*Twitch*
Maybe it was the lung globbers that I was coughing up yesterday that made me think twice about buying another pack. I like smoking...but I sure as hell don't like what it does to me. What's more important to me right now is my health and my youth. Having to watch my former Mother-in-law struggle with over 30 years of smoking is enough for me to reconsider my habit's longevity.
So far, I am doing pretty well in the last week. I've had 2 (1 Clove, 1 nasty cig) and haven't been tempted to go buy a pack. The real test will come when I go out for a drink...that always gets me jones-ing for a cig.
How much longer will people tell me I look like I'm in my 20's in spite of my gray hair? Probably not much longer...I'm amazed I've remained youthful in spite of my self-inflicted abuse.
Slightly off the subject...lots of things on the horizon for me. Namely, today, I will be getting my taxes done for the first time in years. I wont get into specifics, in fact, all I will say is that it will be nice to have some piece of mind.
As my Mother says, 'Baby Steps' are what I need to get my life back on the forward position.
The Weekend
I have my daughter this weekend, so I'm looking forward to cuddling, witty banter, and talk of Pokemon. Have I mentioned how awesome my kids are? Oh yeah...all the time.
Anyway, have a nice weekend everyone!

i used to smoke. i quit when i was 30. best gift i ever gave myself. i just decided i wanted to live. seemed stupid of me to smoke when i watched my dad die of lung cancer. i smoked cloves too. the sweetness on the lips is alluring, i'll confess.
;)
have a good weekend!
I truly hope you manage to give up. I so want to, but not quite ready to do so.
