I'm giving myself a break. I went over my calories today because I baked cookies and ate some. I only make cookies during holiday season, so I am giving myself a break. I still lost a pound (today is my new weigh-in day) and I expect I will lose another next week. Just because I ate cookies today does not mean I will eat cookies tomorrow. I have to allow myself to slip up once in a while.....just not too often. I am famous for my cookies, so I feel I owe it to my Peeps to deliver what is expected. Ok, I love cookies. Heck, I think it was my first word. I am done making cookies for this holiday season. There are no more ingredients in the house and it is going to stay that way! Cookies will still exhist next year!! They are not going out of style.

I am very sleepy right now, as it is past my bedtime. I am waiting for Bear (14yrs old) to get home from a holiday party. Another mom is driving him home. The party ends at 11 and they are about 30 minutes away. It's 10:45 now......I think I will just enjoy the silence of the house and watch the christmas lights blink.
