The "O" Ring

Today started out very frustrating but yet entertaining. I have a recipe for a smoothie that contains milk, peanut butter, 1/2 frozen banana and protein powder. Sounds yummy and simple right? Well, I added milk to my smoothie maker and was about to add the peanut butter when I heard something leaking on the counter. All of a sudden the milk in the smoothie maker was all over the counter!!!???!! I screwed the bottom on tighter and proceeded to try again. Again, milk everywhere. (This is when I say F the smoothie maker...moving to the food processor) Making a smoothie in a food processor equals liquid shake. At this point I'm so frustrated I just add crushed ice and drink it anyways. Very tasty actually. I'm thinking to myself, God hates me...how can it be this hard to make a freaking smoothie??!!??

I finish breakfast and call Eric. By the way, he was on his way to Burger King...thanks! I tell him I need a new blender and explain it all to him. He laughs and says ok. He then calls me back about 10 mins later and tells me that his mom washed it yesterday and asked if the "O" ring was on it. My response...."What "O" ring?" Needless to say the "O" ring was sitting on the counter next to the smoothie maker the whole time. Of course I felt like an idiot.

I begin to think that maybe this is the devil trying to get at me. I'm not a religious person, but here lately I've been considering the idea. Seriously though, who better to turn to when you just can't do something and it feels like the whole world is against you. Yes, just because you can't operate a smoothie maker. Who would've thought a simple machine can make you get so angry that you cry and then laugh at yourself because you realize you're a little bonkers!

With the "O" ring in place...dinner was a success. Blended Zuppa Tuscano!
