Singles Social Club: It's 5 o'clock somewhere!

[DCTooTall]

So I made a semi-random decision tonight.

I'm going to quit smoking....starting Friday (new pay period).



And the money I would've been spending on Cigs, I'm going to throw into a savings account to finance my trip to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal.


I figure this way I can keep my promise to myself to not go on another trip until I've paid down my credit card debts (since this money was already budgeted towards my nasty vice), and actually give myself a little extra motivation or goal to work towards to help keep me honest as I quit.


It'll probably be a short trip (maybe 2 or 3 days), so I'm thinking I may use my employee discount to stay onsite at a Universal hotel since the cost isn't too bad. But, I figured I'd throw this out there.... Would anybody else be interested in possibly joining me in Sept/Oct for a couple days at Universal and Halloween Horror Nights? Onsite hotel would be nice w/ their version of Fast Passes, and the boat ride from a night of partying at Citywalk.

Yay for quitting! I did the same thing with my cig money. I saved about $1500! That's a lot of money!

I might be interested in something like that. Depends on the dates. It's hot here in Sept, but October is a bit more manageable. I have yet to go to Universal.

Well as you know I congratulate you on your effort to quit. And support you 100%. You and your friends got a taste of how I feel about smoking anyway. . .lol.

Fan-dam-tastic!!!!!!

If you need any ideas, tips, support, whatever on that let me know. I quit 5 years ago next month after 18 years as a smoker, and don't even crave one when drinking now.

Here's to wishing you a successful journey to quiting smoking! You will notice a huge difference in your pocketbook! I had a friend who used to smoke a pack a day and she quit and would stick 4 dollars a day in a jar so she could physically see how much money she was saving and she was impressed just after a month!

Good luck DC!

If you have made up your mind, I am sure you will be successful in quitting!


How was everyone's weekend? Any crazy stories to share?

Thinking about running over to US/IOA for a little crazy fun in the sun. Other than that, not much going on here. . .lol.

I went to a warrior dash yesterday out in the boondocks. It was fun! After all, what could go wrong with beer and obstacles? Then tailgating at the Houston Dynamo soccer game.

I wanted to do the warrior dash they had here but I really didnt feel the urge to get wet and go running when it was in the 30's.

I see your point about being wet and freezing. But it was 80 here yesterday so that wasn't an issue. Instead I was putting on suntan lotion because I burn easily.

Did you dress up crazy or were you one of the normal people?

I was pretty normal. Just shorts and a tank top. Stuff I didn't mind being a mudbeast in.

Last night I was out a little late...went out for some drinks and to listen to a band. Then I was eating chili cheese fries at 3am. I'm trying to get up out the door to the gym and then home to clean!

Not too crazy what bout you!!!

I've never heard of that so I looked it up. Looks pretty muddy! I am always just amazed by the number of varied events put on at Disney. I think you should do it. And then come back and report.

 

[Madonna3]

I worked and since I work with drug addicts and alcoholics all the stories are crazy

Well we've already established that i don't mind being muddy...but i can't afford any more plane tickets right now... Maybe if they start giving away tickets for free...
