Thanks, Gabe! I can easily say the same about your postings and your sitch. You never cease to amaze me.

I know that your work place is even more of an issue than mine, with your XW being a member of your department. Must make things very, very tricky, especially in light of her recent antics.

I do feel really good about not smoking. I can sit in a smokey bar now and not be bothered by it. Sometimes I even find the smoke bothersome, but what I really find bothersome is the stank in my hair and on my clothes! BLECH! I can't believe I've spent my entire adult life smelling like that. And I can't believe that I thought I was fooling anyone by trying really hard NOT to smell like that!

The main thing with the work outs is the time issue. Fortunately, SO is extremely understanding. He has his own things going on too, so he is very respectful of my time spent on and for myself. He's been very big into golf again this year, and has been rollerblading 12 miles at a pop, too. He got 36 holes in just last week! But he enjoys it and it keeps him out of trouble. And this is a big 180 for him. He used to get very jealous of anything I did that didn't include him.
