@ “I never saw you rolling your own cigarettes before. Why are you doing them now?”
“Because, the after my check up, the doctor said I should be getting a little exercise.”

We had made some changes in our life. My husband had recently lost 50 pounds and I had taken a job in a restaurant. When I returned home from my first day at work, I gave my husband a big hug and he clung to me for much longer than usual. I asked, “Did you miss me that much today, dear?” He said, “No, but you smell so much like pancakes that I hate to let you go.”

During a break at work a friend was reading the super scary Stephen King book: Pet Sematary. I had just finished the books myself and asked, “How can you stand to read such a scary book?” She replied, “I close my eyes during the scary parts.”
