The scale is thankfully moving down a bit. Other than a few small sweets here and there (thanks to the darn holiday cookies and chocolates everwhere!) I have really been on track with eating. I'm back down to 163.5 and have gotten rid of some of the fat right under my boobs. I attribute this to completely cutting out alcohol. Now, to convince myself to go to the gym. First, I have GOT to shave my legs!

Christmas is right around the corner. Rob is responsible for gifts for his family this year. I took care of it long enough. Of course, we ordered my parents gift and later received a card saying that it was out of stock and better luck next time. GRRRR! The cookies have all been sent. Hannah's gift is ordered. Noah is all set. I just need to get one more fun thing for Ethan...

Unfortunately, we will be spending the 28th through the 1st in NY. Not that I don't want to see my in-laws....but I kinda don't... We have a wedding to go to and I know Rob is really looking forward to spending some time with his brother. If Rob is happy, I am happy (at least I pretend to be in these situations). I have totally set myself for a hell of a time next Christmas. I promised Rob we would spend and entire WEEK with his parents. Lord help me to keep my sanity and stay out of jail! That's ok though. With that in mind, I will better appreciate THIS Christmas. We are spending Christmas Eve with my girlfriend Debbie and her fiance and Christmas is at my Aunt Bev's house for the first time in over a decade. I'll be able to see my cousin and her little boy as well. I haven't spent a Christmas with my cousin in so many years - this will be a wonderful treat! See - positive thoughts!
