Interesting night, indeed!

[H-Ellenback]

I got invited back to compete in a high stakes performing contest at the Hard Rock Cafe tonight, and I sat there grinning like a Cheshire Cat, not because I won, but because I went there alone, sat by myself, and made some new young friends, who began by apologizing to me for their rowdiness! What, just cuz I look like a rockin' Grandma...? LOL

I didn't shame myself, either, placed 5th out of 20 (damn the top chickies who won were fantastic!) and I actually had one of the young guys there sitting and talking about music and my experiences - he was a dang sponge! LOL but he was still learning. And what tickled me most? No ciggy cravings, even though I had a drink, and this young guy told me I smelled FANTASTIC (shoot, it's just my Outrageous shampoo!) Wouldn't get that as a smoker, now would I?

Hmm, interesting night! And I wasn't going to go, since I had to decide between singing, and going to a meeting. But I've been doing well, going regularly, and singing is also part of my recovery, isn't it?

Yea, singing IS part of your recovery!!!
And your night just sounded so cool!!!
I especially LOVED this one:

...this young guy told me I smelled FANTASTIC (shoot, it's just my Outrageous shampoo!) Wouldn't get that as a smoker, now would I?

No, I guess you wouldn't have, LOL!

Congrats on placing 5th. Dang good show, I'd say!
And even more kudos for not having any cravings! That sounds like a good sign.
(My cravings have lessened too! )

Keep it up, Ellen; it's great to hear!

Shalom!
