Have a great mother’s day Kathryn. Actually I think your mother’s day is over now and mine here in Canada is just beginning. Well, I hope it was a good day for you. I had asked my three kids to get me a framed photo of the three of them to put on my desk at work, for mother’s day. My daughter came over about 2 months ago and said, mom – remember how you wanted that picture for mother’s day? She then handed me an ultrasound picture, she was three months pregnant. Yes, she can make me cry too and I think she had every intention of doing that. I can’t believe that next year my little girl will be celebrating this day as a mom herself. Well, I’m off to get ready for a visit from my youngest. Take care – Debbie
Have a terrific Mother’s Day Bettie. Hope you’re able to relax (even if it’s after a work out). I wanted to go for a walk with the dog and my youngest son today but the weather here decided not to cooperate, it’s raining and overcast. There’s still a few hours so perhaps it will clear up. Otherwise, I think I’ll torture my son by making him watch a chick flick with me, lol. Have a good one – Debbie
Bettie I am so happy you are taking care of yourself. When we are gambling we tend to forget about that. I have been taking inventory over the past month and there are so many personal things I’ve let go. I went to the dentist yesterday and it’s been a long long time. I need to focus on losing some weight myself, I could lose 30-40 pounds and still not be where I want to be. I wake up every morning with a smoker’s cough and have been telling myself for years that it’s time to quit. Perhaps this is the time – I’m cranky from not gambling, why not go whole hog? I haven’t bought any nice cloths or done my makeup properly in so long either. My sole focus was on getting to the casino each day, and NOTHING was going to deter me or take up any of my time. Thank you for reprinting your post, it means alot to me that you took the time to find that for me and it did sink in. I’ve wasted so many years of my life to this addiction and I’m getting too old to waste anymore. – Deb
I really am starting to think you are my evil twin, lol. You just had to go and say that line, didn’t you. "you want to shut the door and leave the window open". Between you and Harry I’m now probably going to be up all night, thinking and analyzing myself. Gee whiz, I just conquer the GA meeting and now I’ve got to deal with this. Luv ya – Deb
Larry, I DID IT!!! I went to GA, what a great experience. So silly to be scared of it. I’m very proud of myself right now to find that I actually do have a little control over this, so exhillarating (probably spelled that wrong). I should have worded that differently, I found I still have a little SELF-control left. I even liked myself tonight. Thanks for your support, Debbie
Hey twin gf. Sure hope you’re feeling better. I love recliners but know that every time I sit down in one I’m not getting up for a long long time. Work was stressful for me again yesterday but the boss was away on a conference so I didn’t feel as pressured. She’s back today and I’m dreading going in because I had to leave a few things unfinished yesterday. She piles the pressure on to hit targets, but I guess that the you-know-what flows downhill so she’s probably getting the same from her superiors. Anyways, time to get ready and then I’ll go in and face the music. Are you cats declawed? Debbie
Oh Velvet, your post here brought back memories and made me laugh. The last time I went shopping with the boyfriend was just over a year ago for a dress for me to wear to my daughter’s wedding. I finally found one that I loved but it was too tight and the store called around but didn’t have one a size smaller. Upon leaving the store my boyfriend remarked that I should have bought the dress, all I needed to do was lose approximately 20 pounds over the next 3 weeks and it would fit. That would have been the first and the last time we went clothes shopping together. I’ve also given up taken him grocery shopping since I am the one who pays for the groceries, when he went with me (once or twice over 3 years) I spent triple the normal amount and found things in my cart which I would never had purchased if I had gone alone. Anyways, sorry to get off track on your thread Kathryn, but I can relate to the shopping story. I really think it’s best to go alone or with a friend. Debbie
Bettie, I met you in chat the other day and you told me that if I could find the time that I should read your journal. Well, I’ve done it, all 208 pages. What a strong, beautiful person you are. I found alot of very inspiring posts and am so glad I had a chance to chat with you and get to know you through your words. You made a difference for me and thank you. Debbie
