And A New Year Began....

We all enjoyed a nice steak cooked to order in my kitchen New Year's day, finally. We celebrated the night before with the children tooted horns and ratcheted the noise makers, on the front porch whilst throwing confetti all over the place, to Kira's chargrin! ( we sheepishly cleaned as much of it up as we could at the end of the evening), A bit of the bubbly topped it of for Carol and I, then Kira's family and I settled down for a nice game of Phase 10, after the jubiblation, but Carol went home to see the Near Year in with hubby, Rob. We saw the new great ball falling in Times Square before we ran outside to ring it in with the girls. No Carols were sung at my home on New Years day, all were tired from the late night before, but my trusty electric piano, played itself to my content. Anyway, Christmas had been over for a week. I still can't bear to take down the outdoor lights, and the singing penguins almost made it back into the box, but I had to take it out again and play it for a few more weeks. I'm taking down the Xmas decorations slowly but surely it will all get done. I started my Medifast diet as planned, and have lost over 8 pounds already! Well my pork loin is finished cooking, and I'm hungry and need to go so I'll have time to jump into the jacuzzi. Maybe I'll think of what I was going to write about by tomorrow, so tune in, folks, I may have more to say then.
