I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I take them out of the package, put them in a ziplock baggie, put the baggie in a cup, and put the cup down cellar, on a high shelf, in the laundry room.

I should do that with cookies.

Thanks for the compliments on the hair, peoples. It does the most amazing fucked-up Oz bedhead in the morning. It's very defiant.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'll take hugs.

I'm baking. I found vanilla.

To break the routine part of it, I take them out of the package, put them in a ziplock baggie, put the baggie in a cup, and put the cup down cellar, on a high shelf, in the laundry room. I have to wait at least one hour between cigarettes (and I'm going to start slowly increasing that), and have to smoke one less, every day.

Wow, that's a serious commitment, Cindy. I'm proud of you. Really, I know it's a very tough addiction.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Rock on, Cindy. The other day at WalMart I put a box of patches in and out of my basket about three times. For what it's worth, I didn't buy them. One month.

What is even happening?

YAY Cindy!

Thank you so much Aimee, but that's probably premature. For example, this has been the longest fucking hour of my life, and there's still 5 minutes left of it. I have to keep reminding myself I routinely go 6-8 hours without a cigarette, when I'm sleeping. Right now, I feel like I have enough time to walk some vanilla out to California, and get back here, before the damned hour is up. ijs.

Wow, that's a serious commitment, Cindy. I'm proud of you. Really, I know it's a very tough addiction.

Thanks, Hec. I'm not even down to the pack-a-day level yet, so...

A doctor recommended the method to me a long time ago.--well, not the cup and the laundry room bit (and by the way, I have never been so frigging caught up on my laundry...since before I had kids). He just said to just break the habit part, first--to get a cigarette case, or something, take them all out of the pack, and keep them somewhere different, then just cut out one a day.

I actually cut out more than one, the first day, accidentally-on-purpose. But for yesterday and today, I'm just going for one less, because I am feeling the cravings. I was getting to the point where I was afraid I'd never again try to quit, when I remembered what he recommended. I figure it isn't going to hurt.

You've been smoke free for a month, Lilty? Go you!!! You've gotten this far, you'll do it, girl!

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy, I really love how the bangs stayed kind of the same but everything else is so different. Excellent haircut.

My bangs are doing what I knew they would (standing straight up) and yet, I had to have them anyway.

(Meanwhile, my cats are having some sort of argument with a kitty in the courtyard.)

My hair scares little children first thing in the morning.

Love the hair cut, Tep. It's got a wonderful line, your stylist did a good job. And it's perfect for your face, your eyes look so much bigger and smokier with the shorter do. Plus, it shows off the fact you've lost weight, it slims your face. I'm all for never letting you grow it longer, but then I'm being quite contrary about that myself, just now, so I'm not a good one to talk.

Cindy, good for you! The fact you're making a sincere effort is huge! It took my father three tries to quit smoking and he's been quit over 30 years, now. You definitely won't regret it. Especially if you like food, Dad actually started enjoying foods he hadn't liked before because he could taste them better after he quit.

Note to self: vanilla makes Aimee very, very happy. Buy stock in a vanilla company.
