i know i really shouldn't.

you're welcome to. help yourself. that's why i put 'em out.

but, i shouldn't. i really shouldn't. i've been so good lately, you know. i've been drinking my coffee with sweet n low and half and half.

i thought you gave up coffee, joanne?

well, i did. but then i found out, they did a study, you know. they found out that coffee actually boosts your metabolism. and if you drink it with half and half, the coffee works extra hard to burn off the extra fat in the cream, and then it continues to work that hard to burn off other calories. and the sweet n low has no carbs, so that's good for you.

hm.

so as long as you don't take in any carbs when you drink it, it's actually better for your health. so i said to myself, i said, if one cup can burn a few calories, imagine what a few cups would do! so now i drink three to five cups a day. with half and half, of course. that's the key, you know.

but isn't the fat in the--

so, maybe i could have just one. you know, to give the coffee something to burn off.
