Treat Yourself

Awhile back I promised myself I would treat myself to something special when me and my husband hit the 100 day mark. Originally I was going to get a massage but after seeing how much money we saved (cigarettes in Jersey are 8.60) we decided to take a mini vacation while on one of my husbands work trips. He had to book a trip to Toronto anyway so we decided to make a long weekend out of it and see Niagra falls. The cigarette money paid for my flight and the hotel room for the weekend! We love to travel and we should have quit years ago. Just think of all the places we could have visited with cigarette money if we'd quit sooner! I am probably a little too excited for the fact that I won't feel like I'm climbing the walls while in the airport and on the plane from nicotine withdraw. I'm also excited that we won't have to worry about stopping for smokes, designated smoking areas, and when we can smoke. You don't realize or better yet you deny how much money you waste on something that does nothing for you except kill you slowly it's insane!

Now the only thing I have to worry about is the anxiety I get from flying, especially after seeing what happened on that southwest flight yesterday. Wish me luck
