P!nk - Blow Me (One Last Kiss) (Color Version)
I've had a shit day.....no kisses required....just blow me ;0)
Bad Day...
Okay so this IS a bad day, and it's not even 9:30am. I'm not sure what is going on, but I am feeling a bit useless, weapy, irritable, and short tempered. I am in a "take no shit" kind of mood. I'm not sure what has triggered this, but I am pretty sure it is due to the emotionally draining day I had yesterday along with the fact that I have had no sleep in a few days. I'm going to give it a bit of time, and come back later....
Till the sun rises.....

Funny Stuff....
Hey all. So, I have found a few minutes to catch up on this "make work" project that I have created for myself...yes, this blog. So, today I am happy to report that "things" are about as good as they can get. I am still having a small difficulty when it comes to sleeping, but again, nothing to really complain about. I have a friend, who just so happens to be a nurse practitioner, and she recommended I take Valerian Root for my little insomnia bouts. She showed me the research which backs up all of the claims and benefits for aiding in temporary insomnia of course...because I am a nerd who needs these things. So, as I was out and about last night, I stopped in at the Nutrition place in the mall and picked some up. BUT, as I was there, the owner asked why I was taking Valerian, and when I told him that I was quitting smoking and using Champix, he proceeded to "school" me on all the benefits of Magnesium. Who knew magnesium was so important? Really? When he started talking about the symptoms someone can have if they are deficient in magnesium, well shit, I think it described society in general...it is quite astounding!
After he explained why I should be taking magnesium, he asked if I have ever tried to quit smoking in the past. Uh..duh...yes. I told him that I have, but I have never been "medicated" to quit smoking before now. He then proceeded to tell me that the main reason people go back to smoking after quitting, is usually because of a nervous "tension", and stress's in their life. I could relate to the feeling he was describing immediately, and then he hit me with this "Well, that "feeling" is usually exasperated by someone who is deficient in magnesium". Hmmm....WOW. So, of course, I left with my Valerian AND a top of the line magnesium tablet. Funny how natural paths have a way of "feeling" out how to get you to buy something more.
Okay, now for the funny part of my evening. Every Monday night my son takes music lessons in town, and almost always, we end up at his favorite restaurant "Wacky Wings" afterward for something to eat. Well, last night was no different. So there we are, and the meal is great as usual; the only thing different this time was that we decided to stay for dessert. So as we are waiting for dessert, we are all talking up a storm, playing on our phones, checking our social media sites etc. We notice that the table next to us has not one, but two birthday girls, and approx eight of their friends. No big deal right? I figured they were only going to sings the "Birthday song" once (and secretly hoped I was long gone by then) and that would be that. What makes this story special is this: The two birthday girls were complete opposites - one sort of quiet, and one was a bit more dramatic. It didn't take us long to find out that it was their 19th birthday because the more dramatic one made sure we knew it. Another thing about these girls; they were both wearing a sash and a tiara. The sash (similar to that you would see on a pageant) read "Birthday Girl", and the tiaras were pink rind stones. Funny as hell in my brain (who does that?). Anyways, the drinks started coming after both of them showed their I.D. and all seemed to be going great. That is, until the tiny little waitress carrying 80+oz of beer in an extra large "tap" gadget (it looked the size of three blenders) with one hand, accidentally dumped the 80ounces of beer directly on Dramatic Birthday Girl.
I promise you that I tried not to laugh. I felt terrible for both of the girls (waitress + drama queen), but it was like everything happened in slow motion. I could tell the exact moment that birthday girl went from being in shock with a wet crotch...to PISSED OFF....TEAR YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT MAD. The waitress was apologizing profusely, her friends were biting their tongues, my son was not sure how to react, my husband was instantly telling the girl that she was now drinking for free for the entire night, and me...well, my iced tea was coming out of my nose I was laughing so hard. That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long, long time. Anyways, the little waitress ran away to get the manager before getting the shit kicked out of her..and drama queen took full advantage of the attention she was instantly in the center of. We got the hell outta there...I couldn't control myself...and I still giggle every time I think of it.
That is my "funny" for the day....
Until tomorrow....

Incubus - Wish You Were Here
The world is a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.....In this moment I am happy....happy. I wish you were here.
For my very good friend Sheena....taken from me too soon. Love you bella.
Sex and Chocolate
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!
