last night i talked about dieting and new year’s resolutions and i said that always, on monday morning, i’m all NO MORE FOOD, but then it all goes to hell by about 4:30 on monday afternoon.
and sure enough, this morning, after spending the past day…week…month…fall season…eating lots and lots of food, culminating in a neverending smorgasbord of delicious xmas cookies that i thought i was going to make FOR OTHER PEOPLE but then ate too many myself…i decided NO MORE FOOD.
but it’s not even noon, and i’ve only had a cup of tea and now i’m very very hungry. i’m not going to have ANY COOKIES, though. probably also not a slice of the delicious french bread with blue cheese and green olives that i made and is sitting in my refrigerator right now, calling out to me, “grace, grace, don’t you want a slice?”
food talking to me, not good.
mom and dad went to their friends the risemans’ house last night, because they do that every single new year’s eve, taking turns going to each other’s houses. but i think the risemans got gypped last night because of my show; they had to host the party two years in a row because of me. but i did make them two loaves of french bread so at least that’s a small consolation.
mom said that at midnight, wanda brought out two bottles of champagne, and they put together plastic champagne glasses to drink a toast – but the champagne was a little old, not to mention being served in the plastic glasses. wanda thought this was funny, and told mom to mention it to me, pointing out the elegant and ultra-fancy champagne we had at the wedding. kevin bought two beautiful waterford champagne glasses for the occasion, plus one of those ridiculously expensive bottles of champagne, maybe it was dom perignon? hmm, i’m sure that bottle is around here someplace.
sometime this year, when we’ve managed to dig through the piles of stuff lying all around the house, i’m sure we’ll find it.
i was reading the ads in the paper this morning and was amused to see that most of them had exercise gear for sale, except one store also had exercise bars and stuff, and there was this big ad that said “fuel for your workouts” and one of the on-sale items was OREOS.
yep, oreos, the perfect dieting, training food.
let the new year begin.
ok then,
grace.
