Hi Abbers!

Didn't see a thread started for today so I'll take the bull by the horns and get the party started! Good morning or afternoon wherever you all are on the planet we call home!

Today marks 21 days of straight sobriety for me as well as 105 days for 2011. YAY!

Have to make this first post quick as I'm running out of time this morning...gotta eat some breakie, jump in the shower and get to work for turkey madness 2011. 2 more days and then I can get a breather! Wish me luck. Although, I do sorta like the insanity at work this week...there is a holiday buzz in the air and customers are very happy.

I'm also the cheese buyer at the store for all the artisan cheese and just had a load come in yesterday. I've got wood to cut in the cheese arena today with lots of wheels that need to be cut, labeled and wrapped. Fig and Honey Wensleydale and also a delicious Mango Ginger Stilton from England. Local blue cheese from Mass. Baby Swiss from NH. Brie from France. So many cheeses, such little time...lol. And I've got to make these look all pretty and on display too. But I enjoy it. I tried to go dairy free for a while but do you see why in the heck I can't?:H

Alright, all this talk about cheese makes me want to make an omelette with some nice aged cheddar! Off I go. Have a great day all and I'll check in with you later!:thanks:

Sorry guys, Looks like Greenie and I were on the same timeframe this AM with getting the AF 22nd thread started. Oh well, it's not the end of the world to have 2, right? I can't seem to delete this one so I'll just leave it as is! Ok, gotta dash to work, bye for now!

Oh no we have 2 threads today! Oh well, that's okay!
Thanks Blonde for starting us and congrats on 3 full weeks of sobriety! Feels awesome doesn't it? I am 11 days away from 6 months. And counting.

Sid the Kid was back last night! We were a happy hockey family, my daughter just loves him! You know Canada is hockey when they literally interupted their scheduled programming to put on a special hockey night in canada presentation because he was making his comeback. This is our game! And out he comes and kicks some ASS!!!! We were happy.

Okay, enough about hockey (can you guys tell it is my life in the winter? LOL). I have to volunteer at my daughters school this morning and then I have my psychiatrist appointment this afternoon. I had a brutal drunk dream last night and woke up feeling hungover - headache etc. I friggin hate those, they feel so real. But at least I know it wasn't.

Okay, I must get rushing off - love you guys! Have an awesome AF day.
Uni

Blondiegirl you can't delete a thread, or a post really. You have to leave "something" there in an edit. I directed to this thread so that sort of fixes it. I would have a serious cheese problem if I had your job being up close and personal with all those glorious naked cheeses!!

FABBIES!!!

I seem to have caught what the different guy at work had last week. Bummer. I am NEVER sick. Maybe stay home for Tgiving if I'm not up for a long drive tomorrow (in the rain, in the traffic, in tiny 5 speed). If I stay home that would be OK, really. I'd just have to hide from FH. :H

Blondiegirl, is that your little doggie? What a sweet sweet face!

Bear, you are sorta like LVT as busy as you keep yourself. I think Colin Tipping (you kow I'm a fan) has a weight loss something or another. Prolly on his website. You seem to eat well and stay active so maybe there's a head hurdle for you to jump. Good job on your AFeyness.

Adios for now. One thing's for sure!

Good Morning FABberoonies!

I think I actually missed posting yesterday!? Wha..? Well, 'twas a busy day with work for a client I'm actually about to lose Nothing to do with me but they're merging with a large national firm which is very exciting news for them, not so much for me. The large firm have an in house IT department, their own servers, etc.. Unfortunately, this is the 6th client this year leaving under similar circumstances.

Anyways, there'll be more of the same (work) today, so I'm not sure I'll have time to loiter here

Blonde... congratulations on your 3 weeks! You're doing splendid, girl!!!
Greenie... rest, hide, feel better!
Lav... hope your SIL recovers quickly!
AFM... thinking of you, hope the treatment goes well!

That's all I got folks - everyone have a terrific Tuesday! One thing is for sure...

Two threads are better than none :H

Good morning Abbers!!!!!

Dark & damp here today, oh well.

Keeping clients in this economy has been a struggle Sunni
I've lost several large customers, they closed their businesses & no longer need uniforms. Ugh!

