Shit

We were on vacation for the last few days up in beautiful Show Low, Arizona and so I didn't have much of a chance to blog anything. I have some good recipes and fabulous insights coming your way once unpacking, laundry doing and the much needed vacation from my vacation takes place. I love my kids, but traveling with them makes me need a deep tissue massage.

Some whiskey wouldn't suck either.

My husband was on the same level of mental and physical exhaustion upon our arrival home and kindly set out to make us some green smoothies while I got the kids bathed and put to bed. I was almost done dressing them in their pjs when I heard the blender make a super weird noise, followed by silence, followed by him very calmly call my name.

I walked into the kitchen to see this.

In case you can't see it, yes it is INSIDE my cabinets.

I have to say, I wasn't even upset. This has to be one of the most impressive disasters I've ever seen.

As it turns out, if you feel that the lid to the blender is on tight enough and you walk away from it while it's on the smoothie cycle, you could find yourself across the room just in time to witness a fireworks display of semi blended liquid geysering from the top of your appliance once the lid shoots off like Augustus Gloop when he gets jammed into the chocolate tube in Willy Wonka and then blasted to the fudge room once the pressure building up beneath him reaches critical mass.

It looks like a Jackson Pollack painting
