Good Morning Michigan, Looks like a lot of rain coming in for the W/E . Flood Watch for us in Mid Michigan. I'm drinking my old stand by and witching the news. What's in your cup?
The Q for the day.......... Name 1 (one) thing you opened under the tree?
I have a New tool box.!!!!
Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas, it's Time to get back to work.
So what's your goals for the new year to come?
Reach my goal weight and stay happy...
HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet
table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see
carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum
balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare.. You
cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares
that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going
to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy
it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's
Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of
gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of
your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk
or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a
sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to
control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is
to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no cir****tances should you exercise between now and New
Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do.
This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the
buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of
eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like
frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position
yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before
becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of
shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them
again.
8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or
if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always
have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor
Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the
mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean,
have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the
party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-
read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a glass of red wine in
the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and
screaming, "WOO-HOO!! What a ride!"
Happy Holidays, everyone.

Morning Randy & Michigan,
Got some protien hot cocoa going this morning. Not looking forward to the rain, but it will help get rid of some of this crapin snow.
I got a beautiful tennis bracelet that has stars as links from my 5 year old. He insists on me singing twinkle twinkle everynight before he goes to sleep. He says I will think about it every time I look at it. He is right. ( I just added a pic of it to my profile)
Had a wonderful Christmas. I wasn't sick with broncitis or pneunomia the first time in 5 years. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't really thought about my goals for the new year yet.

I think we are stuck in Hillsdale for another day. It is pouring rain here (has been for the past couple hours) and EVERYTHING is coated with ICE!!!!! It just thundered a couple minutes ago!
I got a great book and big CASH! That's what we get from the in-laws every year. Hubby and I are doing lots of remodeling this spring, so that's our Christmas presents for this year.
Enjoy the day!! Tina

Well, we tried to leave for Battle Creek today and couldn't. Looks like we'll be going tomorrow after all. The roads were so bad! We drove 3 miles and saw 8 spin-outs.
The only gift I opened this year was from my mom. It was an 8x magnifying mirror. I wonder if she's trying to tell me something?
This year I just want to survive my TT. It's going to be a really difficult recovery, but I'm going to give it a try. Other than that, just working on our financial goals and keeping the kids out of trouble LOL.
Is anyone hitting the sales today? I have been hearing that today is bigger than Black Friday because everyone is returning, shopping the sales, and using their gift cards.
Be careful if you do go out!!
