Wanna See My Butt?

I Considered It An Honor To Show Anyone And Everyone My Butt. I Was So Proud Of It I Even Asked My Mother Once If She Wanted To See It. It's Not Like She Hasn't Seen It Before But It's Been Awhile. Hahaha!!
Ok, I Led You All Along For Awhile And It's Been Fun "But" The Butt I Have Been Referring To Is My Last Cigarette Butt.
Ten Years Ago Next Month(April) I Smoked My Last Cigarette. I Had Saved My Last Cigarette Butt And Taped It To The Bathroom Mirror To Remind Me Of The Dirty, Filthy, Nasty Habit I Once Engaged In. It Really Doesn't Seem Like It's Been Ten Years But It Has.
Since That Day Of Quitting There Are Times I Would Enjoy Smoking A Cigarette Again. Firstly, Let Me Tell You I Quit Smoking For Financial Reasons. Secondly, If I Never Had To Worry About Paying The High Cost For Cigarettes I Would Most Likely Smoke Again. I Really Did Enjoy The Feeling That Nicotine Gave Me When I Smoked. It Had It's Calming Effect Which Relieved All The Stress Life Had To Offer.
Today I Can't Stand The Smell Of Smoke. There Are Days It Makes Me Want To Vomit.
Bille Jo Continue's Her Battle To Quit But She Has Not Won The War Just Yet.
I Have Friends And Relatives Who Smoke. I Had Promised Myself When I Quit Smoking I Would Not Become The Great Crusader And Proclaim The Rest Of The World Should Quit As Well.
There Was A Point In Time When I Boycotted A Donut Shop Because They Didn't Allow Smoking. I Looked At It As Descrimination Against Me. It Made Me Feel My Money Wasn't Of The Same Value As That Of A Non Smoker.
Today As A Non Smoker I Do Understand Why That Man Banished Smoking In His Business.
I Hated Then What It Was Doing To My Wallet. I Cannot Imagine Today With Cigarettes Costing More Than 4.00 A Pack The Impact It Would Have On Me Financially.
Looking Back I Consider Myself Lucky That I Was Able To Quit. I Don't Think I Could Quit Again. It Was One Of The Hardest Things I Have Ever Had To Do.
I Still Have Alot Of People I Am Associated With That Do Smoke. I Don't Really Care To Be Around It Anymore. I Was Happy When The State No Longer Allowed Smoking In Public Buildings Anymore. Now If I Was Still A Smoker I Most Likely Would Not Like This New Law At All.
I Gained Atleast 50 Pounds That I Can't Seem To Shed Away. I Took Up Sucking On Peppermint Candy Which Was Fat Free So I Figured It Was Ideal For Me. Wrong!
Each Mint Was 50 Calories And I Was Addicted To Them For Atleast Two Years Or More Until I Was Able To Finally Get Away From Them.
So There You Have It Folks. I Just Wanted To Share This Upcoming Milestone With Those Who Care. If You Are Wanting To Quit Smoking I Recommend The Nicotine Patch. That's What Worked For Me But To Each His Own.
Have A Wonderful Easter!

Why Don't I Blog More?

So Why Don't I Blog More Often? I Really Don't Have A Real Good Reason. As Most Of You Know I Hate The Winter Months And This Winter Has Been A Real Cuel Winter.
The Calender Says March But Where I Live It Still Feels Like February. The Extended Forcast For The Danville Area Shows A 60 Degree Day And Some Others With 50 Degree's.
I Have Spotted A Few Robins Already. Our Dairy Queen Just Recently Opened. We Have A Couple Other Seasonal Ice Cream Parlor's That Should Be Opening Soon.
In The Meantime Here I Sit Waiting For The Departure Of Old Man Winter.
I Will Begin My Outside Daily Walks When The Weather Finally Changes. I Have Been Walking 2 Miles At The Village Mall 2-3 Times A Week.
The First Week Of April I Begin My Summer Gig And That's My True Test. I'm Out In The Woods Searching For Mushrooms. I Get In And Out Of My Truck And Feel Every Pound I Have Gained Over The Winter Months.
So To Answer My Question Of Why I Don't Blog More Often. I'm In A Rut. I'm In A Horrible Rut. My Primary Focus Has Been The Start Of Warmer Temps. I Can't Seem To Think Of Anything Other Than SPRING!
Ok Let Me Say This. I Will Try Harder To Find A Topic For Discussion. I Can Be A Creative Person When I Wanna Be.
Maybe My Walk This Week Or The Spring Training Game I Watch Will Put Me Just A Little Closer The SPRING!
I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This! I Will Eventually Snap Out Of This!
Get Out The Straightjacket!
