This Is Getting To Be a Habit...

Well, I guess this is good...I am writing for the fourth time.  I have met my minimum weekly standard. I am going to leave the Blog name alone today, as I am pressed for time.  I have to leave to do some volunteer ESL Tutoring in about 20 minutes. I still need to pick up ingredients for the new recipe I am making...we'll see if I have time today. I am already getting bored with talking about my Resolutions as I assume most people are (since they don't want you to start pointing out that they aren't following theirs)...so I need to branch out a bit on my topics.  The Real/Ideal Selves will always be looking over my shoulder, so there is no ignoring them...Well, how about The Holidays...???  They are over, but evidence of them still lingers in my house...a tree still standing (yes, a real one!), presents yet to be put away, decorations to be taken down etc.  HOWEVER, we have done very well eating up the leftovers....my "don't waste food" mantra had to fight with my "don't gain weight" mantra, and you can see who won.  There is still some chocolate in the house, but I give it to my husband to hide so my Real Self can't get ahold of it and scarf it down. My ideal self hates that I have to do this, but it's the only thing that works with chocolate and potato chips. Question of the day:  Why don't we ever have to hide broccoli and celery from ourselves.  I actually like both of them, but never overindulge in them---unless of course there is some rich dip to stick them into.  Gotta go.
