210 Calories Per 1/2 Cup - GAH!!!

I did the unthinkable this morning - I read the nutritional info off the carton as I was pouring myself some Egg Nog. 210 calories per 1/2 cup! And, you know I poured more than a 1/2 cup!!! Gah!

Okay - that's it, no more label reading until after Christmas. And, I'll limit myself to one "small" egg nog a day, if that.... I'll pace myself. You know, save up calories for pecan pie later, at 700+ calories a slice.

Ok - I'm giving myself December off looking at labels.... I'll still try and not go hog wild, but I won't look at the numbers.

Until after Christmas, when I hop my fat bod back on the scale - that's another story. But, that's later. Fiddle-dee-dee, as Scarlet says, tomorrow's another day!

Check it out..... I've got me a small stash!!! I ordered that beautiful green lace weight to make a shawl. I'm still checking out patterns and trying to decide exactly which shawl to make. The "Stained Glass" purply-blue-pink lace weight will be a scarf of some sort...., and the other two are sock yarns. The "Pansy" is for gift socks (get me, knitting for someone else, what is this world coming to??) -and the "Red Wood Forest" is for, well, me.

I've already started knitting up the Pansy Socks, and they're looking real purty - but no pics. Shhh, they're supposed to be a secret!

And, in the holiday spirit, for those of you who know and love Kaity I give you this blast from the past, circa 1994. And, no, she doesn't know I've done this... yet.
