The following script (from Will & Grace) to be read (preferrably out loud), as fast as you can:
Jack: [
High on coffee, and saying speedily]
Hey, friends, lovers, mothers and other strangers. You are never going to believe what's happened to me... Oh, my God, did you just see that? I almost did a half nelson, I almost bruised my delicates, my delicates, my domo arigatos, Mr tomatoes.
[
Gulps iced coffee drink]
Jack: Huge News! I have met, are you ready for this, Mr Right, well, Mr Right Now, anyway. Good night, folks, I'm here all week, Jack 2000. He works over at the Jumpin Java - you know, that coffee shop on seventy second and his name is Paul and he is cute with a capital Q! And the busier it gets, the hotter he gets, and the hotter he gets, the sweatier he gets, and the sweatier he gets... I forgot where I'm goin with this, but the point is me likey he and he likey me and the best part is... , schezam! he gives me free iced coffee every time I go in which is every hour on the hour and thank you very much and occasionally on the half hour. Ba ba ba ba ba

blows raspberry]
I wish I had the video of this to share. Perhaps you remember it from Will & Grace (in 2001, season 3, ep. 11: Coffee and Commitment). This short monologue stands as one of the funniest in modern comedy in my opinion. I always laugh inside when I even think of the image in my mind. The image of Jack high on coffee . . . not the infatuation with finding Mr Right . . . in that respect, I am already happy!
Sooo, what is my point, besides sharing comedy? This monologue serves as my little comedic devil on my shoulder, when I am buzzing from too much coffee, cappuccino, latte or the like. Of which I am buzzing now and getting things done. Speedy Momma, cleaning fury, tickling machine and fast storyteller . . . all within a few minutes. Or is it the good angel on my shoulder warning me? Don't know, don't really care . . . moderation is key! And coffee has few carbs in it - just a little cream or non-dairy, thank you!
Day 26 of being on the Sonoma Diet - Waves 1 & 2! With the exception of Easter and a very slow re-entry back into the "getting the white out" cleanse after Easter, we (Larry and I) are doing fine. Crud, I just realized I was hoping on the 7 lbs a month weight loss that is considered healthy and not too drastic, and . . . wait a minute . . . I did that!!! SEVEN pounds off, and the month cycle is the 25th of April! Yay me! O.K., and Larry, who is having a much easier time with this. Sugar, in the form of chocolate, is creeping back in for me, and my craving for this is not quite squashed yet. I was going for the 70% and even 85% cocoa Lindt chocolate only, but find I am sneaking in (no, make that mindlessly, carelessly grabbing) some of the Easter left over choc. eggs that remain in Jose's basket in the dining room. More spring clean-up needed I guess!
I must mention the exercise component of this weight loss. There has been nothing special. Yoga, pilates and other videos have been left in their pile, gathering dust I suspect. That's right, we've just been living the springtime - with gardening, walking, some stretching and being outside - oh, happy Spring! I do plan to up the bicycling and begin run/walk intervals this next 30 days. I have been so fearful of wrenching my foot and realize that fear is paralyzing me from even beginning. No fear! Just get going and find out, and discover as I move along!
More foodie type offerings to come - in the form of photos, lists & links. I will also share the ups and downs of the past month. Really, there have not been many downs - surprisingly!
Afternoon tasks here I come . . . sans coffee.
(and yes, I ended every paragrapgh with an exclamation point! Buzz-buzzzz!)
