Well I'm marking this day on my calendar, for today I'm actually kindred in thought with Gwyneth Paltrow. I never thought I'd say that.
Anyhow, just this past weekend I said that I would take up smoking when a senior because why the hell not? I'll be old and OMG I miss smoking like a demon. I love everything about smoking save for the fact that it's deadly.
So imagine my surprise when I opened up Now to troll for gossip and find Goop Girl has said pretty much the same thing.
‘It's such a beautiful thing. I'm so pissed off it gives you cancer. Cigarettes were my upper, they were my downer. I would think with them, write with them. I just love them so much.
‘But then, once you have children, if you've witnessed a death like I did with my father, you just can't. But I've decided that when I'm about 70 I'm going to start smoking again. Why not? I can't wait!’
I couldn't agree more. I miss it so much. But not enough to take it up again. For now. Stuff will kill ya', or so I hear.
I'm on that bus w/you. Smoked for almost 10 years, quit when the stick turned pink, and miss a lot about it. A lot.
