The Wrong Side of the Bed

"The wrong side of the bed is the left side, according to a superstition that goes back to the time of the Romans. People have been saying other people 'got up on the wrong side of the bed,' 'awoke surly or grouchy,' for well over three centuries now, usually not knowing the real meaning of what they are saying, but the equally old expression 'got up left foot forward' tells the story. The supposedly sinister nature of the left is reflected in many English superstitions and expressions, such as the belief that it is unlucky to put your left shoe first, or to walk into a house left foot first. The Romans, especially Augustus Caesar, were very careful that they got up on the right side of the bed, but there is no evidence that they were less grouchy than anyone else." From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson
Hi, my name is Sandra. I live in Summerville, SC, USA. I'm 63, divorced & mother of two sons. I live alone with my cat, Buddy, in a split home with my oldest son. We still have our privacy, but it is nice to have him near. My youngest son also lives nearby and is helpful too. Both of them blesses me in so many ways. I have two grandchildren, an 18 year old girl and a ten year old boy. I was about 50 when the picture was taken. Older now, with more wrinkles, and I think more wisdom.

e-cigarette

I ordered a starter kit at e-smokeytreats.com thanks to Dustin Hardy at http://e-cigreview.com/reviews/43-esmokeytreats/78-e-smokeytreatscom-pen-and-mini-review.
Hoping this will help me lay off cigarettes, still has nicotine, but no ash, no tar, and no odor. I am very hopeful about this.
Well, I received the kit yesterday and so far I'm disappointed. Gives a nasty taste in mouth, makes me nauseous, and gives an immediate headache with each drag that increases for as long as I use the e-cig.. Back to thinking of other alternatives.

I started to delete this post. But then I thought why should I? This is my personal review : Wrong side of the bed. I wasted 82 bucks for something that made me sick. E-cigs are just not for me I guess. I may try what they call the veggie juice the first of the month. We'll see. I Just Need To Quit Smoking!

    Good luck quitting--I never started, but I've been friends with a lot of smokers who went through the difficult quitting process, so you have my sympathy

    p.s.--thanks for your kind words about my art on the Bluegrass Etsy blog--you're one of the people who inspired my latest blog post.
