She LIVES!!!!!!

Sorry no post yesterday - I needed a break from the computer.

Here are my eats for the past little while ...

Thursday evening I was STARVING so I had a smoothie and another slice of pepperoni pizza.





For breakfast yesterday I had a green monster:



And an unpictured glo-bar.

Lunch was this:



And since we STILL haven't gotten groceries ... dinner was an egg and cheese bagel sandwich with hot sauce. LOL. Seriously we have no food in the house!



Last night I went to a friends 30th B-day party! I forgot my camera :-( But I drank red wine and munched on about 10 chips with dip, about 10 little shrimp and 2 crackers with meat and cheese on them. I had a lot of fun meeting new people and visiting with old friends.

Breakfast today was another GM:



Today the hubby and I are FINALLY going grocery shopping!! I am also going for a 90 minute massage, and then we are going to have what we call our "Christmas Day" where we watch Christmas movies, and eat junk.

We have a Christmas party to go to tonight at our friends parent's house. It is an ugly sweater party ... but we can't find any ugly sweaters :-( We have checked the used shops/ thrift shops etc. and they are cleaned right out of ugly sweaters.

I will be back later with a recap from today ... but I would like to leave you with a survey for 2009. The hubby and I and 10 of our friends will be in the Dominican Republic over New Years, so I will do this now instead!

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

You could pull me through.
You could always pull me through.
Even when I’m lying here,
drowning in my blues.
You take the sting out of the rain,
and bring the sun back up again,
and you could always pull me through.

(For Chris).
