Fighting the bug...

Here are my Christmas girls! I love their smiles!

Everyone in my neighborhood is sick. My daughter was sick Mon-Tues and now I am feeling that feeling -eyes kind of glassy, head just not right. It is 3 days til Christmas and I can NOT get sick. Plus, I AM RUNNING 7 miles on Saturday whether I am sick or not. I vowed that nothing short of amputation would keep me from my LSDs...

On another note a not so close friend who received a TNT letter just sent me $250 for my race. SHOCKED! and happy. I have until January 23 to raise my money and I am nearly 75% complete. If only my father and his greedy side of the family would cough up the rest... My cousin died of leukemia in September at 22. He had been sick since he was a kid (9 I think). Only my aunt Connie (Tim's grandmother) has even mentioned sending something. It's all just a little odd. The reasons why I 've never really warmed up to THAT SIDE just keep growing...

So - Christmas - yeah. I am DONE shopping. I have finished prepping for my part of Christmas eve - salad, and Christmas morning bagels. If you have never had NY Bagel Co. bagels, let this be a plug. SO good - pop them in the oven for 5 minutes and they are just (well, almost) like the real deal. Lox, fresh dill, capers, YUM. Plus, my weirdo kids LOVE it all so I don't have to prep any "kid fare" like munchkins that I might be tempted to pop in my mouth. I missed Weight Watchers this week. I KNOW I've not been good. I KNOW the scale would tell me so, and I figured a haircut would make me feel better. I am going next week. My holiday de-tox starts Monday!!
