I did it too, 23 and a half years ago. I did it one day at a time. Believe it or not, I still dream that I've started smoking again. I think I can handle just one and then I've smoked several packs! Then I wake up and find I was just dreaming. What's up with that?! Anyway, I'm very proud of you for joining the quitters club! <br />chrisChrishttp://chrismt.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-61934706378158833732009-07-17T21:19:45.041-07:002009-07-17T21:19:45.041-07:00Good Lord, Woman, the fact that you haven't KI...Good Lord, Woman, the fact that you haven't KILLED anyone yet (that I know of) is reason enough for you to get a medal!

Everyone here has ups and downs and is probably going through something from time to time. How public you want to make it is up to you. In my opinion, some things (regarding your thoughts about the 'thoughtless' gifts from your hubby) are better left unsaid, or at least said with some explanation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-30788775743860950212009-07-17T18:54:46.451-07:002009-07-17T18:54:46.451-07:00Kim,

As to the grumpies - well, you were just being honest and I find that refreshing! I have had the same feelings/thoughts and finally sat hubby down and we discussed gifts. It was an eye opener for both of us and really made gift giving more enjoyable. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your life with us. Have a great weekend.

However, with the money saved I've been able to buy a new to me car and tons and tons of fabric so you go girl! (And it was really, really hard to tell people! I guess cause it made it more real?)

I totally have done that too on my birthday. I don't want to be ungrateful for the gifts I get but you know sometimes it seems like you get something they just happen to pick up at Walgreens or something. I get stuff I don't like too but I don't tell the gift giver that. But sometimes you actually get an awesome gift and it's usually from a friend. Like for instance my blog friends know just what I like, I got an awesome handmade quilted table runner from my friend Nancy for my last birthday. I've never even met Nancy in person just through my Yahoo group and we email each other all the time. Yep, my best friends are my quilting blogging friends. Have a nice day, my friend.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332365628403090230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-9175104223999683872009-07-17T07:09:44.315-07:002009-07-17T07:09:44.315-07:00Congrats on quiting smoking!

Quilting really helped, as it gave me something to do with my hands.
