New confession: My friend just text me to tell me his wife, who is one of my really good friends and was a BM is in premature labor. She is only 7 months, and they had to give her hormones for the baby's brain and lungs, and as soon as thats absorbed they will let her deliver. Their baby could be here within 48 hours, and will be an incubator for a while. So I'm really contemplating buying a now $750 ticket to fly home for 4 days at Thanksgiving so I can see her.
I used to smoke socially, on and off, for about 10 years. Then I had a bunch a dental work done and just stopped. At first, when I smelled a cigarette, especially when drinking, I missed it, but 2 years later I'm now fairly turned off by them.
And I confess, H has begun smoking more and more lately, and I don't like it. I wish he would stop. He used to do it socially, then it was one a day, now it's 2-3 a day. Yeah, not a huge amount, but I still wish he'd go back to "one when drinking and a friend who smokes is with me." If that.

I absolutely hate running, but my friends like it and I would always get talked into doing 5k's and 8k's with them. I was playing soccer regularly so I always insisted I didn't need to train. I tried an 8k at the gym on the treadmill once before doing it, but that was it. I always die when I do them. Shin splints, sharp shooting pains in my sides, heart attacks (or at least the feeling of it). And every single time I swear I'll never do another one again. Then I forget about all the pain and sign up for another one. I'm dumb.

Aw, my grandma used to always have those in her house. They remind me of her. That's kind of weird, I know.

[QUOTE]I confess that I have no plans in the near future to quit smoking. I really like it. I know it's horrible for me, but I just don't want to. (Stomps foot.) <strong>BF quit about four months ago, now he's all high and mighty about it. It makes me want to smoke more when he bitches.</strong>
Posted by Wrkn925[/QUOTE]
Me too. FI just decided he'd quit one day and never picked another on up. Just like that. He honestly wonders why I can't do the same. It's obnoxious that it was so easy for him and he expects it to be that easy for me. Not the case, bud. I haven't REALLY tried, but made some half hearted attempts that just depressed the hell out of me.

[QUOTE]I confess that <strong>we went out to dinner for our one month-iversary. And then both forgot our 5 year dating anniversary.</strong> We weren't planning on doing anything special for it, but I still think 5 years together deserved a moment of recognition. I confess that I really miss my motivation. I haz none. Work? Don't wanna. Training for my 10k next weekend? No, I'd rather just not and then die on the day of the event. Saving money? Screw that, let's just go out to eat. I need to kick my own ass into gear and don't know how.

Haha. Seems like the way my life always works out too.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : Yeah. Me too. But I'm beyond that at this point. I gave up, and I just don't care anymore. I'm huge, carrying a ton of amniotic fluid, baby's measuring at 8lbs 12 oz (I know, I know it's an estimate) and my vag feels like I have knives coming out of it. I don't even care if that's TMI. I'm ready to tag out.

Eeeeep! Are they thinking about inducing you?

Also, I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, but I've had dreams where I smoked. And in the dreams I'm always super stressed out and having a cigarette calms me down. Weird.

dude, I am in this same boat. and what REALLY sucks is my grandmother is dying a smoking-related death right now. she recently had pneumonia, and is on oxygen all the time. after her most recent hospital visit, the doctor told her if she didn't smoke ever again, she may live another three months. it fucking sucks. and I hate myself for going the same route.

H got an interview offer for a job in Seattle, and I'm really sad he's not even going to interview for it. Basically, they found his resume online and wanted to immediately interview him even though he hadn't applied for a job. Weird, but anyway... I'm just sad because he knows I've always wanted to live in Seattle.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions : Woah. And I thought the October 2010 board would get boring after the weddings were over. I'm bummed I missed that.

To be honest, I didn't recognize the SN, and I don't think anyone else did either. But most everyone is on the Nest now and some people changed their SNs.

I absolutely hate running, but my friends like it and I would always get talked into doing 5k's and 8k's with them. I was playing soccer regularly so I always insisted I didn't need to train. I tried an 8k at the gym on the treadmill once before doing it, but that was it. I always die when I do them. Shin splints, sharp shooting pains in my sides, heart attacks (or at least the feeling of it). And every single time I swear I'll never do another one again. Then I forget about all the pain and sign up for another one. I'm dumb.

I'm with you too. I'm baffled by how I can have zero desire to quit, and still watch people die over it. What worries me most, though, is my dad. He's a pretty heavy smoker, he's overweight, and smoking will only complicate things in the future. Then I feel like such a hypocrite becuase I smoke too. And blissfully ignore what the repercussions may be in the future.

Why won't he go for it? That's how my H ended up moving to LA the second time - a recruiter contacted him out of the blue. And he had been thinking about moving to LA to be with me, so it worked out.

I stupidly think "future-shmuture." and light another one. my H told me this morning he wants me to quit at some point. he is a smoker, but he can easily go without cigarettes. if I were to quit, he'd have no problem quitting, he's done it before. but when I've quit in the past (for like 3 months at a time) I became super ninja depressed. apparently you feel that way for about six months.

My Grandpa, who was a huge amazing part of my life, passed away in March from heart disease and emphysema. So the family is bearing down on me hard.
Mom is still REALLY good at those guilt trips....
Worst part? Grandpa smoked Camel non-filters. I smoke Camel Turkish Silver. Seriously, my family is going to strap me down and hide my cigs from me.
I see this unfolding like a scene from the Exorcist.
