Smoothie?

I did it, I got my Blendtec! It's been YEARS since I've wanted one. Every time that man stands up in Costco with his microphone headset and starts blending his creations, I start foaming at the mouth. Every time I tell myself "next time he's here, I'm getting one". The next time I'm in Costco and the man is making his magic, I don't have $400 drop on a blender. When the opportunity arose to get a huge discount on the blender, I got it. Yes, we need our car fixed, yes, there are bills to pay, and yes, this opportunity doesn't come often. I'm now the owner of this red baby.

I'm hooked

Downton Abbey has me sucked into the TV. I finally started watching it on Netflix this week and haven't stopped. There is something about the show that keeps me glued to the screen the entire time. Every scene must be studied. Detail after detail is important to note. Every actor is perfect for their role. The scenery is amazing. The charm of England is locked in my heart.

Just a minute

I had to run something into a friend's house a couple of weeks ago. I had Cathy's kids and the twins in car. Of course they all wanted to come with me and I, of course, said I'd just be a minute. I guess I was longer than a minute. You can see how they kept themselves busy.
