        Rusty,
        My thoughts on indoor Christmas deco is, leave it up until I can replace it with spring stuff. I do put away the tree, because it is in the way, but several other items I leave out until about March 1. They all make me smile!
        My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

          Good morning everyone

          HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!! Going to celebrate with a long hike on the Wicklow Way so I am up bright and early. Hope to have it done and be back in time to chauffer the girls to whereever they are going. If not hubby can do it as he has no work.

          Rusty - you make me laugh. Great to have you back contributing. Good luck in your Mr. G. chase, hope you catch him. I learned some sign language some years ago as my neighbours are deaf. Unfortunately like everything if you dont use it you loose it.

          Lav - that picture is adorable. You are one lucky lady.

          Cassia - Congrats on the job front. Am sure it will all work out. Interesting about your friend. I guess the best way to lead is by example.

          Everyone else big hello and have a fab day.

            Hey all....

            HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!

            I made it through my day back, it was brutal, and I had a headache all day. Whew, glad that day is over. It always happens to me when I come back from time off, adjustment day. I am making a list and continuing to look for a new job this weekend. I do not like my job. The new supervisor is a micro manager and I do not need that. One of those people who make you feel like you suck, are waiting to be fired, etc. One of my coworkers started crying yesterday....who needs that, I ask you?

            Rusty, you sound busy and waiting to bust loose. Maybe go wild and take down the Christmas deco this weekend. HaHa. Seriously, you sound like you are doing well, AF and working hard. Good you have the weekend off.

            Cassia, nice to hear from you, your story tells a tale of influencing others in a positive light. Good for you.

            Lav, Lilli is gorgeous.

            Well, yesterday I was feeling ill and a craving thought hit me. It occurred to me that ODAT is all I need to focus on. So I did,and felt better. I thought that I did not have to worry about this weekend, next month, hot weather, or anything else but right now, today. It worked. Just wanted to share as I am finding that being in the present is a great way to feel at peace.

            The earthquake and disaster, catastrophe, in Japan is so mindboggling, it is hard to get your mind around it. Global implications are scary too. All we can do is live our best today, pray, offer money to charities in that area.

            To all have a peaceful and meaningful AF day.

                Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

                Just giving a quick check in - my daughter took my laptop on a trip until Friday so I probably won't be on much until then.

                Hope everyone has a great, sober St. Paddy's day!

                  Top of the Morning to All of You!

                  Glad it is Thursday but wishing it was Friday :H At least the temps will be getting up to the 60's here today. The birds are already chattering away. I think I saw a few of them doing an Irish jig, too!

                  Rusty - You do make all of us laugh. Have you considered being a stand-up comedienne? I think you would be quite successful. Your Christmas decoration story made me laugh because as I was driving through my housing development last week, I did notice that one of my neighbors still has their Christmas tree on display in their living room window. I don't think it was still decorated, but there it was - right in the window!

                  The devastation in Japan is just heart wrenching. The company I work for announced yesterday that they are contributing $500K to a relief fund and will match employee contributions up to a certain amount. That made me feel better so I will be able to make a contribution that will try to make a difference.

                  Star - Micro-managers who make their staff feel worthless are the absolute pits. How people like that make it into management positions is beyond me but it happens all the time. I take a different approach - provide direction and guidance but let my folks know that they are empowered to make a difference and get the job done. Continued good luck with your job search.

                  ODAT also works for me. There are very few days that go by when I don't think about or imagine what it would taste like to have another drink. The idea of forever can be daunting and overwhelming so I keep it in check by being aware and on-guard each day. Living in the moment and not worrying about what has happened in the past or what will happen in the future has been helpful for me.

                  This morning, I just finished reading The Lotus Eaters, Tatjana Soli, (9780312674441) Paperback - Barnes & Noble and all I can say - what a powerful book. It is fictional history, based on a photojournalist's experiences during the Vietnam war. Towards the end of the book, I read a passage that was so moving, telling how a Vietnamese family tried to escape from their village, I was in tears. Not a book for the light at heart but a very moving story. Any time I think I am having a rough go at it with life, I will have to reflect on all of those less fortunate than me around the world and all the grief suffered by so many innocent people. Reading this book was a very sobering experience for me.

                  Lav - The picture of Lily Marie is so precious. Thank's so much for sharing. What an angel!

                  I guess I need to start thinking about getting ready for work today. Oh darn!

                  Hope everyone has a wonderful day....

                    Happy St patrick's day to our irish folk!

                    Rusty you made me laugh out loud. It's clear you lead a very busy life if your christmas decorations are still up. That was so funny.

                    For God's sake Mr G. Wear your swimming pants and jump out of a box cause we will never hear the end of it from Rusty! lol

                        Beautiful pic of Lily, Lav. She looks like she could take on the world, and no doubt will.

                        What to wear for easter! What to wear............?

                        Have a great week folk's!

                          Glad you all liked that pictire of Lily, I thought it was great too.

                          G - I'm starting to envision a little something made of bunny fur for you to wear while decorating Rusty's Easter basket - I hope it doesn't cause you allergy problems :H

                          We've been promised 2 days of sunshine & milder temps so I'm happy even though the rain returns for the weelend

                          Star, I well know that feeling of having the micro manger monkey on your back at work. I once left a job telling her that I hadn't felt so oppressed since I was in Catholic School!!!
                          Hope you can find a new job soon.

                          Wishing everyone a wonderful AF St Paddy's Day

                            Happy St Paddy's all! Writing just a quick note now, as I know the dogs are just ready to pounce on me to be fed and walked...I'm writing in the dark to try to 'trick' them - -- as if!

                            Just made it through half of last week's posts - you guys certainly are busy and prolific. Chill, I was thrilled to hear that your mortgage is covered, so that you have some breathing room - I have been thinking that you were half-way to Scotland by now! John - haven't read about the race yet, but glad to hear that you traveled for your passion. Rusty - maybe you could just put easter eggs on the xmas tree? No, I did not have surgery, but 6 weeks of intense work, moving my client and myself, and all the pressure simply knocked my socks off. Left me with no energy or desire to take care of myself (except to stay AF, thank goodness). Going to check for medical issues as well soon - I have not bounced back like I should have.

                            I will try to get some pics of spring here in the Desert - the cactus blooms can be quite dramatic, some only lasting a day. With 90 degrees already, it doesn't seem like spring, but the bird-songs and watching them nest is a reminder of the season.

                            Happy AF day to you all -

                              Hi folks sorry I missed humpday. We were very busy and then unexpected visitors arrived on their way to somewhere else. Why don't people let you know that they're planning on calling? Its his family so I can't say much ....but it does annoy me.

                              Lav I love that photo of Lily - really sweet.

                              I hope St Patrick's day is pleasant for everyone, catch you later gang

                              love Sooty
