I guess I'm waiting for a few things. The first is the promised snow we are supposed to get. Not seeing it. Been snowing all day and still not too much on the ground. Disappointing. I spent most of the week getting sadder and sadder because I love the look of snow on the ground. Everything seems so clean. I was sad seeing all the brown, not even the green of spring with colors, just brown from dirt. Ick!
Rough day with the kid today. She has my temper and man she is so stubborn.....just like her daddy. That's a joke, just like her mom. The two of us together.......sometimes we just push each others buttons, that was today. But this shall pass. They always do.

Some Things I've noticed since I stopped smoking
1. Smoking really really smells! I seriously feel like Doug from Up. There are certain people who just wear it on them, never thought I would turn into one of "those" ex-smokers. I don't always say it, but, man, it can be nauseating.
2. I love, LOVE chocolate covered pretzels, especially ones made by a friend named Paula who first dips them in caramel. Then I hear she has to cut the wax paper off, at least she does it. I am way too lazy. Hey there's one in my hand now :O).
3. I love, LOVE chocolate strawberries. I really never have before but I seem to really really like them now. Who knew?
4. My patience is quite thin so please PLEASE, stop pushing your luck. You know who you are.
5. People drive like idiots on 95. I don't get it, long straight road with no lights from Maine to Florida (I think it's that long. I'm sure someone will correct me if it isnt and when you do please read #4 again) yet breaking is constant. What are these people thinking? I can't just blame Philly people because New Jersey people are just as bad.
6. I get out of the door sooooooo much quicker. I also get dressed quicker in the morning.
7. I have the absolute hardest time waking up in the mornings. On those mornings please remember #4.

Operation Quit Smoking - Day 12 - almost 13 :O)
I have to say Chantix is some pretty amazing stuff. Sure I still want to smoke, but, I don't need to. I've gotten through all the firsts last week so not smoking somewhere isn't new anymore. Jana is quite proud of her mommy.
Funny part, I smell you!! I am so surprised by all the people I now know smoke. When I sit at work I can smell them across the room. I do a girl's hair and I know her dad smokes because I smell it in her hair. It's crazy.
Side effect of quitting.....yea there is some. My body is now ridding itself of all the toxins and my face is breaking out like mad. Just when I was wondering what was going because I am never this bad (at least not since I was a teenager), I got an email from Quitnet saying this is what would happen as my body heals itself. OK. So, I guess I can handle it now. But seriously, who knew?
Things have been stressful with the roof but I think all in all I'm doing extremely well. I keep telling myself that one day I'll have 1 but I know I won't. It's just my way to not thinking about forever. I'm sure I am remembering the memory, just like when I went vegetarian in 1993. I still remember loving chicken, I still remember loving pepper steak from the chinese place. Just because I remember something doesn't mean it still is. I read that in a vegetarian magazine years ago. You are remembering the memory and chances are if you tried it, you wouldn't like it.
