I feel like going shopping. What should I buy?
Food? The refrigerator and cabinets are empty, but I eat out most of the time anyway and I have trouble cooking anything more sophisticated than an omelet. Maybe a cook book?

I've been decorating my condo and I could use a few more prints and some curtains.

An air freshener for my truck. Smells like burnt cigarettes in there. On second thought, maybe some Nicorette?

A new computer monitor? I still have one of those giant tube style relics. It still works good, though, and the picture is still sharp.

Some new music? Post your suggestions.

I'm leaning toward the prints and curtains option. I only have blinds up on my windows now and I'm obsessed with getting the place fully decorated.

1. I vote for the air freshener
reasonably inexpensive, will perk you up and make you feel happier to be in your truck. The Nicorette wouldn't be a bad idea either. :( my dad died of lung cancer and I'm on a nonpreachy crusade to encourage people to really think about whether they want to let big business rape them financially and then kill them in the end (no pressure on my part :-P) We need all the good libs we can get! Besides, with the money you save on smokes you'll be able to really spruce up your place

3. I quit smoking for 7 months one time
So I know I can do it. The problem was that I put on 30 pounds and I was already kind of a big guy. I just could not stop cramming my face and the cravings never really went away.

2. If it ain't broke don't fix it
Wait til the monitor explodes. They may have hologram monitors next week hehe.

From your list, I'd go with the nicorette if you want to quit smoking. That solves the smoke smells in truck and on your new decor. I'm not one to talk but quitting is always a good idea.

Do you like cooking and just have bad luck with it? I must say I can't really cook that well either, but I always enjoy the science factor of mixing stuff up and eating it. My favorite "go to" cookbook is an old copy of The Joy of Cooking. I know there have been a few new releases and can't vouch for them but the one I have is very handy.

Ever use a sewing machine? Those are cool too. If you are doing decor you might enjoy making your own. Learning new stuff is always good.

Umm.. no answers huh? lol, I just gave more coises. oops. I better have more coffee.

G'mornin Droopy.

4. Morning
The sewing machine is a no go. I don't have the room or the patience for it. I kind of like to cook, but I just suck at it and I really don't have as lot of free time through the week to do it seeing as how I work about 12 hours a day. I'm really good at using a microwave, though. :)
