Went out to lunch today with Karen, and then for coffee. We had a good time and talked a lot about all kinds of stuff. There was a time when I thought I wasn't ever going to be able to do that again. Maybe it's a side effect of growing up and realizing just how messed up I was, how messed up the situations were, and all the crap that happened in 2001. I feel like there's no point to holding on to any of that anymore.

Only one cigarette so far today. I am working my way down to around half a dozen a day. No more smoking in the mornings, I think. I'm not sure I'm ready to quit entirely, but I am trying to smoke less. I won't be able to wuit entirely until I get an exercise routine going, because I don't need to put on another twenty pounds.

Tsar Slate is meowing at me, so I must go pet the kitty before he jumps into the middle of my desk.

congrats on cutting down the cigs!
On oprah on friday they had "inside the human body", and they showed a woman who said she need a wake-up call to quit smoking a normal lung and a smoker's lung. I'm sure you've seen the pics before and if you haven't, look them up on the internet. Picturing your black lung and associating it with a cigarette will surely help you to cut down or quit.
the good news is that the doctor said that after ten years smoke-free your lungs can heal back to a healthy state

I'm glad you two had fun. And I'm very glad you two can hang out again. I wish I could have been there with you. Next weekend, if I come... Gene says he might be going to Houston next weekend so I don't know...

maybe we should work out together
we could buy a silly yoga tape or somethign and that way you would get up earlier before you go to work. i live by your work anyway. i wonder how julia would take us doing yoga in the living room.

i gues we could always join a gym, but my cheap husband is being cranky about spending that much money a month. ( i do love him he is just fun to pick on)

i am glad too. there was a time when i thought you would never stop hating me. i didn't want to talk to you because i was being stubborn too. "if she hates me so much then why the hell should i even try" then you came to my parties so that confused me even more. "i think she hates me, now i'm not sure"
then i would just get mad. "she shouldn't hate me so much hell i taught her to use fifth gear!"
ah well. i am happy i found those bugs at the garage sale and that i went to sam's party.
i remember why we liked each other to begin with, despite both our neuroses.

i know i know i should be being sappy in my own journal and not someone elses, but hey this way i can save the space in mine to post weird political things :)
