how I ate my way through christmas vacation

Didn't want to post this all as it was happening since there's been a few robberies on my street over the past few weeks. I doubt the theiving parties stop in here, but still no sense in shouting from the computer tops that we were out of town.

Saturday/Sunday: Redeye into Logan where Dad met us. First cup of Dunkin's coffee and a chocolate donut. Yum.

Spent the day recovering from flight and had a lovely dinner with the family. Barbecue pork. Yum.

Monday: Shopped the Derby Street mall and then headed over to Dude and Dudettes for a wonderful evening. Saw M and K for the first time in ages and had a great time catching up with them and baby J. One of the happiest tykes I've met up with in a long time. Ate hoards of good food. Bacon wrapped scallops, mini pizzas, wine and cheeses of the world...and weejuns of course. Yum.

Tuesday: Spent morning recovering from evening's festivities in front of D&D's TV and then headed back to Weymouth. Met up with J&C at Dunkins for coffee and donuts. Yum.

Wednesday: Spent the day shopping and hanging out with Mom. Ended up eating a delicious chicken dinner with the family. Yum.

Thursday: Went into town to poke around and saw For Your Consideration at the Kendall Square Cinema. (Fun, in a hollywood insider type of way.) Catherine O'Hara was fantasically tragic. Ended up meeting J and C at the B-Side for Guiness and Calamari. Good times! (and Yum.)

Friday: Made some pies, shopped and then went to dinner with Parentals and Gram at the Hearth and Kettle. Yum.

Saturday: A day of relative rest, though much shopping and wrapping did occur. Broke my long standing boycott of McDonalds and tried one of those new Wrap Snack things. Oooog! Didn't taste too bad, but I felt as though I'd swallowed a live fish and it was slowly making it's way through my digestive tract. Yuck.

Sunday: Another pie was baked. Spent most of Christmas Eve with the family. Dude and Dudette are officially engaged! So exciting to finally get to talk about it since I'd been keeping it a secrect all week. Even more exciting to have her as sister. Yay! Had a dinner of beef fondue with fancy dipping sauces and a nice wine. Yum!

Monday: Christmas Day over at Aunt J's. More food, folks and fun! Yum!

Long story short: I'm very ready for a dieting resolution next week.
