My local gas station has a program where you pay 7 bucks for a cup and you can refill it all summer long with ice or fountain drinks! Now the cup is about 20 OZ and I drive past this gas station at least once a day. So in the week I have had it I have filled it up 10 times... it is already worth it and technically summer does not start for another 2 weeks!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.couponingtodisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Kangaroo-Express-Refills.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="http://www.couponingtodisney.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Kangaroo-Express-Refills.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Trust us. The higher frequency and slight 'electronic noise' built into that soundbyte will make a full-grown Admin wonder where his packets are.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">As for my weekend, yesterday I took my kids to a water park. It is always fun and for the first time the boys were big enough to spend time in the wave pool. For those of you that don't go to wave pools they are super fun and a great place to people watch, ours is good for an average of 1 boob an hour. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">Ya, you heard me right, the waves reach up to 10 feet above the bottom of the pool, with a crest to trough of 5 feet. So as you are lifted up and down and pushed around by the waves you will inevitably bump into other people around you. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So the two most common sights I see are </div><div class="MsoNormal">1) the girl in a swim suit of the wrong size, either to small or to large, it does not matter, and the swirling waters and up and down forces cause a “pop out”. Yesterday I witnessed one where the bikini top was dragged up by a wave as the girl was going down, letting both out, and one where the one piece top was dragged down my a wave as the girl was standing up, causing the suit to drag down and let one pop out. </div></div><br />

I had a breakfast burrito from jack in the box for breakfast, then I got to work and found we had Dunkin Donuts so I had a sour cream donut, then a coworker brought me in a chicken biscuit from chick-fil-a. That was all by 10am, so then on lunch I ran an errand and met some coworkers at Salsaritas where I had a Steak queso burrito with chips and salsa, then in the afternoon I had a Chocolate donut, and for dinner I had Outback Steakhouse cheese fries a wedge salad a baked potato and the 9oz filet crusted with blue cheese.

He had just got there so we had to wait for him to check some things, and while we were waiting the guard lit up a cigarette. This was my first random run in with a smoker right next to me since I quit.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

CHANTIX is a non-nicotine pill. It targets nicotine receptors in the brain, attaches to them, and blocks nicotine from reaching them. The best part about it for ME was that as I was on it for 3 weeks before I quit smoking (and started this blog!) so during that time it because easer and easier to not smoke, it let me break my habits slowly and over time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I firmly believe that this is the reason I am achieving the success in not smoking that I am enjoying right now.

And if all this thinking about not smoking is making me want to smoke!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Short answer is NO. (If you don’t care then skip to the section after the video)</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Longer answer is that when I was smoking I thought about smokeing and how I should quit 20 – 40 times a day, I couldn’t go an hour without one of those two thoughts running through my head. “I should go get a smoke” or “I need to quit smoking” or “I only have 4 smokes left, can I make it till I get out at 5pm?” or “Maybe I can quit after this next holiday”… as I look at it now it was non stop! This blog is a personal retrospective on the things that are different and a reaffirmation of all of the changes for the better going on in my life right now… </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Could I have spent over an hour messing with my bosses pens the other day if I still smoked… Probably not, because I would have stopped to have a smoke instead of getting his pens. Could I have made it through the whole hour long cardio class last night if I was still smoking… I probably would have coughed up a lung! Would I have noticed the oddly hot tomboyish girls that work at my home depot… Nope I would have rushed out to my car to have a smoke. So I couldn’t be happier everyday spending a few minutes typing up about all of the things I can do now that my mind is not tied up stressing about my next nicotine fix. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
