Day #5 and #6 of my 21-Day Challenge

Don't worry, I'm still on the wagon...I just got in too late last night to post.

Yesterday I learned how to clean the house with out smoking. I also started to come down with a little head cold which has morphed into a full blown head cold today. It could be related to the not smoking thing since I think it is in my chest too. Oh well, better to be sick now rather than when school is in session!

I also learned that I no longer need to carry a purse when I go out with my husband because, 1.) He has his wallet and money and as you know, 'what's mine is mine and what's his is mine too', 2.) I can put my licence in his wallet if needed, 3.) I don't have anything to carry with me because I don't have cigarettes anymore. I don't carry make-up and he can carry the car keys in his pocket. I also don't take my cell phone out since he has his with him already...and nobody calls me after 8PM anyway.

Today I learned that I can spend 2+ hours shopping in Michael's Craft store without thinking about smoking and not rushing to get out of the store so I can smoke. Look at all the goodies I got...and they were on clearance!

I've never looked in the bead section before, but look at all the cute embellishments I found!

I wonder what I can do with that SISTER sticker??? I see a future Bloggerette Sorority Project!

This is actually from a store called 8 Ball in Burbank that is going out of business.

I'd seen these before, but now I have a plan for them!

Each card is about 8 1/2 x 6 in.

Yes, $7.00 for 148 12x12 papers!

I have enough stuff to keep my hands and mind occupied for awhile! I have not made it to the gym again, but I have not given up on it yet. I did get a workout while at Michael's today though, all that squatting up and down looking at the shelves, bending, reaching, walking around the store...that counts right?
