About Me
This song best describes how I felt when I was in those difficult early days of my quit...when the pull was so excruciating, and those nagging thoughts of "just one" would not rest. I'm so happy to now be FREE, and I KNOW I'll never look back! I hope it helps or inspires others, as it did me :)

Shout Out
I cannot believe you did that to me last night!!!! You stood me up!!! There I was, all alone, waiting for my midnight delight and nothing! I even waited until 12:30. I'm feeling quite neglected now and I suspect Don had something to do with this, yet again. I tell you, I've about had it with him. You tell him if he doesn't quit imposing on our friendship, I may have to do something really drastic to him! Wait ............. no ....... don't .......... he'll enjoy that and be hounding me to do it! Hehehe No worries, I still love ya anyway, WENCH!

Little Love
ROFLMAO Girlfriend, you ARE 100% crazy!!! But, I LOVE it! LOL Thanks for all and yes, I DO make funny faces when we're on the phone, among other things. Hehehe WHOA! You called me a "wench". Them are fighting words! You best watch yourself, I'm a wandering girl now. I could show up at your doorstep any freakin day! My life is getting kind of crazy, but in a way, it reminds me so much of my younger carefree days that I'm beginning to enjoy the adventure. :) I hope your "adventures" have calmed down somewhat. We'll talk very soon, but know that I love ya and think of you alot. Later chickie!
