Omigosh! We STAYED UP until midnight! We haven't done that in years! This has been SUCH a relaxing week, despite house cleaning and sewing - and Oh, lord, my daughter gave me a perm Wednesday night, and I now have curly (very) hair again for the first time in a few years, at least. I'll get DH to take a pic sometime soon and change my avatar, since everybody is updating theirs! Anyway, I called my son to wish him a Happy New Year even though he wouldn't be in 2010 for another three hours. He was amazed that I was still up.
Back to work in three days. Oh, ugh. Realistically, though, it's just as well. As pleasant as this has been, it'll be good to get back into my old (eating) routine, because while I've been home, it's just gone from bad to worse. Not so much "junk" food, because I don't keep any of that around, but TOO MUCH of everything all the same. WAY more than I normally eat, that's for sure. I'm planning to make dinner for my kids on Sunday - a nice pork roast, which they all like - and I've been baking date & pecan bread, cranberry walnut bread, corn bread, and Apples Isabella, and freezing them as soon as they cool down from the oven. But first, DH and I have had to "test" each one with rather generous servings.
NOT good.
I mean TOO good, I guess. NOT good that we enjoyed testing it so much. I AM DETERMINED to start off 2010 with a return to healthy eating even if I DO have three more days at home where I can "graze" whenever I want. (At work, I have what I've brought, and that's IT).
DH & I are babysitting for our granddaughter and the little twinnies today so that my daughter and her husband can go out for lunch and maybe to a movie or something. Have a little time together away from the kidlets, at any rate.
Well, I need to get some things done around here before we head out, so I'll come back later to check in with all my
Golden Girls in 2010!
Love to all,
Z
