holiday chubbage


Got on the scale at a neighbor's Christmas party last night. 138.6.

One hundred and thirty-eight point six.

Pounds.

Granted my clothes were on, and shoes, and I'd already eaten something with Velveeta in it. But still. No bueno. :(

Sad face on.

I know there are more important things to worry about in life.

But the holidays. So chubbage-inducing!

Please pass the spinach and artichoke dip.

No, not that one.

The one with the water chestnuts in it.

Oh and some of that, whatever it is, cheese pizza sauce and cracker thingys.

Yeah, those.

Thanks.

Sure, why not, another glass of Montoya red wine something or other.

Sure.

Oh, and some of those mere-nothing, wafer-thin cupcake things.

The ones with the happy little sprinkles, like colorful icicles in white frosting.

A veritable snowstorm of calories in my mouth.

Mmm....mmm....good.

Ah, holidays.

So tasty.

So fun!

So chubbage-inducing!!!

what i'm thinking

My photo
writing is like putting puzzles together. except i hate puzzles. they remind me of rainy days in the poconos, locked indoors with relatives for some kind of annual family reunion. but words, strung together, placed just so, can be just like music. i love words, their meaning, their rhythm, their ability to persuade, move, thrill---and when strategically placed together, they're just like pieces of a puzzle. Because when the piece is complete, it just is. There's nothing left to do except go outside and feel the rain come down.
