A LITTLE NEWBIE ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO ONCE WAS ONE!
I promise you it does get easier!
Zoey!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For all of you who look for advice during your quit.. This may come in handy
Making note to self: No power tools!
I cannot separate between PNS (POST NICOTINE SYNDROME) and PMS anymore. I checked the calendar and we are exactly 2 weeks from the last and the next full moon so I don't think that is a factor but one never knows...
I went out to start the lawn mower, talk about coddling, worse than a 1st
day quit. No offense, I was once one too remember? Surprisingly she starts right up... I shout as always.."I am woman!!!.." blah blah blah... (Theres a reason for that, short version: lawnmower and I are only acquainted 3
weeks. )No sooner did I finish the ROAR part of my speech the old bi*ch
stalled! I gave her a dirty look and tried again... she coughed like a 2 and
a half pack a day habit... exhausted she craps out.... Oh I am so not happy!! Third try..yea right!!!...
I go in the house to get the phone (No!!! I am NOT calling 911 for my lawnmower!! You really think I'm nuts, don't you?!) but as I walk past my Darling Cherubs I see I missed the parade.. Apparently there was some sort of celebration in my house while I was outside giving mouth-to-mouth to a piece of machinery that should have been put to death years ago...Yea yea, SNAPPER's last forever i'm told.. well it's forever and a day today!!
Kids are so creative aren't they?... LOL.. Yea mine are just tops in that dept.. the confetti was created with a 1000 piece puzzle and a box of cheerios...*heart palpitations start now!* "I will not blow my quit...."
Get phone .... I Call DH or in my case SD at work.. (ask later) Surprisingly
he answers on the first ring... Oh it's going to snow!!! I give him the whole BRING ME A LAWN MOWER TODAY rant, which included the parade down Main St. and how i still have to find the pool stuff he has hidden on me. I am sure I sounded a bit like Charlie Brown's teacher at this point but quite frankly, I don't give a @#$%!!
Here's the man who has been charging EVERYTHING on his credit card without any thought what-so-ever trying to rationalize with me and tell me over the phone to kick the 'thingy' while it idles.. pull back the 'whatcha-ma-call-it'.... yada yada yada...CAN'T HEAR YOU ANYMORE.. WHITE NOISE.. WHITE NOISE...
BRING........ ME........ A ........LAWNMOWER..........! (CLICK!)
I will not blow my quit, I will not blow my quit....
Little voice says... GET THE POWER TRIMMER!
I said, "The power trimmer???"
YES THE POWER TRIMMER- THE GAS POWERED TRIMMER! GET IT!
(I think it was God!)
...Oh ok! ..so I did.. and I fired that bad boy up and off I went...There
is no more grass to cut.. I did it! There is no more garden... did that too!
I trimmed those nice privacy hedges..PEEK-A-BOO! ha-ha..ooops! Neighbor won't be doing anymore of that half naked sunbathing for awhile.. ahhh she's young she'll get over it!! The cord to the pool filter.. we needed a new one anyway..and various toys and playthings lost in the grass will never be the same.. I guess they'll now understand why I say PUT IT AWAY...
Whew!.. I am covered in grass specks from head to toe I suppose I should sweep up this mess or something... or just call it a day...Oh and if you are wondering about the SNAPPER I put it in my neighbors back door. No, I don't mean the garage either. Well he was LOOKING at me!!!!
Wow! I don't even have a crave!

KTQ!... Keep smiling!...Keep laughing!
..Makes people wonder what you've been up to!! <snicker*snicker!>
