First, it was only a three day work week. I took Monday and Friday off. Instead of taking a large chunk of time off at the end of December I opted to spread out my vacation days taking long weekends every week.
Second, I received a humongous, outrageous, ginormous, astronomical bonus at work on Thursday. Ok, I exaggerated, it wasn't that large. But it was a big holiday bonus that I was very happy with.
Third, when I stepped onto the scale Thursday morning I weighed one hundred and twenty six pounds. That is a total of 15 (FIFTEEN!) pounds lost since the end of October. Only 6 more pounds to go.
Fourth, almost all of my Christmas shopping was completed so I can stop stressing so much. A few of the gifts have even been wrapped. Only one more gift left to get. A little something for my boyfriend's parents. What do you get for the parents of your significant other anyway? Last year I got them a really pretty vase that my boyfriend says his mom uses regularly, but I haven't come up with any great ideas for this year yet.
Fifth, christmas cookies! Between today and tomorrrow I plan to make three different kinds of tasty Christmas treats -- Buckeyes, Church Windows, and traditional Sugar Cookies. Some of them will be eaten by me (I have to taste test them before I can let anyone else eat them, right?), but most will be enjoyed by others. At least I hope they come out well enough to be enjoyed.
