And.....they're off!

The 2004 Peacock Invitational is now in progress. Our contestants are:

Me
Tiffany
Joey
Jeremy
Tiger

The five of us are now on our honor to not smoke until March 15 of 2005. That's no smoking, period. No taking a single puff off of a buddy's cig. No pipe or stogie in the champagne room. No chaw or other sneaky ways to get nicotine either*.

The penalty if anybody fails is to pay each of the other betters $25 each. That means that for all of us the next cigarette we smoke in the next year would cost us $100. If that's not an incentive not to suck on a butt then I don't know what is.

Good luck my compatriots. I sincerely hope I don't see a dime from any of you.

* Exceptions are valid quit-smoking aids like Nicorette Gum or the Patch.

3 I'm torn. I'm really broke and would love making you all pay up, but being a quitter myself and knowing how hard it is, I'll just say "Good luck" and go stare at my empty billfold.

4 *whistles her support* I understand people who are quitting get grumpy. So I will keep the cheerleading irritation to a minimum.

5 Thanks for the support, y'all! And Helen, you can go wild with the cheerleading. One of the primary reasons for grumpitude while quitting is the sudden realization that our lives have a dearth of cheerleading.
