So what I am hearing is that I should ask the bartender to stop mixing my Jack Daniels with coke because the coke is bad for me - that's it I'm going straight up from now on! grin

BA, sit back at the bar!

No, no, no... you can still order the Jack straight up, but it's DIET soda that got the warnings - from the aspartame.

Sheesh. I'll go pour you a double right now...

Voldy just called and she wanted to talk to D19. I told her that D19 wouldn't be home till about 11 pm, as she had a class until 8 pm. So, we talked a bit about how university is going for D19. Voldy says "you seem to be very involved with her and her schooling. Is there something that you're doing that I should be repeating?" Um, stop being a ballistic bitch! OK, that was bad lol. I didn't say that. I just told her that I ask a lot of questions like "what are you doing to keep up your readings like you are? How are you making that happen?" I use a lot of Solution Focused counselling stuff with her when we talk. It was nice to hear Voldy actually compliment me on the way I'm dealing with D19 ...but how much she can carry on in that vein remains to be seen. So far I've handled all the tough stuff and feel I've done pretty well. I try to make sure I tell her that I love her and am proud of her. I never got that growing up and it's always been something I've tried to make sure my kids do hear.
Anyway, tonight I was busy making Pumpkin tofu cheesecake and Avocado muffins with gluten free flour. My new food processor rocks lol!

Wii,

Good for you trying to teach an old dog new tricks! Not that I'm calling Voldy a dog, mind you. wink Even us non ballistic biatches need tips from others now and then. Even ex husbands!

I'd watch football tonight if it were on. But I'm toggling between baseball (it's my boy's last home game before retiring) and the UCLA/USC volleyball match. Seems weird to see a girl who spent 7 years across the club net from D19 as a starter for UCLA....

Glad to hear you and your D19 are getting along, and she's having success in school this year. You deserve the break! My D19 is having a tough go with her schedule this year. She's majoring in chemical engineering. I'd rather have 20 root canals...

Back to vball and wine!

Wii: Congrats to your D! I am so glad that this year is going better for her.

Growing up, I believe kids have to make a mistake or 2. It is the only way to learn and grow.

Walt Disney said that in order to become a success, one had to have a few hard failures first. I believe he was right.
