Hello, Monday My Old Friend

I've said before, Mondays are a totally different animal when you are retired.  Today's Monday is a good Monday -- totally clear calendar.  Homebody today and I'm here for it.

What's on the agenda?  Finish most of the cookie baking (at least 2 of the 3).  This does NOT mean eat all the cookie dough.  In fact, it means eat NONE of the cookie dough (because that's a slippery slope).  Can it be done?  Can it be done while I'm in full PMS?  Stay tuned.  Oh, and no cookies either.  Danger zone because the cookies are GF.

Kids came over for the Steelers game and brought cookies.  Gluten cookies and they said "try just one."  Dang.  I did and one became 5 (big cookies).  Not good -- especially with this fever blister.

I need to reign in the sweets again.  How did I get off track?  Probably PMS cravings.  They are tough and this has been a long stretch of craving sweets.  No excuse.  It's not like someone is shoving it down my throat.  And still quite a bit of that other stress still lingering.  Also, no excuse.  {*deep sigh*}

This makes me wonder ... should I make these cookies GF?  Do I need to eat cookies over Christmas?  I'd like to have some, but in control.  Hmmmmm.  Need to think on this a bit.  But I am planning to send a box to my son's girlfriend who is GF.  I need to ask Santa for some control.

The Christmas concert on Saturday was well performed, but it was religious music, not Christmas carols.  That was disappointing -- only one song I recognized.  But it was fun to see my aunt and be there to support her.  She gave me a few goodies including some depression glasses.

Hard to see that the glass is pink.

Getting ready before the game.

During the game.

Cuddle brothers.

Have a good start to the week.  We are STILL in a gloomy rain and fog pattern for the week.  Maybe this means nice weather for Christmas.  Stay well.  Later gators.
