Good morning Mod's Land,

Today is supposed to be 90 here in NY so I put up a little kids Dinosaur pool last night with slides and all. Should be a fun day.

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Good morning all. Hope you don't mind another poster here. I am new but seeking to moderate. Checked in yesterday for the first time after lurking for some time. I would really like to have a few alcohol free days each week and stop at one or two glasses of wine when I drink. Last night I did have a third glass, out of boredom and habit I think. I feel fine since I had my dinner before any wine. That is another change I need to make. Hubbie, who does not have a problem, likes a nice before dinner cocktail. That hits me on an empty stomach and tends to send me along the wrong path, to more drinks. So I need to deal with the bored feeling and find other things to fill my time. It's sad how I have used drinking as entertainment over the years...looking forward to changing that.

Off to the gym for a long workout. It's much easier when I don't wake up with a hangover. Enjoy the weather Beaches. :new:

I am confused as well....maybe another cup of coffee would help.

Day 7 AF for me....3 days until my 10 day goal. I haven't gone without a drink for 10 days in a long time.

I keep thinking how great I am going to look once I lose my drinking weight - its a great motivator for me.

Sorry, I didn't even think about that. The pix is my doxie, who I lost a few months back. He had no teeth so his tongue hung out all the time. Ducky was my dad's knickname for me. I guess maybe I should find a pix of a duck?

After 2 hours at the gym it will have to wait, lol. Hope everyone is doing well today.

Good day everyone....
Just to make things a tad more confusing, I am old here with a new name! My anonymity was becoming very unstable as too many people outside of my husband were aware that I am a part of this website and it has kept me from posting much and feeling like I can be myself. So I'll send some PM's to those of you I stay in touch with and for the rest of you, you can probably guess from the avatar!

Welcome ducky.... and hi to you pesto duck! (now I know Lucky knows who I am)

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Welcome ducky! Please don't change your avatar..if you and lucky are both duck avatars it will become even more confusing. You are fine the way you are!

Another hectic day but, am taking it in stride.....have a great day all!!!

Morning everyone. Well now that I am totally confused I will try and write something coherent. Prest4time, I think I know who you are, or do I? Will you please PM me???

Ducky, welcome to the mods group. Drinking on an empty stomach can send a lot of us down the wrong path. I wish you the best in moderating.

Lorelei, right on!!! 10 days seems very do-able. I should do that soon as well.

Beaches didn't you just have six feet of snow like two days ago? You have some very odd weather patterns going on.

I am missing a lot of you that have not posted lately. Come back..........:upset:

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

Thanks for the welcomes! I will keep Hans as my avatar. I agree that two ducks would be a tad confusing.

Has anyone started doing anything new to fill time when they don't drink or moderate? I used to dream of living near the ocean and writing. I have lived two blocks from the beach for four years and since I have not been working have had plenty of time to write. Not a word has come out. It's hard to focus on writing (or anything else) when you have a hangover most mornings. It was nice to wake up feeling good this morning after moderating my wine. Maybe I will get to a place where the words will start to come...

So that's my focus. Just wondered if anyone has picked up a new interest or is getting back to an old one?

Chrysa..I like this one better.
Hello everyone! Feeling pretty good today since I sent in my resignation letter. On the way to work I purchased a pair of bright blue garden crogs to replace my work shoes! So, that is what i'm doing with my increasing by the hour fresh new time. I'm gardening, mending, thinking of things to paint..organizing my studio, contacting friends who share my interest to reconnect...my soul is very happy today!

Have a lovely day today! I fully intend to!

back to work...having a hard time not walking around with a smirk on my face because nobody knows I'm leaving until Monday..except my boss...oh, and I think I'll be getting a little money from a retirement fund that was set up at work that I won't likely be working with..so that will help me relax over the summer while I reorganize my life. Cross your fingers for me for that.

Hugs to those who need them, cheers to those who want them and Namaste to everyone else!
Di

Hi Lucky...
This was my original avatar way back when... well in the beginning! I'll probably change it soon, but thought it would help for those of you who knew me as the bubble gum girl.

Hi everybody!
Our computer's been down the past few days so I haven't been able to get in here. I've really missed everyone.:h

Thankfully the weather's been beautiful, so I've been kayaking my brains out. It was 98* on Monday!(it didn't even get that hot in Fla!) That's unheard of here...especially in early May! I kayaked all the way to town. I was just gonna go for for a short paddle, but it was so georgous on the river I called Hubby on my cell & had him pick me up in town (about 10 mi downstream) The water's still pretty high so it didn't take long.

Hope everyone's having a good day.
It's pretty nice out, so I need to go pull some weeds before i go play...

Peace & hugs,
:l Judie

Hey Prest4...I think i know who ya are... good to see ya!

PS Chryssa, love the new avatar!
