Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you might need an alibi!

What a busy weekend I had, as this was our fund raising weekend for my ladies club here in my little town. If you would like to view some very pretty Christmas Trees, scroll down and you can see a little bit more about “The Festival Of Trees”.

Saturday I worked a long shift in the bitter cold and I swear I did not warm up for many hours after I got home. In fact, I called Hubby just before I left and asked him to start a fire in the hearth and he had a lovely one going when I came in.
I made us dinner, but really, I wasn’t all that hungry. I ate though, and then found a couple of dachshunds to cuddle with while we watched some of the worst TV in a while.

So far, I am really enjoying the new Weight Watchers program. I love being able to eat all the fruit and the freedom to eat some of the low in carbohydrate vegetables in any amount also really helps. I am NOT hungry, and that is a wonderful thing!
I’m also looking at food differently. I look at it and ask myself, how will this food help my body? Will it send my blood sugar sky high, or will it help to hold it steady? So far I have not had one low blood sugar attack!

I managed to get my Christmas tree standing UP in my kitchen windows. However, I ran out of energy before I got the lights on. That I will do on Monday.
I also need to spend an entire day doing nothing but HOUSEWORK! Blah! I really hate it, but I need to do it to prepare for any guests that may drop in over the holidays.
***************
The best part of the weekend for me? Probably seeing the faces of the children and the people from the Nursing Home when they came to see the Christmas Trees! That was just the best and I found, softy that I am, that I had a big lump in my throat, as I watched them!

Happy Monday Everyone!
you sound a little flat Maribeth after such an exhaustive weekend………I think you need a good rest…….x
sound like a great weekend. i really need to check in with the weight watchers program. I think because of my blood sugar I wouldn’t be able to eat all that fruit.
I’d really like a fresh tree this year…but my place is so small.
Happy Monday, we have 2 inches of snow here. So pretty! Love YOU, Mel
All in all you had a nice weekend and seeing happy faces makes also happy. We have glaze now and it’s quiet dangerous to drive ! But it will warm up a bit. I am not so keen for a white Christmas, we have to drive to Amsterdam and with 3 snowflakes the whole traffic collapses !
