12 Years

On Friday, I will celebrate 12 years since I had my last cigarette.  And every year I buy myself an anniversary gift.  But, this year I have no idea what I'm getting for myself.  The whole idea behind this gift giving was to spend some of the money I saved by not smoking--and so far, I've never even come close to spending what I would have spent on cigarettes for the year. I have one rule when buying my gift:  The item must be something I WANT and definitely don't need.  And so far, almost all of the items have been electronics/tech gadgets.  Over the years, I have gotten cell phones and PDAs, music players and TVs, and everything in between.  And this year, I don't have anything in particular that I want.  NEXT YEAR, I might be in the market for an Android tablet, but they're too new right now and I DO have the nookCOLOR, so I'm not looking for one of those yet.  And it isn't as if there aren't things I WANT, but I DO have a price limit to what I want to spend--and the laptop that I REALLY want is far too expensive for me to get right now.  So, I will wander through some stores and surf the interwebs and come up with something that will make me happy.  If nothing comes to me, I'll probably get a new TV for the computer room--after all, hockey season isn't far off and there will be 82 games to watch.  :D

Being In a Funk

I'm still having a bit of a funk going on in my life. To be expected, I guess. But, it REALLY is affecting me to see my best friend ...
