Where in the World is Lopez?

Dina here!

No, the Pez isn't slapped between the pages of some children's book for you to find; he's just taking a couple of days off so he can focus on his play, which I am going to see tonight. I don't know how he does it. I could never remember all those lines! People are always asking me if we rehearse what we're going to say in our show. The answer to that is no. Believe me, if we rehearsed, it would definitely sound that way. Lopez is the only one in the room who can act! Besides, it's more fun on the fly. Being a Gemini, I love the unpredictable! Of course, we do have to watch out for saying anything that could get us fined/fired/flogged.

I would like to, at this point, put out a disclaimer that if I come across unusually crabby lately, it's because of my diet. I'm trying to be healthy, and to be healthy, I have to drop a few pounds. Well, easier said than done, as we all know! It's so tempting to eat what I'm making for the kids. Doesn't a soft, warm waffle drizzled with hot syrup sound a lot better than a tiny pre-packaged carboard-dry muffin? Or some M&M cookie dough ice cream (Breyer's) with hard top as opposed to a flavor-yet-to-be-indentified dessert bar? And don't get me started on steak.... Aauuughhh!!! Well, that's a typical day for me! Sorry if I just made any of you fellow dieters drool. Hey, if you've got any diet tips for me, I would really appreciate the help. I'm only on day #4 and my stomach is screaming "hey you - why are you ignoring me??? feed me - now!!!" It's quite loud!

Thanks for any advice you can give, and have a very scrumptuous Thursday!
