Kicking an addiction...

I'm yet again attempting to stop smoking.  I've been on Wellbutrin again for the last two weeks.  I smoked my last cigarette tonight with a little fanfare.  I'm ready to stop.  I really am.  I just don't want to gain any weight.  I went to a "Back on the Bandwagon" seminar with just 5 of us with Dr. Simpson.  I'm trying to get back on track there as well.  Hopefully all of it together will be good.

We went to see Harry Potter tonight.  It was very well done and I enjoyed the movie.  Sorry to see it end but sort of glad at the same time.  Those "poor" kids need to do something different with their lives.

**Edit....(continued on Monday)

I suck.  I smoked today.  At about 9:30 a.m. I felt the urge to reach across my desk and choke someone.  I smoked.  Sigh.

I'm thinking quitting smoking, cutting out Sweet N Low, Diet Coke and Maple goodies is probably not a good idea all at once.  Especially this week.

Why do I like to fall asleep watching TV?  I mean, I really, really like it.  It makes me happy.  I really wish the TV had a timer tough so I wouldn't wake up to the TV.  Ya know?  I want to go to sleep with it but don't want it to wake me up.  Ahhh...one day, my pretty, one day.

I've been reading a website devoted to women dating a widower for quite sometime.  Now there's a Facebook group.  I joined.  It's for women dating, married to or otherwise involved with a widower.  Very interesting.  The overall consensus seems to be that the late wife's family is the source of most problems.  Go figure.

This weekend Bob changed his FB status to "Married" -- and then I confirmed it.  We didn't get married.  But he did it to amuse himself with his former in-laws reading it and having a coronary.  Some people need to get a life.

Strange things....

I'm preparing for the next class I'm teaching.  Of course, I haven't taught it before and I don't have access to the book yet; so I decide to check out the last few instructors' syllabi to see how they structured the class.  Interesting.  One instructor is a prosecuting attorning for Maricopa County.  One is a dance instructor...huh?  One has 3 Master's degrees and lists her dogs on her syllabus as her kids and even includes their weights.  Well alrighty then.

I only have on Master's degree.  What a loser.

I'm afraid to list the dogs on my syllabus.  RJ is such a good boy someone would try to steal him.  Would so!!

Speaking of RJ...I totally missed my dog this last weekend while we were out of town.  I missed the girls too, but I was having serious issues with missing my boy. 

I wonder if I'm the only person that owns 25 pairs of shoes, of which half of them hurt my feet?  And yet I keep them all because I wear them to work.  When my feet hurt I become crabby.  And my feet hurt in anything other than a tennis shoe or a Birkenstock sandal.  So yeah, my feet hurt every day I go to work.
