Three day weekend here, too. Going to my parent's to do the winter pruning, watch football, eat well. I may be scarce on SR.
There's an appalling lack of music on a music weekender thread.

Picked up two bottles of my fave iced tea: Tejava. Waiting for my closest friend and her hubby to get home so we can hang out.
Did my AA mtg at the local Alano club. One of my fave meetings because there is so much good sobriety in the room. A guy I like to hear from when he shares picked up his 29th year chip tonight. Good sharing on the 2nd and 3rd step.
All these things make it easy for this alcoholic not to drink on this 20th day sober.

I'm in and looking forward to a relaxing weekend. It's a three-day weekend here. Might try to catch "Selma," if it's still in theaters. More likely, I'll wait until I can watch it at home.
Olive and I definitely will be watching NFL football on Sunday by the fire.

Congrats on all that are in the beginning stages of their new lives. This thread saved me in the beginning, that's for sure. I was thinking that I must have been the only person in the world that wasn't getting elegantly wasted with wine. Coming here and seeing that a. It can be done and b. These people are FUNNY sure helped.
I have zero music to add at present, although my before mentioned sickie boys ringtone is **** O 'Reilly ...

This is my kind of music, Take 5 and have a listen 
Just made some red beans and rice on the stove, added a little BBQ sauce. Enjoying a quiet Thursday night, let the tunes roll....

Whoa! Busy thread already! Ellay, I hope your son is feeling better soon. Poor guy.
Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins opened a tea shop in one of the north suburbs of Chicago. Keeping him busy I guess although I heard on the radio that they are releasing two albums this year.
I was thinking of Pete Townsend this morning, thanks PK.
Long day. And venting. Left work late as I sometimes do when I have a day off I don't normally do. Took a couple of hours to get home because the expressway was super slow. Probably. to as slow as side streets but hey,the scenic route. I had to stop to pay Mr. Ruby's cellphone bill and while I was there he called, cranky as all get out, get home now, where are you, blah, blah, blah. He needed a cigarette. So I rushed home. He bestirred himself to make dinner which was a steak I had bought earlier in the week. I heard it was delicious because no one saved me any. I arrived home to a counter and sink stacked with dirty dishes. So no one saved me dinner AND I had to clean up after everyone.
I know Trach suggested last week I cut my husband some slack as he was withdrawing because I know what it's like but here's the other side of the coin. The sober spouse is Cinderella before the prince enters the picture. He sobers up "I'll never do it again, I'm done, I'm so sorry" spends all his time in bed recuperating, and asks that I cut him slack, don't hassle him, he doesn't need the pressure right now. Then when he feels better he goes right back out there. Starting all over again. I'm left doing most of everything around the house in addition to working full time. Not asking for sympathy, just letting off some steam. Some of those cozy empty taverns I passed on the side streets home looked a little too inviting for comfort.
Time to get the kids in bed. It's good to see everyone.

Ruby, has he gone off the reservation again? I hope not as you deserve better.
As we want people to forgive us our falters and failures, we should forgive others. When we can't do that, it's time to leave.
I found this today and it was fitting that I found it today. I made some serious improvements for the company in my new job and stunned people. My thought of the day was "This is how the Pros do it".
Ok, THIS is how the Pros do a music thread!

I'm on the bus in the back where all the fun is at.
I have class work already, so I have course work this weekend. I have an assignment in which I have to start looking for a job and post what I found. I have found internships, so I started applying for internships since I need to get one this summer. All I know is that applying for internships and looking for jobs is stirring up my AV something fierce. It's been a real battle this evening, but I'm okay. It all has to do with self-doubt. I know the drinking isn't going to make me feel any better about myself, but worse, so it's not worth it.
We are going out to dinner with some work colleagues tomorrow to some restaurant we've never been to. No temptation to drink in a new place.

I am in!
Exhausted from the week and so looking forward to the weekend!
I know you all have said how to post these videos, but my brain just can't do it right now.
Turtle, would you play Bobby Darin, Mack the Knife for me?
It is my absolute most favorite song ever.
