do that!

have a good night all!

Peaceful!! It's peaceful.... peaceful is good!

I meant to comment that as I sat there on the shoulder of the interstate I was grateful to be just plain sober and as a result, calm. My cooler contained a PB&J sandwich, tangerine and water bottle. It was a peaceful cooler.

This was part of my note from the universe...
I think we should name something after you, Greenie... how do you feel about black holes?


LMAO!! If you don't know what the black hole was, that's how I referred to my office when I made such a wreck of it in my "former" life.

hidy ho ABeroooos from John Wayne Int airport. just had a lovely 17.00 cheeseburger that was cooked to the point where it had reached the surface hardness of tungsten.

my boothmates at the tradeshow this morning were soooo hung over. oh boy, don't miss that crap. I was chipper and happy and had a productive day.

Peace, please do something to bolster your spirit, you have every reason to have a fabulous loving AF Thanksgiving. I'll be thinking of you sending some garlic-flavored strength.

one of my coworkers asked me last night why I wasn't drinking the last several times we've been together and I simply said I didn't like how it made me feel, and that often when I used to drink it would send me to an awful dark place. he nodded in agreement and that was that. I'm still not comfortable with the word alcoholic in public places because of this ignorant and persistent stigma. someday we'll be viewed with the same aplomb as reformed smokers.

be well

Need coffee....

Det, I am very much looking forward to where you are at with just being completely comfortable with your non-drinking. I've been doing it so long that it's going to seem odd for people when I decline and I know there will be a few questions, but I'll get through it.

Peace, I'm with you on the just not buying it. I just can't do it.

Greenie, I can't remember the last time I had a PB&J sandwich! I think I'm going to have one today. I didn't have my date. I rescheduled. The snow was coming and I just don't have my snow tires on my car yet so I wasn't risking it..I can go out again. If he doesn't wait well then that's fine too. You can come for dinner anytime!

Lav, I wish a stray horse would just run by me and straight up into my yard! We're big horse people in this house.

LVT, how was the Thanksgiving dinner? I have to say I love turkey dinners, but I really love the next day as well. And I would love a hot turkey or hot chicken sandwich today with stuffing inside..yummy. I made a homemade pasta chicken soup yesterday and it was sooooo good. Man I love to cook and eat.

AFM, I am hoping to have your jammie today! I've got them all ready to go..clean ones to wear for all day! lol

Choochie, I think people are suprised when you tell them they don't drink, and some people you can tell actually wish they didn't either...they get that look that comes over their face.. I know it, because I've had it quite a few times.

Pap, Alcoholics have it worse because AL changes our behaviour, people get drunk and get behind the wheel and others can get hurt..that doesn't happen with smokers. But I think it shouldn't be so hush-hush and under the carpet either when someone gives it up like smoking..will it ever change? I hope. Maybe if it did more people wouldn't be inclined to hide it so much and it wouldn't drag treatment out that much longer. Just my 2 cents.

Marshy, I missed the post about the lump..but I am very happy to hear that it turned out to be nothing. I am going through a problem myself and they haven't found what's wrong yet, I need more testing and probing and being evasive. I'm waiting for another specialists appointment. The fun never stops.

IJM, what did you get for steaks and how did you cook them? I am a HUGE steak fan!! And good for you on the working out buddy! Woohoo! Still going the 30 with you..

Now where the hell is that coffee of mine??
