I really did.
But after I killed another blender, I decided I had to go big guns. Today both of my children had smoothies that included kale. Yes...yes they did. The thing grinds up anything in a matter of seconds. I made a TON of pesto (I have a secret source of basil I had to hit up today) and it was so easy & incredibly creamy. I currently have more fruits and vegetables in my home than are grown in most small farms. I had a friend stop by today for a green smoothie (this one had kale, blackberries, mango, bananna and greek yogurt) and she is already planning her own purchase. Please, forgive my blatant consumerism but I am really loving this thing. My mixer may end up in a cabinet so the Vitamix can have the precious counter space. Two green smoothies and a yoga class today have me feeling like a health guru.
Other than that, things are just plugging along. It seems to be spring here. I say seems to be because although it was in the mid seventies today, it could snow by the end of the week. I'm not getting too excited quite yet. I'm not even taking Belle to JISP (skiing) tomorrow, it's just too melted & not much fun. I probably only skiied half a dozen times this season (and really only enjoyed once or twice), it has been a bad season up here.
I'm entering the last month of my thirties....hard to believe I met y'all when I was in my mid-twenties! I am not sure how much celebrating will be had, Erin's husband is not doing well. He seems to be withdrawing, sleeping all the time and the mets are everywhere. It is just heartbreaking. We (the girls and I) took Erin to my mom's mountain house in north Georgia for her fortieth. She is bearing up under all this with grace and a remarkable sense of humor. We have booked our May beach trip making sure there is enough room for her boys if they need to be there.
I know all the cherry trees are blooming...I do miss a southern spring!
