HIJACK THIS THREAD!

Niki, I am right there with you. I have not stopped yet. I am taking Lortab for the expander pain and it makes me smoke more. As soon as the pain is gone from the last fill, I'll quit. I am a recovering alcoholic and I did not stop right away. It took me several times before I got it. So that is what I am doing with my smoking. I just keep trying and never give up.

jpann, I am a little behind on the threads but you are welcome to come over during the Persiad meteor shower which is usually in August. My husband and I do put our sleeping bags on the lounge chairs and watch. All the animals curl up with us. Hopefully, it will be a clear night when the viewing is the best. We have seen some very large ones in the past. Unfortunately, the hollyhocks are now gone. I got the seeds and threw the rest in the fields hoping to start them growing there.

Well, it housework today. I am so glad I quit work. I worked 60-70 hours a week as a hospital business office director for 18 years so I figured it was ok to retire at 46. I work part time at a frame shop/art gallery and love it. I get to meet all kinds of interesting artists and enjoy seeing what people bring into frame. Of course, now my walls are covered in paintings and pictures and I am always trying to find another nitch to put something in. 

There was some earlier talk about tatoos. I got one 25 years ago when it was shocking for a woman to have a tatoo! It was during my drinking days and I ran around with some biker types and just had to shock my mom with a tatoo. I was a Latin major in college and got a pegasus. Of course, now it has faded and is just a blob on my left shoulder. I have never had the urge to get another one.

Well, off to clean the house.
