We are celebrating my youngest son's 42nd birthday this weekend & the Silver Anniversary of making chicken enchiladas for his birthday dinner, with sauce hot enough to warm up anybody's innards, referred to (by those brave enough to eat them) as: "WHHH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" (enchilada-speak for "Ye gods, those are hot!!"). 2009's didn't disappoint, my friends. I watched sweat from my hubby's scalp run down his forehead & into his eyebrows...my criterion for successful enchilada-making.
One o'these days we'll have to have an old fashioned cyber-par-tay for all our smokefree friends...everybody from TLOS (The Land O'Smokeless) is invited...potluck, so bring your fave dishes. I'll give the hunky firedudes and firedudettes a call; maybe somebody could get ahold of Tiny Tina, the elfette. Mike, hopefully you can sneak away without havin' to drag Mel with you. Whaddya think, folks??
I'm grateful to be smokefree today & able to enjoy my son's and my hubby's company without having to excuse myself to go smoke...how cool is that?! The smokefree life is lived one day/hr/min/sec at a time, WITS (Whatever It TakeS), WIN (Whatever Is Necessary)...and with a full and conscious acknowledgment that I don't do it alone. God's grace, working through family and friends, is responsible. I'm merely cooperating with his grace.
In the coming days I'll be posting "The Patience Prayer" (a take-off on "The Serenity Prayer") and other quit/nicotine/addiction links, tips, info gleaned from various sources.
Enjoy your smokefree Saturday!
