I still drink a milkshake whenever offered...
Same.... And mostly I don't even regret it. However, I have a gallstone that is bothered by refined sugar that has considerably improved my will power.2 -

Eugenia, this is not judgment, but it is a warning: please please please listen to your doctor. Insulin may make you feel okay today, but my dad is in a long term care facility because of diabetic neuropathy, among other health problems. He sometimes cannot stand up on his own and he can no longer drive because he can't tell which pedal his foot is on.3 -

And my grandma had both legs removed below the knee for the same reasons! Take care of yourself, @eugeniaramage!5 -
I HATE going to the gym. or Exercise in general. I always accumulate new injuries and they become costly to take care of.4

Yay for first Christmas with grandbaby, Mo!! That's exciting. I agree with Mel that he'll just play with the boxes (and wrapping paper). And I don't think you're selfish for thinking a December birthday sucks. I was sad to find out baby P was due in December for the same reason. I didn't want him growing up hating his December birthday.
Also- boo to Chandler marking in the house!

Still debating on going to my CG workout this evening. We do it outside and the temps are going to be low 40s to the upper 30s. I am thinking I would much rather stay home and warm. At least there is no rain.3

I don't know, Quik. There was that guy at my gym who cracked his sternum doing bench press. I am pretty sure he regretted that workout... Or at least his decision to bench without a spotter.4 -

@eugeniaramage Diabetes is nothing to play around with. I really hope you listen to your doctor and not your logic and reasoning. My Dad had to have all his teeth removed because diabetes rotted them all. He now has to wear dentures.2 -

I am going to see my dad this evening, then going to do some Christmas shopping tomorrow after yoga and visiting a local brewery for their food truck round up. I'm the designated driver, but my favorite truck makes a killer Cuban that I always eat without bread. And she always serves me first so there hasn't been any bread on her grill.
gotta love a business like that.
Christmas shopping
I dont wanna think about Christmas yet!
I'm not ready for Christmas! I still can't believe Dark Thursday/Black Friday is next week already. Where has this year gone? This year we have to work 3 PM to midnight.
Boo!!! Dark Thursday stinks!!!
I will forever boycott Dark Thursday. Freaking ridiculous.

I boycott Dark Thursday and Black Friday.
I refuse to take part in that madness!!!1 -

My only mall Black Friday purchase will be a latte at my friends' Carl and Susie's coffee shop. My daughter will be manning the cash register so they can concentrate on food and drink. I intend to pay in loose change so they have it for the long weekend. I will do some shopping at locally owned places downtown.1 -

I am ok with this -- Local retailors need the revenue, but I refuse to be in the heard that hits Walmart at 1 AM. That is INSANE! Also, I feel like folks need to be with their family on Thanksgiving, so I will not shop that day.1 -

Sales that start on Thanksgiving night. People leave their family/friends/holiday to go shopping, which makes the store clerks also leave their family/friends/holiday. :explode:2 -
I wanted to call into work sick so badly this morning. I'm exhausted and stuffed up. I didn't call in because I want to use all my accumulated comp-time to take Black Friday and Christmas Eve off.
I hope I'm not getting sick again! Zinc for me.3 -

I hate that it has travelled to England. We were perfectly happy with our Christmas Sale madness and now this as well. The worst part is that we have gone over the top about it. I just heard an advert on the radio say 'Black November' so now its the whole friggin MONTH?! WTF.2 -
