(San Sebastian Port)
It´s the day after Christmas and I feel as big as a house.
Why did I eat like a pig, and not like a mouse?
The decorations are still up reminding me of good cheer.
But all I want to do is curse the champagne and beer.
Don´t get me wrong everything tasted delish.
But now I must live on lettuce and fish.
How long will this last? I´ll keep you posted.
I´m off to eat a raw carrot... oh how I wish it was roasted...

Oh...I hear ya'
These days make new years promises like "I will eat less in 2010" so much easier.
A walk makes it everything better.
Hahaha! I love that poem I just copied it and e-mailed it to my best friend she will find it hilarious!
Jane it sounds like you had a fab time and it was worth all the carrots too! Enjoy and many hugs. xo
Wow, it sounds like you had pretty serious Xmas meals!! Hope you'll be ready soon for the next round / on the 31st!
Love the photos!!
sounds just like me...
you know, that feeling makes me feel so lucky. (and then that barfy feeling kicks in!)
your sights are beautiful and the air looks fresh. soak it in.
happy holidays!

Me too, but I think I will be eating carrots and lettuce much longer than you. What a beautiful day and gorgeous photos! Too 2010! Happy New Year!

Is that a picture of the three wisemen?
love the bird shot - wow!!! love them all, actually~
talk soon!
Great poem!! I agree! Have moved as far as the neighbours across the road today where I ate yet more!!
because of the wit in your well-crafted words
is why i come back for seconds and thirds.
I absolutely Love your poem! Thanks too for the dose full of sunshine - I really needed it. Cheers ~ Conny
jane, nothing with you is mudane! xoxo
Oh I know. My end of the year tight waistbands are my least favorite part of the holidays... Luckily, there is so much more to love. And the new year's resolution to drop that dress size is right around the corner...
What's the Spanish dinner like on THE day? You live in the perfect place to go on looong walks (while munching on carrots).
but wont you be needing something else once you finish your carrot? everything in moderation, including moderation!
Glad to hear that your Christmas was filled with good things to eat (and raw carrots are really only for reindeer this time of year!).
Oh... i understand this so well...I will be on soup for the rest of the week!
Beautiful pictures!
Wonderful pictures! I love the symmetry of the third one. The feeling of being overeaten will pass soon and we'll again miss the good Christmas food for the rest of the year :)
Jane, what a wonderful post-Christmas poem, reflecting my own sentiments!
I hear you...
I want a piece of Spain..I so want.
I think this poem may become a post-Christmas classic, it speaks to all of us.
Thanks for your comments Jane
et.....il faut commencer la nouvelle année en pleine forme, alors,
restons légers sur la nourritures des fêtes, tu as raison, un peu de carottes nous fera du bien !!!

But Xmas is ...once a year.So, cheers...and lettuce after sounds fine for me too!
Just before another wave of yummies...for the 2010 year..(already!)
Enjoy!

( merci pour ta visite je l'attendais depuis lonnnnngtemps, c'etait un petit cadeau de plus! Merci)
love it! so you are a poet too, dear jane, a true renaissance woman :)
TOO FUNNY Jane! The pics are gorgeous! Glad your Christmas was "delish."
All of that blue is very bracing; and I can almost smell the salty air! (But then that reminds me of ham, turkey and stuffing, and I feel full again.)
Fun poem! I hope we all get lots of exercise in 2010.
Ha! Welcome to my world :-)
xo
I love your poem! I wish I had read it before attempting mine. Merry late Christmas to you!
Great poem! This gave me a big smile for I too indulged in chicken enchiladas on Christmas Day and wondered...oof I ate too much!
ditto.

Oh, do these words ring true! Protein shake, here I come...
