As you were lying in bed this morning thinking about all of the holiday cookies you ate, and how you're gonna join Weight Watchers and/or a gym, I know the first thing you thought was: gosh, the Shame Squad would really inspire me to do all those things.
Think and you shall receive, my friends.
Breakfast was a homemade latte and a big ol' bowl of strawberries & blueberries with a sprinkling of granola.
Lunch was 3/4 of bowl of vegetarian bibimbop, minus the egg, because I'm weird about what foods do and don't go with eggs. This was definitely more of a "Chris dish" than an "Alyssa dish," but hey, I didn't have to cook, so I'm in support of it! I made sure I got enough protein with a little Christmas ham after I was done with the bibimbop.
Snack was the Aldi version of a laughing cow wedge, 7 crackers, and some green tea.
Dinner was A Very Superfriends Hanukkah, featuring a latke battle! (Spoiler alert: the Gentiles lost.) We had chicken, lots of latkes, applesauce, salad, a veggie tray, and Oreos once we figured out we hadn't assigned dessert to anyone.
The Gentiles and the Agnostics both got the Jews the same Hanukkah card. I mean, it's a Hanukkah card with a cat, what else were we supposed to do?
We told the kids to open their card before their gift because there was something inside. "It might be a check!" one of them excitedly exclaimed. Clever boy. Alas, it was stickers. But I do appreciate the fiscal prowess.
We played a new game called Monikers, which is hilarious and you should try the next time you want to play a combination of Password and Charades with answers like "A shirtless Vladamir Putin" or "Dick Cheney's Pacemaker" or "Your Mom."
Here we are, gathered around the menorah, which is looking super flammable in this picture.
I didn't prioritize exercising today, so we can't give the day a Kate. We CAN; however, give it a Prince William and Lionel Ritchie (sure, why not?) at a Jewish Care event at Alexandra Palace. Sometimes I even amaze myself at the British Royalty pictures I find.
That's it! Happy 3rd Night of Hanukkah, Boxing Day, and/or Monday to each of you!
