Yup been smoking since I was, arrr 11 years old.  Not very proud and my hubby has never smoked a day in his life, well not cigarette smoke and the other type he swears he never inhaled.  LOL (i crack myself up sometimes)
Thanks, yeah, hubby and I talked it over tonight and the dream is dead for now.
I have to phone everybody and face the humilation of telling them it won't be in October.  Feeling a wee bit like a loser right now. (yeah I know, what do you mean just right now LOL hohoho) 
 
I will get over it, by this time next week I plan on having a new game plan and coming back stronger (or fatter) LOL j/k than ever.
I will be following closely those who are competing right now, taking notes and I am hoping that the bright, wonderful, all knowing, gorgeous Shadow will still help me out and I know/hope I can always count on you AWESOME girls (there is my shameless plug) LOL
