That's cute!  Well I did have a celery stick, but it had sour cream and onion 
dip on it, so I guess my cheating has not stopped yet.  Got to work on that 
diet some more.  (SMILE)  Happy new year!!

  Hello and happy New Year to everyone. 
  Lynne and I wish all of you the best that the new year can bring.
  And here is a little something to start your year off with a chuckle. 

  TWAS THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS

   

   T'was the month 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!

   

   

   'Real tears are not those that fall from your eyes and cover your face,

   but that fall from your heart and cover your soul.'



  Much love to you all, 

  Lynne and Maria
