A $45,000 Bonus


My boss, being so delighted with my decision to stop smoking called me into a room that kind of resembled my high school library. A few of my coworkers were present and everyone was kind of talking at once, so I wasn't quite sure what was going on. He reached into his pocket and handed me a check for $45,000. Puzzled, I asked him, "what's this about?" to which he replied, "just a performance bonus." I can tell you, I don't get bonuses anywhere near this, and instantly I thought, "Well hot damn. I can get pregnant sooner than I was planning to."

And then I woke up. Seriously - didn't think the crazy dreams would start so soon, nor did I imagine cottonmouth this bad. And since I get to keep smoking for another 6 days, well, the taste is now just plain nasty. Bye bye buzz. I'll miss you.

Holla bitch. You can do it. I dreamed I was the pilot of a plane, but instead of the runway, I was using Billy Grahm Parkway.

My friends did Chantix, and were able to quit easily. they had a hard time staying quit though. With the support of your friends and little temptation you'll be fine! Stick with it! I'm here if you need to freak out or anything. It helped me. I'll give you a 30 day pass but after that the gloves come off :-)
