As much as I didn't want to like Glee, I really, really do. It's wonderful. "trophies are like herpes" it's priceless.

Corporate crap

I'm currently on the phone with a company name office *whatsoundslikerepo*. I'm trying to buy office supplies. I can't remember the name of the particular supply I need BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BOUGHT IT BEFORE. She obviously speaks English as a second language. When I explain to her what I need, I follow it up with, "Does that make sense?" She responds, "I understand." I've been on hold now for almost ten minutes. She still has no idea what product I'm talking about - but I know they sell it. This is stupid, and this is the type of thing that's going to drive batshit insane.

Nevermind again. The patch has been completely ripped off and he's smoking again. Fabulous.

Nevermind again - he does have a patch on. Huh.

Disregard my previous post. It's 10:46 & he has yet to put his patch on. Oh well.

Letting go

My loving husband (really, he does love me) has decided to give up smoking after more than 2 decades.

I hope more than anything that he is successful.

I believe he has the strength and the willpower to do it. I'm not sure that he's ready to really tap into that strength to succeed. But I really hope he does.

He says he still enjoys smoking, but that he knows he should quit. So the acid test is: what is stronger, body or mind?

Vote with me now: mind, mind, mind. Make it your mantra for the day, at least. It was my mantra all day yesterday.

The warm, solid weight of children is irreplacable. It's soothing, in a unique and universal way.
