MAY I HAVE EVERY ONE'S ATTENTION PLEASE??!!!
Believe it or not .. the cigar picture made quite an impression on some of you .. for those that bombed me with email..
why YES.. I do know that smoking is bad for you .. I am 35 and I am very well informed.. I made it this long through life.. I think I did quite well for myself.. I find it funny I got bombed with mail about this however...not one person has warned me of the down side of drinking.. and my whole blog is covered in a martini theme... Also while I am on this tangent.. I dont smoke a whole box of cigars a day! .. I smoke maybe one a week... ONE!!! and I dont inhale.. you arent supposed to inhale cigars..
So all of you out there concerned for my health.. should be more concerned with all the second hand smoke I had to inhale for years working in a restuarant as a server and not my one cigar a week "habit" if you can even call it that LOL.....if i even smoke one a week.. ... it would be totally different if I were polluting some one else's air.. but I am not ... just my own..
Then there are the rest of you that had to ask if I knew how phallic a cigar looks... well DUH.. come on guys give me some credit here.. I like to think I have a few brain cells....I smoke them for me.. if guys happen to like it.. well that is fine.. if you want to approach me and talk about cigars I will be happy to do so.. if you ever see me out smoking please come on over and have a seat.. as a matter of fact I love talking about cigars.. and martinis...BUT under no circumstance will I talk about other things that smoking a cigar may or may not look like with a perfect stranger.. so dont email me and ask those questions either.. I will not answer you ...
on to better things.. I found a throw I liked.. I am sure some of you have seen it.. the Absolutely Fabulous Throw by Colinette.. I cant bring myself to pay 185 dollars for yarn for one project... I couldnt do it so I took my own approach to it..
here is what I have so far ..I went a little wild with colours but I like it.. I think I need some mohair thrown in there for good measure...
well that is what I am off to work on now.. have a great evening every one !!

OMG did ppl really email you telling you smoking was bad for you?????
Back when I could do those things I loved a good cigar every now and then. Unfortunatly since we quit smoking that meant I had to give up cigars too (too tempting to pick up those other things) I miss cigars.

wow... talk about being rude! Some people have the nerve :(
Loved the picture! couldn't imagine why people would get so upset.
And what's wrong with having a little falic fun once and a while? >:)
That throw is beautiful. Reminds me of the ocean with a rainbow of waves. Keep up the great work!

That throw is absolutely beautiful, the colors are so rich and it looks so luxurious.
As far the smoking is bad for you, no shit. It's always the ex-smokers who feel the need to lecture.
Phallic symbol: I thought that was why women smoking cigars was considered to look so sexy.

Damn you make me laugh!! I wish I lived closer to you cause I would want to hang with you!! I use to smoke and I hated it when people would preach to me about not smoking. I am an adult and if I want to smoke I can! (I still miss it sometimes)

To use one of your favorite sayings, Beth- For fuck's sake, if they've got a problem with you "smokin" a stogey then they'd probably be all up in my shit over my pack a day habit! Like you said, you're an adult and don't answer to anyone. God, the nerve of some people.
Light up another one, girl!

Good God, I can't believe people got after you about that picture! I smoke cigars all the time and nobody ever gets after me about it. Do we have a bunch of grannies reading our blogs or something? Do I need to worry about how many times I say "fuck" on my blog? I write it for myself, not for anybody else!

Oh man, I got busy and didn't comment about your cigar pic. I'm sorry you got stuck with crappy emails! There is nothing wrong with smoking cigars. I love sitting out on our porch late at night with my husband while smoking a cigar.

Dang, Elizabeth, you are doing an awesome job on that throw! Makes me want to do one. The cigar pic was great, but you know that. Nothin' beats a really cool photo, if you ask me!

I'm hoping I can word this right, without it coming across as a lecture. Some people get offended, as I do, because we were never given the luxury to think that something small like a cigar once a week won't hurt us. That's the only reason I would get offended. Two of my best friends in the world, had to have lung transplants so they wouldn't die before the age of twenty, and I have lost two other wonderful people for the shortage of lungs. I cannot ever take the sight of a person smoking lightly. But, you brought up an excellant point...I also have liver disease, and I don't feel angry when I see people downing a beer. It's an interesting double standard.
That all said, I didn't care about the smoking picture. It might have given me a momentary twinge, but if I didn't feel a need to post despite having a serious lung disease, other people should back off. This is just my way of saying some people might have a very good reason for being offended, is all. Don't NOT post, because SOMEONE out there MIGHT be offended. Free country, free speech, free will.
I love your blog, your attitude is just awesome, and I like women who are like you...bold, without apology.
