The New Year week is here. Wishing you all the best.
A quick Monday morning start for the week.
As I type, I’m listening to great talent. Toe tapping at that. Love it! Thank you!
:^)
Thank you. And good morning to you and everyone.
Hope our show tonight goes as well...

I have no doubt that it will. Wish I was there.
Thank you so much, Prairie!
After Christmas
‘Twas the week after Christmas,
and all through the house
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse.
The cookies I’d nibbled,
the eggnog I’d taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber).
I’d remember the marvelous
meals I’d prepared;
The gravies and sauces
and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls,
the bread and the cheese
And the way I’d never said,
“No thank you, please.”
As I dressed myself
in my husband’s old shirt
And prepared once again
to do battle with dirt
I said to myself,
as I only can
“You can’t spend a winter
disguised as a man!”
So away with the last
of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake,
every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food
that I like must be banished
“Till all the additional
ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie
- not even a lick.
I’ll want only to chew
on a long celery stick.
I won’t have hot biscuits,
or corn bread, or pie,
I’ll munch on a carrot
and quietly cry.
I’m hungry, I’m lonesome,
and life is a bore
But isn’t that what
January is for?
Unable to giggle,
no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all
and to all a good diet!
Hope it's a great day for you !!!!
Thanks for the great start!!
I hate to waste food too. I seldom make enough to have leftovers, since I am the only one compelled to eat until they’re gone. (holidays are the exception)
Ha!
That’s cute.
I started to worry about you, but thought that maybe the long Christmas weekend kept you busy.
leave it to you! THANKS!

Ugggh, I had 16 here - from Tuesday through Saturday. I’m worn out!
I AM NOT GOING ON A DIET! DAUGHTER is putting me on one. Unfair, against my rights!!
Toby
Good morning. Where is your show?
Thank you, kassie! I’m planning on enjoying it very much. It’s really nice that I have this week off and don’t have to work on my birthday. That’s a birthday present in itself.
You are welcome, Toby!
We have a nice rooster. He's not mean at all and yet he protects the hens. He's a good boy!
You're right. Other than going to the computer store, do you have any other plans?
