I haven't written in a while

W and I went out to CA in June to help my parents move and I have finally moved completely out of their house! Now our small one bedroom is packed with stuff and it's kind of frustrating. On Independence Day W and I enjoyed in the many festivities that are to be had here and I got to participate in Colonial Days and answer peoples questions about Appalachian basket weaving. Currently I am looking for a job. I would like to try being a waitress somewhere, I've always wanted to try that. But we'll see what I can find. Well, that's pretty much what's up right now.

Vita-Mix!

On Monday W and I went to Costco and stood for several minutes watching a Vita-Mix demonstration. We were both really impressed with the power and versatility of the Vita-Mix blender. We went home and verified whether we had deposited our economic stimulus check yet and we hadn't! So yesterday we went back to Costco and got one!!! They are expensive, but they are the same blenders that places like Jamba Juice or Orange Julius use and so we thought if this is what the commercial professionals in smoothie making are using then it'd certainly a blender worth owning. And it comes with a 7 year warranty. The Vita-Mix blenders not only make smoothies, but ice cream, sorbet, soup, salsa, dip, salad dressing, jelly, and even peanut butter! And if you get the extra dry container you can also grind wheat, coffee, any other foods you might want to grind, and knead dough! I am so excited to start up our smoothie making this summer! In fact I'm going to head out to the store pretty soon here to get more fruits and veggies! Last night we made some strawberry frozen yogurt and it was wonderful! I can't wait to make more things with our newest addition to our appliances!!!
