I can’t stop laughing….
I can hear my coworker in her office having an heated conversation with her PC….I just asked if she’s arguing with the internet?

2nd snow of the season!
Check out that snow! The weather last night said “some snow flurries with little to no accumulation”. Stupid weather people….=)
I was thinking of going snowboarding today, but I’m sort of glad I didn’t. Driving home would have been an experience. Not to mention there was only one run open at A-Basin and that just didn’t seem like it was worth driving all the way out there.
But Breckenridge opens on the 9th of Nov….woo hoo! And I could always just go board down my street until then….
First snow of the season!
What a wonderful thing to wake up to. I climbed out of bed rather late today, wandered toward the bathroom and an intense white caught my eye outside the window. At first I thought, “Wow, the sun is really bright today.” Then I realized what I was seeing…snow!
As you can see, it wasn’t a lot of snow. But it came down most of the day. I ended up just hanging out at home with my Mom and her husband, John. We watched some TV, had a fire going all day and then I made my Pork Tenderloin alla Napoli (but I did it with pork chops). It was a really nice lazy snowy Sunday…
The Clayton Blue
When I lived in Florida there was a place that served a hamburger with blue cheese and fried onions on top. It was called the Stank Burger and it was really good.
This weekend I’m up in Denver with my mother and her husband. We hit this little tavern in Cherry Creek and they have a burger on the menu with blue cheese and red onions. It was really good too….I love blue cheese.
What is it called? The Clayton Blue!
7 days = 0 cigarettes
I’m officially 1 week cigarette free. It has been tough at times. I’ll be sitting at work around 4:45, almost ready to head home, and I visualize myself sitting in the car having a smoke. It’s these old habits and triggers that really make it hard. The worst is after eating…..I’m so used to having a cigarette after a meal. I’ve got to break that habit….retrain my brain to not think about cigarettes after food. Thankfully I’m not one of those people who wants a cigarette after sex…..LOL
I really think the nicotine addiction is the easiest part to get past, unlike the habits. I’ve already started to reduce the amount of time I use the patch. Yesterday, I didn’t put a patch on until 2pm, when I noticed myself thinking about a cigarette 3 different times within 20 minutes. As of this moment, I still haven’t put a patch on today. I want to slowly work myself off of the patch….mostly because a weeks supply is $20. Sure, I’m not spending money on cigarettes which makes up for the cost of the patch, but I’d rather just save the $20. I have about 7 patches left, so I’m going to hang on to them for when I really have an intense nicotine craving.
Now I realize that 7 days without a cigarette doesn’t mean this battle is over. I failed last time after 45 days without one. But if I don’t try….that’s worse. I don’t want to be a smoker….I won’t be a smoker.
