[Roller831]

We do this blog every Monday to offer encouragement and camaraderie to those in No Man’s Land -- months 2-3-4 of a quit and for those somewhere in-between who have less than 1 year of a quit. Regardless of how long you’ve been quit, anyone who likes the conversation and wants to offer support is welcome to participate!

*********************************************

1. What show on Netflix did you binge watch embarrassingly fast?

2. Which celebrity do you shamelessly follow in the news?

3. What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?

4. What is your favorite smell and why?

5. What food could you not live without?

Ha I love this thread, so fun!

1. I pretty much binge watch everything I watch on Netflix.  I usually reserve Netflix for the weekend, when I was quitting I was watching Magicians.  Altered Carbon, The OA, Black Mirror, Stranger Things, Dark, Travelers, The 100....I will basically watch anything Sci-Fi or Space and B movie...I'm fine with that.  I also have Amazon Prime and Hulu....I know I hate myself (joking) I need to get out more.

2. I don't follow any celeb per say but I live in Orange County...just south of LA so it's sort of unavoidable to hear Hollywood gossip.  It's part of our evening news.

3. Man, I wish I was a 900 number operatior...or was secretly in a band that was near Joan Jett!!  What!?  Sadly my less known item is not as ambitious, I am a high school drop out.  I finished my Freshman year in high school and was pretty rebellious so I moved out early and worked two jobs and didn't have time for work and school.  I did earn my good enough degree (GED) though and graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration in 2015.

4. I am a SUPER smeller...meaning I seem to notice scent when others don't which has only amplified as a non-smoker.  I'm pretty stoked on Febreze Fresh Linen smell right now but I'm also a sucker for legit fancy French perfume.  Not department store perfume but the high-end boutique stuff.

5. Southern California Mexican food...it's a staple in our house.  Carnitas, Carne Asada, etc.
