In which I bought treeware.

For my birthday, I quit smoking.

On my lunch hour, instead of smoking I went into the bookstore and bought myself The Eyre Affair, a book I’ve been meaning to read since it came out eight years ago.

Birthday book!

I mean, what the hell, right? It is my birthday, after all, and at least in this format G’ma can read it when I’m done.

Then, still wanting something – namely nicotine, which I was not having – I went into Starbucks for a hot chocolate. And they gave it to me for free, since it’s my birthday! Cool, huh?

In other super awesome news, dad’s taking me (and my brother) out for a birthday dinner to T. Mac’s after work tonight. How lucky am I?

    Update: I managed to smoke four or five cigs at the bar last night. Note to self: don’t go out drinking the very day you quit smoking.

    you are going to SO love that series!! I just finished listening to all of them again in audio format. The next one should be coming out soonish, so you are getting into it at just the right time.

    Happy B-Day to you!! 😉

    I actually think I bought this once and lost it. Or maybe it’s just been on my amazon wishlist for five years! -m
