We had our department Christmas party today. We love our food, so I declined to participate this year knowing the deliciously bad selection of food that would be available. While they all went to the cafeteria, I sat at my desk and had my lunch. Then, as usual, they brought all of the leftovers and laid them out on the empty desk behind me. I knew this would be a good test for me. So one of the women in my department is always trying to get me to sway from my diet. I don't take it to heart becasue I get compliments and support from her all the time. But today, was hilarious and she was lucky I was in a good mood. As they laid everything out, she asked one of my coworkers to pass her the lid to one of the containers. Now, I don't mean a small tupperware type lid. Oh no, it was one of those big foil covers that you cover catering containers with. Anyway, she stands right behind me and starts fanning all the wonderful aromas my way!!!! Some of you probably might have tackled her. I thought for a brief moment about snatching the cover from her and popping her on the head with it. But instead, I laughed and said "I will not give into your temptations evil one!" and pulled my sweater up to my nose. We could not stop laughing.

    Excellent - this time of year is so hard at work. Its not Christmas Day, its Christmas month. We've got the department party, administrator's party, agency party, two private parties, and my sister's agency party which we we always go to. I won't deprive myself but small portions and filling up on good stuff beforehand is on the "menu" for all of the parties. I usually can do ok but next week I have to start baking for Christmas, that will be a challenge. Ten gift cookie boxes with 7 different types of cookies. (which is better than two years ago, did 10 boxes with 20 different kinds of cookies, I do love to bake!).

    You handled that perfectly!! Those new sexy clothes this summer will be your reward. Or maybe your like me and can shop from your closet. I tried on some pants from my closet yesterday. Good thing, they are almost to large and they wouldn't fit when I started MFP! We are going to do this.
