Thanks Lana!! But now you're making it harder to quit! LOL.
I am really serious about it this time...I'm going to buy some suckers and some crest whitening strips or something so that I can be excited about making my teeth really white or something...maybe that'll make me not want to smoke. UGH - it's just so hard because I love it. LOVE IT. And I love the smell of second hand smoke, so I definately have to stay away from smokers for awhile....
I'm glad Bentley is doing good!! Every time I hear Dirks Bentley I think of you!

You can do it Cara!!! Now is the best time to do it!!! If all else fails...get some Zyban or the patch or something. Put the money in a jar and spend it weekly on yourself...that will help you stay quit...or save it up for when you get pregnant you can buy the baby some stuff.
LOL - Everytime Dierks comes on CMT I always dance around with Ben...thanks for thinking of us LOL

Hi all!!
Sorry for being MIA for a while. Busy week at work, and I'm leaving for Puerto Rico on Friday, so I have a bunch of things to wrap up before I leave.
I've been feeling pretty good. Just sore boobies, a little tiredness (but not like before), no nausea or anything. I have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, so we'll know how far along I am.
I am really nervous because the last time I had an ultrasound, all we saw was the sac. It was a really sad appointment. I am praying that we see our little bean in there.
Michele, good luck with the testing. I won't get to know until I get back from PR, but I'll be thinking of you. Steph, I want to know about you as well. Good luck to everyone else!!
Hopefully, I'll get back on here after my u/s and let you know what happens.
Talk to you soon!

Yep, I hate the cost with smoking too! That's the only thing I hate! When we lived in Chicago they were $5.75 a pack!! Here they are about $4.00, but still, with both of us smoking it's a lot of money! So DH doesn't smoke?? That's probably a good thing for you! I'm so used to smoking with my DH that it's just harder to quit. I used to work in construction where EVERYONE smokes, so it's good I'm not at that job anymore.
That's crazy about the blood pressure rise when you quit!! And your grandma chewed!! LOL. I've never seen a woman chew. That cracks me up thinking of it. I tried it once and it was nasty. I was spitting stuff out for like 20 minutes. I tried everything in college....I'm done with that stage - but like you, I couldn't give up the smokes!
Ok I better stop talking about it now because I'm really starting to crave.

I know they are sooo expensive.. they are 5.00 a pack or 40.00 a carton in massachusetts.. however, in virginia.. where I am from the are only 19.99 a carton (ten packs) or 2.50 a pack. An insanely large difference if you think about it!

Yeah, I've heard several states now have banned smoking in public places! I think thats great!!! My mom smokes like a chimney and I can't stand to visit her for more than an hour or two at her house because it just kills me. I refuse to let her smoke in my house so she never visits me! I hate going out to eat and having to smell and taste smoke with my food! Even sitting in the non smoking area you still get all that second hand smoke!
Now, remember, I used to be a drug addict so believe me I know something about addiction! I am also NOT a conservative person in the least. If you want to smoke, I don't care but don't subject me to it! I'm not going to judge anyone or hold it against anyone, I just don't want to inhale it, taste it, breath it, smell it on my clothes and hair etc!!
So, my dear girlfriends, you know I care very deeply for you but just hand to toss my 2 cents in!! Still friends??
