Oh woe is me I seem to have lost my Guest Book which had been signed 94 times the last
time I can remember checking... I was looking forward to the number reaching 100....
The code is still on my template so who knows, one day it might come back??
Yah, its back and it now has 101 signatures Thank you 101 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you see isn't always what you get.
While this was
obviously written
by/for a woman the
concept fits a man
just as well, so whether
you are male or female if you are one of the many who overate this festive season...
here's your poem!!
‘Twas the week after Christmas.
‘Twas the week after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I’d nibble, the eggnog I’d taste
All 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 more 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 that I’d never said, “No, thank you, please.”
As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt
And prepared once again to battle the dirt…
I said to myself, as only I can,
“You can’t spend the winter dressed like a man!”
So away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
‘Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie, not even a lick,
I’ll want only to chew on a long 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?
No longer a riot
Happy new years to all
And to all a good diet.
New Years Day Reflections.
Hey could there be some truth in the rumor that I’m gettin’ old?
Well I did have two Grand-daughters get married this year.
the two Weddings, which were only a week apart and only one
state apart (Two VERY big States though).
same time, the last time that happened was when Marcus and Carolyn were married.
there (Zac is 20 now).
my 2nd EX, and my Sister.
been easy, if it were not for the many fine Bakeries spread through the land I may have failed
at this.
territory, currently $1.30 per liter on average in
the retirement of the
history, neither of these changes have been in force for long so there is very little apparent
change noticeable yet.
is still gripped by drought and indeed the water storage Dams are still at all time lows.
of hot and humid like normal, the seasons are changing with the earths warming and severe
weather changes are becoming more the norm.

Happy New Year! Hope you find your guest book.
Hi Peter ~~ Enjoyed the Poem ~ 'Twas
the Week after Christmas ~~ too true.
Also enjoyed your reflections of 2007 - you sure did some travelling. I hope you get your Guest map back as it was good and I thought it had 96 the other day. Are you
fixing my header? ~ ~ it looks nice at the moment, but one day there was only about an inch of the bottom of photo, another day about 1" of the top. Or is it just happening? I am still catching up with everyone. Take care, stay well Love, Merle.
Yay its back!!!! the guest book that is now only need three more to get the 100.
I think I've already signed up so can't help your there.
Love your New Year stat report. Will be fun to read back over for you in a few years.
Yep, that poem not only hits home, but my thighs, tummy, hips....
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Peter!! May you and your family have a wonderful '08!!
Happy New Year Peter.
I'm just checking to see if there was any word that you posted on who is hosting the next week's Fun Monday....while I was here, I read that you had one volunteer [lurchers?] in your comments...
I'll come back for an update later in the week.
Peter, the guest book is there now.
Happy New Year!
Love that first poem and the cartoons! Happy new year! I can still see your guest book. I may even sign it. Last time I tried to sign one of those my picture did not work and I have not signed one since.
Well, I signed the book and my picture did not work again.
I have no idea where this five new pounds came from.
Must have been a gift from someone.
Happy New Year
Peter,
Seeing as you had a head start over us in the U.S. to ring in the New Year, it'll be the 2nd when you read this comment.
You had quite a year in '07. I wish you more of the same in '08 - but don't stop there.
Boy, I feel like that Poem today after my New Years Eve! *LOL*
I'm glad things went well for you in 2007 Peter, and I hope 2008 is even better!
Yes, 2007 was good for you and that pleases me. It was for me, too and now I am looking forward to all your 2008 blogs.
The poem is an absolute delight and oh so true of this household. We took time to put some of the candies in small refrigerator bags and hide them in the freeer with the promise to each other that we will only take one bag out each month. Right! I wonder which of us will break that promise first. LOL
A very happy new year to you Peter! May it be a wonderful time of your life.
Peter ~ One of these years I am going to make it through a Holiday season and NOT gain 10 pounds... yeah SOMEDAY! Have a GREAT 2008 Peter! ~ jb///
