From plate, to mouth, to thighs…

I wasn’t kidding when I said I will be 10 pounds heavier when I visit Utah this Christmas. The Christmas goodies are killing me. I can’t believe how generous people are here. I have never received so many treats in one week. It started early last week and we have had goodies on our doorstep or people dropping by every day now. So far we have been given candy bars, fudge, chocolate covered pretzels, brownies, cookies, Christmas CD, and oranges (okay, so the last two aren’t sugary treats but still). I started feeling guilty for not giving back so I made my childhood favorite, Hershey Kiss Cookies. I made 100 cookies today and handed them out to friends. Of course, I snacked on the dough while making it and then shoved five baked cookies into my mouth. There are a few left just sitting on the counter waiting to be eaten and it’s likely that I will be the one to finish them off. Where’s the self control?!?! It’s completely gone! I’m hoping to get it back for the New Year. I may just have to get pregnant so I have an excuse for the extra poundage. (Just kidding…I’m not pregnant nor do I plan on getting pregnant soon—but man it would be nice to have a valid excuse for the weight gain. Sigh.).

Ha! It’s the worst when people give you stuff beacause for some reason it’s way more fun to eat treats that someone else made. I have a hunch you’re just as beautiful as ever though. I say enjoy the festivities and lets hear it for New Years resolutions!

Kerrie,
I have the pregnancy excuse but I still feel like a fatty! It’s a dirty shame that it can’t be spread out throughout the year with treats being delivered to your home because it’s almost overkill on the sugar. I might give out salsa to friends just to give people a break from all the sugar!

I love those cookies too! Do you think you could email me the recipe when you have a minute??? I have been craving those this month and I’m already fat from post pregnancy so I don’t care if they go to my thighs.

I understand. Your’e talking to sugar mama. My back neighbor called this morning and said she had a breakfast treat for us. Hot gooey (and delicious) cinnamon rolls were sitting on our fence. Let’s just say I hope Thayne gets one after work. (Did you have to post a picture of that cookie- now I want to make them.)
