    Well after some thought, I have decided to join absville as of today. As some of you may know, I have had a really, really, REALLY terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week. Anybody familiar with the book Alexander and the Terrible, horrible, no good, Very bad day?...oh but I digress here...I used to work as a School Counselor for grades K-3, and that was one of my favorite books...well, anyway, I had a day like that, well more like a week like that. And I imagine I will have more weeks to come, SO I have used it as an excuse to drink a rediculous amount the past few days. I woke up this morning with a revelation...It will only make things worse...Wow, I must have a brain cell or two left.

    So, I am going abs for awhile....at least, I am going to give this a shot.

    Wish me luck all. In the drinking department...and in life in general...I could use it.

    Thanks

            Morning all!!!

            Bak, I wish you nothing but the best as well. Sounds like you are very determined. I am sorry things have been going not so good for you lately.

            Hawk, how come Jen was addressed in the proper manner and I was not? Hmmmpph. I am still planning three days AF this week BUT I think it will start tomorrow. I know I sound lame but we have yet another snow day. This is beyond unusual for us. I am housebound and I have wine in the house. Call me weak, I am just being realistic. So tomorrow for sure it is. I sound like I am 5 years old, don't I?

            Allie, you did not like O? Really? I remember thinking it was a little long but I thought the acrobatics were amazing. "Can I hug you cocktail style?" made me spew my coffee. Good one. I am very jealous of your winnings. I think the most I have ever won is 200.00.

            Jen, you are forgiven for not coming back onto chat last night. I had to go soon after anyhow.

            Pebbles, excellent job on the weight loss and avoiding the wine. Bravo!!!!

            Becca, even if you are aiming for abs you are always a muffin so please stay in touch with us.

            E, I hope you continue to feel better.

            Everyone else you know I am thinking of you and wishing you a great Tuesday.

            Hey NP, what is your avatar a picture of? It is beautiful!!!

            Waves, no more word association threads for a while please. I was going bonkers yesterday trying to keep up!!!

                  Sometimes I wonder...."Why is that frisbee getting bigger?"...and then it hits me.

                      Just stopping by during a brief break. I was on my way back to the office after a meeting and was delayed because of an accident. I didn't see the accident but was the third car back about eight police cars and an ambulance arrived. I was right in front of the accident sight. It was a mess. Someone drove through a house. The front of the house was demolished. The front door of the car was gone and the air bag had popped. I didn't see anybody in the car and was grateful for that. I cry over everybody. As sorrowful as I am for that person, it sure makes my problems look trite!

                      Becca - glad you are still posting here! I have always found your strength, resolve, and determination inspiring.

                      Beth - sorry things aren't going well -- hope it gets better. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to PM me.

                      Pebbles, I know what you mean about being in a school setting with little children -- I feel the same way. That is one of the reasons I love Tumadra so much. Not only is she a teacher, which I think has to be one of the most difficult jobs in the world, but whenever she talks about her school projects, her love of what she is doing just shines right on through. It is very touching to me and always gives me this really great feeling that we are so fortunate in the world to have people like her who like to help children. I always have a special admiration for people who have a talen that I don't.

                      Also, Pebbles, congratulations on the weight watchers and not sabatoging your success by stopping for drinks!

                      Soccermom and Presciouspinot - It was a great event, thanks!

                      Lush, Goddess of the Mods or Jenneh, Senior member, or any other brilliant person here; can anyone tell me why my ball next to my name is green?

                      Well, I have to go pick up my son -- he is doing mid-terms, so they have a short day.
                      Saving the day one minute at a time!

                        Hi all,

                        Anger, is a fabulous reminder that there are still a few things being misunderstood.

                        In all cases.

                        ****The Universe

                        ____________________________

                        Waves your word association games were a riot! I am catching up this morning and couldn't stop laughing at Paula, Rachele, NP, Accountable and Mrs. Macks with the occasional Lush interjection on fairness!

                        Lush, Oh majestic senior of senior members, you cracked me up with your comments on their one word posts towards senior status. I know you worked way harder than that to get 1,000. what happens at 2,000 . . as you are coming close? So you are still snowed in. I understand that feeling with time on your hands being snowed in and wine being in the house. I do prefer to have my favorite banished from the house. It simply makes it easier.

