Madea Makes Me Laugh
Ahhh....Friday. It's the first Friday of 2006 and I'm feeling good. The sun is shining, the street sweeper came by today and worked extra hard out in front of my house and I rolled into the office around 10am because I decided to spend time with the cat this morning. (yeah, I'm one of those cat people).
Yesterday I rambled - and some of you said hello. Thank you! Yes, I am crazy - but in a good way so don't worry. What I didn't write about was my follow-up appt with my doctor yesterday morning. The appt was to review my lab results he ran just to check in on me (new doc - you know how it is). Results: he told me I'm too healthy to be in his office and to go away. Yahoo! No matter what may be going on in my life, ultimately I am extremely healthy and that's something to be really proud about.
Okay, so last night I went to see Madea Goes to Jail in Oakland, CA. OHMYGOODNESSWHATAGREATSHOW! I tell you, if you like shows with life messages, rent the videos of Tyler Perry's stage performances and meet Madea. She will crack you up and make you cheer as she puts her family into place over and over and over again.
Tyler is amazing as Madea and he breaks character all over the place as he cracks himself up and stops the show to interact with the audience. "Sit down I said! The show started at 8:00. Why are you walkin' in here late?" and "Spit out that gum! All that snapin' is driving me crazy up here." And the local jokes! He referenced local towns and the redlight district in town, which cracked up the audience.
What makes me a fan of Tyler's is his messages. Every show is influenced heavily with his faith beliefs (he's a saved Christian) and has a deep message about living a good life. Now, I'm not a Christian, but I tell you, these shows move me in a way I've never been moved before. Thanks Mom for going with me and sharing our experiences on the way home - reminding each other of what we heard. What fun!
Food - I'm feeling good today. Had my breakfast, brought my lunch to work. I have the best days when I'm working because I'm busy and I plan my food out and have it all with me every day. Another week of being back on a schedule will make my weekends much easier.
My housemate mentioned this morning the NutriSystem deal going on right now and thanks to many of you here and on the JC boards I was able to share with her some of your experiences with it. She is choosing to make life changing choices this year - quit smoking and loosing weight. She's not there yet, but when she's ready I'll be there to support her in every way I can.
Happy Weekend everyone!
