Eat, Drink, & Be Merry

...for tomorrow we diet.

The Nutrisystem order came late this afternoon, so tomorrow I'm giving it a one-day whirl before Thanksgiving. I'm not even going to mess with it Thursday or Friday while we're in Fairview. Saturday will start again.

I started the cranberries brewing for cranberry salad. One pound of cranberries in 2 cups sugar. Blech! Tomorrow it gets mixed with crushed pineapple, walnuts, whipped cream (real stuff) and some other disgustingly sweet things. Hubby likes this stuff. Good. I don't eat it.

I'm also making banana nut bread and taking chips & dip. I feel sick already.

Remember when I took my car in to have the brakes reworked? I finally got it back today, and it's still not completely fixed. Since I ran out of money, I had to call a halt to the massive brake overhaul. Apparently the antilock brake unit has gone bad, too. Now I'm driving around with the brake light on. The mechanic swears the car is safe, just don't get into any skidding stops.

Follow-up appointments for my back and Ala's shins are tomorrow. We're hoping she's released to return to dance, although she says she won't start back until December, regardless. She also has a dance workshop in OKC Sunday afternoon. Don't know yet if we're going.

That's about all the exciting news from my corner of the world.

Good luck with the Nutrisystem.

Holidays are such a bad time to try and lose any kind of weight for me. I like to eat too much.

I hope you and yours have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Thank you! We had a very nice holiday.

I ate way, way too much. I enjoyed every single bite. Now it's time to pay for it. 8^0

Hope your Thanksgiving was great. I see I have some catching up to do at your place.
