I want a cigarette...

So today it was about 60 degrees out, beautiful, the kind of day in the past I would get a cup of coffee from starbucks, throw on a fleece, sit outside with a book, and let the dog run around while i read, drank coffee, and had a cigarette or two.
I have never been a smoker smoker- it was never a daily thing, only every once in a while. Just a beautiful day thing, stress thing, happy hour thing, social thing. I would go days or weeks without a cigarette, it was something I indulged in periodically.

So today I was driving home, windows partway down, beautiful crisp air, and this craving hit sooo suddenly. My first, OMG I MUST HAVE THIS craving, and what is it for... a damn cigarette.

Don't worry- I didn't get one, and I don't need to be talked out of it- I wouldn't have one. I don't need to be lectured on the habit- I know it is gross/unhealthy/cancer on a stick and all that. But I won't lie- I enjoyed them occasionally in the past. It just really stunk for my first legitimate craving to be for something I can't possibly even contemplate having

I know exactly what you mean. There are certain days that just bring back memories of doing something and you want to do it right then. For me, the first nice warm day I always want to roll out the grill and open a bottle of wine and then sit on a chair and get loaded. I do it every spring. If I was pregnant, I know id miss it like crazy! :)

Gosh you only just had a craving, lucky lucky girl. Sorry it was for a cigarette. My first thought with the warm weather was a nice cold glass of wine. I opted for ice tea instead. Tomorrow is supposed to be super warm, hope you enjoy the fresh air.
