I almost missed it. I got so caught up in the excitement that I forgot to celebrate my 1 year anniversary. It was one year ago yesterday, Election Day 2008, that I quit smoking cold turkey. Yes, I miss it and yes, I am a few pounds heavier but every time I am weak I remember how cancer took away one of my dearest friends. I recall the day I chose to break the nasty habit and I think, “Yes, I can.” One day at a time, one month at a time…and now it has been a whole year.
The excitement I got caught up in is big news, too. I am now a contributor here.
My subject matter? Teen and Tweens.
Yes, the mother fucking Washington Times.
I’m looking at it as a reward…

Congrats to your lungs! I know how hard it is to quit. I am nearly 4.5 yrs smoke free.
Good for you! For both, but most especially for the quitting smoking.
Congratulations on your year! And I feel so honored to be part of the Times with you because you are such a super star!
Congratulations! This is awesome. And so what’s a few pounds? Totally worth it, I’d say.
You ARE a rock star. The first year is the hardest – you’re amazing!
Loving your writings on The Washington Times. Fabulous and funny as HELL.
congratulations–that is fantastic news! Both about your lungs and your new gig!
Congratulations – on both accounts! I’m so proud of you. Both of these things are wonderful accomplishments!
CONGRATS! That is a GREAT anniversary! Good for you!
Congratulations! On both quitting smoking and the new gig.
I am quit two months today, and it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it’s also been one of the best.
I couldn’t be more happy about this anniversary! Congrats!
Wow, congrats on both counts — I agree with Jessica — you ARE TOTALLY a rock star!!!
