As of today I made it 2 months smoke free!  Thank goodness - I'm going to need the money for gas!

Have you ever had thoughts about doing something that many people would think is just a bit crazy?  Not bad, not illegal.. just one of those things that is on the bucket list that you figure you'll never do.  For some people maybe it's learning to dance or drag racing or jumping from a plane.  I'm working on crossing something off my list...  (not that I need a bucket list yet...  but never too early to start).

Quitnet emailed me today to let me know that since I quit I haven't smoked 1000 cigarettes.  That's almost hard to fathom.  I mean, imagine those all in one place - that's a lot of smokes.  When did I have time for all that?

So there are 1200 people in lines at Papa Johns all over north east Ohio. They are waiting for 23 cent pizzas. WTF? They're waiting like three hours. Don't they have anything better or more important to do? One woman was out there for hours with her one year old baby. C'mon...

I think it's a bad sign when in a classified ad it reads that a vehicle runs "as if nothing has ever been wrong."  So something WAS wrong, but now it seems as if it wasn't?  Hmm..  not good.

I think it's interesting that May is Allergy Awareness Month.  Do we really need a campaign to let us know about allergies?  I mean, usually its the watery eyes that reminds me.

Don't forget this is Arson Awareness Week so celebrate in an appropriate but legal fashion.  I celebrated early by throwing my lighters away. 

A new poll has found that "...men account for 2/3 of those who identify as lesbian or gay..."
I wasn't aware that men could identify as lesbian!  Had I known I would certainly have done so.  I mean I already have the flannels and the boots.

That's 50 smoke-free days.  Quitnet tells me that's also about 906 cigarettes I haven't smoked.  It's much easier to not be smoking at this point, and the decision every morning to not smoke each day is getting easier.  Still have a ways to go though.  Still doing the patch program, and it's working pretty well.  About two more weeks on step 2 I think and then I'll be down to the last step.

In an ongoing tradition, several of the most snarky queer cinema critics got together for a makeshift film festival once again in Toronto, Kansas. Indeed they were the only 4 queer folks in one room for at least a hundred miles (and there were lights too!). For four evenings they perused some interesting films...
The films:
A Very Serious Person – 4.5 stars
Sordid Lives – 5 stars
Boys Love – 2 stars
Running with Scissors – 3 and a half stars, and half a crazy star

As in time flies, not fruit flies.  I swear it was just Thursday and we just arrived.  Alas, we are leaving tomorrow.  We've had a lovely time.  Yesterday we did a bunch of geocaching all around Yates Center and Iola, Kansas.  We even placed a new one in Toronto, KS.  Today we visited Courtney at her restaurant - she's doing well besides missing her voice a bit.  Got to see the new cabins down at Toronto Point - might have to stay there sometime.  It's all good.  Gotta run...

It's warm, the frogs are back in our pond, and they are noisy! (read: horny)
