Whoa! Ozzy's way deeper than I thought he was!

This will be another first for me.....a sober Memorial Day weekend! Who knew such things existed?!? At 5 1/2 months sober I don't get panicky about holidays and such anymore. I love my new status as a non drinker and will never go back to that old life!

Mr Chill, brynn
This will be my first sober memorial weekend as an adult too. Well at least since I was about 20. 36 now! Crazy!

You go Brynn!! Did the storms wake you this morning? I had to be peeled off the ceiling after one of those thunder claps! So got up at 4:00 am. Not a decent time for man nor beast.

And you go too Getting Smarter!

Art, The thunder got me big time. It was cool. I had to wake up anyway at 4 and the universe decided to do it for me. Better than my wake up ring tone.

Art....my electricity went out about that time and the boom scared the crap outta me! It's cold today! I bought new swimsuits for this weekend but don't think I'll be using them! Ha!

GS....I'm 37 and haven't had a sober Memorial Day since I was 15! Yikes!

Oh dear, Ireland did not make it into the final of the Eurovision song contest. A great blow to our national pride once again. We should have entered this horse song:

It would have been nice to have storms. None for us. Clouds and chill burned off and it's now sunny and lovely.

And I'm on the train instead of driving today! I'm so excited about that.

Yay Brynn on 5.5 months. What an accomplishment.

Jennie, I feel your pain. I just finished online cyber security training about forty minutes ago. 22 mini videos of four minutes or less. Ugh!

Wow! It's only 3PM on thursday and it's already to page 5? Impressive!

Someday I'll ride shotgun, but alas, today is not that day.

Since you all did SO well keeping me sober last weekend, I'm back again for weekend #2!

Off work at the moment, so pretty much everyday is weekend. Holidays don't change much for me!

Haha! It may not be the most insightful way to phrase it, but I too spend half the year living on a tour bus, and it is totally different!

Memorial Day weekend. The unofficial start of summer. As has been said, the start of drinking season, summer partying season.

I'm not preaching or admonishing now but, let's sober up. This is the day dedicated to those who have served and those who have died for us. FOR. US.

Living a sober, productive life in honor of them may be the best way to do so.

Goodness! That nearly crossed over into Waterboys territory at the end.

Tis a lamentable turn of events for sure.
