My driver’s license, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, Christmas, Insurance, and Car Tags – seems like December is the month that everything in my life is due and needs money. So for the next few weeks, we will be eating leftovers from the freezer and making meals out of the stores in the cupboards instead of planning new meals. Fortunately, I have just about all my shopping done that I can think of I just have to get one son home from college yet – he’s just as broke as I am! But come next weekend, I’ll have all my boys home again until Tom goes back on the 1st.
The Yule parties this past weekend were very nice and of course I ate more than I should have. There was cake – need I say more? Everything was quite tasty and I did eat my cake slowly and savored every bite! Now, to try to eat better this week in anticipation of the turkey on Christmas!
I don’t think I’m going to make it up to my sister’s house this year – just don’t have the funds but Tom is going so I’ll send presents up with him. I need to get into the homemade gifts for next year definitely. Giving everyone outside the family homemade goodies – I’m just not making the sweets like I usually do – keeping temptation away.
I got quite the boost to my ego this weekend – several folks had not seen me in several months and commented that some didn’t recognize me since I have lost weight – love that! I still have a lot to go but it does help with the motivation hearing that. I even had a few that HAVE seen me recently just didn’t realize until they say me in clothes that fit – how much weight I had lost.
Well, time to get started with my day – working from home today so I get to cook my own lunch and eat in front of my TV! Mondays are always great now!
You look great! But somebody else is missing a kilt. ;O)
ReplyDeleteI know right! He forgot to bring his kilt with him and I gave him an appropriate amount of grief about that too as did several other folks. :)
