I slept till 8!!!! It's a miracle!! I was awake for a little stint during the dark hours but 8.. wow, that's a NEVER!!

bear I wonder if the photo shoot will be still group shots or action stuff?

Here's what I'd like to do today... watch bear skate in a roller derby game, kakyak with kas, visit blondie girl's shop, and do some target practice with det (and stay for dinner).

Here's the best thing ever... I guess I don't get this sort of thing often because it almost made me tear up. I agreed to not hoof it at the river while my knee work is going on so when GF I usualy walk with called I told her that and said I could only stroll along so unless she was interested in that sort ofnon-exercise walk I would pass. She said That's exactly what she would like to do; that a stroll would be perfect just for the opportunity to spend time with me and catch up on things from the last week. That just made greenies little heart sing. I think I don't feel particularly special most of the time. If someone is special to you, I think you should tell them. Besides, it does a lot for the planet in terms of opening heart spaces (including your own) and raising the collective vibration. I did that recently in a very poignant thank you note to my sister after T-day. I wanted to be certain she knew (like REALLY knew) how very special she made me feel when I visit. More than just thanks and a hug when I left. She called all choked up. It made me happy for her to feel that love and specialness. So, pass it around! It's good for everyone.

bear have you considered yoga stretches?

One thing's for sure!!

Hello abber dabbers!

Bear - have fun in the big bad city

Greenie - you're very special

Turn - no problem Difficult to tell what gender people are on here sometimes.

Getting ready to head off to GF's family bash. We're eating early because her little neice and nephew will be there and need to be in bed by 8-ish. It's the kids that bother me actually. I'm sure the adults will be fine but you know how kids are much more difficult to impress? :H

I was given two bottles of wine at work yesterday (tis the season) and I'm taking them to give GF's dad so that was good timing!

Have a good day everyone!

LOL, Greenie...sure, come on over to my store! Lots of goodies there . Hope whatever you do today is fun!!!

Bear, good luck on the skating! Geez, I haven't skated in years! Used to love it though, both ice skating and roller skating. We don't have a rink in town though.

Hi to everyone else this Sunday morning! Off to work at 9:30 and wish I could have today off...it's so nice out (sunny, but cold) and I still have lots to do before my mother's birthday party on Wednesday.

Oh, went to run the furnace last night and it smoked, so I have to get it serviced. It's been a while since it's been cleaned anyway. Now we are running on space heaters to take off the chill. Good thing it's not been too cold lately!

Well, see you guys later and have a great day all!

Good morning Abbers and sounds like everyone has wonderful busy days ahead and I am no exception. I embrace my hangover free Sunday morning as I do have shopping and chores around the house and a determination to try my hand at cooking some Indian food from a new recipe book I got. Hit the Indian grocery yesterday and am all stocked up to do battle in the kitchen later this afternoon.

Enjoy this wonderful day everyone!

Good Morning Faberoonies!

Whew... t'was a busy day yesterday but much was accomplished! Mr. Wonderful was going to take my temperature because well... Christmas is 2 weeks away and I
1. Am done shopping
2. Am done wrapping
Poor man was getting worried. It's a first, that's for sure! :H

A somewhat bittersweet moment last night. Although I can't put finish on the just completed wall in the barn aisle (too cold) I got it sanded and declared usable. So, my lovely Sophie was the first to move into the barn - even if just in spirit.



Going to be working more on the feed/tack room today, no problem finishing those walls because the room is heated and insulated. Also son and g/f are due to arrive some time today to find their Christmas tree on our property I still remember my first tree in my teeny-weeny first little apartment in Hamburg (Germany).. cut it at a tree farm and it looked just perfect until I tried getting it through the door :H

Bear - have fun at the photo shoot and take it easy... a stroll like Greenie may be wiser than a power walk!

Greenie - you are absolutely special. Everyone knows that, silly girl

Marshy - I hope you're having a smashing good time! Don't try and impress the kids - just be yourself

Blondie - EEK on the furnace! Stay warm!

Well, I should probably get moving - have a Super AF Sunday!

Good morning Abbers!

Bright & chilly in these parts today ~ beginning to feel like Christmas

bear, take care of the back, ouch!

Greenie, you are special to me

Marshy, the trick with kids is to ask them what they like, what they like to do, etc. Keep the conversation all about them! Have fun!

Blondie, it's pretty chilly to be going without a heater - hope you get it fixed quick!!!!

Hi 4theboyz! Let us know how dinner turned out.

Sunni, sounds like you are putting your AF energy to good use!
I'm glad Ms Sophie has a place of honor in your new barn.

That reminds me, I'd better get outside & feed & water my feathered friends before they turn to canibalism :H

Have a great AF Sunday one & all!

Morning abbers!

Sorry, I'm zooming this morning to get little uni off to hockey so I can't comment on everyone's post but I hope everyone has an awesome day! Sunni, the tack room looks great!

I have had really bad stomache pain for the past couple of days, feels like an ulcer almost, just empty and really sore. Hope it's nothing serious. I see the doctor this week so I'll ask her.

Okay, gotta fly, one thing is for sure today!

hey all - just had mega snooze after photo shoot - they were individual head shots - so came home after that.I just had brunch of cheese omelette with toast marmite and peanut butter and a mini choc cheesecake - that's not sugar right?

Off to return 4 of my 8 dresses - wearing one today - short kimono style with thick tights and biker boots. Then train to London/negotiating lack of circle line on the tube.
Meeting friend and my bloke at 5 so just need to clean teeth/put on more make up/perfume and hit the road. I am gonna walk into town so that will be my exercise .

@Greenie - was thinking of doing deep stretches each am - last time I had back trouble like this it was partly caused by tight quads and a weak core. Think I can remember exercises the trainer gave me - four years ago now!!

Good day everyone - I need to get going - again!

Wow Bear you are on a tear. How did your hair turn out for the pictures? Tack room looks lovely Sunshine. I am off to get a Christmas tree. Been going to the gym with my daughter that is such much better than going by yourself. She put some funky music on my shuffle so I can actually break a sweat.

Might have the opportunity to go to London in March. My BFF can get an apartment for a week. I am hoping that comes through.

Have a great Sunday all...one thing for sure.

Good morning fellow Fabululaters, us and Yoko Ono right? Or Berundian Throat Singers....

GreenGirl you rock. I would like to go on your River walk then coffee. And you can come out on the water with me any time. Except maybe now as it's 10 below C.

How about skiing on the Canada trail instead?

Bear, you sound so focused centered and set Well done bear.
Marshy, Lavs advice is good. Also looking them straight in the eyes when you talk to them. They can sense friendliness. They like to be treated as equals getting down on their level physically, just be all about them and what they are doing wearing playing with thinking about and pretty soon you'll be number one!

Uni. Hope you feel better soon.

Blond still waiting for a stove report...

Sunni and Sid, howzitgoin eh? Translation: Can you ladies help me with this bag of kippers?



Shouts out to Lav, p3' m3,

Cross post Det, hey. Nice little strap on cam that. Not too expensive either.

As beautiful as the video is I kind of object to all that jet fuel, red bull and dune scarring in the cause of selling a vid cam tho. I have over the years noticed that there is a whole generation of megalomaniac wilderness experiencers out there ice climbing up crevasses, sky diving into lakes, snowmobiling off cornices, sometimes injuring themselves fatally, leaving a mess behind them, all in the name of conquering nature. I kind of like to leave no trace and experience it with respect. Or even just try to learn from it. The FN people I know say to me, the land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.

But it's still very lively young fast moving beautiful video.
