    Oh man J, I can't imagine what would happen to me then if I took them. I have vivid dreams normally! A different movie every night. Pretty strange ones sometimes.

In my dream I opened my eyes and saw this decaying face about 4 " away from mine with big veined eyeballs with no eye lids staring at me, no lips and only patches of skin and hair. It looked like it was smiling at me with a sinister smile. I tried to tell myself in my dream that "this is a dream." But to no avail, it moved slowly closer and closer to my face and I couldn't move away.

    I am telling you that this is one of the most frightening dreams I have ever had, it was sooo real.

    They aren't as bad lately and I am happy that the Chantix is working for me, I really want to quit now.

    I think I'll smoke... LOL That's scary!

    Wondergirl... did anyone get you something to eat yet?

    Hmm, sounds interesting. I'd love to quit smoking, I can only seem to do it when I'm pregnant. I quit for both pregnancies, actually quit for 4 years with my son, but then my parents died and I started again. Quit again with my daughter and then started again. Nope, I don't want to have another one just so I can quit smoking. ;)

    J, when's your next exam, how many left, are you almost done?

    It's cold and rainy here in Chicago. I need something warm and comforting for lunch. Any ideas?

    Hey Wonder! How are you? Isn't this wonderful weather we are having here in Chicago? I am sick of it...

    Synn, I don't know, I think I'll stay with my dreams, not scary, kind of pleasant at times.:)

    I need more coffee, I'm falling asleep!

    That's actually quite good J... that's 20 some less a day.

    And everyone is correct, you will do fine on this test... and then over the top!

    I have one this Monday on here is the breakdown of content on exam 5 : Burns= 15, Neuro 1=15, Shock =16, Dosage calculation =3 EKG Rhythm interpretation =1

    Then I have one next Monday and then the comprehensive final on the 30th.

    My dreams are actually VERY pleasant, bordering on FANTASTIC!! I'm not looking forward to no more Chantix :(

    It was 84 here yesterday, stormy in the morning, but sunny in the afternoon and 52 and cloudy today.

    Wow, you're almost done, that has to feel great! Congrats J, you are almost at the end of your goal. Stringer's right, you will do GREAT!

    Maybe I should try Chantix, I don't know if it's available in Canada, I've never even heard of it. I'm on other meds though so I'd have to check with my Doc, see if it's even okay for me. Worth a try, I so want to quit smoking, doing it on my own isn't working so well.

    It's around 10 degrees celsius today, I don't know how to convert that, sorry. It's a beautiful day, the birds are chirping, the bunnies are hopping, the dogs are, hey, enough poo, I've got tons to pick up as it is. YIKES!

    Friday morning was warm and sunny, but the 30-degree change in the early afternoon was scary. The grass is getting green and I saw a faint green blush on some Oak Brook trees yesterday.

    The coming week should be nicer, according to Tom Skilling.

    Oh no, I just looked outside, in my front yard. I think the little pine tree I planted last year is dead, or dying. Sigh, that's my daughters tree, she even named it, I hope it survived.

    Yeah, strange weather, I don't know about you but I need 75 to 80 degrees and bright sunshine for a while... I feel like I am paying for a debt that I don't remember incurring.

    K... here's the plan, ready?

    If it is dead, go get another just like it, plant it and she will never know... got it? Ssshhh.

    10 C is about 50 F, Alty. It's 15 here! :p hehe! A degree warmer for every hr it would take you to get here!

    Starby, not nice. You better clean up I'm coming over. Get out the lawn chairs and the margaritas you're about to get company. 5 degrees warmer, not fair.

    Stinger, I think I might have to replace the tree, I just hope that I can get it done while she's at school. She's only 5 but she's got a memory like an elephant, she remembers things that happened when she was 1. She's the kind of kid you don't make promises to unless you intend to keep them, because she will remember every word you said. She's also got a photographic memory. I don't know were she got this from, it's not inherited, maybe it skips a generation. Hmmmm.

    Have you ever bought a dog treat called Rollover Alty?. or anyone?. I think it's only available in Canada though.

    Nope, my dogs get milk bones and occasionally beef jerky for dogs. I haven't heard of rollover, what is it?

    I'll get the margarita mix out, and dust off the chairs. I'll get the umbrella out of storage and we'll get ready for the party! :D

    I'll bring the beer, and the chocolate swirl cheesecake I made yesterday (what's left of it).
