AFTERMATH ..........

I'm feeling a little bit full and bloated at the moment and I think that I'm in need of ..........
.......... some of this ..........

.......... and a touch of this, 'cos I've had too much of ..........


.......... THIS !!!!! ..........

.......... AND THIS !!!!! ..........


.......... AND THIS !!!!! ..........

and rather too many of these, nice as they were, so I'm in need of some of ........

.......... THIS ..........

..........AND THIS although,


we will be counting down the minutes to midnight tomorrow and there will be ..........

.......... Fireworks and , OH NO ..........

.......... more of THIS !!!!! Detox will have to wait a few more days !!!!!

Wishing all of my blogging pals everything that you wish yourselves and your families for 2010.
Many thanks for all of your wonderful comments and your support and I look forward to reading and commenting on your posts in the coming year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

    Yah - The second to comment, I do think this is a first!? Jackie, I loved that quote. That is truly how we should live our lives. Such an appropriate post and the holidays is truly about breaking all the rules. I thank you for each & every word you have expressed to me over these hard months. You are a friend for a lifetime. I wish you, Mr. Home and your sweet family a magnificent New Year. May you ring it in with a champagne in hand and knowing I am thinking of you here in America. All my best with love,
    xx deb

    A truly wonderful post! That quote is going into my commonplace book and probably somewhere on my wall. What a great wish for a new year.

    Happy New Year to you, and enjoy the celebrations. Detox can wait!

    Just a fantastic post and ditto over here on how you feel....except my son turns 10 tomorrow so there won't be much of that champagne that I wish for, for fear the parents of the boys that come over won't let them come over again! On second thought, maybe I will so the boys aren't always at my house, hmmm something to think about!

    Oh Jackie it sounds like you need to come to my rather elegant New Years bash, we have fairy dust to take care of all that Christmas excess, plus we are off to Venice and a masked ball. You simply have to come it won't be fun with out you. Then there's the gondolas,the fireworks, the sweeping staircase and Blenheim Palace. You just need a sprinkle of fairy dust and you'll be fine......I promise.

    I hope that 2010 brings you joy.
    Much love

    I hear you Jackie ~ I feel the same way!! I am sure I gained 10 pounds over the past 5 days and with all the chocolate around our house ~ I am not sure when my detox will start...as a nibble on a Tolberone...
    Happy New Year to you my new friend ~ 2009 has been good to me and blogging has introduced me to some wonderful people ~ you being one of them. Thank you for your support and your comments from the get go. Cheers to a fantabulous 2010!

    Jackie,

    All of the above has just been too much! I feel your pain and the need for detox from....the cookies, food, liquor, not to mention the preparation of...baking the cookies, wrapping the presents, preparing the Christmas dinner, cleaning up the leftover debris, and removing the Christmas tree! Time for some TLC i.e. manicure, pedicure, a good long soak in the tub, lots of liquids (not the kind that makes you fuzzy headed), and lots of afternoon naps to replenish the body. PHEW!

    Happy New Year.

    Kris

    Yes, I'm very much in favour of such abundance followed by a spartan lifestyle, and over and over again, rather than a tedious even keel. Happy new year to you, Jacqueline!

    Looking forward to hearing how your New Year's eve went! I often think it's criminal that NYE follows the Chrismas feasting so closely ;-) Have a great time being kissed by people who love you and surprising yourself too this year. It's one of the best things we can do I think. Enjoying being back on the veges myself after all that cheese and foie gras!
    Many bright blessings to you Jackie!
