Good morning AF'ers!

Uni, thanks so much for popping into chat with me last night, it was not the best night for me and I really appreciate being able to talk to you. You put me in a much better frame of mind. Thanks for being a friend. :l

And..we got more snow last night. Atleast it's not as cold as it has been thankfully. Time to get the little Angel Face ready for school, she is very excited. Need coffee..I feel like a zombie.

No problem girl! Sorry that I had to leave, I would have liked to talk longer.

Morning guys!
No more snow here thank god. But it is cold. I have decided that men are complete wimps when they get sick. My BF has a cold - yes it's a crappy cold but oh my god - the world is ending. It is driving me crazy. And he is staying home again today and I can't handle it so I am definitly going out to a meeting this morning.

I wish January would hurry up and end - what a stinky crappy poopy month.

Morning Abbers!

Uni I agree, my hubby has had the flu since Friday and is finally going back to work today! No one else got it but we can been carrying an arsonal for Lysol with us all day everyday. I hope that my son will be a good sick man, he is a good sick kid so maybe it will carry over to adulthood. Honestly though Uni. . . I don't like February much better than January, mid March it starts to get better though.

I just found out my tax return is coming through on Friday for sure so I am excited to get the bills paid up and the cars fixed. I am telling myself I will not drink! I want to have some fun this weekend and not be hungover. . .even after all this time Friday still presents a problem for me. I do have a plan though, I will see my therapist at 4:30, then go to the gym, the go visit my friend in jail. That should keep me busy from 4 till 9 and then the bottle shop is closed and poof the craving is gone!

Have a great day guys, I'll check in later.

Morning fabbies!

Uni & gia...:l Feed your mojo today!

P3, I'm thinking you did well to not leap onto that guy's back and shove his face into the snow.

Last night I kept hearing screaming that didn't fit in my dream so I woke up. Geeez, it was the wind! Coastal weather can be really odd. The glow from lights on the beach roads makes a golden haze that erily contrasts to the black sky over the sound. Then in just a brief moment the lights are snuffed by a dense fog that blankets everything but the glow of nearby streetlights. Then suddenly it lifts, all the while the wind is screeching.
I can watch all that from the bed. Very foggy but not raining this AM.... so...maybe go on the beach but certainly not trails as I have enough trouble staying on them in broad daylight. I'll try to catch that movie tonight if it isn't raining.

Happy Hump day!

X-post jen! Good job on having a plan! Watch for HALT leading up to that trigger time.

Greenie - I get screaming foxes outside. They used to make me wake up in a sweat, but now I'm quite used to it!

Jennyneric - sounds like a good plan to keep you out of trouble on Friday. Distraction, substitution... key things.

Hello Uni & BB.

I met my girlfriend's dad for the first time last night. The three of us went out for dinner. I was a little bit nervous but not too bad and it went pretty well I think. At least now when I meet people I don't have to worry to about making a drunken fool of myself. Not that I ever worried about it, I was too focused on the booze to care .

Have a good day all!

Good mid-day Abbers!

Snowing today - the weather geniuses called for rain - Duh!
Shoveled my way out to the chicken house So I could freshen up their feed & water containers. Plugged in a radio for them to relieve the stress of being cooped up all day. They were listening to Crosby, Stiles & Nash when I left them

BB & Uni - hope you Northern girls are having a better day

Greenie, Marshy - I hear all kinds of strange animal sounds around here at night. Even my dogs look at me like: what the hell was that noise :H

I need to log on to my online class for lesson #3. I'm enjoying it so far, keeps my mind out of resentment territory for the time being.

