Where’s the best place to go in the Fox Valley to get Portuguese food? If you’re Portuguese, can we just come over for dinner? It’ll be Sara and myself.
I have two cats but that’s not really relevant. And they don’t like to travel. I also like to watch American Ninja Warrior while I’m eating.
I asked though! Unlike that time I invited myself over to Carol Ann’s to play all of her weird instruments. 🎷🎻 And then she just stood there in awkward silence.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. — Step 8 of Alcoholics Anonymous
When I got to the Eighth Step I was kind of disappointed that they use the word “harmed.” I didn’t like it because I didn’t like the thought of me actually hurting people. We get a taste of peace after working the previous steps and then Step Eight comes crashing in like a bowling ball. Announcing we’d done harm.
Very well stated. I was in a cycle of feelings and buried guilt myself. After I made some amends many others became easier and what I received back was mostly positive outcomes. Some people were neutral and others simply had forgotten what I was trying to apologize for.
The living amends I have either chosen to have or simply must carry with me due to absenteeism of the the person/people help me daily also. Keep it rolling Friend. One day, hour or minute at a time. AA will always have our backs.
And then there was that one time a few years back when I was standing at the front door of the work building. It was a cool autumn day and I was enjoying a beautiful cigarette.
Enjoying the smoke, the solitude, and the cars going by.
Peeps, here’s your full-speed, non-stop Vaseline’s cover to power through this Wednesday afternoon. It’s one of the few songs I’d take with me anywhere.
The raining always starts when you go away.
I loved Nirvana so much. Cobain was Elvis for my generation.
Today when I was driving to work I was thinking about the water cooler there. Yesterday morning when I got in the 5 gallon bottle was empty. At one point in my career I would’ve thought, “who do I have to blow to get somebody to change the water?”
Yesterday I didn’t think that at all. I just changed the water bottle so I could fill my glass.

That’s the only show I watch when I am house sitting for my parents.
I was watching Chopped at dinner but then I just ended up feeling bad about myself for the slop I threw together at suppertime.

Is that why you’re inviting yourself to someone else’s house?
