- A new friend just invited me to his wedding. It's in two weeks. I'm not invited to the reception, and can't go to the mass. Gift ideas???
- Lady GaGa wears stupid clothes.
- I'm nervous to lead boot camp tomorrow am. Usually there's three trainers, but I'll be flying solo.
- Anyone else like to "window" at HomeGoods?
- I'm proud of myself - I've build up quite a repertoire of things I know how to cook (that aren't horrendous).

Get Holiday Food Smart
December 24th, 2009 | 
Author: Don’t skip meals — and eat sensibly. Don’t “save calories” to prep for a disastrous meal. You might just end up gorging on crappy foods because you’re starving.
Eat high-fiber foods before the party. Fiber helps you to feel full. Try low-calorie vegetables, salad fruit or oatmeal.
Eat small amounts of the foods you love. Don’t deprive yourself. Eat a little bit of what you love and choose wisely. Pick one thing you really want to enjoy — then fill up on good stuff like fruits and veggies.
Don’t hang around the buffet. Out of sight, out of mind. Get your food and back away.
Pace yourself. You know your body doesn’t always feel full right away. Slow down. Really chew your food. Set your fork down between bites and take sips of water.

Christmas Traditions
Ohhhhh I love the holidays!
What does your family do? Pretty much when I asked everyone on Facebook told me they have this thing with Christmas pajamas and breakfast at the parents. I swear that I saw a bunch of pics on my friend Steve’s page – and like 15 people were wearing the same pajamas! It was hilarious and looked like so much fun! (I’m trying to get those pictures from him, too! They make me happy.)
My cousin, Peter, and I are with our Aunt Bella and Grandpa Recinto. We're at my Aunt Joy's house in Woodbridge, NJ.
What does my family do? It’s evolved over time and every year is different. Here are my favorite memories:
- We used to go to my cousin’s house in Woodbridge, NJ. The adults would toss coins off the balcony and us kids would scramble to catch the loot. I was one of the little ones and usually ended up crying. What do you expect? Some of my cousins are like four+ years older!
- As one of the “little ones” – I’d get tortured. My cousins would put me in a blanket, gather around and hold the edges and bounce me around. One time, my cousin laid on his back and told me to sit on his feet. He catapulted me in the air and I missed the pile of throw pillows. I gave “hit the wall” a literal meaning.
- To entertain the cousins, I’d do this “I’ll sit on a balloon ‘til it pops” thing. It would hurt to pee for a week after, but I loved the attention.
- One time, I couldn’t find my dad. He dressed up as Santa, and I didn’t even recognize him!
- In 2006, my whole family went to Disney! It was AWESOME