Have a great AF Wednesday ine & all.

hello all, keeping busy . Have a big assignment to be in by today but yet again ive asked for an extension......one day I will get one in on the due date!
Had a bath this evening and nearly gave myself first degree burns, my God this relaxing stuff is hard on the nerves!! Reminds me of the time I went to a yoga class, paid 160 euro for 10 sessions and only lasted for half a session. She had us lie down on a dirty floor in a boys secondry school, I was imagining all sorts of horrible secretions on that floor and was trying to get us to visuilise I dunno relaxing starting from the tips of our toes to the head, we only reached the calfs before I made my excuses and ran screaming leaving skid marks all the way, yoga nearly caused a nervous breakdown! Think I will try power walking tomorrow....
Anyhow, hope all are well. BB I am delighted you didnt cave. Youve come to far and uni 101 days! One day I hope to get there. And man flu...Jenny, God help you, aint nothing worse than listening to 'em moan. See you all tomorrow.x

Hi Fabbers!!

Deter-how are you feeling? Hope that nasty flu is gone by now!!

Limers-I hear you on the relaxation thing! I try but get so antsy-I can't even watch TV for more than an hour anymore!! I guess that's a good thing tho. I can read for hours so that's good!! You should check out the 21 day meditation challenge from the Chopra Center Chopra Center Meditation.

Greenie-the hawk was back today defending his leftovers from what I believe was a new female adult hawk. It was cool watching them watch each other and watching how the female kept maneuvering closer and closer. I think the original hawk is a juvenile from last year-don't know the sex but guessing a male as the female ended up with the leftovers :H. No more snowball throwing incidences today thank goodness and yes, I think I did well too!!

The snow started around 4pm today just as I was leaving work early as tonite was agility nite. Got the cancellation phone call around 4:10. It was tough getting home. Visibility was bad and the roads were very slick. got home safe and sound tho. Now the wind is howling but there's only a dusting on the ground. Haven't watched the latest yet to see how bad it's going to get.

I want to share something that happened today. I got an email from the people who run the facility where we do agility. It was a group email asking who was interested in doing six more weeks of level 3. Then the next paragraph was addressed to me saying my trainer wanted me to go back to level 3 (I had moved up to level 4 at her request). I was pretty peeved and embarrassed as I had just been demoted in front of my former classmates and my trainer had never told me she thought I would do better back at level 3!! A year ago I would have stewed and whined and bought a couple of bottles on the way home to drown my mortification and hurt feelins. Instead, I shot off a very nice but very firm email to my trainer explaining that I did not feel I had been treated very respectfully etc etc. I got a very nice apologetic email back from her saying she had no idea they were going to tell me in a group email and she was very sorry she hadn't taken the time to tell me herself. She explained that because DD can't do weave poles very well yet I should probably go down a level. But, I can choose whichever level I want. She felt very badly but I felt very proud of myself for taking a stand even tho I wasn't sure how she would react. All i good-We have 2 more classes at this level and then I can make a decision. I think what I'll do is practice very hard the next 2 weeks at home and make sure he has weave poles down by the start of the next session.

Lav-I forgot to tell you that my SIL is thinking seriously of getting some chickens!! That means of course that my bro now has to build her a super coop so the coyotes and fox don't get them!!

Hi fabbies! I've been burning the candle at both ends but have been thinking of you guys a lot so just wanted to pop in and say hi.

I was thinking today back to the early sober days when I felt like I had nothing to do since I wasn't drinking. Holy moly. The sober days have sure filled up. So if anyone is worried about it - have no fear. You will be going bat shit crazy before you know it!!

Life is good. Busy, but good. P3, I'm really happy for you that you stood your ground firmly and professionally. I bet DD will be weavin' his fanny off before the month is out.

Take care everyone! One thing is for sure.... It's great to see Limers here. Oh - and there is another thing for sure...

Papmom - we're dealing with two snow storms!
The first ended around lunch time, later it rained & now it snowing again. I had measured 5" before the rain started. It's a freaking mess out there. My 'friendly' neighbors have plowed my driveway twice so far. Looks like there will be a lot more for them in the morning too.

limers, your yoga experience would have freaked me out too! The Chopra Center 21 day Mediation Challenge is quite nice

I decided to leave the radio on all night for the chicks Greenie. They're listening to WXPN from the University of Pennsylvania (my fav radio station) :H
It's hard being cooped up like that!!!!!

Wishing everyone a cozy evening!
