So next weekend we’ll be making the trek to Chuck family territory for the annual 4th of July bash. Every year I tell myself I’m going to lose that last 10-15 pounds I’ve been hanging onto for-like-ever before the next Chuck family reunion. It. Never. Happens. And I know exactly why.
I am all over this realistic goals thing. All over it.

Ha! That’s funny (says the girl that lost 40 pounds but that was a load of fat and huge and 10 pounds isn’t that big of a deal and so she’s thinking that Bythelbs is fine to adopt this way of thinking but she’s also thinking that as she goes to McDonald’s, perhaps a glass of water could be the order of the day. Ha!).
Are you going to continue to blog whilst-a-vacationing? Or will we be deprived of your witty genius (she says without sarcasm and wonders why she’s narrating her own comment)?

Cheryl, you ARE a writer!
Pearls Before Swine is definitely the funniest one out there right now. And McDonald’s cheeseburgers are so very much a naughty little thing I like to eat every few months.
Have fun at the Chuck Family Reunion. I wonder if anyone will do a search for Chuck Norris Family Reunion and get sent here……now THAT would be a fun reunion. And totally worth losing 10 lbs for — so you’d wouldn’t get hiney kicked.

I have already Googled “Chuck Norris Family Reunion” and been redirected here.
Why do you need to lose 10 pounds? Are the women in Chuck’s family all skinny and gross? You don’t need to lose any 10 pounds.
You do need to stop going to McDonald’s because their food is gross. Try Burger King instead. Yes, their food is also gross, but it is exponentially less gross. (Says the woman who could eat her weight in McNuggets because those are so wrong they’re right.)
I’m sure your personal Wii Fit trainer can help you reach your goal. She’s really looking forward to working out with you (I’ve heard).

I actually don’t spend a lot of time at McDonald’s—it was just the general idea that I identified with.
I would be interested in attending a Chuck Norris Family Reunion.
My personal Wii Fit trainer has been generally pleased with my progress, although the last time I met with her she wanted to know what had caused my 1.8 lb weight gain. I told her it was none of her bees wax.

Some virtual people are so nosy.
Oh, and I didn’t think you were really a McDonald’s afficionado. I was just being ironic. You know me and irony. We’re like this.
I’m going to blame everything I do on irony.

Come on ladies, if you’re gonna do fast food you gotta do the good stuff, Apollo Burger, In ‘n’ Out, I’ll even stoop to a Carl’s Jr when desperate, but McDonalds? BurgerKing? Not even worth the calories.
