I was thinking of sitting this one out as my weight is stalled and I'm not happy, but you got me with the red. Coral is my favorite color, but I like reds and pinks a lot and I have enough weight to lose that I could win.

I've had a tiring weekend. Thursday night was an away game for my GS. Friday I went to pick my friend up from dialysis and she couldn't leave because she was bleeding. Our local hospital shipped her to Traverse City for surgery. I went with her both places as no one should come out of surgery alone. I couldn't drive her - nor would I want to, but it another 100 miles on my old body. That put me making potato salad for the funeral in the wee hours of the morning. Saturday I worked the luncheon so I was up by 7:30. I had told the organizer I could only do 2 hours on concrete floors, but the person in charge wasn't up to serving 224 people, so I had to stay through the serving. I hate taking over but it needed to be done, so whatever. It went well and that's what's important. I did apologize to her and it was accepted as she's a very nice person. Then I goofed. After I laid down a bit, I went Christmas shopping. I came home with nothing except a stiff body. Okay, enough whining.

It's dreary outside - all our snow is being washed away but Lily and Moira don't care so we're out of here soon. I will remember to do interval walking and speed up periodically. If I'm going to win, I need to raise my metabolism, lol.

I'm going to clean the living room so I can decorate. I taught my multiple children that Santa doesn't come to a dirty house - we even washed windows and such because my house was so clean their wasn't anything else to do. My youngest daughter is cleaning house now because she can't decorate without doing so. Ah, well. I could have done more damage than that.

I wish us all luck this holiday season - take a little of whatever high calorie yummy that calls your name with the emphasis on little. If you deprive yourself, you'll just overeat when you do start. Have three small bites, savoring each one, then wait a few minutes before you finish it. You may be able to not finish it.

Have a good evening, y'all.
