Good morning peeps,

And welcome to Choice! I love Sundays. I'm going to start the day by having some muffins I made yesterday filled with all yummy goodness like flax, oatmeal, wheat germ, fresh cranberries and some dark chocolate chips... and a nice strong coffee, or maybe 3-4. The snow is gently falling outside, and it's really just beautiful here today. And the best part is that last night there was no midnight vomit. Yah! That's great because I stayed up too late watching episodes I have on DVD of True Blood.

I think today I may make a Jumbalaya or something along that line for dinner, I'm not too sure yet, but it's definetely a foodie kind of day.

Have a relaxing Sunday everyone and enjoy the day!

Hi Daylight,

I am completely addicted to True Blood, I love the show! I can't wait to see the new season either. So exciting! It doesn't start to June! Why are they so mean to make us wait so long?
Drinking and Ice do not go along well at all, I remember so many episodes of falling into snowbanks or slipping and sliding on my ass after work dinner parties with clients. Fun times. Good to see you back running again, that must feel great!

Good morning guys!

BB - Muffins and coffee sound great! No snow here in Florida but it is chilly. I miss the snow some days I have to admit.

Anyway, up bright and early starting day 13!! So happy to be hangover free as it was an early morning - I agreed to watch my newphew (he's 6) overnight so my sister could go out for the evening. Actually, I suggested it -- guaranteed AF on a Saturday night!

I'm now off to make coffee .... and maybe some muffins!

Oh, I really liked Florida. I've only ever been to Orlando though and I stayed at this beautiful Italian villa resort, it was really nice. I've wanted to see Pensicola, I wonder how it's been since the BP spill?

What kind of muffins are on the menu?

Hi guys,

I'm here safe in sound in Florida as well (LOL - seems to be the trend on the thread today). Weather is beautiful, neice is amazing. I feel bad for my BIL as he is having a hard time with his mom's death and all the crappy aftermath. But I am glad I am here to help.

I am off to make some soup and tidy up the house. Then off to the park with the little one this afternoon.

Take care everyone!

Morning fabbies!

Jambalaya.... mmmmmm..... Seems like we do love our food on this thread.

We've got some ick weather forecast for tonight & the next couple days. In the south, if there is a hint of snow the people clean out the stores of bread & milk. I put gas in the car so I'm good.

Uni, did the BIL's mother die suddenly? What's crappy aftermath? I hope you are enjoying the weather and remaining peaceful regardless of what emotions are flying around.

Paperwork and chores today.... same as every day it seems. But one thing's for sure!

Hello!

BB - the BP spill never made it to most of the Florida Panhandle luckily. The beaches are still beautiful! I made blueberry muffins with some flaxseed for health (have to keep trying, right?) They were yummy!
Uni - I'm sure it's warmer than Canada where you are, but it's still a bit chilly out for those of us who live here!
Choice - good work on finding a great Yoga teacher! I'm still hunting around.
Green - I agree - people go into full fledged panic at the idea of any weather here! It's hilarious. And forget it if there's a hurricane warning!!

Have a great day all.

Morning all, it's snowing like crazy here in Dallas, TX and yes the people are freaks when it snows or even rains for that matter. Today we are making beef stew and brownies and sausage biscuits to wrap up for breakfast for the week. It is a foodie kinda day BB. Well I hope everyone has a great AF day. . .day number 20 for me. Tomorrow 3 weeks! So proud of me!

Jenny, good for you! Keep going girl

Everyone cooked today - I did'nt :H
I have a big pot of soup in the fridge that's keeping me going today.

I did get lots of little things done today, so that's good.

I'm watching CNN Greenie.......the weather situation down your way doesn't look good.
Stay inside & safe!

I think the storm will get here Tuesday/Wednesday. UGH!

Have a good night all.

Hi everyone!!

Had a great time at the party last nite. Wish I could have stayed longer!!
Went back this morning for breakfast and to visit a bit more with my bro, SIL and nephew. A little disconcerted that my eldest nephew (18) was hungover this morning and my sister and BIL weren't at all surprised. That means they condoned drinking in the basement last nite. At least I know he didn't drive anywhere in the snow. I texted him when I got home and told him it was pretty slippery out there and I hoped they were in for the nite. He texted back and said yes.

Spent the rest of the day doing some major cleaning and laundry and getting rid of things on freecycle. 2 big items are spoken for but so far no takers for the little things.

Uni-what you are doing for your sister and BIL is priceless. You should be very proud of yourself that you are able to be there for them fully present and sober. :goodjob:

Gia and daylight-ice is how I broke one wrist (and I was sober) so I am deathly afraid of it now. I have 2 pairs of yak tracks so I am always prepared!! Gia-did you say little Gia was feeling better today? I hope so!! Your muffins sounds out of this world! I had plain old pancakes but I pretended they were your muffins (the left over choco chip cookies helped!!)

Jenny-way to go girl!! Keep up the good work!

Greenie - glad your little car will be snug and warm throughout the storm. My next house WILL have a garage!!

Lav-I'm getting really scared about this storm this week. I have so much to do at work and it's so frustrating trying to work from home now adays that I just can't afford to not go in but as i get older, I get more scared of driving in the bad weather, even with my new AWD car. Sigh. maybe they'll be wrong!!

AFM, Mylife, choice, pride hope you all had a good day!

Calling Marshy, Chief, IJM, M3, Gaia, and anyone else MIA!! Please check in!!

Off to figure out what to eat for dinner. Someone had parsnip soup on another thread. Wonder what that tastes like? Does Campbells make it? :H

Howdy Abbers!

Things went well yesterday with lady in regards to the contract. I am starting tomorrow. It is for HR work/staffing issues for the Health Authority here. I was working at the hospital until December (I could have went back there to work, but was looking forward to school, etc...... and so it goes.....). So, seeing I had great references from there, I think it helped me.

This will work out for me WAY better. Most of the work can be done at home by logging onto their portal. Which is super, because I was a shift worker at the hospital and had to worry about daycare... So, I can spend time with Little AFM, and still make money! Sweet! Plus it pays more. So, for now the contract is until January 2012. Then it can be renewed. It's a big job - but hey, I am up for it. I will be in training all this coming week.

We had a dusting of snow when I woke up this morning. It was so pretty. Already gone - which is the perfect type of snow for me! I managed to get my whole townhouse cleaned and organized this weekend. It feels so wonderful to start the work week off with everything done.

Other than that, just finished a BIG spaghetti dinner, kid is about to get in the bath and then beddy bye to watch some boob-tube.

I hope you all had a great AF weekend! Until tomorrow!
