Either I’m dreaming or crusty sleep is blurring my vision. It must be one of those because this scale couldn’t possibly be reading a 3 lb decrease from last week.

Don’t get me wrong…I’ll take it like a passing a test that you didn’t study for.

Besides  one or two times hula hooping at work and walking down a flight of stairs or two, I didn’t spend any significant time exercising. To my credit, I didn’t have any delectable deserts in my kitchen either.  That was probably my biggest advantage. Thank God, Christmas is about giving and not eating.

Speaking of Christmas…OMG! Two days away! I can’t believe it. Seems like it was just a week ago that I was talking about the weight I’d gained from Thanksgiving. And now I’ve got less than 24 hours to get the rest of my Christmas stuff, including dinner items.

Stressed? Not at all. My son couldn’t have made this Christmas easier for me. Twelve years old, he didn’t want much that wasn’t related to his video game or cell phone. One stop at Game Stop and any place that sells iTunes gift cards and I’ll be finished with him and my four nephews.

That’ll be easy enough.

I hope your last 30 or so hours before Christmas are easy too. Stress isn’t good for anybody.

Happy Shopping!
