Merry Christmas Everyone

Heading to Tulsa tonight or early tomorrow AM. Hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas. Guess we'll continue the party next year. Love you all!!

Christmas, cameras, and clothes

Howdy!! I am about to take off work for the day. Yay!!
I would be more excited if it wasn't to go buy fat clothes. I have gained almost 10 lbs since quitting smoking and it is all around my waist. None of my jeans are comfortable any more and I can't go through Xmas without good jeans. I have already saved about $150 not buying smokes, so I deserve to treat myself.
I almost got my new camera last night, but Jason still wants to do a little more research. He gets slightly OCD about new electronic purchases. Guess it is good since I would just get what I wanted as fast as my credit card could buy it!
Just a few last minute things to get done for Christmas shopping and then it is time to give them out. That is my favorite part!
Hope everyone is enjoying the pre-Christmas festivities and preparation.

Smoking

I technically quit smoking two weeks and two days ago. Yay for me!! It is going pretty well. I fell off the wagon a bit on Saturday night. Too many cups of champagne punch and a ciggy sounded pretty tempting. I caved and had a few.

However, no more since then, so that is a good sign. Maybe I can be a social smoker? I know my throat felt like crap the next day. It is hard to resist when you are around other smokers. I am now on a mission to get everyone to quit, even if it is just selfishly.

It really did feel like losing an old friend at first. I have smoked for so long and have a true fondness for the feeling it brings. My health is much more important however, so I will bid farewell to my smelly old pal.

I admire everyone who has successfully quit, it is not easy. And for anyone thinking about it, just do it!! I, for one, like a good challenge.
