August Mod Squad

[nonamegirl]

Morning, all.
Stewarts, good luck with this new lady. She sounds very sweet, and I know she is not THAT much younger than you. Not as if you are robbing the cradle here. A perfect age difference, in fact. I will keep my fingers crossed, as it might just be the one you are waiting for. I know "she" is out there someplace. And you are very big hearted about the jerk on fb. That is one of the reasons I don't even have a fb presence anymore.

I am doing well this week. We had my brother and sister-in-law over for dinner last night, for some food that my brother and I remember from our childhood. I had gotten about an hour's sleep the night before, so was dragging, but all turned out well. Food was good, company fun, and my sister-in-law enjoyed and then took away the last bottle of wine in the house. I didn't feel too left out at all, not drinking. After no sleep the night before, lots of cooking during the day, I'd have been out in the lawn chair with even one. This way I got to enjoy the whole evening, and slept like a log until 5:30 this morning.

Hey all, thanks NNG, we shall see.....

Oh, as for my buddy, all is good. It was what I thought. He was WASTED! And angry...bad combo. He felt extremely bad about the whole thing. He had a rough day and unfortunately took it out on me. I'm actually ok with it, for real, I told him not to sweat it, we'll hang out soon and I figured it was something like that.

Anyway...other than that... all is good... :-)

Happy Weekend, everyone.
We are having a yard sale today (tag sale, rummage sale, garage sale, name changes with part of the country) and will be very glad when it is over. Should be fun, though!

Today marks day 7 for me in my new plan. So far, all is well, and I am happy. I haven't had any cravings, only the odd moment of nostalgia.

Have fun and stay strong!

Hey, NNG, what's the new plan? You sound pleased. How's the training going?

Well, August is our birthday month. Celebrated dh bd last Wed. Then last night we went to restaurant where they offer you a free entree during your b.d. Month. Saw some friends who invited us to sit with them. They were sharing a bottle of red. We ordered a glass. Talking, enjoying ourselves, ordered another glass. And then on way out ran into some other people and ended up having that 3rd glass. Ugh! It's so true how good intentions go out the window once the alcohol is on board.

Will go over to fitness center and walk/run this a.m. Want to get well hydrated today and play golf tomorrow feeling great. Played on Thursday hungover after b.d. Party. Not pretty. Next Sat is mine. We will be playing our 2nd round in Survivor Championship. Need to make a plan on how to celebrate hopefully another win and my b.d. sensibly! And then I'm sure we will go back to restaurant later in month to get my free dinner. Ok, 1 too many, mark it and move on.

Off to FC.

HI, TMH! How was the birthday? I hope it was wonderful, as you certainly deserve the best.

We are back in town. Spent several days painting at our lake place, continuing to spruce it up, as it is on the market. I cry every time I leave there, as I want to keep it so very badly. I was raised there, and cannot imagine it not being a part of my life. So very sad. Damn it! It is a family place, and my siblings and I just can't seem to work together to hold it, and my husband and I can't afford it on our own. I guess I have to realize how incredibly lucky I have been to have it for as long as I have, and move on. Nothing perfect lasts forever.

We have had a very busy summer, lots of work, quite a bit of fun, still projects on the forefront. There is starting to be a hint of fall in the air in the mornings, and I look forward to a calming of life.

Is everyone away for August? Not much going on here on our own board.

In scotland at the moment. So single malt scotch was had, but just a wee bit

Have to at least try the distillations here, top notch stuff !!

NNG, your Joy in Moderation idea was trounced a bit in the abstaining group.

Knowing I'll still be able to enjoy really fine beverages like Scotland has to offer from time to time, without having to struggle through life with abstinence to me it is A-OK

Plus, they had a beer, that was aged in oak barrels.

Awesome !!!

[nonamegirl]

Hey, Guapo.
Have a lovely lovely time there. Wish I could go some day! What a lovely thing! Enjoy. Interesting about the aged beer ...

Thanks also for the heads up about the trouncing. Sometime when I feel like getting into it with someone, I'll look to see what was said, but honestly, really can't be bothered. Perhaps I should just delete the thread since no one is interested much.

Hey everybody!!!! Happy August!!! I have been trying to moderate.... but hate to say since my doctor told me to keep doing what I was doing cause it was working.... I have taken advantage of it.I haven't even been here in a while... but I miss you guys! And I hate to admit you all are doing so well I feel ashamed! But also encouraged to keep trying.... so thanks for posting!!! Some of us might not comment all the time but we are reading! So please keep posting!!!! I love you guys!!!! And keep up the good work!!!

[ToMyHealth]

New week! Feeling good this a.m. Hope everyone else feels the same.

143 welcome back! No need to feel ashamed; let's look forward.

NNG, thanks so much for b.d. wishes. It was DH on the 6th, mine was just last Sat. Played 2nd round of summer golf tourney. We won and now go to the championship match. So felt great that it was my birthday, we won, and I scored 89. First time I have ever broken 90! Celebrated in club with my favorite - tilapia grilled sandwich and sweet potato fries. Both my ds and dd called later so nice to catch up with them.

How's everyone else doing? Emmy, where are you? Lasha?
