But I survived another family Christmas party. Tonight's menu was harder to resist because it was my family and all the foods I grew up eating and that I LOVE. But, I stuck to the plan and ate my shrimp and salad. It was delicious, I was full--and mostly I was full of love.
It was a pleasure to sit around talking to my now-adult nieces and nephews. A lovely evening, indeed!
But how to take better care of ME in the midst of craziness....well, that's an area where I will need to grow.
Officially, I need to encourage you to eat every 2-3 hours. (It will help on a lot of levels.) Frankly, I'm impressed that you made it to 11 PM with two meals left over.

The good thing about having two meals left at the end of the day (and of course I don't recommend trying to do this) is that you can eat a brownie topped with chocolate mint soft serve. There are worse fates than that.
Julie, don't make me tell you to "make time"... :) :) Heehee!
