TGIO ~ Thank God It's OVER

Whew ... this week has just sucked the life out of me.

I've been (quietly) dieting - didn't really tell anyone because I didn't want the added pressure of the "So how's the diet going?" questions. Those never fail to work just like the "So how are you doing with the whole quitting smoking?" - all it does is make you want a cigarette so badly that you could knock over your 80 year old grandfather in a mad dash for the door & then stab your granny with a fork to steal her smokes. Have I mentioned that I quit smoking 30months ago & I STILL crave those beautiful sticks of relaxation?

Shut up - I know they stink & will kill you ~ but my. god. The peaceful 5 minutes of no one bugging you, walking away from the world (to hide) and just quietly killing yourself .... ooh I miss that some days.

Yes I've been known to sneak one every few months, yes if my husband finds out he bugs me to no end about it ... and yet he still smokes & refuses to quit. Lovely. I get lectures & "Shame on you!" from a man with a lit cigarette in his hand.

How the hell did I get on this topic? Oh yeah. Diets.

Diets suck the life out of you & steal the joy of fat, carbs, sugar and all things gooey from the world.

But I'm down 5 pounds this week so I guess I'll stick to it.

Damn I want a smoke now ..... trading one vice for another probably wouldn't be a good idea, right?
