Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Edge612]

Man, I know how you feel about that. Yesterday, I was a bad, a very, very, very bad boy.....I ate not one, not two, but three, Yes.....Three, colossal doughnuts from Shoppers; for breakfast..... Then last night, I had Chinese food and a vanilla ice cream cone.....But wow, what a way to go.....

Just remember you won't gain 20 lbs in a day and you won't lose 20 lbs in a day so don't worry about it.
I have this saying "eat whatever you want within reason and exercise like a maniac and you'll be good."
Of course I love exercising so it's easy for me to say but for people who don't love it I guess they have to watch a little more what they eat. But don't beat yourself up over a day of not eating healthy.

Thanks Stacey. Have fun today! How is Har doing? How are you?

P.S Sorry if this is a duplicate. MMC has been a little funny this morning. Some things post and others won't.

Thanks, Sam!
Har is doing okay, played some this morning & drank some water. Did well on her walk.
But hasn't eaten yet, and her stomach seems to be troubling her. Not sure if it's because she hasn't eaten, or she hasn't eaten because her stomach is upset. Wish she could talk!
Thanks for thinking of her~

Hope you are resting up, and enjoying a quiet day!

That's sorta my plan. I try to eat mostly healthy during the week and then treat myself on the weekends.

That's what I do, too. Another reason why weekends are so wonderful!

Good afternoon, MMC!
Hope your day is going splendidly!
Thoughts & prayers for all~

It has been a crazy couple of days ... tell you more about when I have time later this weekend. Some good crazy, some I-don't-know-yet crazy. Trying to have a relaxed evening, and looking forward to the long weekend. And wait, our anniversary is tomorrow!

We celebrate our anniversaries on the same day - wow - how merry is that - very!

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes! We don't usually make much of a fuss about anniversaries because EVERY day we're glad we got married.

Wish me some luck, please ... I have a "check engine" light and no one can look at it until next week. Caught the service dept. last night just before they closed, and they said not to worry unless it starts flashing. I'm already worrying, even though we've had false warnings before. They always tell me to make sure the gas cap is tight, so the light IS sensitive. Still ... must do a good bit of driving today.

I had that signal on my car off and on for a month and it wound up being somehow related to my car keys and not the engine at all. Once the dealer reset my keys, it never happened again.

I got Eggnog for my anniversary and a pair of Nike shoes.

Good morning, friends ~
Merry Saturday!
I love "sleeping in" and relaxing while enjoying my coffee.
We plan to head to the pumpkin patch & corn maze later today. Going to be gorgeous outside!
Hope you all have a blessed Autumn day~

Our trip to Saunders Farm, Stittsville and Ottawa fell through as my husband caught a bug and we couldn't do the drive. I was looking forward to getting through what they claim is the world's largest corn and cedar maze.
I took the car out and was hoping to grab some Fall photos, but the sky isn't blue enough for my liking so I'll try again tomorrow morning. Up at my favourite hiking spot and by the ski hill the colours look pretty glorious. I grabbed some Ontario apples and I'm a happy camper now. My husband's in bed so I'm celebrating my anniversary with O'Malley for a bit and then I'll make dinner for us tonight. We're going to visit my parents on Monday for some turkey, etc.

 

[Festive Spirit]

That's what I do, too. Another reason why weekends are so wonderful!

Oh yeah! Me too! Weekends are for treats ! I also don't feel guilty about being lazy on Saturdays because during the week I am very active.

Thanks - he said, "Wasn't I sick all those years ago too?" I nearly slugged him. Thankfully, we have a similar sense of humour. He's just not used to being sick so when it hits, he thinks he's less human. Well, we're not robots so eventually something will come along that keeps us in bed, but not much and not often.
We exchanged anniversary cards and gifts this morning over coffee. We're supposed to be ordering Chinese Food for dinner, but I guess we'll wait until he's feeling up to it.

Hey I was just wondering. I know I don't always keep up on here but have we heard from Gabulldawg and Seawaters lately? Hope all is well with them.
