This is how serious we are about quitting ... 8 boxes of patches $127 worth ... and the biggest bags of hard candy and pistachios we could find at CostCo ... in fact I am going to stop there on the way home tomorrow and get more hard candy and nuts ... just to make sure ...


we spend about $12 a day on cigs ... so that 12 bucks is going into a laptop fund ... which means we could get one in about 2.5 months ... and after that we are starting a new digital camera fund ... ohhhhh all the ways I could spend $4500 in a year ...


well I am off to smoke my last cigarette ... wow ... it is sad and exciting all at the same time ... it is the last time I will feel the beautiful smoke filling my lungs ... the sound of the burn ... the dreamy way the smoke exits my mouth ... all of that is over ...


but for a good cause ... I will have more money ... I will be healthier ... I will live longer ... and maybe by the end of the year I will be on my way to bringing a new life into the world ...
