     Of course I had to have a cigarette before my first blog and because it’s 10:30 at night my makeup is off so I ain’t so pretty right now. However, I promise to live up to my name tomorrow! I thought I was pregnant yesterday and while this was not necessarily good news due to the fact I am broke, it would have been the deal breaker for my smoking habit. Yes, I am fully aware getting pregnant is not a good way to quit smoking but I don’t have to worry about that judgment because the cramps woke me up at 5:30 this morning and the pms came in full force when my Starbucks drive thru guy was way to cheery for my ass. He told me to have a fantastic day. Who uses the word fantastic? I seriously considered telling him that I was currently bleeding and his request would be tough but I just mumbled and drove off.   

I have decided to blog on Today.com because I want to win an Oscar. If you haven’t heard the story I am insanely jealous of I’ll tell it to you. The girl who won the Oscar this year for best screenplay (the movie Juno) got noticed by a Hollywood producer because of a blog she wrote on the internet. She was blogging about her experience as a stripper. I won’t be blogging about stripping however I may blog from time to time about nude smoking.

I started smoking in film school. Everyone in film school smokes, especially the writers.

I need a smoke break. (pitfall for reading a smoker’s blog. sorry.)

I’m back.

Actually why I started smoking is not that interesting. I’ll tell you later. What is interesting is my second idea for quitting. My back up plan for not getting knocked up was to run a marathon. I’m fairly confident you can’t be a smoker while you train for a marathon. But I wanted to make sure so I signed up for the hardest marathon I could think of, The New York City Marathon. I’ve never run a marathon before in my life. The only time I like to run is if someone is chasing me with a knife or I have ten pounds to lose in a week because I am going somewhere that requires me to be in a bikini. The New York City Marathon is by lottery unless you raise $5,000 for charity (my bank account didn’t qualify) or if you have a qualifying time (don’t quote me on this). The words, “Congratulations, you’ve been accepted into the
New York City marathon!” showed up in my junk folder today. This is going to be interesting. I do go to the gym, so I’m not untrainable. But I also smoke on the way to the gym and on my way home after I’ve worked out. Now I have to quit or be a smoker who is running her first marathon.

I need to sleep on this.
