Hellllooooo blog.   Yes.  I'm back.  I haven't forgot about you I just have been ignoring you.  

My New Year Resolution was to quit smoking.

That's it, nothing more...just quit smoking.

SOoooo, I tried on New Years day, THAT lasted 3 days.   Good for me...three days...fifteen bucks saved then right back on em.

Four times,  four stinking (literally) times during the month of January - I tried to stop smoking and each time I tried - - my car sabotaged me.  Yes, my car took a deliberate action to undermine my achievement to stop smoking.  I'd leave Satan's house...er...I mean that place I have to go every day and on my way home my car would automatically swing into the Sak-o-Suds parking lot, the drivers-side door flew open and the seat ejected me onto the pavement.   I'd look down and there'd be 5 bucks in my hand and the voices in my head were screaming JUST ONE MORE PACK!

Well, JUST the other day I tricked my car....I told it I was going to the drug store to buy a pack of cigarettes so it willingly went along.   BUT when I got there, I shelled out $50 big ones for a package of Commit lozenges and left the cigs behind the counter.     SO this was what...Friday, ya...Friday.   Oh, cool...that was 4 days ago.....

I have been smoke free since Friday....4 days ago.    Today begins day 5.     I hope this works because my throat hurts a lot when I smoke.  

I hate Philip Morris.    I really do... Cigarettes should be outlawed as a carcinagin (I wish I could spell) .... make everyone quit and give everyone these lozenges.   I didn't think they would really help but they do.

The only thing is that it is wrong to have to pay fifty bucks for them....they should be given, free of charge, to all smokers trying to quit.   They really seem to help....some. 

ANYWHO, I'm back blog.   Thanks for waiting for me so patiently.  OH...well that wasn't very nice....Don't say that...I'm trying, I'm trying. 

Conan O'brian is truly retarded....truly.   He must've slid out of the doctor's hands when he was born and bounced across the floor a couple of times.   Truly.

Why put off to tomorrow, what I can do today?

I am stopping today and will still make it a tribute to my nephew's b'day.     A good way to remember when I stopped.

I need those lozenges I think.   I stare at them through the locked cabinet at the store ... but they are too expensive yet.    

Maybe if I put the 4 bucks a day I was spending on cigs away, after 2 weeks I can afford to buy them.

Herky has a new cancer ***p on his other leg.   It is spreading fast.   He doesn't seem to be hurting though.  He still likes to chase the ball and jump at the gate when I come home in the car.   Poor Herky.

Nope, it does not take html code.  

It is quite funny, as I look at the number of views on the different posts here, that the days I posted something and put a negative title, gets LOTS more hits than the days I posted and put a funny nice little title.  

Folks like negative stuff.   Interesting.

Maybe if I put something REALLY dumb that I did at some point during my life, the blog will get LOTS of views.   hehehe

One think really dumb I did was to ever START smoking cigarettes.   I HATE phillip morris (he does not deserve to have his name capitalized.  If I could lower the lower case letters even more I would lower them for him.) 

But that is not interesting.   Lots of folks wish they had never started smoking.  

Oh, I know one of the dumb things I did.   A friend of mine had moved to a different town.  She was a dear friend.   She met, fell in love with, and got engaged to some feller from her new town.   She called and asked me to come and be in her wedding.   When I arrived to her house, we were sitting in the grass in the front yard talking.    Her new boyfriend drove up and got out of the car.   I said “THAT is not your boyfriend, IS IT?”  In a very negative tone.   He was Yougly, bad yougly.   I mean baaaaaaaad ugh lee.   (But he had a good personality, hehe). 

Well, needless to say it was her boyfriend and when she got up and kissed him I felt like a little tiny little flea, no...something smaller than a flea... maybe a protozoa.   I felt really bad and have remember that all these years.   

Now if I name this thread something negative, it will get LOTS of hits.   

I have GOT to stop samo king again.    It is killing me.   My throat hurts.  I hate phlip moroness.  

OK, I am going to set a new date to stop smoking again.   Lets see,  um, how about tomorrow, sky?   Tomorrow is a good day.   No, I know, I will stop on May 19th because that is my nephew's birthday (God rest his soul).  That would be a good tribute to him.   OK,

May 19th I am quitting (again).

Hello Blog.   Ya,  It has been a LONG week ... a week since I last posted?   I think so.  At least.

I am whistling, looking at the sky, with my hands behind my back... nothing in them.  

I am wondering if I can put html code in here.

I think I'll try.   <b>This should be in bold. </b>

Going to post this and see.   Then I shall come back.

......off to see.

I am wondering if Mother's Day is an American holiday or if it is a world wide thing.   I am thinking that this country thought it up to boost gift sales during a usual slow sales month.  

May ... the last month of the school year (so no school supply sales or expenses), no big holidays, and folks are saving their money for vacations, so throwing in something like “Mother's day” during May forces folks to buy gifts for the living moms and flowers for the deceased ones.   I guess I'll be getting flowers.  

hehehe

Yes, I am ignoring the smoking issue.   But I haven't given up on giving up.   It isn't going to beat me.

Going to read helpful hints on staying quit.

Sky.

I am SO stupid.  I meant to say that I appreciated Helen telling me about that cool site.  But because I am an idgit I forgot.  So I am saying it now.  Here.   That I think it was very nice of Helen to tell me about that site.  

She is nice.

I am an idgit.

Sky.

I just checked out a cool site that Helen suggested I go to (in my comments).   This site tells how your body starts healing itself afte you quit smoking.   That was interesting.

It also said that many smokers slip up and smoke a cigarette or two (they CHEAT otherwords) but get back on track.  It says if you slip up (CHEAT) to change whatever you were doing when you started smoking again and try again to stop.  

But it is as Yoda says “Do or Do Not, there is no try.”  

OK, OK, yes I back slid is why I have been hiding out.  But I am back on track again now.  Back to “Do” Yoda thank you very much.

I made it through today.  No cigarettes.   I did dig around under the seat of my car earlier hoping to find an old cigarette that I may have dropped at one point in time.   

No old stale cigs under the car seats.  

It was a good thing.  Now I am glad I didn't find one.    So Now I am ....uh ..... 15 days minus 5 minutes smoke free.  

Gottal go mr. blog as I am exhausted from work.

Sky.

It is still bothering me.    I am going to force the blog to say that word it won't let me say.

Try it this way:  N  U  T  S

Yes, today was two weeks.   This morning was two weeks of not smoking, but I proved to be too weak at my two week mark.     Isn't that ironic?

When I was at work today, a friend came by and said “No one is in the store now, let's go outside and have a smoke.”    I obediently followed him outside and took one of his cigarettes and smoked it.    I need a sign on my forehead that says  “Weak Kangaroo - Do not attempt to feed or offer cigarettes!”  

I am sort of mad at myself, but also sort of glad because after I smoked that thang I smelled my hand.   Peee-Yew.....cigarette smell really strong.   So I scrubbed it really good to get the smell off.  

I guess my clock has to start over now.   Back to one day cigarette free?    Hmmm,  how can I black out that five moments?    I guess I could say like '14 days minus 5 minutes smoke free.'  ..... thinking it over....thinking it over ....  Yep, that's the ticket, I am 14 days minus 5 minutes smoke free.   I just can't not count those fourteen difficult days of not smoking.     

I think my boss thinks my family is bonkers.     I was thinking about that and decided that he does think that...but then .... every family is a bit bonkers right?    Long story but I am guessing my family is a bit more bonkery than most (all of those in my family except ME, of course.   hehe)

Good night Mr. Blog.
