Would the in-laws have been offended if you'd made a quick run to the corner store and picked up some diet Coke?<BR/>Nest year will be better.<BR/>And, I happen to think that clothes are extremely personal. But, what can one do but smile, say "thank you" and hope that there's a gift receipt somewhere.<BR/>Happy New Year!!Minnesota Nicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170043587010711783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19467054.post-55381566063273485922007-12-29T14:01:00.000-04:002007-12-29T14:01:00.000-04:00Hey Heidi, That is tough.

And trying our best is all we can ask of ourselves isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Take care!Scott K.

Not everyone drinks alcoholic beverages twice a week. We rarely drink; in fact, I did not indulge although alcohol was available. With you on having healthy snacks/treats available, veggies and dips, spicy chicken wings, maybe even a cheesecake made with splenda/sugar mix would have been all it took to make your day. Even pre-D, we were rarely without diet Coke! Next time you visit his relatives, I would bring some of your favorites to the table or even ask them to provide something you can also eat. I'm sure they will be more than willing, they are probably not aware of how difficult it is to maintain control over the holidays. You deserve a huge pat on the back for avoiding temptation, not sure I could do it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19467054.post-1396481087739091792007-12-28T23:28:00.000-04:002007-12-28T23:28:00.000-04:00Heidi,I am so glad Christmas only happens once a y...Heidi,<BR/>I am so glad Christmas only happens once a year. The stress would drive me crazy. I do like your idea of a Christmas party D-style. And I would love for no Food Nazis to be admitted! That would be great.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I have heard of Carl's Jr somewhere but didn't realize that it was affiliated with Hardees. BTW - Hardees is my favorite place in the whole world for Diet Coke. Theirs are the greatest! I recognized the logo on your post right away. I'm looking at a large diet coke cup with the same little star on it from Hardees right now.
