What makes this a Happy Friday for you?
I'm happy because I've been walking around all skinny (I lost 30 lbs) for weeks and no one has said anything to me. Finally this morning someone noticed and said I look good. Whoopie!

:woohoo:

5. I quit smoking
and replaced it with Cheetos and coca cola!

Then I gained 30 lbs and had to quit cheetos and coca cola. :(

I love cheetos and a coke ...

No, no ... I love raw baby carrots! (If I say it enough maybe it will come true!)

8. Qutting smoking caused me to gain some
weight and my eating habits never changed. Smoking causes your heart rate to increase so when you quit, your metabolism goes kaput!! Unfortunately, I started back.

10. For me it wasn't a metabolic change
I really started snacking like crazy. I just wanted sugar all the time. Still do, actually.

I read all this diet stuff that says to avoid white sugar, but damn if that isn't the best stuff on earth.

I gave up drinking 6 years ago too.

I've promised myself that when I hit 80 I'll go on a big drunk, smoke a carton of marlboros, and eat white sugar straight out of the bag. :evilgrin:

16. I'm gonna eat butter
Just peel down the paper and eat sticks of butter like they were bananas - when and if I make it to 88. And chocolate.

15. Tomorrow is Garage Sale Day
The highlight of my week.
You wouldn't believe the great books, CDs and furniture I've picked up for next to nothing.
I get to meet and chat with all kinds of people, and look at some of the strangest stuff that people buy and then decide they no longer want.
