Possibly Last Cleanse Update

Well I completed my 3rd week on the cleanse and I gotta say I'm kind of over it. In fact, to be completely honest, I cheated a few times this week and had sugar and once I had a small slice of baguette, There was a whole jar of delicious pate in front of me and I had to. I do feel a lot better and my skin is looking pretty good, but I really want a cocktail and coffee. So I think I will end here. I am thinking I'll probably get a colonic now that I'm quasi cleaned out, and that will be my grand finale. I guess I'll continue to limit gluten, dairy, and sugar, but the alcohol and coffee is going to make a big come back. Don't be alarmed if you find me passed out on my lawn with a margarita glass or shaking uncontrollable in line at the local coffee shop.
I did want to do a few days fast, but the Doc said with my anemia it probably wasn't a great idea. She seemed to think I'd get pretty woozy, and I didn't tell her that I'm always kind of half out of it anyway. So that was that for the fast.
Goodbye cleanse

I was so excited to be contacted by Turner Classic Movies (TCM) yesterday, and asked if I would like to write about some of their upcoming programming.

Night at the Museum 2

Just a shout out to SoCal Mom. She had a contest a few weeks back for a Night at The Museum 2 give away. And I won. Yeah for me. I received a movie poster, a glow in the dark flashlight, stickers, McDonald gift certificate, and 4 Imax tickets for the show. I loved the movie and recommend it.
I do have one bone to pick with the film, and that is the Amelia Earhart character. Now I don't want to come off as some kind of reverse sexist, or maybe I do, but come on did they need to make umpteen jokes about her having no sense of direction. She is a great example of a pioneering women and I resent the belittling of her. She did get lost once, but that is hardly her defining characteristic.
Anyway, do go see it, both you and your children will enjoy it. And you can explain to your daughters and sons, who Amelia Earhart really was.
