It's official!

I am an unfeeling jerk. I know this sounds harsh and shocking. In my defense - no one told me, I think. I knew my brother-in-law had surgery so he could breathe better. I know my husband told me he was going to use this as an opportunity to quit smoking. No one told me that it worked! I guess it never occurred to me to ask either. I am so sorry!

How did I find out you ask? Let me tell you. My husband and I don't smoke and we don't let anyone smoke in the house. Well, during our Christmas Day party about half the people smoke and half don't. So when the one half went out to smoke and I was walking through the house and noticed brother-in-law was still INSIDE I said to him 'everyone else is outside having a cigarette, why aren't you?' I could have cut the air with a chainsaw. He looked at me and blinked and I stood there blinking and then he says that he hasn't smoked since his surgery. UGH! No one had to tell me that I was a jerk-I knew right then and there. I tell him congratulations and run into another room and try to wedge myself between the couch and the wall so no one can find me.

A while later I am found and told that he hadn't had such a bad craving for a cigarette up until today-way to go you big jerk. I feel awful and think what can I possibly do to fix this? Hmmm, my candles! I have one that I call Santa's Pipe. It has tobacco, cherry and vanilla and smells like a pipe. I gave it to him as a peace offering and told him that he can sniff this when he gets a craving. Well, today is the 3rd of January and it is still working. He said that is has helped his mental addiction and when he smells the candle his brain thinks he is smoking a pipe.

I am not sure if this is only him or if it would work for others. So, if anyone orders from me if you would also like to receive a free 2 ounce Santa's Pipe Sample I will send it along with your order and as always free local pick up for anyone who wants to stop by.
