Not sure what HASAY is? Read all about it <a href="http://halfasgoodasyou.com/?p=1530" target="blank">here</a>.</em></p> <p>So in case you were wondering, I am still alive and kicking. Life has been kicking my ass lately so I stepped away from the blogosphere to things in order. Don’t worry, it was nothing too serious, just some severe behavioral issues and sleep deprivation from the kids that required my full attention. More on that later.</p> <p>HASAY…hmm, HASAY. For me, dieting in the holiday season is akin to Paris Hilton shying away from a camera, pretty damn near impossible. I’m trying though. Exercise is a different story, I’ve pretty much dropped the ball on that for now but I plan on picking it back up and running with it soon.

Again, more on that later.</p> <p>On a positive note, I can’t look too bad since some old dude hit on me in Subway last week. I actually didn’t notice until the chick that works there came over and said “he was TOTALLY checking you out!”. I’ll take it as a compliment, even if the dude was missing half his teeth. I’ll take what I can get these days.</p> <p>So how are you guys doing this holiday season? Are you scarfing the Christmas cookies and fudge yet?
