Hi, everyone. I'm married to my best friend & soulmate. We've been together 18 years. We don't have any kids of our own, but, I am a stepmom to two adults--40 & 33. I didn't have a hand in raising them. We've fostered briefly & hope to do more. Perhaps, adopting. We do have one kitty. I'm a virtual assistant from home.
I enjoy reading, movies, music, baking, taking long drives, history, technology, politics, walking, watching sports, dining out, thrift/discount shops, the theater, online forums/social sites, dancing, pen-palling, etc.
I started smoking five years ago. I know most people begin much earlier in life. I like the aroma of certain cigarettes. I was only planning to burn them (like incense) just to be able to smell them. I decided to try one & have been smoking since. I smoke a pack or less a week. It's more of an indulgence. I also found I'm a stress smoker. Even so, I still keep it casual.
The reason I'm here is, because, the past few days my voice has been raspy & cutting in & out. Before that, it was a bit sore. As I do customer service & am the sole provider (my husband is a disabled vet working on getting his benefits), I can't lose my voice or have it permanently changed. As much I enjoy smoking & how it relaxes me, I need to stop. I look forward to making new friends & the support.
