Day 27: "One Slip" No, no, not ME! Just Pink Floyd lyrics...

Day 27 and Sky Girl is a NON-SMOKER.  Honestly, it's not easy every single minute, but I am just so proud of myself, I think I'd better dress up like a peacock for Halloween and go strut my stuff...yup, that's an image: a 57 year-old lady in a peacock costume
!  Ok, banish that image right now, please.

Here's what I REALLY came here to say:  I was bantering with stonecipher (someday, she's going to explain that username to me...) and the topic of Pink Floyd lyrics came up.  I was rusty on the lyrics, even though a great fan of them back in the day.  Stone referenced "Have a Cigar" and the irony was not lost on us.

But then I remembered a song called "One Slip", which has some lyrics that made me think about what it would be like to give up my Quit and start smoking again.  Read and see if you agree...

"One slip and down the hole we fall, it seems to take no time at all.
  A momentary lapse of reason that binds a life to a life..."

Wow, I'm so deep tonight!  Not your usual Sky Girl, eh?  Just don't smoke.  I won't if you won't.  Actually, I won't even if you do...but you get my supportive meaning, right?

P.S. Brenda M: Don't give up on me...we WILL find a workable date.  Youngatheart, start your engine...if you can quit, you can brave the traffic to DC.  Stone, I'm flying to Philly one of these days.  And, btw, has anyone seen CindyMac recently??

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
