My Mom is 84 going on 85, 

smoked everyday of her life since she was 14 (disgusting, I know)

 has never lifted one weight or done any exercising what so ever, but she did raise 5 kids, 15 grandkids and 14 great grandchildren (and one on the way) and I call that being a superwoman.

Who needs to exercise with all that.

Her list of accomplishments are to numerous to list, but you get the point.

 Has never drank a smoothie,

eaten margarine and butter and probably everything else

 that we have been told that is bad for us

 and will shorten our lives and she is still going strong.

 I don't know another person as strong as her.

The reason for writing this post,

 is because of this  article,

Think raw veggies are best? Think again...

 I saw the link on the blog, Tales of me and husband

 I think all this new age eating is killing us and that is my humble opinion.

 Bon Appetite...

The aftermath.

Every year, I downsize my Christmas stuff. 

But this year, I'm loving just about everything that I have for Christmas decorating.

 So I think, I will keep everything.

 It's mostly baubles, plastic trees, plastic garland and a few knick knacks.

 I started buying fresh garlands, wreaths, trees, tree cuttings and other Christmas clippings, and after the new year, it all gets thrown away.

 No more storing a bunch of stuff.

 It's bitter sweet taking it all down.

 My january is already looking busy, so I am glad to get it done.

 Next up, my office.

 I have procrastinated to long in that room.

 But of course, that is when I do my best work.

 It will definitely be a load off my shoulders,

 once I get organized and up to date with my hubbies quickbooks for the year. 

The whole year.

 That is what I have to enter.

  See you in February (wink wink...)
