Congratulations! Treat yourself to something really great today. Giving up smoking is VERY difficult, I know, it took me oh, about five tries to finally quit for good. That was, wow, 16 years ago, March 11.
BTW just finished reading C&S the Sequel, cover to cover last night. LOVE it. Love your style. I now have a long list of projects I can’t wait to get started.

Congratulations! I’m proud of you!
We studied about addictions @ church & the research shows that it’s harder to quit cigarettes than it is to get off heroin!
Think of how much more of your children’s lives you’ll be able to share!
You definitely made the right choice.
Lauren says
Congrats, Cathy…it’s awesome for YOU, but really really awesome for your kids, and also your grandkids. Gotta do all we can to make sure we’re around to enjoy them….even if it is down the road a ways.
Jane says
Ok just placed the order for my last set of stamps I need to start by April book! I was lucky enough to get just the numbers I needed from company believe it or not…..I don’t need the letters and in my conversation with the guy he said he had a set that had bad letters in it and if I wanted he would send me just the numbers…WOOHOOO! Uh, YES and for only 10 bucks!
And I did see the pioneer woman web site this morning and cracked up! I think someone is trying to tell me something!

WTG Cathy! two years is amazing, you should be so darn proud of yourself for being able to say 2 yrs., of course you should know now that you can stay this way for many more years. This is one of the things you talk about on your blog that helps me and my goal to keep as an ex-smoker. Hopefully someday I will be able to say 2 yr. anniversary, too.

It’s not like you need another comment (wow – 100!!) but I just have to tell you “way to go girl!” for quitting smoking. Love these tags and I started making my own. Also – thank you so much for the David Bowie video. Loved finding that as I LOOOVE that song and it’s my “David Bowie” favorite. Loved the different versions of it. Thanks! Keep up the good work! 😀
