I had a very enjoyable dance party from about 9-11pm -- I meant to take a picture of me in my bling outfit, but I was running a bit late and missed doing that. So sorry! But I'll do another dress up soon and share.

Had a great NYE last night at a neighbors house. They were all amazed seeing me without at coat on LOL.... Kept my position far away from the food table and sipped my water. Had a Quest bar before I left the house so I would not be tempted to eat anything....
Very good planning Sue -- I knew there would be some crudité and some steamed shrimp at my dance party so I had a bit of that... then was sorry I had. The broccoli and the celery fibers seemed to cling to my teeth....
We dancers always drink a lot of water and altho there was wine last nite, I had no problem ignoring it. I would rather spend my calories on sweet stuff than alcohol any day, and I left before the dessert trays came out. Meanwhile, some cha cha, rumba, foxtrot, waltz and tango kept me totally occupied until the ball of my right foot began to scream at me. I came home in time to ring in the new year with DH (who can no longer dance), and then get this new thread started.

Making a roast beef dinner tonight for the family. Roasting up some cauliflower too. Went to the grocery store yesterday so plenty of fresh stuff in the house for the weekend ahead...probably the last of my weekends that I won't be working. Once the holidays are over, clients come out of the woodwork and my weekends get busy..
I have a real dilemma today - I am originally from the South and it's our practice to have at least a tablespoon of black eyed peas on New Years Day to assure good luck in the new year. I am cooking them in chicken broth with scallions added, rather than my usual 'streak of lean' (aka fatback), and my plan is to have the requisite tablespoon and skip my restricted bar for today.... hopefully this will not disturb my IP body chemistry too much.

Here's a bit for all of us...
