On Fading Away Into Oblivion...In a Sarcastic and Materialistic Manner...

So for my birthday Robert gave me a mini laptop – a writer’s best friend. I can tote this little morsel wherever I go, and, instead of waiting to get home before regurgitating reoccurring mental muses onto his big and masculine 17 inch computer, I can bust out this little beast whenever the temptation arises. It is by the way, the same color as my Hummer. Only a deeper shade of Cherry Cordial.

Speaking of birthdays…when do they stop? I’m twenty eight now, and am already going through a midlife crisis. I tried avoiding this birthday by piercing my tragus and getting a trendy, choppy scene haircut, but I turned twenty eight anyways. And no one told me this hairdo needed to be maintained.

It’s ok, I have a plan. Well it’s still in the works, so in the meantime, I’m just going to bask in the moments when I get carded, and when I am accused of being twenty-two. I’m going to cock my head and grin at the jaws that drop in an appalled fashion when I say that I’m a mommy of two. I’m going to renew my membership at the gym, and continue stashing money into a savings account that will be emptied into the greedy palms of some lucky cosmetic surgeon in a couple of years.

Wait a minute, am I being vain? Am I forgetting that it’s what’s on the inside that counts? That beauty fades, but humility lasts forever?

Abso-freaking-lutely.

Lose 15-20 lbs. in Ten Seconds!!!

This really does work!!! The good thing about it is that the heavier you are, the more weight you drop in the same amount of time. This includes no dieting and no exercising, and it's so simple. None of the ads that pop up on every single website can compare to this.

Step One: Get naked. Don't ask questions, just do it.

Step Two: Go out into the garage.

Step Three: Have a seat on the tool bench.

Step Four: Grab a hatchet, saw, or machete, etc.

Step Five: Lop off your left leg.

Bam. Congrats. You've just dropped 20 lbs.
