I thought I would check in to see how things are going and I immediately see that connery pic... I almost choked ...

since all I had was a salad for linner, I am having a snack now... the PA late snack of cheese, pretzels, ham chunks - no mustard - and olives/peppers/pickle

what is known around these parts as a dutch platter - no balogna

living large... I make the wife meals and I just pick... well the salad was good...

My image of Sean Connery is forever ruined! I can't see Jedward so can't even comment on that, but I want to thank Ruby for reminding everyone that Justin Bieber is indeed Canadian. At least the US is off the hook for that one!

I'll send a PM to Middy, too......I was thinking about her today .

Well....going to the zoo with my godson and his mom on Friday! He calls all animals 'puppy' and points with his chubby little finger (he's very advanced for a 12 month old lol!). Can't wait for him to see all the animals. Of course, he'll probably only notice the sparrows lol!

I've hit a new low. French fries and Hershey's miniatures for dinner, although I did have an apple and v8 for lunch so kinda evens things out

Trach....it is beautiful! I got choked up reading it

Jsbodhi

You guys can keep Justin, your country ruined him- he was fine when he left.....

Jsbodhi

Agreed, very nice thread trach! Xx

I need to ask for help.
My mind won't leave me alone
I keep thinking about drinking this last couple hours.
Nothings wrong, I'm actually HAPPY, that's probably why- everything has been fantastic.
I'm not on the edge or anything, could just use some words to get me thinking straight again.

Jsbodhi

I'm not lonely, hungry, tired or lonely.
Bored? That's my big trigger- boredom.

Jen - remember the insomnia and overall icky physical crap!!! You always say how awful you feel when you drink. Do you want to ruin how well things are going with all that??

MLD51

Go for a walk or paint or do yoga. Do some work in one of your online classes. Anything but drinking.

Jsbodhi

Thanks mld: I think I'm good, once I said it out loud I realized how ludicrous an idea that would be.
I ate the entire pizza, put my pyjamas on and will start my online classes.
I was going to go swim laps at the university; but I don't fully trust myself in the car, so I'll just kinda lock myself in the house tonight.

Goodnight, everyone. I have an early day tomorrow. A three-hour orientation for my part-time. It's weird ... it's almost silly because I've worked there in the garden center tending the plants since October. I've become friends with everyone in the garden center already. I was just working under an independent company, a sort of middle-man company. Now, I'll work directly for the big company. Doing pretty much the same job. At least I won't feel "new" tomorrow at my orientation.

It's funny ... I sought out this job because I wanted to work with plants. And it's low stress. I never imagined I'd become such good friends with the employees. I don't mind dealing with the customers sometimes either. Most of the time, everything is enjoyable. Really happy things turned out this way.

Soberpotamus

Jen, I often drank when I was happy and upbeat. I know how that goes. Just remember ... it's going to cause you anxiety and maybe even depression later.

So, just say 'No' tonight, in order to keep your sanity for tomorrow. That's a great incentive.

Jen, you'll weather this storm. The clouds pass quickly -- just let them pass by.

Jsbodhi

Thanks team, I'm good now, was just a weird couple of hours.
Xoxo

Glad you're ok Jen xoxo

Potamus....have fun in your orientation! I've made lots of friends at my part time job, too, and not just the girls I work with. All sorts of people from all over the city and it's one of the things I love most about my job!

Oh...forgot to tell y'all about my finds at Target. Swimsuits....buy one got one half off!! I got two bikinis and two one piece suits for me and swim trunks and a swim shirt for my godson and lots of Easter stuff...glassware and craft stuff for making cards and baskets! Oh, and I got a cute sundress too! I seriously could go broke in that place but the prices are so good I don't feel as guilty! Yay!

OK, Jen ~

Think Happy Thoughts. You're at a Truck Stop in a totally tricked-out Semi Truck with fellow Canadian Justin Bieber; said to be worth $200 Million.

See how much better that makes you feel?

Jen, think of how disgusting you felt when you first saw that Sean Connery picture and multiply that by ten. Throw a little jedward into that. Eye bleach. Marty, I'm still laughing out loud at that. Thanks for the good humor.
