The trick is to keep it from becoming so.<br /><br />I do have lists for gifts and holiday projects, but they're more like scribbles rather than detailed lists.WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-26293687426358307452011-12-02T19:31:05.287-05:002011-12-02T19:31:05.287-05:00@SSA - thanks for the comment about cotton cream. ...@SSA - thanks for the comment about cotton cream.

A tip from my personal trainer was, keep drinking water during the day,and keep a water chart, everyone needs 2 litres, 8 glasses minimum a day, as thirst-ie dehydration strangely can trigger your body's natural hunger signals.
