will it blend


ok well I now want a blendtec blender- I've always wanted an amazing blender- but this one grinds wheat, makes soup (even heats it), smoothies, ice cream, food processor, juicer- it would be the multi-purpose appliance so I wouldn't have to store a million other appliances/gadgets shoved under my sink somewhere-

I am sure the Vita-mix blender is just as amazing or even better but I am good friends with the guy who manufactures and distributes the blades so I am partial to Blendtec- anyway so at Costco there was a demo guy who was selling the blenders and making smoothie samples for everyone- they were mighty delicious I tell you. There were quite a few people huddled together patiently waiting for a taste- you know how it is at Costco on Saturday around noon time. Taste testers on every aisle and hungry shoppers all fighting for that last sample on the tray... anyway so as the blendtec guy was pouring smoothies into the little sample cups this peculiar, kind of interesting individual butted her way through the crowd to the front and said really loud, "I want one. Not too much. I can't have too much because I just had my colon removed." I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. I had to turn around and look at Chay so I wouldn't be heard laughing. Chay then said in a serious kind of monotoned voice, "where's my camera...I need a picture of this lady."

The more I tell this story the funnier it gets. I love moments like these....


ok and this video is for Chay...please post your Chuck Norris quotes Chay...

LOL!!!! No one messes with Walker! I totally want one of those blenders too! One of my friends' moms just got one.... sooo nice! We should start a fundraiser for us so we can buy one. We could have "The Sisterhood of the traveling blender"!

Yeah Chuck! We love these videos. Taylor goes to those videos all the time. Can you believe what that will blend? OK so do you think that lady really had her colon removed or do you think she just wanted the front of the line and so what if she did you can not just push yourself to the front of the line just because your colon is gone. Can you live with out a colon?

Here's some of my favorites:

In the beginning there was nothing...then Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked that nothing in the face and said "Get a job". That is the story of the universe.

In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse-kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Chuck Norris originally appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this "glitch," Norris replied, "That's no glitch."

Chuck Norris once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Chuck Norris re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publicly claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.

Love the quotes on Chuck, Chay. I wonder... does April ever pretend that you ARE Chuck? Do you ever dress up as Walker for her?

My in-laws have one and they are nice! I love going to their house and using it. Mom just bought one too and loves making soup! AND my bro-in-law works at Blendtec as an engineer to make them. Maybe someday he can cut me a deal to get one :)

Holy Crap that is so funny. I wish my blender had a Chuck Norris blend button. I am going to show this to Brock, the next time I have to ask him 50 times to pick up his army dudes. Maybe when he sees that I could blend them all up, I won't have to ask him anymore LOL!!!!!!! See, See what I can do???

Oh and just as an FYI---you might still need that shelf to store all your crap on, unless this blender can act as a quesadilla maker, sandwich make, waffle iron, George Forman grill and don’t forget the rotisserie oven hahahhh

Hilarious! It is amazing what people can disclose in public! Did the blendtec guy make a face? That would have been really hard not to laugh! The poor lady, though! How awful to have no colon! So, today, I am grateful for my colon--even if my daughter's is acting up with the flu bug she has had--and the chance that I might get it is inevitable! So is the blendtec the same thing as the K-tec just a new name? I think my mom has the Vitamix and loves it too. At Christmas she made us all ice cream several times a day made out of frozen fruit and coconut milk (non-dairy!). I crave it every day! The Chuck Norris video is HILARIOUS! I couldn't stop laughing!

Hello again, April! I love that my computer is not acting up every time I go to your blog! Yay! I do wonder sometimes how crazy it is that we have families! I still feel too immature! Isn't hard to not be jealous of those that get a lot of sleep! No fair! Oh well, I can count my blessings now that I am not getting up EVERY hour of the night! Does Julie still get up A LOT? Okay, as far as a good nature path. I would contact the ZYTO company who makes these amazing machines that can find all the stressed parts of the body. They can guide you to a good practitioner in your area with a good machine and can let you know if they do homeopathy with it or acupunture. Their number is (toll free) 866-369-2265. They are based out of Orem. Good luck!

Gar Bear watches Walker in the wee hours of the morning. Me? I think it is the worst show ever....Worst karate, worst acting, worst stories, worst everything. I just like it because I can get to sleep before Gary does, and I don't have to stay awake listening to his snoring.

The best thing I have ever heard about Chuck Norris have been Chay's quotes. Next time we get together, bust them out for Gar-Bear...He will love them!!! Do you know what? Isaac has the nerve to call Gary "Gar-Bear"!!! (Big Isaac) That might just be a breach of contract or something....what do you think???

OH, and Jaynee...yes, Chay dresses up like ol Chuchy. He can really flex those muscles. This is one of the key reasons Apey is so crazy about him.
