Rusty, did you ever get in to chat? Papmom finally got in by switching from one browser to another. I think she switched to Safari.

Good morning everyone

Our struggle to be perfect at every stage of life is a common element of the human
conditions. What comes with age and wisdom is acceptance of our imperfections.
--Karen Casey & Martha Vanceburg

Belated Happy Birthday Lav. Did not get near the computer yesterday so missed out on what was going on. Not very computer literate so probably would not have managed live chat but what a nice idea.

We are going through a huge freeze here at the moment. It was -13 in places last night. This half of the country has not gotten the heavy snow yet but more forecast. We had it two weeks ago so at this stage I wish it would stay away.

This is going to be a busy week but hope it is a good one for everyone.

Morning Rustop, and greeting's everyone,

Happy birthday again Lav! x
I was in chat myself a few hours ago, the groover and social butterfly that i am. Bumped into Chilli and Papmom. I don't go there often, but it's another world isn't it? Quite a few folk's there who i don't see on the board's. The craic was 98!

Have a great week everyone!

Good morning guys

Was good to see you in chat Mr G, I used to be a regular but haven't used it in bout 6 months but think I will drop in more regularly, it was fun.

I think today will be my last day of work before Christmas and then I'm going to have to get back into the gym which I have been neglecting, way too much crap being eaten! I'm going to work on a new healthier plan for 2011.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone, no extreme weather here, it's 57f with some showers.

December Determination ~ Week 3

Marvelous Monday, I am only saying that as I work three days this week. I have to go in early to get extra work done, but it will be worth it.

Lav, Happy Birthday!!! Sounds like your day went well, keep on being good to yourself!

Paguy, I am Czechoslovak, and just spent last Saturday teaching my daughter to make walnut roll!! I would love to have your stuffed cabbage recipe, please post it if you get a chance. Those Eastern Europeans know how to cook!! I also had Polish relatives, who made Kolachi and other pastries. Yum.

Here is my grandmother's Stewed Chicken Recipe:

One chopped onion
Chicken pieces (whatever you prefer)
One large can diced tomatoes
Paprika

Spray oil in bottom of pan. Brown onions and chicken with paprika. Lots of it. Add can of tomatoes and water. Simmer for about 45 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes.

Chill, so glad you had a nice dinner out. It was interesting to read your final alcohol fueled Christmas. I think we all moved toward isolating more and more with our drinking as time went on. Looking back, it is so self-defeating. I agree with having to work out more, I have been eating badly, due to lots of special Christmas foods and specialty items. Ha! However, no alcohol at all. If guests want some, they can buy it themselves. I want this Christmas to be AF, so my house will be AF on my end.

Rustop, it is true, the older I get, the more I realize that perfection is just not practical. I can accept and tolerate much more. As long as I am AF, let me add.

Sooty, I think you were the source last year of the carrot/parsnip soup recipe, that I made today. It was absolutely delicious, thanks again.

I am so grateful today, for this thread and the ability to check in and be mindful of the importance of staying AF. I was reading some threads from MWO people who are struggling, and my heart goes out to them. This journey is not easy, but feeling good everyday, being clearheaded, is a goal worth reaching. :h

Have a magical, marvelous Monday, AF.
