Lazy Saturday

Today's one of those lazy, rainy days where it's sooooo easy just to sleep really late, crawl out of bed at the crack of noon, sip coffee and visit my fellow blogging peeps. So, even though I feel a little guilty about being so lazy, I'm going to luxuriate in these moments for a bit longer...

And, then I'll go make my hubby some WAFFLES!!! (Yeah, come on over—you're ALL invited!)

Lazy Saturday Gratitude:
  • Lazy, rainy Saturday mornings

  • Awesome blogging peeps

  • Awesome sober women

  • My sweet, handsome husband

  • My sweet, adorable (and handsome) kit-kat-kitten, Boots

  • Waffles

  • Eight O'Clock French Roast coffee

  • The Internet

  • A very mild, uneventful hurricane season for South Florida

  • Waking up without a sinus headache

  • 49 consecutive hangover-free mornings

  • Real butter

  • Real maple syrup

  • Waffles

  • A gym membership which can be utilized to work off the above!

  • The willingness to face up to and work through 49 years of crap

  • The desire, willingness, and ability to do so without picking up a drink

  • My HP, who will make that possible for me

  • An awesome support network, including a compassionate counselor

  • Self-storage facilities (R's finally agreed, and without too much nagging!)

  • Oh, and did I mention??... WAFFLES!!!

You deserve to hang tight and cozy in bed. Espicially on a rainy day, it is oh so inviting! I missed out on the waffles, I bet they were so good.

Congrats to your 49th day today! Have a great weekend, stay dry.

Ah yes, the ancient tradition of waffle therapy. A very powerful spiritual practice from what I have heard. I find that after the 5th, the world has indeed taken on an entirely different complexion! Much like the view of the world after the tub of Ben and jerry's is empty. Marvelous!
Have a nice weekend!

MMmmmmmm waffles. YUM!

49 days hangover free is a great reason to be lazy and make waffles.

Yay!

You go, girl! Keep blogging and more will be revealed. I find so much inspiration in each meeting I attend if I listen for the theme of the meeting and how it relates to self-centered me. Keep on trudging!

Great list. I really enjoyed reading it.

Mmm - waffles. You actually grabbed my attention b/c I am a sober designer, too. Weird because is it almost 5 am here & I woke up from a strange dream, where I was in this Graphic Design class with a bunch of alcoholic designers. Then I feel like reading and there you are. Congrats on all of your sobriety & keep hangin in there. (keep making those gratitude lists, too, to remind me to do it).

Welcome IFOB, TDB and LM! Yeah, thanks to Blogger, everyone missed the waffles (I think Mary Christine caught a whiff of them baking...). Oh, well, there's always next Saturday!
