I’ve officially made it four weeks
I thought this coming Sunday would be four weeks since I gave up smoking but having looked at my handy-dandy spreadsheet, this past Sunday marked four full weeks without a cigarette. I did happen to buy myself a lovely pair of shoes on Saturday as a congratulatory gift. Hooray for me! I’ve also now saved [...]
Two little tidbits for you
One: Nanner, nanner, nanner President Bush and all the lame Congressmen and women who voted for the Patriot Act. That vile piece of legislation aimed at ‘protecting’ our country when in reality it’s only hurting our civil liberties is useless!!!! Why? Because there are no terrorists in America.

I would have meticulously cleaned our living room and kitchen but, unfortunately, that’s where my husband was working so I couldn’t really manoeuvre around him as easily [...]
I’m going to do it!
For those who don’t know me, I’m a smoker, a heavy one at times. I’ve finally decided to give up. I start tomorrow. I’ve got lozenges and what I’m pretty sure is willpower. I’m actually somewhat excited about it. So in order to help me I’ve decided to detour this blog for a bit and [...]
