'Twas the Month After Christmas!

I got this from a very good friend of mine and just had to post it! It's so true! :)

'Twas the month after Christmas,
and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,
the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"

So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore,
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

I'll Be HOME......

FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!
Our long awaited trip is finally here and we are leaving tomorrow to go HOME for Christmas! This will be the first year in 2 Christmas' that I'll get to see SNOW on Christmas! They have over 2 feet so it's not going anywhere anytime soon! :) Today I've been packing and cleaning my house so that I don't come home to a messy house, which I hate. I had a party last night so the house was a disaster but it's gotten better!

I will try to post while I am there. I'm so excited about taking pictures of Brookie in the snow and what she thinks of it, so I'm sure that I will have to share them all with you!

Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope that no matter where you are or what the weather you will remember the true meaning of the season! For unto you is born this day in the city of David a SAVIOUR which is CHRIST THE LORD!
