Dorito Diet

"Bill?" Lauren calls out to me from the kitchen while I am sitting at the computer in the other room. "Where did this bag of Doritos come from?"

"I just bought them tonight." I yelled back. "I wanted to try their new flavor combo."

"How are they?" she asks.

"Pretty good."

"I thought you told me last week you were gong to try and lose ten pounds." She says, reminding me of my goal to lose ten pounds.

"I am." I said. "Thats why I only at HALF the bag."

Hah! This is hilarious and sounds just like me!

As for your awesome encounter with Brad Meltzer ... that is basically the coolest thing ever. My blog aspires to be your famous blog!

Also, you totally have me interested in Meltzer now ... I'm in the process of reading The Book of Fate. The Book of Lies wasn't ready for check out at the library yet ... I'll get it soon.

Those things are addictive! Way to control yourself. I was inspired by your Meltzer story. I have contacted my own favorite bestselling author and asked for an advanced copy of his upcoming release so I could review on 'Luke, I am your Father".

I am not holding my breath that this will happen though.

I think I know this diet!
It's the half a tub of ice cream, and half a bar of chocolate diet. You'll be skinny in half the time!
Great start.

Reminds me of an old Sunday morning paper cartoon strip.

It's all about portions.

No one blames you. Their Doritos, how can one not eat at least half a bag. It would be sacreligous to not eat them...

Did you at least eat them while WATCHING the Biggest Loser? Cause that counts too.

I owe you a RTB post... when I am able to free myself from monkey see and monkey do.

So my husband isn't the only one who can easily eat a half (if not the whole) bag of Doritos/Cheetos/etc. without blinking?
