So I spent new
year’s with the Hub-man. And I’m on Cloud Nine because my darling husband did
not give a care for the crowd around (which included some very close
relatives), and we danced, and we made merry, and we rang in the new year at
midnight with a beautiful New Year’s kiss…
Sigh! That’s the stuff magic is made out
of!
I’m on my weight-loss mission. Made that
much more difficult by all those delish Christmas goodies lying around my
workplace, and the huge pile of chocolates (Lindor, Mmm….) sent to me by my
sister from the United States. And these days, I can actually FEEL that fat
pile on, layer by layer, at the hips and the thighs!
BUT! I’m on a mission. I allow myself a
single chocolate a day, and no Christmas goodies! And I went shopping the last
week of last year! Got myself a nice couple bottles of salad dressings. And my
mum gifted me a vegetable cutter. She doesn’t
know it yet, but instead of those oily, heavy, spicy curries she thinks I’ll be
using it for, I’ll convert every night into Salad Nights!
Grand mixes of carrot, cauliflower and
tomato can work wonders on a burgeoning thigh!
So to get back to the hot topic of the
Hub-man, things have lightened up recently. I suppose getting a ‘No’ from me
every time he reached out may not have been as stimulating as I thought. And he
commented just last week how hectic his schedule had become recently, driving
him (and me), crazy and tired to the bones!
Besides, when feeling low, I’m not the
most exciting of companions… I don’t crack as many jokes or give as many
smart-alecky replies.
But the last year, 2013, Hats off to
you! You were splendid! You gave me dreams and a free pair of wings! I can only
hope that 2014 will carry on the wonders, and lead me to a merry dance, as
beautiful as the one the Hub-man led me on New Year’s Eve…
Happy New Year Everybody!
