First Blog

Wow this is pretty cool. I googled how to start a blog and presto this comes in the google search. This is my first posting and not sure what to write. Usually I have a lot to say but I just quit smoking yesterday and am getting restless, irritable and disconent. I was restless irritable and discontent over five years ago because I was an active alcoholic and drug addict. Thanks to Alcoholics Anonymous (Fellowship and the 12 Steps) I am a recoverd alcoholic/addict. Hopefully the same process will work for my quitting smoking.

Just over a year ago I quit smoking and made it to a month. On the exact month anniversary I came home before work to find my Dad collpased in the bathroom after having suffered a major stroke. Following six hours with him in the ER I broke down and started smoking again. DOH!!!

I've had the last two days off of work. Must have been to Lowes a minimum of five times between yesterday and today. Christmas decorations, nails, a new clothes dryer, etc. I don't even really celebrate Christmas as I am Jewish and Chanukkah begins tomorrow (Dec. 1, 2010). However, I'm engaged to lovely lady who does celebrate Christmas and so my first tree went up yesterday. It looks pretty good. Tomorrow I'll light the menorah in front of it. LOL.

Well that's it for now. Just testing how this thing works.
