Wishing You All A Prosperous 2010....

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL AND I HOPE THIS YEAR BRINGS YOU HEALTH,WELATH AND HAPPINESS

for all those like me who's regular new years resolution is to lose weight i have found a funny little poem that i may print out and stick on the cupboard and fridge doors


Twas the day 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 had 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 only I 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, each cracker and chip!

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished

'Til all the additional ounces have vanished.



I won't have a cookie - not even a lick!

I'll want only to chew on a celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits or cornbread 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!
