Sunday (Plumber again on Monday)

It must the time of year for plumbing problems! Less than a month ago, we had the plumbing people here, didn't fix the problem. Coming back tomorrow to "blow out pipes" and that is several hundred dollars. Geez! Not a great thing to happen at Christmas.

Our granddaughter, Lachlan, is crawling!!! She's only ten months old and is scooting around everywhere. We are so proud!

I have a meeting tonight so, more later......

The Sunday after Thanksgiving

We all had a wonderful time together. Greg, Mackie and Lachlan left for New Orleans after lunch today. I miss Lachlan. Gerrie and Brandon will be here tonight and Gerrie works tomorrow, then goes back to Atlanta Tuesday after work.

Everyone got a sorta, maybe Christmas list. But we have to firm up a lot of that.

The Tigers lost to the Gamecocks. The first time in 40 years that the Cocks have beat the Tigers two times in a row. What is happening?? Is the SEC that much stronger than the ACC?? What does the future hold for the Tigers and coaches?!!

More later....

Happy Thanksgiving

We are celebrating our holiday tomorrow b/c Gerrie has to work at St. Francis today. That's alright. Brandon's folks are joining us. We are really enjoying our Lachlan. She is so adorable and happy. Such a smiley baby. She's crawling backwards! Don't know when she will go forward. Mackie and Greg went to see the latest Harry Potter movie. And we are babysitting!! I love it!! Brandon is having lunch with his parents.

We are all going out to dinner tonight at PF Chang's or Lieu's, not my favorite, but Ronnie loves it. Anyway, as long as I have my family together, I really don't care.

More later.....

Sunday Night Meeting

Every Sunday I always go to my meeting. I enjoy this time to learn, and build up my resistance to alcohol. Any addiction is a disease, and it is the disease of addiction that keeps me in AA. Apparently, I have an addiction to alcohol. Some experts call it an "allergy" to it. Which only means that you can't have it, as you would not have nuts if you're allergic to those.

We ate lunch at MiMi's today. Really good restaurant, but don't get anything with their brown gravy on it. It's too rich and salty and ruins the dish. Otherwise one of my favorites!

Have to go now, more later....

Friday

Mammogram today.  Otherwise this has been a relaxing day for me.  I needed it after this week from hell.  I know it could have worse, but doesn't everyone think that? 

I dread getting my boobs squished between two very cold pieces of hard plastic to be x-rayed.  Do we all have too many tests and too much radiation.  Something to think about.

More later... 

Perm Wednesday

I hate having perms put in my hair.  My mama started giving me home perms when I was just seven years old and when I grew I continued the hateful tradition.  Really can't blame Mama, it was the "in" thing to do for children with "fine" hair.  And all the women in our family and extended family had their hair permed every six months.  Well, now I have to have my 60ish hair done every three months and it does make my hair a little easier to deal with most of the time. 

Tonight is meeting night for me.  I hope I can bring up a subject or at least comment on the subject of the night.  I am still not comfortable with sharing, fearing that I may say something inappropriate.  Sooner of later, I will have to share because I believe it is good for one's sobriety and emotional well-being.

One day at a time...
