I accidentally posted this in the General Discussion Forum...thanks for calling it to my attention, Papmom!
I am writing you from lovely Montgomery, AL. I am starting my week with happy thoughts of an absolutely fantastic AF celebration as my niece got married last Saturday. The ceremony was nice and brief, in a beautiful Catholic church on the East side of the city, and the reception was at a lovely club overlooking Lake Michigan. The food was fantastic, and I danced the night away with every one of my brother's friends. My brother is 8 years older than I am and his friends have doted on me since I was little. So, after not seeing many of his friends in more than 25 years, we all reconnected and had a great time. I did not crave AL, only water as we were dancing as if we felt (not looked) like we were on DWTS. We've never had a problem with people getting unruly/obnoxious at one of our family weddings so we were lucky once more. One of my brother's closest friends gave me a huge hug and said my brother had been so worried about me (when I was drinking) because he loved me so much. He said he thought I looked really good. I told him and his wife that there was no way I would go back to that dark, scary place.
Lav-Lily is absolutely gorgeous with those big blue eyes....and your daughter looks so happy there. Hmmm....YB made an appearance? Well, I hope you had a laundry list of chores for him to finish.
Jolie-you sound so positive and it's so good to hear you have your resolve back. Let us know if we can help you in anyway....or just vent....we're good for that, too.
Papmom-when do you start your new PT job? No, I can't get rid of my PIA client...not for 2 more years....it's just how this industry is. I can't change him so I have to learn how to handle him better. I envy you making that 18-hour trip....ugh, if I have to drive more than 5 hours, I fly.
Rustop-you asked about my weight loss...well, after trying the HCG $$$$ Diet (don't bother...it RARELY works), my doctor put me on Phentermine....a diet pill. You can't get it off the internet...I check in with her once per month and get my refills. It really does suppress my appetite without making me gittery. I have been very happy with the results. Like you, despite exercising....the food this summer seemed to taste way too delicious.
Big hugs and hello and welcome backs to Sped and Jolie....and "I'll be folllowing the Packers this season" to SD. Congrats again SD and Sped on 90 days. Healing thoughts to Dew, soothing thoughts to Chill, Star, Cyn and LBH-come out, come out!
Well, I have a lot of work to do before I see my nice consulting client :-). Have a great AF Monday!
Rusty
