I'm a rooster and therefore I am rowdy and obnoxious. But all that is going away starting tomorrow. I have succumbed to the insanity of the South Beach Diet. For the next two weeks, I will have no sugar, no caffeine, and no alcohol. I also will not be indulging in any carbs...but no sugar, no caffeine, and no alcohol! I don't know how I'll survive...I mean that's basically my diet right now! Come Monday morning, I am going to be unrecognizable. All the loopiness and hyper-energy that has become my trademark will be gone because I will not be consuming anything to fuel it. Oh no...I'm going to be boring. I'm going to be a designated driver and I'm going to be boring! (Concerned frown.) You might be wondering why I would put myself through this. There are plenty of reasons...an internal cleansing, it's a challenge, better my health, finally get rid of this Freshman 23...but really, most of all, it's because my sister is getting married in one month and my bridesmaid dress...well, I can't zip it up...um, yeah. It's ridiculous. I know. So this will help me fit into it. Then, if after a month I really do feel better about myself, I will try and stick with it. Plus, I'm a sucker for peer pressure. The whole Story Department is going to be on it starting tomorrow. This diet is taking over. It's the latest craze. The South Beach Diet is like the new metrosexual! So today, the whole day, is last call for me...I'm drinking my meals today. It's all aboot the caffeine and alcohol. Just call me a lush...whatever the fuzz ever. Happy 2004.

This means two things:
a) You are joining the ranks of your beloved non-caffeine, non-alcohol, designatied-drivering BORING ex-roomie
b) When I come to visit (right after Presidents Day Weekend) (in less than a month), you are not going to partake in the baking extravaganza (i.e. eat really good vegan desserts and junk) and totally insult my kindheartedness.
Mollie Belle, I'm not sure I approve of all this... you MUST stop before I get to SoCal, and that's an order!!
You should go vegan for a month instead. And do yoga, because MAN, I love yoga. And vegan food. And OH CRAP, I have to get off my blog-posting ass and go to work!!!