Greetings to Blondie, greenie (hope you feel better soon) & Uni!

I need to get some more info about my SIL & find out when I can go see her. She's in ICU right now. What a situation, huh?

Wishing everyone a great AF Tuesday!

Lav

ps: lactose intolerant Lav wants some of that cheese Blondie......

Hello friends,

Lav, I hope your SIL recovers well from her surgery. My hubby has issues with diver, and a missed diagnosis on my sister is what started a year of hell for her. Of course she had complications with healing due to the Cushings and MRSA. So true, esp as we get older a high fiber diet is so important. I take a probiotic daily which helps me. The pharmacist also said hormones (estrogen) gets trapped in our bowels and cause us females to have too much. Also cannot stress enough how everyone needs to pay attention to their bodies and if something is not right--PLEASE get it checked out! My friend had some symptoms 2 years ago and didn't go to the doctor. If he had the cancer may have not gotten out of control! He is only 48, so hadn't gone for a routine colonoscopy either.

Ok, that is the lecture for the morning.

Greenie--sorry you are sick.:l

Going to get away from this computer and get busy on my projects this morning. Have a great sober day all. And thank you Kaslo for the chuckles from yesterday's thread.:h

Hello All,

Just back from yoga and off to the shower. I am now working at the studio as an assistant teacher and it's fun. Spend alot of time in sweaty yoga clothes though.

BlondeAmition, your job sounds interesting. What do you do? CONGRATS ON YOUR AF DAYS!!!

Greenie, Hope you feel better soon. Lots of crud going around.

Adios for now.

Happy Tuesday ABeroooooos!

BlondeAF, mega kudos on your AF'ness! and how cool you're the cheese buyer! I'd drive the biz into the dirt if that were my job.... I LURVE good gourmet cheeses! I was lamenting on chat last night that I was out of my aged gouda. sniff sniff

Mom3, speaking of sweaty workout clothes....have you seen the clothing made with silver fibers? it naturally resists any odors and actually kills fungus/mold/bacteria from the reaction with the silver. pretty cool stuff. I have a few of thier socks and T-shirts and recently one of their warm weather long sleeves. lemme check. ok back, it's a company called XGO

Uni, so glad it was a dream eh? I hate those too

Kas, hope your all snuggled up in your snuggie

LVT, Lav, Nelz (Rex racer X), Sunshine, Greeneyes, garlic flavored hugs to all

That is a non approved word, widely deemed offensive, crude, and unnecessary.

Oh, and please please pretty please keep it at your end of the country - Thank you.

hey all, happy Tuesday evening to you.

Queenie Greenie - hope you feel better soon.

Hello lovely af peeps, I think the chromium is really working - I feel on top of life for the first time in ages, I have energy/enthusiasm and am not craving food/junk. I last ate about 3pm and it's now 7pm - usually by now I would be famished,and cross.Also spent an hour on phone to parents that NEVER happens - we had a good laugh.I was honest with them about how crap work has been and how miserable I have been feeling - I feel much better now - combo of being alcohol free, chromium, positive thinking and seeing friends more regularly/planning for future.

Making a slow braised chinese beef in oven with carrots, chilli, garlic,ginger,soy and star anise mmmm, it's actually quite low fat!

i love being alcohol free - I think the high is starting to kick in.
I have ordered 'my lush sobriety' anyone read it?It's about a reformed party girl but instead of all about her drinking this is about her sobriety,I'll let you know.
Have a good evening - off to watch trash tv - 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' love it, and then have big bubble bath/face mask before bed with book.

I tell you I am having a lush sobriety! whee! And ya'll get a heapin helpin credit for this healin! One of the main reasons I have succeeded this time is because of the support here on this site and specifically, here in this cozy thread. Gratzi my friends....

With your help and encouragement....I am about to celebrate my first AFThanksgiving in 100 years!

Okay...it just feels like a hundred because I can't remember the last time I was sober for TG.

The only thing getting pickled in these parts is the turkey. It's actually getting brined. I better go get it together stat!

hope to see some of you in chat later tonight....where you been Kas? And Det - give SIRI a rest!
