I had a very low key weekend. Friday night Mark, Amy and the kids came over for dinner. This was the first time I had seen the kids since the twins birthday party, over a month ago. The twins still weren’t walking……………..until Friday night that is. Izzy took her first few steps going from Amy to Mark. Nate on the other hand just crawled around a little and didn’t walk at all. Personally I think he might be too lazy to learn to walk, at least not before Izzy who never seems to stop moving.
As for yesterday, after watching the Cubs game, I went shopping for Tony and Annie’s (that’s Rene’s son and his impregnated girlfriend) baby shower. I’ll spare you the boring details of the shopping experience. Last night I watched Juno and Charlie Wilson’s War. I thought June was very good, I can certainly see why it was nominated for Best Picture. The lady that wrote it, Diablo Cody, is from Lemont, which pretty much the next town over from where I live. The movie was very well written and witty and the girl that played Juno, Ellen Page, was amazing. As for Charlie Wilson’s War, I liked that as well, although not quite as much as Juno. It was amazing to see how secretly things get done without us knowing until years after the fact. Now granted, I don’t know how much of it is true and how much got left out or changed, but it was still fascinating.
Well this is it, I’ve decided to quit smoking. After years and years of spending money on cigarettes, it just isn’t worth it anymore. There is the coughing and the struggle to breath. The high prices and the other financial costs of smoking. And what about the lack of taste in foods. The yellow teeth and the stench of smoke all over my body and clothes. The numerous endless health risks that come with smoking, every doctor says the first thing you should stop doing is smoking if you are a smoker. I mean, it just makes sense to……………wait, wait wait!! Just wait one God damn minute here. What the fuck am I saying? Something ain’t even right here. I don’t smoke. I’ve never smoked. I haven’t even taken one puff off of a cigarette in my entire life.
Whoa, that was a close one. At first I thought I was going to have to quit smoking.
