As I sit
here pondering what to write about in this week’s column, I’m enjoying one of
my biggest weaknesses: a chocolate chip cookie. Every week when our
Editor-in-Chief goes to Hays to pick up the papers, he comes back with a large
box of donuts, honey buns and long johns, plus a couple boxes of cookies. I
used to reward myself on Wednesday afternoons with a chocolate-frosted long
john after I was finished with the weekly freight order. But that was before I
decided I wanted to lose a few pounds. So now, if I could just keep my mitts
out of the cookie container, I might actually succeed with my goal.
With the
holidays coming up, many of us will be cooking up all kinds of tasty treats and
delightful delicacies, and packing them up by the bag and boxful to take to
family gatherings and get-togethers with friends. I thought it appropriate,
then, to pass along this daily exercise plan that you may want to consider for
your usual New Year’s resolution to get in shape. I did not make this up, and I
don’t know who did; I just wish I were this creative.
Monday:
Beat around
the bush.
Jump to
conclusions.
Climb the
walls.
Wade
through paperwork.
Tuesday:
Drag my
heels.
Push my
luck.
Make mountains
out of molehills.
Hit the
nail on the head.
Wednesday:
Bend over
backwards.
Jump on the
bandwagon.
Balance the
books.
Run around
in circles.
Thursday:
Toot my own
horn.
Climb the
ladder of success.
Pull out
all the stops.
Add fuel to
the fire.
Friday:
Open a can
of worms.
Put my foot
in my mouth.
Start the
ball rolling.
Go over the
edge.
Saturday:
Pick up the
pieces.
