Against my better judgment, Santa decided to bring my daughter a fish (hey, they're cheap). She was very excited, and chose the clever name of --- drum roll please --- "Swimmy". Now, Swimmy will make his (well, actually it's a her, but my daughter insists it's a he) way to my daughter's room and call the top of her desk home. However, right now he's on my kitchen counter, and, darn if I'm not finding him quiet entertaining. I've actually found myself pondering, would that teal fish tank actually look cute on my counter for good....
This is our end of the day Christmas photo....
Today the kids are out, playing with their new loot, as I try and clean up (that will count as exercise, right??) the craziness that exploded all over the house!! Nothing but pj's and fuzzy socks for me today!!
But not for any of the reason's you might be thinking....
Not because of the stress, the shopping, the entertaining, the wrapping, the trips to store after store after store, all the money spent. The forgotten gift (especially after you thought you were done), the menu planning, the Christmas card sending.... Oh how I could go on!!! Nope, not for any of those reasons.
It's all the eating!!! I can't but help consume ALL of the wonderful baked good platters received, because, well, darn if cookies and breads aren't my down fall!! And nothing taste better with coffee in the morning then a short bread cookie (or two) or homemade pumpkin or banana bread (and darn if it doesn't taste great for lunch and snacking as well)!!!
The main problem with all the goodie consumption is.... I decided a few years back in order to not stress during the month of December, exercising only happens if I can get everything else done that needs to be done. Exercise drops wwwaaayyy down the priority list. So for the last few weeks, exercise has not happened at all. Sooooo, we know what that means don't we!! Extra calories consumed + lack of exercise = added pounds to the body!! Ugh... (I know, I know, it's completely my own fault).
So, starting tomorrow (of course, not TODAY), I will start detoxing myself from sweets. I will also exercise everyday. I will get these extra pounds off as quickly as I put them on -- or so I can only hope, because, WHY -- WHY I ASK, does it take so little time to put the weight on, and what seems forever - and so much blood, sweat and tears - to take it off!!!!!
I'm not quiet sure. I'm not eloquent, I don't have some sort of statement to make, or viewpoint to get across, I'm not trying to save the world.... I just know that I sure enjoy checking in with some of the blogs I follow, and, well, thought, why not have one of my own. So..... here it goes...
What should you expect, that I don't know either. What ever tickles my fancy, I suppose. I'm still trying to figure out how to set up my layout, so that will probably change with the wind (can you take me seriously with this background?). I have so little spare time, so when will I sit and update this, time will tell (I'll most likely stay up way too late into the night and complain about how tired I am the ENTIRE next day).....
Now here is a question I'm pondering - Is it just me, or does blogging sort of feel like a grown up "myspace" - come, be my friend, post me comments (just don't hack me and do naughty things to my photo)!!!
