Hi all...its been a long long time since I've written anything here...and I have to say, alot has happened since the last post...lol The year started out badly, but has come full circle now and I am truely a happy girl...You may be wondering why I'm so damn happy...Well its mainly because of a sweet, sexy guy I've been seeing...His name is Tristan and some of you know him...I am totally in love with this man who makes me smile on a daily basis...He has reminded me of my forgotten dreams and we seem to dream so alike its scarey...lol We are both enjoying the journey and boy is it an exciting one too...So...if you haven't seen or heard from me in awhile, now you know why...we are just so busy looking forward at the moment...I'm sure things will calm down a bit in the future and we will find a way to fit everyone we love in too...Keep the faith friends...and be happy for us...cause we are happier than we've been in awhile...peace out!!!

Today I am a non-smoker again...I am quitting and never going to smoke cigarettes again...I quit for about three years last time and was so damn depressed when I started up again...I hid from my family and friends, like I was in highschool again...lol  It is such a addiction...all your time is spent either smoking them or worrying if you have enough of them...can't leave the house without them...I refuse to let it hold me captive any longer...I have had bronchitis at least four times this year and the last bout was really scarey...I couldn't breathe and was hacking all the time...didn't dream for over a week....Well needless to say I was scared straight...lol  I know that I can do it...I did it before...and I also know that I will probably gain a little weight, like before...but even with all that I am determined to be a non-smoker again...wish me well friends and keep me in your prayers...lol   That I don't kill someone close to me...lol  I'll keep you up on my progress...: )
