Sorry I've been missing!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. Penny seems to hit it right on the dot with what is going on with me too so I always just read hers and say yeah, thats how I'm doing too!! The emotional touchy, impaitient, crabby stuff gets to me too.Luckily Rick has not decided to divorce me yet , he's a good guy he just stays out of my way. Basically I've been keeping real busy too.The 30 year old teenager living with us is more nerve racking than anything!! But he quit smoking too so hey what can I say?? oh and by the way ~~ I like Cheetoes!! and some dip with mine Thanks!

Down, Down, Down

I don't know why the rest of the links haven't been on. The physical addition is long gone, but the emotional part is killing me. It seems that every relationship I have has suffered. I'm not handling day to day pressure or problems very well. The things that used to excite me and get me out of bed in the mornings just aren't doing it for me right now. I haven't spent much time with Justine, Carol and Randy in the last 4 weeks and I hate that. Bobby is about ready to vote me off the island. Some good news though is my American Express bill was $200 lower this month. This is the first time I have quit smoking and really saw the financial savings.

Anyway, sorry everybody for my lack of Penny lately. I sure hope this passes. I am miserable. I'm sure glad kitten season is slow right now because I don't even know if I could muster up the energy to help them right now.

Even my relationship with God right now is not right and that alone is knocking my socks off.

Maybe just blogging will help. I even asked Santa yesterday for a real estate loan modification for Christmas. Is that sad or what?

Don't worry. I'm not going to commit caticide or anything. Just one day at a time..

30 days...hummmm

Well, here we are. 1 Month...Seems like 2 years ago, just wish I could control my emotions better. Peri is here right now and she is doing well, but mentioned that we shouldn't hang out at gas stations or AM PM markets. I was thinking the other night that we are recovering smokers. Do we get to earn chips? I like Sun Chips..French Onion. hahah.

Hey Kim, Justine, Followers...Ya out there???

All forgotton about....Lets light up.. No not really.

Month #2 coming..PAY UP!!!

XOXOX, Penny

The hoopla is over

It's been 3 weeks. Thats 21 days..I hear it takes 21 days to start a habit, but I think it might take more than that to break one. I think all the links are doing ok. Carol, Justine & Patrick are all off the patch, and I haven't talked to Kim in a few days. I'm going to stay on for the whole 10 weeks. I failed twice with the patch before,(didn't do the whole 10 weeks) much later then within the 10 weeks, but I have always wondered if that is why I wasn't successful long term. The urges are just as strong, but not as often.

I was spending $50 wk, will be glad when that shows back up.

Love to all,
Penny

New Granddaughter

My new granddaughter Tilly Ann has arrived! I was at the hospital all day with my daughter and new baby ~ even got to give her first bottle to her!They are doing fine and I never even thought of going out for a smoke break! Kim Cairnes

2 weeks ago tonight

Justine and I were talking on the phone every 30-45 minuets, smoking and discussing our new life......1/2 way to 1 month. HURRAY

Wendy

That picture of Wendy on our list of followers is a fake. I know Wendy and she is much thinner that that. The humor is still there...I'm feeling better today. My buddies Carol & Randy (Fellow links) came over for a visit today and they are just as miserable as me...HURRAY!!

Misery loves company!! Come on back over soon!

Love you all!
