Happy Valentines Day

As I look back on the month of February, the moment that fills my mind was Valentines day. There are two pearls of the Duffey archives that I'd like to share. First, I must brag on Hot Wife as she gave me something truly special. A blender. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you sigh. You see it's not just any blender. This is a Blendtec blender - a blender with serious horsepower. Now I've been blending the basics, smoothies, whole food juices, and of course non-dairy ice cream, but if you are interested in all the things that can be blended in the Blendtec, check out Will It Blend. If you wish or are crazy enough, you can blend golf balls, an I-phone, lawn tools, etc. So the next time I want to have a strawberry-banana smoothie with a side of golf ball dust, I've got the right tool for the job.

Second, I want to share with you about my diva daughter's dialog on Valentines Day. Let me give you the background. Hot Wife has been telling me about how her dad, brought her and Aunt 'Tacy a single rose each Valentines day. A pink one for Aunt 'Tacy and yellow for Hot Wife. Anyway, I thought that was a good idea and bought Toddler O a pink rose (and one for Hot Wife and Momma Deb to boot). I am so excited and give Toddler O her rose and she says, "I only get one?"

I reply, "yes dear, one pretty rose".

"I wanted more than one"

"Well maybe next time", I followed.

I didn't take that too personally coming from a three year-old and went on my business as she used her rose like a sword. And just a few moments later she jabbed me again.

"I wanted a red one!"

Argh, we've got a diva on our hands!
