rambling monologues about my life
Last week, I didn’t eat. Which may explain quite a few things, including why I haven’t posted here in awhile.
I was doing the master cleanse, which is a juice ‘fast’ (technically it’s not a true fast because you are getting calories) which involves drinking only lemonade. Just typing that sentence makes me sound crazy.
Would it help if I told you it’s special lemonade? Because it is.
Anyway, you drink this lemonade and do a couple of other things that together are supposed to remove toxins from your body. Cleanse you. (This is the part of the post where I should be linkety linking to places that talk about this cleanse, but all of the sites with good info are so poorly designed - really, it seems like there’s an inverse relationship there - that I just can’t do it. You will just have to Google it yourself.) It also happens to be how Beyonce lost 22 pounds for her Dreamgirls role. Just a side note.
Another side note? I did NOT lose 22 pounds. Just in case you were wondering.
And why should you care that I decided to visit Crazy Lemon Land? Really, you probably shouldn’t, if I’m being honest. But I like to tell myself that the thoughts I will share soon go better with a bit of context, so…
Context given. Thoughts soon to follow.

I love that moment when the lights go down and the curtain comes up. I love it whether I'm on stage or in the audience, because either way, the story is about to begin. I see life as a series of scenes: some with fabulous costumes, some with witty lines, others that I wish I could edit out. This is where I try to find the stories, pin down the scenes just right.

So do you feel any better? And the real question I want to ask is did you loose any weight?

does it relieve extraordinary amounts of cynicism and sarcasm? if so, my husband will ask that you provide me with the drink right away…

I would definitely say that doing the cleanse makes you feel better - and I should probably clarify a bit: I’ve done it twice, once strictly according to the instructions (10 days), and then last week, which was an abbreviated version.
You will lose weight quickly (a good bit of it water, I suspect) and (of course!) you will gain it back if you go right back to your normal habits afterward.
and Berit - you might need some other kind of drink for that…

ahhh….the cleanse…..brings back sweet memories of crabbiness, multiple RUNS to the bathroom and the cries and pleas of my family to, for the love of all that’s holy, STOP!
