January 2nd and I'm back at work. It was nice having yesterday off - New Years Day - cause there were some people that did NOT have the day off. It was an interesting day. We didn't get invited anywhere, and since no one had contacted me about plans, I didn't make any. I did, however, cooked up a couple packages of ribs - there were a lot more in the packages than I thought there was! Gave some to our neighbor who had actually asked for some!
It was pretty quiet around our place New Years Eve and New Years Day. We didn't go anywhere and didn't do anything special. I actually got some sewing done on a wall hanging. It was going to be given to someone this Christmas, but I didn't get it done. Figured I may as well keep working on it and finish it - and then pack it away for a gift next year. Don't know who would want a wall-hanging of Santa Claus, though.
We did get our Christmas tree taken down and the decorations put away. Of course we didn't have that much out this year. While sitting on the sofa last night, I did see a Santa picture I hadn't taken off the wall yet. I will do that soon. It was just an odd holiday this year in some respects. I didn't bake as much - and it really didn't matter. I still have bread in the freezer, which I have usually given all away. I don't think I even made cookies on my own this year - although I did get to have 4 groups of the grandchildren over to bake their cookies and make Christmas mice. Oh well, I don't need the cookies anyway!
Still working on my weight loss journey and am down about 12 pounds now. I think I've gained a pound or two this past week, but overall, getting back on track will help it to continue to drop. Giving up my breads, crackers (carbs mainly) as much as I can - although I did make potato soup this weekend, and split pea soup - and then it dawned on me about the carbs. We did make a meal of both but then I gave away to neighbor. Good thing they like my cooking. We even have a waiter at Fast Eddies who likes my cooking. LOL He wanted some ham and garbage (from Christmas) so we took him a little - he's single, an older man who doesn't cook. He has gone on and on about the food - cracked me up. I think hubby was going to take him some ribs today.
And I need to get back to work. It's really a quiet and slow day. Again. But I'm not complaining! I like these slow and quiet days! Hoping your new year is a blessing.
Blessings!
