Mornin Muffins and STUD muffin man!
I mean, that's what we asked for a month or so ago and I decided it would be so nice to have a stud muffin around . . MIke you tease enough, I am thinking you may just be him!
Jen and Mike, loved the quote, it is really thought provoking!
Mary Anne, what a relief to see your hubby doing well.
Lush, glad to hear the ex was fun and uplifting to have around. 40's are great! Not to worry about it, Dilayne is right, life just starts at 40!!
E, glad you are back.
Judie, you always crack me up! What do I look like a waitress - whew!
Rachele, love the jack-o- laterns!
Allie, I understand that worry about tomorrow. I hope you and your mom are doing well considering everything.
Precious, I think that identifying the triggers and planning around them are huge parts of the process. Good for you!
Dilayne, Becca, Soccermom Mary, Mary 8305 and anyone I missed, I hope you all have a great week!
Speaking of Telluride, it is where my oldest son took his girlfriend this weekend. They hiked to the top of the mountain and he got down on his knee, asked her if she would spend the rest of her life with him. Then brought out the "to die for ring." When they got back to the hotel, he had called ahead and had them set up a bottle of champagne with strawberries and rose petals all over the bed. (Girls . . . I raised my boys for about 8 years on my own. Always telling them what a woman would like to see. WOW, the kid listened!!) These two have dated since they were 17 and made it through the separation of college, one at CU Boulder and the other at Cornell in NY. I think it is meant to be.
Spur of the moment his fiancee's mom had a dinner party last night with all of her family there, and the four of us. It was really quite nice. I brought a couple dishes and hubby stopped and picked up 5 bottles of wine on they way there. As I am walking into the house, I remembered I hadn't had my supps for the day and was going to be confronted with a total party family in a total party situation. It made me a little uneasy as you know there were going to be toasts going on all evening. So, I made an immediate plan.
I am very proud of myself this morning. I carried the glass of wine with me everywhere and used it only for the toasts, and just took a small sip for every time we lifted our glasses, finished the rest of it at dinner. Then had a half glass of champagne for the real toast. No headache this morning and no over doing it. I still had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Hugs and Love to all of you,
Mary
PS: I have found that exercising in the evening seems to bring the endorphin levels up enough that it takes, time out of the drinking hour and gets me revved up enough to not really want to drink if that is a help to those struggling with boredom and trying to make a different plan.
