Good Morning Everybody!!! I'm finally starting to feel myself again. My head is still a little fuzzy (probably because of the medication as much as anything), but at least I have a little energy.

Today, I'm going to implement my New Years Resolutions full force. I got my new Perricone books and I am reading fervishly on how to get my body into the best shape. I've convinced my husband to join me. My son only has one more college application to get in and then that will be completed, though then we go to all the financial aid forms -- Yuk!!!

I've also resumed writing in the "Shared Faith In Healing" thread for anyone interested.

I wish everybody success in their New Year endeavors. I'll check in later.

Love,
MM

Good morning muffins!!

well...I was NOT successful last night...uhhh. What a way to start the new year. Did the typical..I will only have a little...which turned into more. Yikes. Well today is a new day.

I am waiting for a mom and her 4 year old to arrive for testing. Mom is a teacher but seems like a complete ditz!! Forgot the appointment, due to a last minute trip to bahamas..which I guess is understandable, but seemed completely out of it on the phone...and between talking to me was just yelling uncontrollably at her child....this is while ON the phone with the psychologist....I assume this is mom on her best behavior? YIKES!! This is what we have as our teachers here? Anyway, so they are coming...just very late...which is why I have time to post this. God knows what I am facing. Hopefully the child is better behaved than his mom!

Anyway, I am looking toward the new year with optomism, in spite of my set back last night. If I look back from where I started last spring, I have improved considerably, and I tend to forget that. I just need to look forward to reaching higher goals from here.

I hope everyone is off to a good start. Have a wonderful day!!

Morning muffs and muffin man!! We sound like a very positive bunch today. I too am on day two AF and I feel better already because of it. My goal is to never have that polluted, horribly unhealthy feeling I felt these last few days. There is absolutely no reason for it. Our dryer broke yesterday (everything in my house seems to be breaking at once) so more incentive to stay AF this week to save some money to pay for the repair. When I calculate what I spent last month on wine and champagne it made me stop in my tracks.

Beth, hope the mom is not as psycho as she sounds. Some parents amaze me, and not in a good way.

PP, I will join you on the exercise regimen once we get our Christmas crap put away so I can actually have room for my Pilates machine.

Jen, I am still worried about you. If you are reading this please clean out your PMs so I can write you.

Fan, no fair reading and not posting more. I missed you. Are you worried to be the second Sr. Member? Is that the reason for not posting?

MM, hope you keep feeling stronger.

To everyone still to come today.....:h

The litmus test that will reveal whether or not those in your company are truly enlightened, is whether or not they treat everyone else as if they, too, were enlightened.

Best to assume they are, if you get my drift.

All bow,

_______________________

How appropriate for me as I woke up at 4:30 this morning and read from a book of Buddha on enlightenment the boys gave me at Christmas.

Yesterday, I fired that client from hell. I hate to do that, this is the 4th one I have out and out fired but it brought a lot of peace and decided I do not need this kind of aggravation so it was a positive step forward. Still woke up not liking that whole deal.

Well, I think we all have somewhat of a renewed sense of moving forward on our plans. That is a great feeling.

Paul, so glad to see you are back on track and Monica, happy to hear you are finally starting to feel better. Beth hang in, you can do this! PP, so glad you are following your goals and exercise really does help. Mike, glad you get a lot out of the site also. Maybe our senior majestic Lush is right, you do not want to make it to senior member? Lush, so glad that you were AF last night. I have also been for 2 days. sorry about your dryer, seems sometimes all those things fall apart at one time. Paula, congrats on 3 days I knew you would get back on track!!

Still slipping and sliding on black ice everywhere. Schools are closed all over the area as there are 4 plows for 130 campuses in Albuquerque they may be closed until Friday and we have another storm coming through then. YIKES! Really may have to invest in some winter wonderland clothing and accessories, like safe ugly snow boots! Usually snow is gone overnight, no biggie and it is usually dry powder perfect skiing snow, this is wet, get icy every night type snow.

Hugs and Love,
Mary

hello

Hi everyone! Good day to be AF, I am on #2 also, and it feels good to have an uncloudy head, I agree!

Lush, it seems like my stuff (dryers, fridge, you name it) all breaks at the same time, and you are right, when I think about how much $$ I wasted this past month on just drinking, WOW, it freaks me out!

Will save lots this month though!! Won't we all who are going for the AF Jan...........?

Anyway, gotta get back to work, LOVE YOU ALL!!:heart:

Congrats to everyone thats AF. Glad to hear you're doing well.:goodjob:

I'm doing pretty good. Actually, very good, considering yesterday I got kinda bummed out started hitting the wine a bit harder than usual!

Kinda ironic...I was celebrating my one year here @ MWO! Thanks for the note MKR :l .
I've already gone back on one of my New Year's resolutions... not to be too sarcastic! Oh well, I guess that's just part of the package, no matter what.

In any case...just very thankful for this program, and all the blessings in my life. Also really glad I don't have a headache today!:danthin:

PS I hope everyone is feeling better, ...who haven't been

Just had to share my new avatar with you all!! That is Allie's feet!! I knew we got along when we realized we liked the same shoes LOL. Actually, we had so much fun trying on the UGLIEST shoes ever on new years day...they don't look so bad in the picture, but trust me! We made total fools of ourselves and had a great time. I tried to upload a picture of the two of us on here, but apparently it has too many K's??? I am no computer geek, but if anyone out there knows how I can make it work, I will try to get it on here. Anyway, just thought I would share what I could of our little get together over new years.

Hope everyone is doing well today.

Later!

shoes are a wonderful thing. It is my second addiction. I'm pretty certain I'll be required to spend some time in hell for my behavior on this earth.....and I really hope there is a shoe store there.:H

[lushy]

Damn funny Hawk!!

And Allie you have quite the nice feet. I am sure Fan will have something nice to say about them. Nice of you to show us all Beth.

Jude, sorry you chose to overcelebrate your one year anniversary here. Ironic indeed. But you are the Queen of Moderating so I know you will be just fine........

Mary Anne, right on with your AF days as well!!!

Dryer man just left with more money in his pocket than I planned to give him. Grrr.............I told him he better not have done something to my washing machine while he was in there so that will be the next to go. Thankfully he laughed at me.

I am NOT grumpy. I am NOT! So there.

Well truth be told , I wasn't really celebrating my 1 year here... so much, as having a pity party for myself by the end of the day.

one year...:thanks:
It felt like a pretty big deal to me. And it is. But that being said, I'm here for me. So if I don't get the pats on the back, that I might like... so be it. (and if I can help someone else along way, all the better)

I know what I'm capable of, what I've done before, & where I am now. I also know I'm never going to allow myself to go back to where I've been before finding this place.
I know I joke a lot. But sometimes I'm a bit sensitive... working on that one.

I'm going to be starting back to one of my painting jobs tomorro, so I won't have as much time here... probably best to keep myself busier than I have been. So hard to find that happy medium. I'll still be waitressing too. But too much time on my hands isn't a good thing for me.

Good evening everyone! I am on day 3. I too have to incorporate some sort of exercise program. Have done one day of pilates and every muscle in my body was killing me. Maybe because I tried to do it when my kids were awake and they were all over me so I was leg lifting them. Will try again. I also ordered the Winsor Pilates because it was ranked so high with the BBB. Hopefully I will find somewhere in my house to be able to exercise at a reasonable hour.
Glad to see you all. TAKE CARE.
