It's Friday!!!!Trying to get to Pease tonight at 3 AM to greet homecoming soldiers and then hitting breakfast aftewards with the girls!
I have an increasing network of sober friends and I am growing to love them!
My daughter's People Watching Club (yes there is one) is going to Fanuel Hall. I sent her to college for this.. Half will all dress in black tshirts and walk silently around in a single file line around the market with huge grins on their faces. The other half will observe peoples reaction. She is the treasurer and is plotting fundraising ideas to take a field trip to Montreal. Cracks me up.
My friends will be taking me on a kayaking weekend next month to celebrate the big 5-0! These are my "normal" girlfriends. One of them left me a mysterious message that she had a few questions for me. She is the one that the rest of the group worries about in terms of drinking. They didn't worry about me. Probably because I was always a relatively "happy" drunk. So I projected the phone message and thought perhaps she wanted to ask questions about AA. I had an entire 12th step going on in my head. Well, no. She wanted to know if I would let them celebrate my birthday. Very considerate and I love these girls. How could I say no even though I wanted the day to just pass by.
My husband is cool about all these girls' weekends and retreats. He has really been so supportive if not baffled by my metamorphosis (thanks for the word Michael) into a sober woman. And the cooler he is the more I want to spend time with him. Strange turn of events.
I am going to get together in the next week or so with another sober woman I met through my blog. Really looking forward to that though its a bit scary. You know, meeting for the first time someone who knows all about me. I think she should start a blog too so I can learn more about her (hint, hint)
My son is way to busy to get into anymore trouble.
I am sober.

Having friends is a great thing. It sounds like you are enjoying the sober life. That's a great thing.
Hoorah!!
that people watching club actually sounds like it could be a lot of fun... must be the latent child in me.
nice group of friends you've got there, you lucky one... kayaking, sounds great.
my, my. kids across the world and the same games. and yes, he's looking at getting the skatepark too. but he's gotta save some money first.
great positive post today darlin'..you sound great!
You sound so upbeat and full of energy, I could almost feel it infecting me as I read your post.
People Watching Club, that sounds unusual?
Anyway I hope you have had a great weekend, you know I was a miserable drunk who in the end preferred to drink alone, I am still finding it hard to make friends but its coming, I guess I lack so much confidence in myself socially
