:merry:
I have been very productive today... but at the same time...
not getting anything done.
I know that doesn't make a lot of sense... but it is true.
I am so jealous of you guys baking. I usually hate to cook .. but I always loved baking Christmas goodies for my family and others too. This year I am just not willing to take a chance of caving into temptation. I am doing good food wise... and I want to stay good
MORE than I want anything... even baking for family and others. I am not willing to take any chances. There is always next year when I am skinny to bake again.
But ... ohhhhh .. those goodies all sound soooooo good.
Michelle.... I love those chocolate covered apricots ... I use white chocolate and then roll in finely grated pecans. Mmmm
Are your cherry pecan cookies made out of a cake mix.?? Oh those are sooo good too. My favs are the WHITE Chocolate dipped pretzels.. NO will power when it comes to those either. Mmmmm
Okay... I have got to change the subject... I am drooling here. LOL
I had a GREAT on program day here. Went out for a nice steak dinner and substituted the grilled veggies for potatoes ... drank water and did not even lick my bread. LOL What I am most happy about is... I stopped when I knew I had eaten enough. My brain does not tell me when I am full. I am defective in that area. But I KNEW I did not need to eat all of my steak and I stopped. Often I say I am going to stop... but then nibble away at it until it is gone. Not anymore. As they say... Enough is Enough.
Barbg... you look so good in your new haircut I am surprised she didn't ask if you were his SISTER !!!!
I love your new do.
Terri... I too thought the first time you post ISO you were just guessing like everyone else.
It is sooo easy to miss understand via online.
Thin... did you get your treeS up yet ?? I know you do several. I hope you post some pics of them. Hmmm.. that is an idea
... we could all post pics of our trees.
Of course... pictures are NEVER as pretty as the real thing.
BarbPA.... yes indeed. That baking IS hard work. I don't miss standing on my feet for hours. I don't miss the clean up either. LOL And this year... I am NOT going to miss the added pounds I gain either.
I AM DETERMINED TO LOSE WEIGHT THIS CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY !!!
It is sooooo cool here. My neighborhood goes all out decorating at Christmas. We even have a grandpa who dresses up like Santa and greets the kids individually. He does a super job of it. When we came home from dinner there were a minimum of 30-40 cars lined up to see Santa. If only we had some snow... that would make it so much Christmasier.
Oh wait !!! I got two more cards today !!!
Kerri... what a lovely family you have. You are so young and very pretty.
CD... loved your card .. and your note.
Susie... I got your card too.
I was disappointed not seeing Andrew's pic
Speaking of cards and photos. Don't forget....
Today is the last day to earn your weekly bonus.... and Monday is the bonus for including your photo with your Christmas card. Don't forget to give yourself credit if you earned them. Posting photos online is not acceptable for bonus points. BUT we all still want to see them.
I really liked my "secret good deed" I did this week.
It made me feel good all over.
Okay... back to being productive... except this time getting stuff DONE. LOL
I can't leave without continuing our little song.
You know Dasher and Dancer...and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid...and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall...the most famous reindeer of all.....?????"
Ruldoph the RED NOSE reindeer...
Had a very shiny nose....
and if you ever saw it...
you'd even say it... GLOWS .
All of the other reindeers ...
Use to laugh and call him names ...
They wouldn't let poor Ruldoph
Join in any reindeer games....
