"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."

“On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.”
-Andrew Olmsted, US Solider, killed in Iraq on January 3rd, 2008 – words from his final blog, written to be put up in the event of his death. (www.andrewolmsted.com
***
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.”
– Erica Jong

have a smoothie

Pages written between yesterday and today: 22

The conversation that takes place at least once a day between me and my mother:

Mother: Do you want a smoothie?
Steph: No thanks.
M: I’m making them. You don’t want one?
S: Nope.
M: Blueberry smoothie?
S: No.
M: Banana smoothie?
S: No.
M: Blueberry banana smoothie.
S: No.
M: But it’s a smoothie.
S: Don’t want one.
M: So you don’t want a smoothie?
S: No.
M: Do you even know what a smoothie is?
S: Yes, don’t want one.
M: That’s just stupid. Everyone wants a smoothie.

FWIW, if you insert the word scrapbook for smoothie, you’ll have a transcript of the last time it was craft day on QVC. I finally broke down and agreed to the scrapbook, which I gave away as a gift. So far, I haven’t caved into the smoothie. Dear Lord, is it November yet?

  6. Emma S Says:

    Congrats on the pages!

    But WHY don’t you want a smoothie?


  7. Danica Says:

    Ahahaha!!! That is too funny! Of course, I love smoothies, so I’d hae said yes. :) WTG on the pages!!:bravo:


  8. Steph T. Says:

    Kat - I never connected it to the nurse-thing!

    Thanks, Michelle! I was very happy about those pages:LOL:

    Carol - now that’s a smoothie I can get into!

    Amy & Danica - my mom said she’d make you smoothies anytime (actually, she said, see, they know what a smoothie is)

    EmmaS - I might have to send Jake after you…

    *commiserates with Tori* Hey - at least you’ve got Saint & Co. (they DON’T like smoothies either:lol:)


  9. cece Says:

    22 pages? PFFFFFFTTTTTTTT I’m Jealous! LOL

    I’m howling at the smoothie. My step mom is no nurse but we have simliar conversations.


  10. Jaq Says:

    b-b-but, why don’t you want the smoothie?

    :razz:

    WTG on the 22 pages


  11. Jill Says:

    Tell your mom I’ll take the smoothie.


  12. Tori Says:

    Well, I don’t have anything against smoothies, but I’ve had very similar conversations with my own mom. Is it any wonder I want to put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on my bedroom door and keep it locked? :lol:


  13. Steph T. Says:

    Cece - and there are many more of the same conversations to come…

    Jaq - I’m sending Jake your way. :razz:

    Jill - my mom would gladly give you the smoothie. But, since you’re on deadline, you probably wouldn’t want to enter into any conversations with her.

    Tori - I’m thinking of hanging a Do Not Disturb sign on my my head.:lol:


  14. Lynn Daniels Says:

    WOO HOO on the pages! And I’m LMAO at the conversation…sounds like a conversation between me and my husband.
