The McDonalds' Diet

Before I share this hysterical piece written by my sister, Casey. I'd like to reiterate that all buttons and the blog links will be back up shortly.

Now, to the comic relief:


The McDonalds Diet, by Casey

I recently lost 40 lbs. I've still got a little to lose, but I can see big changes in my body. I guess my friends can see the changes too, because many of them have been asking how I did it. I'll share my secret with you. I've been eating nothing but fast food - anything I want off the menu. There are only 2 rules to this diet: you have to bring your kids with you and you can't bring any food home. Here's a typical meal on my diet:

First, place your order. "I'll take one chicken nugget Happy Meal with fries and an orange soda for Michael. The lady will have a hamburger meal with apple dippers and a chocolate milk. I'd like a double cheeseburger with fries and a coke, super-sized." Really, you can order anything you want!

Take your food and the kids to a table and wait for the dieting magic.

Pass out everyone's food. Open the chocolate milk. Oops, forgot Katie's straw. Go back to the drink station and get her one.

Sit back down. Bring that hot, tasty burger to your lips and ...

"I need ketchup for my fries." Check to see if Katie needs any ketchup while you're up. She doesn't. Return to the drink station and get Michael some ketchup.

Sit back down. Pick up your warm burger for that first bite of cheeseburgery goodness and ...

"Ahh, my milk! My milk!!!" Katie has spilled her milk. Head back to the drink station for some napkins to clean the mess. Wipe up the table, floor and child. Throw away the wet napkins.

Sit down, pick up your room temperature burger and ...

"I need more ketchup." "Already!" "Yes, Mooooom, I can't eat my fries without ketchup." *sigh* "Fine." Return to the drink station, your home away from home, for more ketchup.

Sit down, throw a rubbery fry in your mouth before anyone can say anything and ...

"This burger isn't plain. I wanted a plain burger. This one has stuff on it!! I can't eat it unless it's plain." She never said she wanted plain. Go up to the counter and get her a new burger. Plain.

Sit down. Pick up your freezing cold burger, bring it to your mouth and ...

"There's no ketchup on this burger." Are you freaking kidding me??? Stomp up to the drink counter and get her some ketchup.

Sit down, shove the burger in your face and take a bite. Pick up a fry and ...

"I need more orange soda." Curse under your breath, grab the stupid cup, return to the damn drink station and fill up Michael's drink.

Return to the table. Check your watch. Oh, crap! It's time for school. Throw everything away and rush the kids out the door.

Total food consumed: Two fries and one bite of cheeseburger.
Total calories: about 30

Weekly Wrap Up - Heather's Hurricane Winners

I'd like to thank the following:
1. Berri Sweet Picks http://berriesweetpicks.blogspot.com/ for the photo book contest. This a really cute site. Informative and fun. Please give it a look see.
2. I Like Pretty http://ilikepretty.blogspot.com/2009/04/balderdash-makes-me-happy.html for choosing me the winner of her mystery prize giveaway. Follow the link and read my entry. I'm so funny. Speaking (or rather, typing,) of funny - check out her cool crafts at http://www.uglybaby.etsy.com/ I never thought of art for the shower, but now I ralize how under-utilized that space is for art display. Of course, only my family will be able to enjoy it, but I have plans. Bwah ha ha. When people come in my house, I'll tell them as politely as possible that they "reek" and suggest the take a shower. Now. In my shower. I can hear the complements rolling in already.
3. Green Earth Journey http://greenearthjourney.blogspot.com/ for her e-mail newsletter. If you have a teenage daughter or if you are interested in emerging research regarding women, please read her post http://greenearthjourney.blogspot.com/2009/05/should-teens-ditch-makeup.html
Thanks ladies. You've officially won Heather's Hurricane! What is Heather's Hurricane, you might ask yourself. Well, here's your answer. I'll roll thru your sites with a storm of favoriting: stumble, kirtsy, facebook, digg, technorati, etc. (I think you get the idea.) Good times. Good times.

Ladies who do...

I'd like to thank Rosalie at http://ilikepretty.blogspot.com for declaring me "officially hilarious."
Her giveaway was a mystery prize (I just LOVE surprises!) To enter, one needed to create a plot for a movie whose title must begin with "Ladies who do..."

For some reason I can't cut/paste my entry so you could read it here. It you'd like a treat, go thru the link above and it will take you to the contest page. Please do. It's a great site and if you need a laugh, it's the place to go.

Rosalie is a stand-up comedian and a water-proof shower art maker. I had no idea such a market existed, but now we know. While you're there to read my entry, poke around the site and see her shower art which ranges from "pretty to weird". It's a blast!
