This is not the picture I had in mind, but hey, it is of me. As you can see, I had my hair cut recently. The hairdresser cut my bangs too short and I can't wait for them to grow back. The other woman is the current flotilla commander. She is the friend I spent New Year's Day with. Behind us are the division commander and vice commander.

How am I doing with quitting smoking? Still not smoking and it is nigh on three months now since I had my last cigarette. I won't lie though. Every day I feel the urge to smoke but eventually, the urge passes. I do, however, eat and next I have to lose weight. Ugh!

Happy Easter, Dottie!
You look like you are having a great time at the conference!
Congrats on the success of your quitting smoking! Woohoo!

It is so hard! I actually pulled into a gas station to buy a pack but stopped myself. I thought about how hard it was to stop to begin with and realized I could not do that again.

I am so proud of you. The urge to smoke will go away. It takes a couple of
years. You look great.

A YEAR? Yikes! Sometimes the urge is very strong. I am, however, sticking with it!

You look great, Dottie. I'm admiring your rows of service ribbons (or whatever they are called).
comment by troutbend on Apr 8, 2012 6:07 AM ()
Yes, they are called ribbons. Thanks! This picture came out ok, which is why I posted it.

I quit for four weeks but started again when Hobbie's terminal diagnosis came back from the lab. I will try quitting again. Good luck fighting the urge to overeat. That comes with the habit-fight.

Yes, I fully understand that. You sure will not hear me criticize you for that.

I've concluded that you're fairly hard on yourself (putting yourself down). Your hair looks fine, you're not obese, you look happy, you have friends. I'm happy about your quitting smoking. One thing at a time, Dottie. Relax and enjoy life (easy for me to say!)!

Despite the fact that I vehemently disagree with you at times, you are my "secret crush", so your words made me smile. Alas, there are a thousand miles between us! Back to reality... sigh.
