Warning: This blog has nothing to do with smoking because sometimes you just need to think about something else, right?

I am watching too much HGTV.

If I hear the phrase "open concept" again, I'll go crazy.  When I'm doing my thing in the kitchen, I don't want everyone in the house to bother/watch me!  Seriously, why does someone who has been invited for dinner need to see the hostess draining the pasta?  Sheesh.

And why does eveyone hate carpet these days?  When did that happen?  When I was young, nice carpet throughout a house was a real selling point.  Nowadays, every home buyer acts like carpet carries leprosy!

And why are "popcorn" ceilings so hard to live with?  Just don't look up.

Don't even get me started on the non-negotiable need for a walk-in closet that is the size of my first post-college apartment!

Yes, indeed, I'm watching waaaay too much HGTV.  I guess I'll switch to the Food Network.

The most excellent thing is that I don't even think about smoking any more.  When I first quit, it was impossible to even imagine my life without cigarettes.  Now, smoking never even enters my mind and the "new normal" (that I didn't believe I could achieve) fits me like a glove!

Instead of worrying about smoking, I'm having trouble separating from HGTV.  All problems should be so terrible, right?  LOL

xxxooo,  Sky

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
