Holiday Greetings

Well, it’s that time of year, when we all send out self-gloating letters, sprinkled with Christmas glitter, passing them off as Holiday greetings. So, in my attempt to be up with the trends, I too will be pulling out my bag of self-boasting. Let’s hope that my arsenal proves to be HoHoHo worthy.

First, I would like to start by telling you all about my achievements. This year, so far, I have switched from full-fat in my morning espresso to 2% and, not to toot my own horn too loudly, but I am currently thinking about taking my greatness a step further and switching my now 2% latte for an Americano. Which, if you don’t know, is espresso with water instead of milk, of any fat percentage. Because studies have shown that water is less fattening and lower in calories than milk. 

This leads me to another accomplishment I am especially proud of, the art of mental list-making. That’s right; I have successfully made several mental lists this year. In fact, I have made more than I can even count, and I do intend to keep up the habit as the year goes on. I have heard that people who make mental lists tend to think more than people who don’t. So there you have it.

Last, but certainly not less than, I've managed to keep my sanity while driving to and from town, all the while seeing the same signs for the last two weeks claiming that there is road construction and to use caution, even though as far as I can see there is no road construction and therefore, no need for the twelve caution signs warning me about loose gravel, delays and bumps.

I have also managed to take my kids to school, get up just about every morning, and eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've even done laundry when the hamper is overflowing and filled the dishwasher when the sink is too full to safely balance another dish atop the mountain. My floors are relatively clean, considering God made the world out of dirt and my dog only slightly smells of skunk. 

Merry Christmas!!! Happy Holidays!!!
