Festively Plump

From flashing lights to ringing bells, the one true sign that lets me know the holidays have arrived is when my pants start fitting a little more snug. You know you feel it, too! Fall is the season for eating, all the way from Halloween candy corn, to Thanksgiving turkey legs, and further on with Christmas cookies and milk. This year, I had an even larger head start with my four meals a day diet in Spain.

Normally, I’d be a little concerned about my vanity pounds, but this year… this year is different. Two days after Christmas, Brian and I will be on our way to Guatemala with backpacks chock full of pepto, immodium, and cipro. I have a feeling that sometime in the next two months, those extra pounds will come in handy, if you catch my drift.

We can count the days left until takeoff on one hand, and I can tell you that even Brian is jumpy with anticipation. For the past couple years, between work and school, he hasn’t had any substantial amount of downtime. I’m interested to see how he handles all of this upcoming freedom.

Well, that’s about it for this post. I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be partaking heavily in the holiday activities in hopes of remaining festively plump. Oh, and don’t be fooled by the stern look on my face. I’m wishing you and yours some Happy Holidays!
