SurPRISE!!!!!!!!!

Well thought I was going to have steak and lobster tonight but low and behold I went to a surprise 50th birthday party for me. I was so surprised and yes teary eyed as my loved ones and friends were there. What was so surprising is that my birthday isn't actually until next Saturday. My husband had me all fooled. I told him I didn't want a surprise party (but us woman just say that hoping we get it LOL), but we actually had it all planned to come home from Indiana next Saturday, have a golf outing and then a birthday cookout after. But, SurPRISE that isn't what is going to happen next Saturday at all. I was so happy tonight, and yes, I did think about it (you know) once or twice, but I had so much fun talking to everyone and not missing a single moment, because before I had to go (oh you know).Two of our friends asked my husband if I quit because they didn't see me go outside. They congratulated me on quitting and said we noticed. Geez I didn't think anyone noticed and that made me feel so great. See I don't want to tell anyone right now (only 2 of my 8 kids know, plus husband),quit smoking, because my youngest daughter (now in the Army so I don't see her) wanted me to quit so bad several years ago and I told her I promised I would quit when I turned 50. Well my birthday gift to her is to put my "stat" line down on an e-mail that I will send her next week. I'm sure she will get the hint when the "cigarettes smoked" total comes up. The only thing that really made me want a cigarette tonight was that she was the only one of the kids that wasn't there. But I know in her heart she could have if she was able.Other than that I had a FANTASTIC smoke free Birthday night. And I get to celebrate turning 50 all over again next Saturday (geez do I really want to get excited about turning 50 - I'm not sure LOL).I have been quit for 3 Weeks, 4 Days, 20 hours,Herbal cigarettes, 53 minutes and 13 seconds (25 days). I have saved $116.41 by not smoking 517 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Day, 19 hours and 5 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 5/13/2008 12:15 AMKim
