You can call me Betty, or...
Blender
I have been using my immersion blender only for soup & hummus, but today I thought I’d try making a smoothie. It works so much better as a smoothie maker than a regular blender. Maybe it’s only me, but I like the way it’s easier to clean up after.
Also, I’m a little jealous of all of these “green smothies” I see because I would love to be able to drink those and have great health benefits, I can’t. I can’t consume a lot of those greens because they mess with my stomach. :(
At least I still have peanut butter.
Tip:
Don’t add “protein powder” to your oatmeal for a boost in protein. It takes like chalk. Well, at least the vegan rice protein powder I added to mine this morning did. Ick.
I want to add more protein to my oatmeal but I can’t think of anything else other than protein powder. Hmm.
Edited to reply to notes: not vegan, but have a long list of don’ts, egg whites are ok though. I might try that! Thanks guys!

Occasionally Sam or I will say this back at each other when we don’t know what to say. We know this episode by heart.

I got a haircut by a top notch hair stylist this week, and I love it. I like how versatile, how different and lighter it is.
Tired
Work held my shift for 12 hrs tonight, 4 extra hrs than normal. Totally wasn’t prepared because it’s two days til christmas & I thought we’d be slow.
On my way home at 2:45am got pulled over by a cop because I weaved a little on the highway. Explained I worked a long shift & was tired and received no ticket. I’m thankful for that anyway. Side note: the cop looked Jay from Kevin Smith’s movies except short hair…and well, a cop. :)
Off to bed now
My TB is a good gift giver! I love all of these things! Did you make the coasters? I think I’ve seen DIY coasters similar on pinterest!
The two peas in a pod s&p set is too cute. Thanks for thinking of our anniversary!
I love these paper clips! They are almost too pretty to use. So far they are displayed above my desk like art. :)
I love anthropologie! The oven mitt is like art too, hanging by my stove.
I have been wanting to read this book by Amy Sedaris since I heard her on the Splendid Table. Can’t wait to dig into this.
I’ve been jonesing for this style of measuring items. I couldn’t decide if I wanted cups or spoons or whatnot, so I didn’t buy myself any. Thank you TB!
It feels so good to get a package that fits me perfectly! I’m also excited to send out my gift to my TB recipient either today or tomorrow. I love giving gifts!
Package!
I just opened a package from my Tumblr Buddy, but each gift is beautifully wrapped with a neat tag note on each, and I can’t decide if I should wait and open them on Christmas or not…I probably won’t stand a chance to wait that long. :) Pictures to come in a few.

Will be making this for holiday gifts this year!
vegetables
I have been eating more fruits & veggies since August but only yesterday I checked to see how many per day I should be eating. I am on target with fruit but only 1 or 1.5 cups out of 2.5 cups per day. My problem is that I can’t eat veggies with a lot of insoluble fiber unless I cook the heck out of them.
Any suggestions on how to eat more veggies?
