we partied like it was 1999

Last night was our Sunday School Christmas party. We had it catered from Pumpernickel's. Chicken Hunter, Au Gratin Potatoes, Green Beans... Amy brought Salad, June brought Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, and Valarie, God bless that woman, brought Brownie Pie.

I was NOT on my diet last night. I planned for two weeks to be off last night just for Valarie's dessert. She baked a pan of brownies. On top of that she put a layer of chocolate frosting with nuts, on top of that banana pudding, on top of that a layer of cool whip, and on top of that sliced bananas. Never in my life have I liked anything containing banana pudding. I ate two servings of it. I would have had three- I was planning on having one last serving for breakfast today- but some gremlin ate the rest in the middle of the night. I think the gremlin's name was Dan.

So today, back on the diet. I have an appointment with Joe Cool at 2pm today for an hour session in the gym. I need to double my cardio today to work off last night, I am sure.

We should have done the gift exchange this year. For some reason we decided not to do it. We are now planning a Christmas in July party to do an exchange then. It was fun visiting with everyone last night. I got my baby fix holding Valarie and Joseph's son, Joseph Jr. - he is the most cuddly baby I have ever been around. He snuggles up against you and smiles and drools. I think he is working on a tooth. Dan held him for a very long time. He kind of looks like Dan. Joseph is going to have red hair. Makes me realize that wanting to give birth is a feeling I am never ever going to be able to shake. I love my son Tad, but still want to have a baby from infancy. Maybe one day I will be one of those moms with a 18 year old and an 8 month old. That would be so cool.

Not being able to give birth can really mess with your head.

Gotta go get dressed now and stop watching Shawshank Redemption. I have it memorized, don't know why I watch it over and over.

Later my peeps.
