OMG… the magical bottle appeared today. I still have a half a bottle behind it that was leftover from the 2 bottles I bought the Monday before New Year’s. I just got over the worse hangover I’ve had in a long time from drinking a bottle and a half in one night! I am NOT interested in drinking anything right now. Wine…

I'm back this month. Get 2025 off on the right foot. I'm going to weigh-in on Mondays, so I know how much work I have ahead of me each week. It usually sets the tone for my determination for the week. This month might be a little hard simply because I have a my 50th birthday party this month, but one day shouldn't kill the…

Happy New Year everyone! I spent New Year's Day battling the worst hangover I have had in a long time, and I felt incredibly stupid. I just didn't realize how much I was drinking. I definitely did not intend to drink as much as I did. It was ridiculous if I'm being completely honest. I have no intentions of doing that…

AF - 19 A - 12 I had a wonderful NYE, until I woke up New Year’s Day with a horrible hang over. So dumb of me!

I’m in… Goals for January 2025 - get my drinking back to where it was before November and get back to losing weight. I gained a bunch back. I can’t afford to do that! Happy New Year everyone!

AF - 17 A - 12 Counting tonight as AF since I’m still sick.

AF - 15 A - 12 Drank the last of the mulled wine last night. This morning I woke up with a full blown head cold and no voice! I guess it is a good excuse to lay around and be lazy.

AF - 15 A - 11 It’s a good thing I don’t make mulled wine year round. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@globalhiker fortunately mine are not that bad, but they are pretty bad. I drinking definitely triggers them, but I have noticed eating has triggered it too. Sugar hasn’t affected me much, but that’s to my downfall with all the cookies and candy currently in our house. Fortunately, I don’t have to cook for a little bit. I…

AF - 15 A - 10 Kept it AF last night to avoid the hot flashes, but it didn’t work. Oh well. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know I did. Faith, family, and food… best 3 Fs in the world. 😁

AF - 14 A - 10 Had eggnog after church with hubby last night, but it wasn’t a full glass because I wasn’t feeling great. @SurferGirl1982 i think I’m actually having hot flashes again. At first, they were happening only at night. So, I naturally thought it was the wine. But, yesterday, I was having them on and off all day…

AF - 14 A - 9 It is probably time to stop all together. I drink even 1 glass and I’m in night sweats for half the night. It’s become more of a thing these past couple months that I’ve been drinking more again. I’m going to have to just bite the bullet and avoid it, and talk to hubby about the “magically appearing wine…

AF - 14 A - 8 Definitely did not make it to Christmas. Oh well, it is what it is. Been cooking and baking like crazy. I’m still not done, and we still have Christmas gifts to buy and wrap. I’m so far behind, I think I’m first.🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

AF - 14 A - 4 The craziest thing has happened this week! I have been called twice, once by my former employer and now by my current employer, offering me a new job. Both roles are in project management and would mean a pay bump (a substantial one). One would be a promotion, but the other I’d have to go through the whole…

AF - 13 A - 4 I took about a week long break for walking because my hip was hurting so bad. But, I couldn’t do it anymore. I had to start walking again. The pain isn’t there when I walk. It’s just when I sit down. I’ve started taking my vitamins and meds again, too. I’m horrible at doing it. I’ve set alarms and asked my…

I’m glad you’re an optimist! I try to be but fall short too often. The wallet is very hard to pry open! I asked him last night about a budget. He asked how much I needed. Lol… I’m an event planner for the military, I don’t create the budgets… I plan within them. He looked at me with a straight face and said, “$200?” 🤣 🤣🤣🤣…

OMG!!!! My husband can be the biggest do-do bird!! He thought my birthday weekend was the 18-19th. My birthday is on Monday, Jan 13th, I was planning my birthday for the weekend of the 11-12th. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Party is on, and hubby got a lesson in birthday weekends. And I apologized to him…

@chicbuc i don’t know much about dance, but your grandson definitely looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥in the pictures you shared! To those who suggested doing a girl’s weekend and a party the weekend before or after, great in theory but a mess in practice. Of course, this whole birthday seems that way at this point. But, I’m considering…

AF - 9 A - 4 Husband came in yesterday and said, “I have good news and bad news.” The good news is that Special Olympics is paying for him and my son to travel to Myrtle Beach for a Leadership Conference, and he believes it’s because they are going to announce my son will be going to Nationals to compete. Very exciting!…

Thanks, I do appreciate all the empathy for my situation. Everyone is so kind to listen to me b@tch all the time. I feel like I don’t have any positive thoughts anymore. My daughter really is loving skating. It’s something we have in common. I think I spent 1983-1990 on roller skates. I would skate on my driveway, in the…

AF - 9 A - 2 Work is slowing a little. There’s always an ebb during December for anything dealing with the military. I work with military chaplains (don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that). It’s interesting how I get treated. This past weekend was wild because I had 13 events I planned happening. I had 5 events have…

AF - 8 A - 2

AF = 6 A = 1 I didn’t make it to Christmas. 😕 But, I didn’t drink last night with a bottle of wine sitting open on my counter. It was the night before. I took my daughter and her friend skating yesterday. Then, I took them for cupcakes as a birthday treat for the friend. Her friend mentioned something about getting a book…

And there it is! The magically appearing bottle… 😔 Today hasn’t been good. 1. MIL’s neurosurgeon called. After reviewing the MRI results and consulting other neurosurgeons, he believes it is unsafe to proceed with surgery. Hubby had to have a talk with her about getting long-term care insurance because she’s just not going…

@SurferGirl1982 we put up lights every year. As much as my husband hates climbing a ladder and getting on the roof, he likes the lights too. I refuse to decorate until after Thanksgiving because I firmly believe each holiday should be celebrated in its time. I hate seeing Christmas stuff before Halloween in the stores! One…

I wish it were the wind. It’s a combination or litter bugs and contractors that don’t tarp their loads or throw trash in the bed of their truck and it just blows out. It’s all over our area. Littering in this area just seems to be the thing to do. Streets are just covered. I live in the county, so the city won’t do…

YES!!! This happens to me regularly! I try, but things just get in the way it seems. Every time I vow not to miss a walk, a million things will happen at work and I have to work through my designated walk time, or I’ll have some kind of pain, or my husband planned something else for us, or any number of things. I’ve just…

AF = 4 A = 0 Tonight I pulled all the old broken lights off my Christmas wreath and mantle garland and restrung them with new lights. I was very proud of myself for not putting it off any longer. Maybe I will make that bread on Saturday if I can keep this kind of momentum. 😉 Today, I got a call from a coworker who has been…

AF = 3 A = 0 MIL had her MRI yesterday, and now we wait to see when the dr will schedule the surgery. Everyone seems to be starting off December with great numbers and/or attitude. The struggle is real right now for me. It’s taking a lot of effort for me not to go to the store. Friday isn’t too far away, and I know I’ll…

Thank you everyone for the prayers and kind thoughts and words. @itladyee I forgot to announce that I DID get a raise! 😁 It wasn’t as much as I hoped, but something is definitely better than nothing! My HR rep said that my management team was incredibly happy with my work and wanted to give me what I requested.…
