Happy New Year to all you wonderful people out there! Even tho I will be at work tomorrow, January 1st, I wanted to get this out a little early as we are pretty busy the rest of the day today; gotta take down the Tree.
So here is a glimpse of my New Years Resolution for 2009!

I have a problem. I cant stop eating ! They keep bringing foods to work, and I keep shoving it in my mouth. Cheese, crackers, Cheese Cakes, homemade breads, dips, you name it, we got it. Oh, no veggies tho, we have everything but veggies!
We are skipping our weekly weigh-in for Taking It Off Together Tuesdays and starting fresh next week, which is good – cuz I gained a fetchin’ pound!
I need an brain overhall, I need a new way to think about the same old food-things, I need a new memory card for my brain (now wouldn’t that be nice!) so that I can store healthy thoughts in this head of mine and stop eating ! Ya know, the funny thing is that I am not even hungry. I could chalk it up to holiday stress, year end reports and plain out boredom, but I hate excuses and I know I just have to eat less.
Ugh. Easier said than done. *sigh*

eGads, this week is going to be a killer. I get no time off as I am choosing to work New Years Day and take another day off later in the year-when its like warmer!
Plus, it is the End of Year reporting and of course, they are all due pretty dang quick, Plus . . . we have to do our Yearly Review as well ! Not fun lemme tell ya. So even tho I have to work all week, I am going to be busy, so, I hope the time goes by fast. This inbetween week from the old year to the new year always is a terrible week. I want it over and done with so that I can start the New Year.

This is our house, aint it just cozy….!? heeheehee. It is very small, but we like it. My son tho, tends to hog the laptop whilst sitting in his recliner, but thats okay. We are very happy and very lucky to be together. May you all be warm, healthy and happy too. XO

In a way, I am glad that Christmas is pretty much over. Monday I start back to work and dont plan on taking any time off till at least March or April (if I can last that long!).
We were so tired today that both the kiddo and slept till 9am this morning. For us, this is very late, as we normally get up at 5:15am for work and school. ugh. But still, it will be nice to get back on track come this Monday.
Mostly tho, I need to loose some of these pounds that I can feel around my belly. I might even have to get some new term life insurance quotes as I am not the same person I was two weeks ago; my pants are so dang tight!
Ah well, all in all it was a great Christmas this year and we are very lucky and happy. XO

Merry Christmas to you. May all your wishes, hopes and dreams come true this Holiday Season. XO

0031I bet ya didn’t know we live out here in the Arctic Circle, and we even have burgers out here too! It has been snowing and snowing, and the weather man is saying more snow every day for the next five days, wee hee ! However, sometimes I forget just how old I am. Yesterday I shoveled our driveway; pushed that snow and scraped that ice off the payment. I really put all I had into it cuz I love to shovel. Really, I do! I spent two winters shoveling snow when I was a Ski Bum. However, today I woke up and could barely move my right arm. My shoulder was so stiff it hurt to even move an inch! I guess I am a little out of shape. I am lucky to be healthy and not have any disabilities like cerebral palsy, but I guess I really need to get in better shape. ugh.

A little story I stole from Tammy, it is So funny ! ! Thanks, Tammy, you made my day and made me smile, thanks for being such a great blogger friend. XO

When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and when a very irritated Santa marched to the door and yanked it open, there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, “Merry Christmas, Santa! Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
