What I did today instead of smoking:

1. Texted that I was running late to work while driving. This is now illegal in Arizona This might be illegal someday in Arizona, but isn't quite yet.
   
2. Wore a cute belt over a turtle neck tunic sweater - perfect for rainy Arizona weather.
3. Picked up new prescription for Chantix - $170.00 budgeted for this expense. New BC/BS of California Rx insurance brought the retail price down to $20.00! I told the pharmacist that I would get a new pair of shoes! But coincidentally #4 is:
4. Bought a new pair of shoes yesterday! Went to DSW to spend a gift card from Melissa and had no idea what I wanted. I did not pick these shoes - they picked me. They are superb. I will post a photo later after I shave my legs.
5. Took a picture of a rainbow in the parking lot of Desert Ridge - so pretty!
6. Watched 24.
7. Treated myself to a new outfit from Kohl's.

After my post-work shopping trip, I wanted a cigarette - another trigger of mine is when I feel accomplished, I want a cigarette. Weird, huh? I took a deep breath and the want went away.
