Hey all, gunna try to do some catch up here before running out to assault this gorgeous Friday (82° and sunny today, woot!).
Go Mavs and Kel! Keep it up! It's totally worth it. I was mostly a social smoker, but I did find myself really craving a cig when I was stressed. That's when I stumbled upon a little bit of something that I think everyone should know, smoker, ex-smoker, and non-smoker alike. What I realized is that when you're smoking, you breathe differently. You take in a very focused breath, hold it in, then blow it out purposefully. When I quit smoking, I found that if I just breathed like I was smoking, it really helped with the stress. I quit over 7 years ago, and I still use that breathing technique when I'm stressed.
MsG, good luck with the sugar thing. Last fall, hubby and I decided to give up corn syrup/high fructose corn syrup completely. It's crazy difficult -- corn syrup is in frickin everything -- but I'm glad we did it. It does mean basically giving up breakfast cereal and things like hamburger buns, but unlike when I've tried to give up all processed sugar, I don't feel deprived. We keep honey around for when I bake bread and for in tea and such, and I've switched to a sugar-free coffee syrup (hubby was already a Diet Coke man). And when we want a treat, we go with something that lists "sugar" instead of "corn syrup" on the label, like good chocolate or Ben&Jerry's. It is kind of shocking to me how many things corn syrup is in. 
As far as commitment goes, I say as long as you call, your siblings will get over it. (Though I think my brother might kill you for missing a Jazz game, lol.) 
Ok! Work! Optometrist appointment! Finish sewing my swimsuit so we can go to the beach tomorrow! Woo!
Highly caffeinated,

Forget MrG! What about God and Charlton Heston?
Well, on the bright side, at least MrG likes your sibs enough to give a damn. And hey, they're siblings. It's not like they're real people. Sibs crap on each other all the time and it's all good.

Hindsight is 20/20, but you got some excellent children out of it. Look at it that way.
Besides, that man IS a cancer. He doesn't CAUSE cancer.

Happy, happy Friday! I love Fridays. I especially love Friday night, crawling into bed knowing that I don't have to wake up at any specific time the next morning. Friday nights are always about promise. The promise of sleeping in, of a fun weekend, of time away from work. Ah, Fridays.

the word commitment
If you had been sitting around with a group of friends and one casually suggests " We should get together. You could come over the next night to watch a ball game" and you say " sure that'd be fun " Would you say you'd made a commitment to be there??
If a specific day is mentioned, then you've made a commitment. If no specific day is mentioned, it's ("you should come over sometime"), it's a suggestion.

Okay, it's a rare day for me to LOL. I smirk. I smile. I grin. But I never, never, NEVER cry! Not until today. Have a great time at the beach. This one act of random humor has earned you the right to perfect bliss for the weekend.

RugBug's whole train of thought made me think of this. And then wonder what's really on her mind. (not the Jazz I'm bettin'.)
