Lazy Bones

Blame it on the triptophan (is that how you spell the chemical in turkey that makes you sleep??)-- I didn't get around to anything, much less writing on this blog over the long holiday weekend.  But I think that's what Thanksgiving is all about- aside from giving thanks ;)

I had big plans to take pix of Niall holding a giant turkey leg and put it up as my "Happy Thanksgiving" post... didn't happen.  Then, I was going to write additional posts about grandparents, aunts and uncles and everything we were doing over the weekend... didn't happen.

We didn't even make it to the much anticipated Christmas tree lighting and Santa photo opp on Friday.  And to top it all off, I only took 1 pic from the entire holiday.  I just ate, drank and laid around.  And I loved every minute of it.

All I could think about was how I couldn't remember anything from Thanksgiving last year (Niall was only 4 days old), and how I really needed to soak it all in and make up for lost time this year.  So naturally, I also decided to allow myself to indulge in 3 pieces of pumpkin cheesecake.  I deserve it!!  (is what I kept telling myself)

The story ends with my "life changing" healthy lifestyle diet that starts today.  Wish me luck (it's not that hard- all of the food is really good, so I have no excuse if I fail)...

This should last until about a week before Christmas, when I will binge again until the new year.  Tis the season :)
