Don't Be Like Lucy — BE Lean


Hey Everyone, I hope you all are having a Fantastic Summer! 

Today is a very exciting day, It is Lucille Ball's Birthday and she is my absolute favorite person and lady ever she always makes me laugh and smile!

 I love I love Lucy it is one of my top favorite shows It always warms my heart and makes me laugh and smile after a long day or after a long day of work she is easy to love.

 She will find a way right into your heart and make you laugh and smile and just make you feel good! 

I have decided to write about one of my favorite episodes of I love Lucy, the chocolate factory episode that episode makes me laugh every time I watch it and I always watch it like it is the first time.

 I am ever seeing it, the episode starts with Ricky learning about Lucy's bounced checks and when he finds out her checks being bounced he immediately blows his top off.. and starts talking in Spanish and English at the same time to Lucy and wondering what she could have done to make so many of her checks bounce.

Lucy and Ethel Minimize the problem while Ricky and Fred Chide them by saying they don't do anything around the house and talk on the phone to their friends and get the tea on the latest gossip of what has been happening with their girlfriends and all the things they have been up too with their lives.

Lucy and Ethel think that Ricky and Fred have it easy because all they do is go outside of the house and go into town and work at their jobs and then get to come home and relax and start all over again the next day.

 Lucy challenges Ricky and Fred to swap with her and Ethel and they will look for jobs outside of the house while Ricky and Fred do all the stuff that Lucy and Ethel do while they are at home like the cooking, and the cleaning, and the laundry just all the essentials.

The bet is on in Ricky's role as a house husband he almost makes a perfect breakfast for him and Lucy unfortunately the breakfast didn't go the way he was planning it would go, eggs, ham,  potatoes, orange juice and exquisitely brewed coffee and Lucy is amazed and astonished at the moment.

Then the phone rings and Lucy tells Ricky to pick his hat up  which he left at the corner drugstore after making two breakfast orders and picking them up, you will have to see the episode to see what happened before he picked up the breakfast orders he explains it to Lucy.

Ethel then arrives to pick up Lucy so they can go Job hunting, they make it to the employment agency and the scene is so funny it will make you laugh when you see it! 

They go back and forth for awhile until finally Mr. Snodgrass settles on Candy Making, back at the home Ricky and Fred are not doing very well in their new roles they are messing up everything.

 Fred dropped the dishes on the floor and they both left iron shaped burn marks on the clothing, and Ricky Starches Lucy's Nylons into cardboard, at the candy factory, the forewoman sternly instructs Lucy in the candy-dipping department Lucy watches the woman next to her as she deftly picks up a cream center, drops it into a puddle of chocolate, rolls it, covers it with chocolate and sets it aside making a swirl design on top ,with a big smile Lucy tries to imitate what the other lady is doing with the chocolate.

She finally manages to make one and drops it onto the finishing tray with a flourish , this is fun Lucy says to her partner next to her, a fly lands on the other lady's face and Lucy has chocolate on her hands she tries to smack the fly and ends up getting chocolate on the other lady's face her coworker promptly slaps Lucy's face leaving her face covered in chocolate, they exchange more and more swats until they are both dripping in chocolate.

The boys have managed to ruin dinner completely Fred makes a seven Layer chocolate cake that is flatter than a pancake and Ricky's chicken and rice concoction sends several poultry carcasses into the ceiling, back at the candy factory Lucy and Ethel have been promoted to the wrapping department, as the candy enters the room by way of the candy belt their job is to wrap each piece of paper and return it to the belt, their forewoman tells them if one pieces gets past them on the belt unwrapped and into the packing room they are fired and then she says let it roll! 

You will have to see the episode to find out what happens with the candy and Lucy and Ethel, I can tell you that it will leave you laughing and smiling the whole time it will give you a deep belly joyous laugh, and the expressions they make while making the chocolate are very entertaining also and will leave you smiling the whole time.

 I decided to write about this episode because I wanted to celebrate Lucille' balls birthday because she is certainly a ball and is such a joy and has touched so many peoples hearts and lives in the time she was here on earth and she left an incredible and beautiful legacy and she will always be remembered for all the joy, love, laughter and entertainment she brought into the world! 

One of my favorite things about Lucy is her laugh and her love for her family, and her friends and how brave she is to try to new things and excel at the thing she wanted to accomplish in.  

She was certainly a bright light and a ball of fire and she had amazing red hair and radiant blue eyes that shined like the diamond she is!I love the show I love Lucy so much, I have a collection of her Dvds of I love Lucy and her show the Lucy Show and a couple other things she starred and have acted in! 

I recommend if you like Lucille ball and enjoy I love lucy celebrate her birthday with watching your favorite episode and just have a joyous and enjoyable time! 

It is good to laugh it makes you feel good on the inside and outside and she will definitely keep you laughing ! There is never a dull moment with Lucille Ball!
