Miss M on Diets

Miss M - on her own personal blog - wrote the following.

HILARIOUS!!!

"My life has been taken over.

i hate diets, not people on diets, just diets themselves.

my parents have recently gone on a low calorie diet. Because of this decision my life has taken a 180 turn...blah. our pantry used to be filled with yummy goodness :) yum.

Recently however the cookies and yummy stuff have been finished. Usually at this time my mother would buy more. But, no more have been purchased because its "temptation" to my parents. So my junk food life has been destroyed :/

Hold on...that's not the worst. the only thing that they ever talk about anymore are calories this and calories that...ha fun. If we can get through 5 minuets at the dinner table without a comment on calories we would be considered lucky :(

Its so bad that today at school i found myself clutching my friends cookie. :/

i cant help it... i have not eaten a cookie in...it pains me to say it...but its been like 4 days :(

cookies,
dont take it personally. Im not doing it to hurt you. I will digest you again soon. i promise. it might be a while, but dont worry soon you will be crunched by my jaws... soon."

It's all true.

Every word of it.

Our poor, tortured children.

Visions of Sugar Plums

Tonight we trekked out into the country 

to the Christmas tree farm 

to pick out the Christmas tree 

which we picked out a LONG time ago, 

when it was just a wee sapling.  

Bundled up in our scarves and mittens, 

we trudged through the snowy field and found it, growing in its winter wonderland.  

D wielded a trusty axe and felled our fir with a few swift chops then he & Lando hoisted it onto their brawny shoulders 

and carried it to the car.  

Afterward we sipped hot chocolate and nibbled fresh-baked cookies.

Ahhhhh... traditions to savor!

****************************

Ok.  So it wasn't QUITE like that.

We trekked 2.4 miles to Home Depot and trudged through the parking lot surrounded by chain link fencing

Miss M, Lando, Stoop (girlfriend), Deevs, Mom, Dad

and picked out a tree we spotted seconds before.  We got to call it our own for a mere $59.99.

OK.

So we weren't exactly "BUNDLED" up.

Some of us wore a jacket.

Some wore a beanie or hood.

Some wore... ahem... a tank top.  

D & Lando DID carry it to the car. 

 

Nope, no cocoa or cookies either (fresh baked or otherwise), 

but we DID go to the Club with Grampie for dinner.

Ahhhh... Memories.