                        E, so wonderful to see you back here. I hope you feel stronger with each passing day. We all love you!

                        Allie, sounds like great fun and a challenge also. YOU CAN DO THIS MODS THING _ I KNOW IT!!!! I understand completely though, I won a trip for two to Cancun from one of my networking groups. ONLY because I was the one who had to be "on" in business meetings did I stay completely sober while my husband started on the free bloody Mary's every morning. I had a riot the Sunday afternoon that we were all finished up and could get away from every other biz person who knew me. Because he was in way worse shape than me, I was still thinking I was just fine. (I can be so righteous sometimes!) I don't know how I would react to that situation now. I would probably be feeling your same angst. PS: STAY AWAY FROM THE FREE SHRIMP!!!

                        Tumadre, it can be so hard to find that special time for yourself to work on your own issues. Wandering Wombat who showed up here briefly, laid out a plan that included something nice for yourself every day. I have to say if I follow my plan it is still hard to fit in that something nice for me in a day. We should as we all should be rewarded for these steps we are taking. I think you are doing an excellent job raising your daughter.

                        Terror, Welcome, you are really following your plan well. We are all excited for you.

                        NP, Lush is right, great photo! so sorry about your mom, hope she is feeling better. I can't wait to be the go to grandma - but can imagine throwing everyones schedule off with my ridiculous back and knee!

                        MM, congrats on your son. That is wonderful. I am keeping my fingers crossed for his Harvard ap. Look on the very bright side that he got this far in the process! That is great. Hope your computer stays running today. . . and yes, save, save, save!! So sorry about the accident. that is horrible. It does put life in better perspective huh? so did Judie's thankful post the other day.

                        Becca, great to see you sweetie. The AF mindset is what has helped me along. I look at mods a bit more like an AF plan with some time off occasionally. If not I can get in that mode of not putting in one AF day. I know you can do this!

                        Accountable, you have such a great sense of humor, I really enjoy your posts!

                        SM Mary, I have such great respect for you and the schedule you keep! You can do this!

                        Pebbles, great job bypassing the pub, that is how you do this, little by little and then big leaps such as that!

                        Jen, oh second majestic senior, I am happy that you have stayed AF again and that mode has come back into play! You are inspiring to all of us!

                        Hawk, how are you feeling now? How is the real estate market going for you? good for you on your plan.

                        Beth, you know what is best for you, come back and visit us and I wish you much success!

                        PP, you are amazing, everything you did this weekend! AND sans hangover .. .YEAH!!

                        I realized last night however that drinking does trigger the smoking cravings. I know I have been counting the smoke free days but just need to say, when I quit years and years ago, I just quit. I was quite young and saw a full life ahead of me. This time, the past few times I have quit, I have gone for even two months and then went back so I certainly do not feel out the woods on this. The only thing I have different this time is your support and the tools MWO has given me. . . which is a better mindset!

                        Judie, how is your finger? Where are you? Fan? Gypsi? Mary Anne?

                        Well all the lovely mods still to come, hope you are having a great day!

                        Hugs and Love,
                        Mary

                          Thanks for the well wishes for my mom. She really is great with the kids and I realize how much I rely on her when she's down and out. I'm ready for a nap.
                          Even though we were sending Lush over the edge a couple times yesterday I was having the best time with word associations. I was laughing so hard I thought I'd pee a couple times.
                          Okay here's what my avatar is:
                          Gleaming Fortress
                          Jumeirah Beach Residence rose in just 36 months, its concrete poured by laborers working day and night. Some critics are questioning the speed of change and a lack of planning: The towering apartment complexes stand like a wall, cutting off the rest of Dubai from its coast.
                          From "Dubai," NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, January 2007"
                          I get the picture of the month sent to me through e-mail then use it for my avatar. Some people take great pictures. I also learn about new places b/c I had never even heard of Dubai before this.

                          Have a good one Modsville

                            MM,
                            Forgot to answer your question. The green ball means you are on-line. So whoever has a green ball means they are on line at the same time as you. The others aren't logged on.

                            Talk to you soon!

                              Good Afternoon Everyone!

                              It's a very busy day in my house, so just a quick check in.

                              No drininking during the week has been replaced by eating myself out of house and home!

                              It's a darn good thing I've been exercising!

                              Today is day 3

                              If I can do this, anyone can!

                              My Love To You All,
