The things you teach your kids.

Is it bad that just yesterday I realized that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK?!?!? NEXT WEEK!!!! How did that happen. It was just Halloween. I will not tell you that my Halloween decorations are still up. (I was sick, okay. That's my story and I am sticking to it) I said to my 17 year old son last night, "so you think I should just leave the Halloween decorations up straight through Thanksgiving and then take them down and go straight to Christmas ones?" He says, (straight faced), "Yes and then when you take the Christmas ones down you can put those back up." Nice. This is what I have taught my kids. Sarcasm and quick wit (HA HA).

I have to go on a diet when the holidays are over (hey , one is next week, ya know). I have my 20 year class reunion this next summer. I need to lose about 100 lbs in about 5 or 6 months. Do you think that is possible? Try to let me down easy, okay.

One big problem with losing weight is I LURRRRVE food. I love all types, styles, whatever, I pretty much love it all. Oh and also, my best friend from high school is the EXACT SAME SIZE that she was in high school (skinny, very skinny). Yes, I still love hate her and yes since she is my best friend I have to sit next to her skinny a**. Seriously, I am the fat friend now (I'm Monica and she's Rachel). You think that would be incentive enough to prevent me from shoving a cookie in my mouth. Not so far.

Well, I am off to bed to dream about pecan dessert bars that we had at work today (think pecan pie but to GO...genius) and ways I can continue training my kids.
