Good morning, all. Sounds like everyone had a good weekend!

DG, so glad Mr. Doggy and Ferguson passed! What an exciting day for you all - and I can relate with you on the pull of Al when there is something to celebrate. My other major trigger is when I am really really frustrated about something. I do remember that even after years of being AF that pull was still there, but it gets easier to ignore. These days I plan, and have AF beer or wine around. We even took a bottle of AF wine to the wedding with us, but never cracked it. Most people were just drinking soft drinks, so that was easy.

As to the wedding - it was a second time around for both, so they chose a very, very simple ceremony. No church, no big procession, nothing fancy at all - in fact, it was “held” at a ranch of some kind, and we just walked out to this little meadow, and there was a wedding commissioner who did the ceremony. No music, just a few simple flowers. The bride wore a simple short white dress, and the groom a suit, but the tie and jacket disappeared pretty fast. Then we sat under a big tent to eat a BBQ supper, and a small program, and that was it. Not that I am planning a second time around, still quite happy with my first time around - but if I ever did, would be something like that, for sure.

Mame - Yummm!!!! I’ll be trying that soup - sounds delish!! Kaddy, I’ll be trying some of yours too. Simple cooking is my forte, I am one of these people who don’t know what supper is until just before I start to cook. My sister amazes me, she has it all planned out the night before. Not me.

Re the hypno - I think that’s pretty normal that you were “under whelmed” by it, but it appears to be working. Along the same line as those people who get up on stage and make fools of themselves, and then have absolutely no recollection - it’s the subconscious mind the hypnotist influences, not your conscious mind. Glad it’s helping!

I am also not counting days per se, but being as I started at the beginning of a month, it’s sorta easy to still figure it out, since most months are ~ 30 days. Whatever works, works!

Pamina - Share the cassarole recipe! Then maybe I’ll know what I am having for supper tonight!

Well, I am up early for a change, although it was a major struggle to force myself out of bed. I am going to go to Curves, DG, and try working out in the a.m. I have a major crick in my back, from spending hours sitting in the truck traveling this weekend. So I am hoping to work that out, and at the same time book my “torture training” on the computerized machines. Yikes! Help meeeeeeeeeee……….!!!!!!!

Then we (hubby and I) are off golfing - he is taking this week off as holidays - yipppeeeeeee!!!!! (As you can see, in a good mood this a.m., crick in back and all!)

So, all to come, and any I missed - have an absolutely stellar Monday, okay?
