 don't forget to click!

     Aunt Betty just called me.  I so love her.  Don't know why she is so special to me she just is.  Haven't seen her in a few months (she lives in another town). 

     I'm in this group and saw were someone had posted that they were trying to quit smoking and wanted some tips on how to quit.  I wanted so badly to link them up to Pamela's journal but I thought it could come off as cold and insensitive.  I don't mean it that way.  

     My mom has tried quitting smoking before.  She would do pretty good until she heard from my brother or one of his kids.  This would always upset her and she would start smoking again.

    When mom went into the hospital when she fractured her hip she was forced not to smoke for the week she was in the hospital.  Before she came home she asked me to go to her house and get all of her cigarettes and bring them to my home.  She wanted to be able to get to them if she needed one really bad.

     To be honest I just wanted to throw the things away.  I really didn't want them in my house (i have enough junk and didn't want to chance my kitties getting into them) so I just put them in the trunk of my car.

    Since she has been home from the hospital she has asked me 2 or 3 times to bring them to her the next time I came over (she doesn't know they were in the driveway in the trunk of my car).  I would say yes I would do it.

    I really wasn't going to bring them to her (unless she really begged me), but to be totally honest I would forget she asked by the time I left her house.  The next day she didn't mention it and I still had forgotten it.  I wouldn't remember until the next time she brought up the subject.

     So my forgetfulness is helping her to stay off the cigarettes!  LOL  I am serious.  I do forget about it until the next time she brings it up.  I know if she wanted one bad enough she would call me to bring them to her right then or she would send dad to the store to buy some.  And that hasn't happened yet.  WOO HOO!

    Oh I saw today that the J-land "convention committee" has decided on a time and place for the big get together.  If you are interested go here:  ---->>
J-Land Convention Info  I doubt that I would go but they have picked a great place.

     Since I have started letting the cats on the back porch Maggie has gone crazy for it.  Now instead of coming and begging for food she comes and has me follow her to the back door!  It is so sweet.  I really wish I could let them stay on the porch after dark (so many wild critters they might get to see) but I am a little nervous since some breakins and stuff going on in the 'hood.  I have a hook on the porch's screen door but if you wanted in I am sure it would be easy to get into.  I just feel better with my back door shut and locked when it gets dark.  I am trying to think of something so I can leave the door open for the cats but at the same time give me a little piece of mind.  Don't know what that will be.

     A storm is heading this way so I need to get off and shut the computer down.

    Oops, I didn't upload a sig tag for this entry.  Oh well .....  you'll just have make it without one this time.  LOL

   And you (and you know who you are) email me.  Let me know that you are still alive and kicking.  LOL
