You guys are killing me. Why?
WhY? WHY did you make me have to think about this?

I told myself at the beginning of November I was going to lay off the brandy and the bit of eggnog I add to season it a little topped off of course with a dash of nutmeg. This is the entire holiday season for me and basically the only festive thing I do that's Christmassy.
I've done so well! I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread because now my mouth is watering for it. I hate you all!
(how's that for displaced aggression?)I have a pretty active nightlife as a highly regarded and well known regular at a small neighborhood sports bar and grill mostly full of younger guys that's about a minute from my home. The folks that I've gotten to know there have become my friends and family along with men I've lusted after and and a couple of the girls I've become kind of a big sister/cool mom to and it's all been very rewarding and fulfilling and having a social life and dare I say even being popular is addictive as heck. I'm usually there until closing anywhere from two to six nights a week and usually have two or three light beers. (ick) In spite of this, I have managed to lose a fair amount of weight in the last year and I'm really happy with myself and have kind of found the balance of how many junk calories and carbs I can have and still continue to hopefully drop that last 10 pounds. I didn't even make cookies this year.
EGGNOG WILL THROW THIS WHOLE BALANCE INTO THE BIN.
I can't. I won't. I want it so bad.
