coca cola.

i helped out on a coke spec a couple weekends ago and this is what the fridge looked like for one of the scenes. awesome.

a smoothie situation.

last night i wanted to test out my new fruit in smoothie form. i was very excited. i had some frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, apple sauce, a banana, some orange juice and little bit of soy milk. i started blending it up, on the 'ice crush' setting, but i was having some trouble getting all the frozen fruit to blend. i would start the blender, then stop it and stir it. and then repeat a bunch of times....i was a getting a little annoyed that it was taking so long, so the next time i turned the blender on, i stuck my spoon in while it was going. needless to say, i have been reminded why you're not supposed to do that. my smoothie went everywhere! it was pretty hilarious and i'm totally bummed i don't have a picture to share.

i had another smoothie for breakfast, it was delicious and way less messy.
