As you look around after Christmas with your morning cuppa to reflect on what just happened, we hope you experienced a ‘wagnificent howliday.’ Between all your family get-togethers, football, basketball and the never-ending bowl games beginning soon, are you starting to look forward now to thoughts on the New Year celebration? I’m still in a food coma status and think the cleanse will begin sooner rather than later. Gah…from where DID all these sweet treats come?! Any one need some fudge?
Well, Ma’s arse is gettin’ to be as big as the state of Alaska, so I thinks there is a weaning off the sugar for her! (note to self…..grouchy Ma in the coming weeks…sigh.)
Is it bad that she is thinkin’ abouts binging on all the leftover candies and cookies and IScreams???
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Isn’t it adorable? From my sweet brother and sis-in-law. I have to check out the little shop she got it at because they have some really adorable stuff.
That is one sweet treat! Of which I have skimmed my toe in once or twice or several more times than that over the last several weeks. Yikes! And yet . . worth it.
It’s a lot of ‘activity’ leading up to the big day and then boom…back to ‘normal.’ Me thinks the adjustment period may take some time getting used to. 🤪
I overdosed on Chinese food yesterday and we have another get-together later today. Praying there is no Chinese food! lol. Love your ornament! Hoping you had a fabulous holiday!
As we are on our own, the thugs decided to make the place really Christmassy…you know, wrapping paper on the floor, squeals of joy…except in their case it was the kitchen waste bin and disputes over ownership of the contents…
Hey Monika there IS a co-relation between holiday sweets & headaches? Can they bring on migraines to people who have migraines other times of the year? I ask because almost everybody out a Mary-Ellen’s had various degrees of migraine!! I seemed to be the only w/out any sort of headache……I’m kind of glad I didn’t eat much sweet stuff!!!! 😉

Belated Fleas Navidog with best wishes for a pawsome 2019. 😍
A big thumbs up to that opening pic! Meanwhile, I still have some cookies to chew to dispose of as culinary treats.
Good luck with the ‘disposal’ work 🤣
Yum that coffee looks good! Already planning my 2019 diet!!
I need to live off the fat of the land even before I go on a diet! LOL
Truth!
HuMan did eat sweets too early in the day…
She controlled herself once she stopped vibrating😉
💜nose nudges💜
Hahaha! We call them the sugar shakes but I like the your description, too!
We had a laid back holiday. I’ve eaten too much with all the snacks people brought to work.
It’s the one time when I miss work-taking in leftover sweets! 😈
It’s been a wonderful holiday season, but I have to admit, it’s time to start eating a bit healthier!
LOL
Amen. And then some.

Hee, hee…I’m right there next to your ma, Ruby!
We had our big Christmas feast and then prime rib with the inlaws for Christmas dinner. Ate lighter today ha ha
Whoa…lots of meat used to make me tired. Now it’s just the sugar crash that does that. 🙂
Oooooooo, that looks good! I love that tree ornament!!
Isn’t it adorable? From my sweet brother and sis-in-law. I have to check out the little shop she got it at because they have some really adorable stuff.
I know…isn’t it adorable?! Today is the pawfect day for a warm beverage. 🥶
Monika,
That is one sweet treat! Of which I have skimmed my toe in once or twice or several more times than that over the last several weeks. Yikes! And yet . . worth it.
Good luck coming out of your food coma.
Blessings and peace
There’s a whole lotta yummy in that cup!
Indeed!
A happy and merry 2019 to you 🙂
And to you as well. 😊
And that’s our wish for you as well! Happy 2019!
It’s so much fun, but it’s also a relief when it’s over!! (well, other than the sweets still lingering around….)
It’s a lot of ‘activity’ leading up to the big day and then boom…back to ‘normal.’ Me thinks the adjustment period may take some time getting used to. 🤪
That drink looks amazing! I hope that you have a wonderful holiday.
Hope yours was pawtastic as well!

Oooh, Chinese…sounds so healthy compared to what I’ve been stuffing down my gullet. Here’s to a pawsome 2019!
As of noon today I once again gave up sugar and dairy. Good luck on the cleanse!
Good for you! You know I’m rooting for you.
I stupidly stood on the scale this morning. What in the name of hell was I thinking to do such a thing the day after Christmas?
{Snort} Yeah, I’m hoping NEVER to find my scale any time soon.
Yeah. Don’t even bother looking for it. Got nasty with me.. Seriously. Just coz I didn’t step on you for a week no need to be so mean…
I don’t think I could face the groans.
Buahaha… or the silent stare of recrimination…
Nothing worse than a scale that gives raspberries.
Right? I suggest you stay away.
I plan to leave skid marks!
Buahaha!
You really are in a food coma if you think it’s already December 26, 2019! 😛
GAH! See what fat fingers do?
I have half a recipe of 4 different kinds of caramels–vanilla, chocolate, espresso, and Baileys Irish Creme. Fudge would be overwhelmed
Oh my gosh! And I thought I had sweets. 😉
As we are on our own, the thugs decided to make the place really Christmassy…you know, wrapping paper on the floor, squeals of joy…except in their case it was the kitchen waste bin and disputes over ownership of the contents…
I can just picture it. Hope it brought out a few smiles. Happy Boxing Day.
And to you! I now have a brick on top of the waste bin
Good old ingenuity…works every time. My hips would benefit from a steel trap on the cookie bin. 😈
We have plenty of fudge here, and cookies galore!
I used to be able to take the extras in to work but with retirement, that ship sailed. 😬
we surrendered to the sugar, it’s been a lovely little affair but it should be over soon or we’ll be blimps.
I have plenty of extra that I’d be willing to share. 😊
This the season for sweets, all the special fudge and other sweet goodies. There aren’t any at our house at all. I’m happy about that.
Have a fabulous day and weekend detoxing. That’s what we’re doing too. ♥
All that holiday sugar is dangerous isn’t it? I expect daily headaches until the purge is complete. 😬
We didn’t do any sweets this year, but we can’t. Doctors orders. Bugger. 🙂
My dogtor should prescribe a sweet free howliday! My hips would probably be de-lited. 😇

I get withdrawal headaches from sugar but not sure if they cause them otherwise. Sugar should be labeled as rat poison! ☠️
