No Smoking!!

That's right...it is a no smoking area for me now!! I am happy...you hear me?...happy to report that it is now on the 11th day for me to be a non smoker!! On November 21st was the last day that I was a smoker! I am very proud of myself and I want to never go back to those cigarattees. Several times before I have quit just to start back again as time passed. However, this time it was/is much harder for me to quit. I really think that if I were to start back again this time, that there would be no quitting again. I really don't want to be addicted to those things the rest of my life. So this time....it's final. I am a non smoker! How did/am I doing it? Cold Turkey I tell you. Cold Turkey at the Turkey time of year!! What a hard time to do it...but then again...anytime is a hard time to do it. It takes a made up mind and strong determination to do it and tons of will power. It is hard. Very hard. At times, I just want a cigarette....but I am happy to say that I have not given in to the habit. My body is free of the nicotine addiction itself now, but the habit...that is a different story. The habit is what is difficult to break. The desire for the cigarette goes away within about 10-20 minutes but the habit...that's the hard part! After a meal.....driving....watching tv.......working on the pc......having a drink......the list could just go on and on. But.....I have made a decision....I have made a choice....and I am just stubborn enough to stick with it! Congratulations to me!! Way to go girlfriend. Keep it up.

Oh and yes.....Button is right along here with me. I am so very proud of her. We are BOTH smoke free since November 21, 2006. We have a great life ahead of us to live girl....let's live it to the fullest!!!

Tip Of The Day

Newspaper Weeds Away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers: put layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, they will not get through wet newspapers!!
