Hey all. Here we are at week three of the "Champ", and all I can say is "it works!". The little bout of cranks and snaps are gone (thank God), and everything seems to be back to normal (whatever that might be - lack of a better word). I have had a few weird days, but nothing I can't handle. I cannot begin to tell you how much of a miracle drug this little tablet seems to be. I am amazed before I am half way through - Champix should have it's very own 12 promises :) Yes, I am smoking somewhere around 3-4 cigarettes a day - a huge improvement from a pack/day. Okay, so I have to talk about my title "Sex and Chocolate". Have you ever had a deja vu? I had a full out "I have been here before" moment - AND I CAN REMEMBER IT. I had been told that vivid dreams were a huge part of smoking cessation, and now I know what the hell everyone is talking about.
But before I get to that, I must say that this morning I received a "push notification" advising me that I now have 330 readers on my little Champix journey. No shit. 330? That is both a little terrifying, and amusing at the same time. Maybe I am not nuts when I get the feeling that someone has read my blog? You know those people who look at you like they really know what you are thinking, because they have taken a little trip to The Dark Side Of The Princess? I've actually asked 2 people before if they have indeed read my blog - simply because of the coincidences in conversations relating to these pages. Anyways, they looked at me like I was nuts...they have not been here :)
Carrying on... after that little tid-bit of information (push notification), I thought, "well geez, I guess I should write something today". So today I will write about the amazing DREAMS I have been having on Champix. OKAY, so where do I start? I will start at last week, and work my way forward from there. (Funny thing, since receiving the "push" thingy, I actually feel like someone is "out there")...bygones. Soooo, dreams....I have had many in the last little while - and they have grown into an entity of their very own. The colours, people, places, and things I was doing are beyond my own comprehension. I'm not sure how a lot of these images snuck into my sub-conscience. I stand to believe that when you are dreaming, it is a manifested thought from days, weeks, years, prior; and it seems I might be wrong, because I don't ever remember thinking THESE thoughts EVER. I will not get into what I have been dreaming about - I just can't - but, I'm sure you have all guessed anyways - it's what everyone talks about when you tell they you are attempting to quit smoking - THE WICKED DREAMS. I get it...I got it...I have it...in my little noodle.
Okay, so back to my title "Sex and Chocolate". This is one of my dreams...haha...unfortunately I am not kidding..lol. No really, I am not kidding, it is a valid, thought out, processed, number crunching, profit producing dream (if ever I decide to bail from the helping profession). Just imagine for a second the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. (Suckers, you thought I was about to be graphically sexual - hang in there....it's coming). Okay...so you are now envisioning the Chocolate Factory right? Good stuff. Smells good right? (Ha! Funny how I can into your brain that way....words people, they are the key). Okay, so envisioning the chocolate factory, I want you to think of a similar store, but with colours such as red, black, gold foil, shiny burgundy dark wood etc. Deep, rich colours and the smell of chocolate. Now, lets add some music...If you haven't listened to Scarlett Jane "Stranger"..please do that now...it's playing in the background of my store...the one you are envisioning. Don't forget to add art to the walls...my art...all graphite...all skin...beautiful skin. Okay, now lets add some chocolate. Dark chocolates, milk chocolates, raw chocolate, silky smooth chocolate. And finally let's add a name and theme to my million dollar idea...."Primal Chocolate". Each box marked with words which are meant to seduce the potential buyer. Imagine a box of rich dark truffles with a creamy silky centre, and lightly dusted with coarse sea salt. These truffles will be appropriately named "Sex On the Beach"(hence the sea salt). (See where I am going with this?) Okay, now imagine a thin red and black foiled box filled with an assortment of different beautifully crafted chocolates in the shape of delicate silhouettes. These would be named "One Night Stand" (hence the different silhouettes) Oh my good God...I have a million more, and I swear on the bible at my neighbours house, that IF such a store becomes a reality in the future, I will know it was one of you 330 readers who decided to take a trip to my dark side! I will hunt you down....promise.
So, until tomorrow....dream on...and on...and on. Is it a bad thing that I don't want my little 12 week journey of Champix to end? LOL
For God sakes...go eat a chocolate...and think of me!
