Hi Everybody! Today, I have a mixture of things to do. Really, I'm trying to stay particularly busy because in the past, we would start drinking Champagne at brunch sipping into afternoon cocktails. Haven't done that for a long time, but I usually have a drink at lunch. I didn't last week and felt really great about it. But I was running around making and delivering chicken soup to all the sick people from the Synagogue. This week it is a whole different ball game. It is snowing, and though we are all three sitting here together in the family room with our various laptops doing our various projects, sharing along the way, I am counting the hours to cocktail time! I am going to make it though. Fortunately, on Sundays we eat early. I make a traditional chicken dinner every Sunday (roast chicken in the winter). Since we are eating at 5 EST, we start cocktail hour at 3. Then, once again, I'm going to drink tea at dinner. We're going to watch a movie after dinner. So, if I can make it to cocktail hour, I know I'll be ok. Fortunately, since I have been through this everytime I add a new challenge, I know if I go through this a couple of weeks, it will get easier.
Please everyone - wish me luck and say a prayer for my success! It is really important to me as it is a major turning point.
On a side note, I did really well yesterday, drinking a couple of glasses of wine during cocktails after the Havdalah service, but diet coke with our pizza and no alochol at the Synagogue home group meeting. And I didn't drink when I got home. So I am making some real headway!
Mike, I think you are spectacular. I think you are just "top drawer" and your ex must be an absolute idiot. Your children are fortunate to have you in their lives, as you are probably the most positive influence available to them, and there is nothing like having a great father like you through thick and thin. You should be breaking your arm patting yourself on your back for your valor!
Thanks Judiie for the support. Congrats to you as well.
Laura, I appreciate your support also.
Dilayne, we will never kick you off of here, and I always appreciate hearing from you.
Mary Anne, I'm with Lush -- I have never done six days of abs. And even though it is not on my agenda as a mod, I really admire your ability to do it. I also think you need to let that person's criticisms go. We all love hearing from you. I know what you mean though. I once had someone PM me blasting me for being so up. And though everyone here was so gracious and told me not to worry. I always find myself proofing, thinking "now am I sounding to enthusiastic or over-achieving". I had even considered at one point in posting in long-term mods, since thats where I see myself. But finally just decided that I love this group too much. And unless I get thrown out, this is where I post. I may start posting in long-term mods also, just because it is an underused forum.
Hope everybody has a wonderful Sunday. I've done my morning schedule, now I am off to read my training for our online store.
Love to all
