Weeeeeekenderrrrrsssss!!! What a sight for sore eyes. Literally. I need a nap. But first, grilled cheese. THEN I'm sure I'll have the energy to go for a long walk. (Or...I may just stick to the iPad on the couch with yall. It's a rather comfy spot.)

I'm at my friend's wedding.
This is actually the most enjoyable wedding I have been at, probably since none of my family are here.

I have also discovered that it's better to be on the dance floor with your friends, then necking wine in the corner and being a wallflower.

Dance on people!!

Totally exhausted and flopped out on couch with pup who is already snoring. Quite a reverse from what Friday nights looked like long ago; I so look forward to the peace and serenity I feel on Saturday and Sunday mornings now. Happy Friday sober weekenders!

That sounds like it would be good!
I decided to stop eating intentional sugar at the beginning of April, hoping it would relieve my perpetual headache.
Hasn't really worked as I still get headaches, but it is helping with the loss of those few pounds of winter weight.
I shall search for corn ice cream when I decide to start moderating again.

Weekend can begin for me now! Friday done! I have a whole lot of nothing planned for the next two days, and I am looking forward to it!

Eeeewww. I'm sure a little taste of it would be okay, but I'm guessing a whole coneful would be rough sleddin'. For me, that is.

Like many here I am enjoying a relaxing Friday night. Went to the market and grocer after work and picked up some healthy essentials: pineapple, yogurt, veggies, and seltzer water. Got home just as it started to rain...alas it's died off. Was hoping for much rain but not gonna happen. Oh well.

Spent an hour on the phone today with the I.R.S! Well, spent 58 minutes on hold and 2 minutes speaking with them. Have to iron out some back taxes from 2013 (guess who was drinking back in 2013?) Regardless, it's good to get it on the table and set things right. Going to fill out some new forms and get it squared away in a couple of weeks.

Work has been super slow lately and vacation season is here. Booked a flight to Costa Rica in a couple of weeks, will fly into San Jose and then take a tiny little Cessna down to the South Caribbean to stay in a little cabin on the beach. I spent x-mas down there as well, great little spot.

Turning on the ballgame, thanks to the World Wide Web and MLB.TV I can watch my team from anywhere. Have a great sober evening everyone!

What's bright red, lime green and black and orange?
Me when I looked in the mirror after I returned from an ICE CREAM run. Working on the side of the house I had this incredible craving for ice cream. Colombian coffee flavor from t-hill. handful of almonds and a squirt of chocolate flavored sugar syrup. Living large here. Then I downed a beef kielbasa right off the grill dipped in mustard.

I think I could handle corn flavor ice cream. I just don't think I could handle the idea of it. It sorta reminds me of something else with corn in it. Think corny road like rocky road... NO NO NO NO NOPE NO NO

I have a ton of sun block. But I didn't think spending all day doing yard work - mostly cloudy - would turn me into a cooked lobster. Weird thing is I got out the SPF 50 last night when I took a shower so I would have it for yard work. My 2 dollar safety green sleeveless tee and a flyers hat really brings out the red on me.

Just checking in at 9:30. Been offered plenty of drinks while at the bachelor party, but no actual peer pressure.

Having a good time while not drinking. Planning to call it a night around 11 and go back to the hotel on my own though. Don't think I'll handle late night all that well once everyone is good and drunk.

Glad you're having some fun nymets! Hope the rest of the weekend goes well. Keep us posted!

It'll be even better tomorrow when you feel great and everyone else has a bit of a hangover. I never wish ill on people, but it sure does remind me why I quit!

Have fun sober, NYMets. Sounds like you're doing well. Waking up clear eyed and clear headed is great.
