Winter Warmth!!
So I know alot of you out there are having the same battle with yourself that you have had for year after year now-
How to Keep Off the Holiday Pounds!
This task is never easy, but i for one have become an expert on it! And as my Christmas gift to you this year i would like to give you some advice on how i keep my girlish figure no matter how many cubes of butter have been added to the mashed potatoes!
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can..and quickly. It's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-oholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple, pumpkin, mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruit cake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

PC?
Now i consider myself to be a pretty tolerant person of other peoples choices, especially when it comes to religion and sexuality. I believe that both are very personal and individual choices. I will respect and tolerate your choice if you will please have the same respect and tolerance for mine. In my opinion this is ESPECIALLY true when in the work place. PLEASE Don't try to preach religion, or openly criticize my presidential candidate-because she is a "crazy democratic female". I don't care if you are the Boss i don't want to hear your opinion on how "Gay relationships are wrong and disgusting. And one day those people will have to answer for that..." It is so frustrating because i have to sit back and just listen because if i were to voice my opinion about how offended those discussions made me not only would i be looked at like the democratic-devil-receptionost, i am sure there would be some sort of retaliation and i would probably be looking for a new job. the concept is simple keep your political and religious opinions out of the work place.Period.The End.
okay...deep breath erin.....:)
