Sometimes you go looking for help and sometimes help finds you
My girlfriend Sylvia told me she desperately wanted to quit smoking. She has all the reasons in the world, but just didn't think she could make it through with out giving up and giving in. She has tried several times in the last few years to quit. She has stayed smoke free for only short periods,...

10/13 7:14 Day 2
I woke this morning with the smell of ribs and the sound of a mosquito buzzing in my ear. Instinctively I brushed him away and rolled over only to realize he had already feasted well on my exposed shoulder and cheek. My husband came in and took a shower. I finally got back to sleep around 4:30. Up...

I don't know what in the hell I'm doing up so late, but at least I haven't had a cigarette today. It has been easy except for the 32 times I thought about going outside to have one. I did get a lot of great reading in this evening on some very interesting and long blogs - Cent & INCUBUS and a splash...

I am missing my first smoke break of the day. Sophie is sleeping. I tried to keep her up as long as possible, but the sleep train waits for no baby...unless it feels like it, and then you can just stay up all night. This dog is barking its head off out there. It does this quiet frequently, but damn...

I just smoked my last cigarette
I sat on the back patio. The air was cool and comfortable with a heavy humidity that's lingered all day. A nice breeze kept the smoke off my face and it was quiet. All I could hear were the leaves rustling together, applauding my decision, in the wind.

A Friday Night In May
Journal entry May 04 We came home from dinner and Gallyans and saw a long puddle by our apartment door. I immediately thought 'Shit! The apartment is flooded', but when I opened the door - nothing. It was dry as a bone. Sophie, on my hip, clung to me as I went back out to the hallway to investigate....

Thank you.
Sometimes I feel guilty about spending so much time blogging. Then I think about all of the wonderful things I am reading and how good it feels to write things to be read. Sometimes funny. Sometimes very sad. Sometimes tragic. Sometimes beautiful and moving. Sometimes informative. Sometimes just...

I am home
My friend just left. The one that I used to spend so much time with. We were both in our thirties and didn't work so we just did things together and talked about how lucky we were to not have kids to keep us from the things we wanted to do. We went shopping, had man-peds, conferred on styles,...

"Click Me! Click Me!" The Headline Shouted.
What is the shame or denial of being here for the clicks? Yes there are a few who unabashedly admit, campaign and just plain ask for clicks. But the majority it seems deny the fact they too just want to be read. It is not only about being read though. It is about being accepted, acknowledged,...

I'm Dreaming Again Thanks To You
I had a dream. It was the end of the season and thus time to leave. I was invited to go with you and your exclusive, small group, but it was required that I wear 'the' uniform. To indicate my status, I was offered only the secondary brand to choose from. The colours were so rich and the fabric so...
