it's official, folks: i am a freak. i tried to make a smoothie today because i can't have candy (lent...) but i still need sweet things because i'm a sugar addict, so yes. i have never made a smoothie for myself before, sad as that is, but i thought i'd go for it. so i got out my fruit, my yogurt, a cup of ice, and some piña colada mix (the secret to any good smoothie) and i was feeling good. i poured them all into the blender, screwed the thingy down, and proceeded to liquefy. thouroughly satisfied, i tried to separate the pitcher from the blender... unsuccessfully. i somehow managed to separate the pitcher from the bottom of the pitcher... and smoothie leaked out all over the counter, floor, and me. so that's cool, i guess... one more reason why i'm a freak. i managed to salvage about half a glass of smoothie in the pitcher still, and for what it's worth, it was a kick-ass smoothie. yeah...
