Good Day Booze Busters!!!! Sounds like a good weekend was had by all, except for that NASTY NASTY bitter cold weather that Mame had to endure. It was a good weekend here too, with yesterday being rather lazy.
I did catch last 4 games or so of the Men's oops I mean Gentlemen's Wimbledon final. Here are a few thoughts:
So who were you wanting to babysit oops I mean win?
I would like to help Rafael work on his biceps oops I mean forehand.
Rafael sure picked some great shorts oops I mean shots out of his arse!!
How many times do they refresh their rockets oops I mean rackets during a match?
I am a BAD girl. Dirty Old Lady to the bitter end. Seriously - It really was an exciting set, and looks like the whole match was like that!
Marshy - I hope you waved hello to the cheerleaders from all of us!! Did you round up any great lookin' new cheerleader recruits????? Sounds like you had a fun AF time - wish I could have been there with you.
Greenie, so glad to see you here Booze Bustin with us!! Happy 3 weeks TODAY!
(note to booze busters there will be a PARTAY next week....) Sober really does feel good, doesn't it. My brain still tries to get a fix, but I ain't doin' it.
Mame - I am NOT envious of that cold weather - and I sure don't blame you for skipping the gym!! I AM envious of fresh 1 day old fish!!!!!! Recipe please????
sothankful - WELCOME TO DAY 3!!!! Your clothes are much better looking than the suit!!
Mr. Thankful sounds very nice and also wise. At first we tend to be SO focused on 1) desiring an AL fix and 2) being angry if we deny it to ourselves and we completely forget that many, many non drinkers have fun in life, deal with problems in life, etc. every single day - without alcohol. We can too. I can relate to your thinking about a life style change. Caysea really got me thinking that way too in the abbercise thread. I am finding that embracing exercise is really making a positive difference in so many ways. I could NEVER enjoy it like this all hung over. That would be sheer torture!! Each person has to find their own way, but exercise has become pivotol in the "life style change" department for me. You will find your way too!! There is a wonderful AF life out there for all of us.
Sheepish - there is no problem discussing your uncertainty about your goals. That is very understandable - especially since you ARE a person who is able to regularly drink moderately. Only YOU can decide what you want your goals to be. I guess if I were in your shoes, the bottom line for me might be whether or not I could TRULY take or leave the alcohol on any given day. I tend to view Mr. Doggy as my "gold standard" for what a NON alcoholic is like. He doesn't think about alcohol very often. It only occurs to him to have a drink if he is in a situation where others are drinking. And then he often doesn't drink, or if he does, he has one or two and that's it. He is NEVER "waiting" for the next occassion to drink. He NEVER has a drink EVERY TIME it's socially acceptable / available. For me, accepting that I simply can NEVER imagine truly being that way helped push me to my own decision that abstinence is a must for me. But only you can decide for you. Don't know if that was helpful or not!!
Hannah, I am wondering about your "interview process" for the cheerleaders. You seem to have a LOT of um...well....private information about them!!!
Your week ahead does sound treacherous. Did I read right that the Boss and his wife are staying at your place???? YIKES. I don't like overnight company to begin with - much less imagining that with a heavy drinker who is also the Boss. Sounds like torture to me. Come touch the life line lots!! This too shall pass and you CAN do it. And when it's over you deserve a massage, a manicure / pedicure, and whatever other pampering suits your fancy. Tell Mr. Hannah about that NOW so he can make your reservation early at the fancy spa of your choice.
Well, time to do the AM doggy care and then take off for Curves!! I hope people are getting home from the holiday weekend and vacations today so our business picks up!!
