One Year & Over Part 33 |
Shotgun!!! |
Thanks, Dee - I think it has been a few years since my last shotgun :-). I still remember the cool wheels of Pink Elephant's that I got to drive. Itchy, that was a hilarious post, I'm still laughing! :lmao Happy holidays to all! |
Christmas Eve eve... if that is a valid concept. Have most things done, lucky I do not have to buy for a huge family or lots of people. I told my son all I want is salad dressing he can get in St Louis ( a local restaurant brand) and a special bottle of olive oil. I am easy to please. Used to be I gave lots of booze and got it back as well. Having Christmas dinner at my "family of choice" which I have done for the past 4-5 years. We have a theme each year, something non-traditional and fun. Last year was tapas and then a big paella for dinner. This year is sushi and then soba noodles and shrimp, seaweed salad and vegetable tempura. Green tea and sweet bean ice cream for dessert. Weather had been unseasonably warm, but has dropped a lot this PM. I am going to enjoy a glass of eggnog (my weakness, but not with rum as I usually did) and finish a writing project I have. All from here! :grouphug: |
Oops forgot Snoozy the doozy! Hey kiddo! In all honesty, no one can give us joy, peace, or love. Only my sobriety made it possible again. I have no control over alcohol, I admitted that and it pixed me off enough to make up my mind to put it down for good. I do however have total control over my sobriety. And like the self-respect I took back with my sobriety, I will never relinquish them again. I have complete control of my sobriety because by definition I am NOT under the influence of any substance. Thanks guys for taking my journey with me too. Now, could you pass the whirled peas please? |
Morning overs Nicely said itchy. Thanks for the new thread, Dee. |
Thanks D Hello Overs wishing everyone a nice Christmas |
I'm just about ready to hit the road. Driving to Minnesota (700 miles round-trip) to spend X-mas with the family. Last year was pretty subdued because of Dad's passing, so this year should be a little more upbeat. Will get Mom over to my brother's house for get-togethers both tonight and tomorrow. Wishing a Very Merry Crimble to all the overs! |
Sigh... the top lights on my pre-lit Christmas tree are out. :headbange I am just fussy enough to go out and get a set and string it on the tree. Maybe. :Xmasta Got cooler late yesterday, but still supposed to be in 50's (10c) for the next few days. Hope for a quiet day and then Midnight Mass tonight. First time in years no Christmas singing... sort of missed it.. sort of didn't. If I don't get back on :Xmasmca to all the Overs! |
