The girl that sits in the cube next to me at work posted on her Facebook that she has the flu. More specifically BOTH type A and B. Is it possible to have both types?! Luckily she was out all day yesterday and today, so I'm hoping I don't catch it.

An immersion blender is a handheld "stick" blender. Before I had this nifty device, if I wanted to make a creamy squash soup, I'd have to cook it, then transfer it to the standing blender in batches (where it gets liquefied but also cools down), and then reheat it on the stove. But with a stick blender, you can just liquefy right in the pot!Also great for one-person portion smoothies. Just stick it in the cup, no need to clean up the whole blender!Also works great for gravies, emulsifying salad dressings, etc.If you get the whisk attachment, it also makes making home made whipped cream a breeze.

Mmmm I love smoothies!

I really have no desire to try the new Yahoo page and wish it would quit asking me. I got picked at random to try it before and hated it. I was so happy when I got my new computer and got to go back to the old one.

I love finding out about stuff like this (immersion blender). Another thing I never knew I needed! ;)I hate that because I couldn't find a full-time job right out of school I am not interning 20+ hours a week and working in retail 30+ hours a week. It's kind of exhausting. But hey, it's money right?

smileysara2008 · September 2009

You can go back to the old Yahoo page? How?! I was forced to switch to the new one, and I hate it.

fallbride1109 · September 2009

Sara, I only got to go back to the new one when I got a new computer (and the cookies were gone). I even called them and asked them to switch me back and they said they couldn't.

Jay&Marissa · September 2009

Donna--you sound like a commercial, what a beautiful description of an immersion blender! I, too, like making creamy vegetable soups. Right now, my only blender is a "fake magic bullet"--not conducive to soup.

smileysara2008 · September 2009

Boo! Oh well, I guess I've *kind of* become used to it.

prlmrg08 · September 2009

Strep throat sucks... especially being pregnant. I dont even know where I got stupid strep. ugh

Donnaaries · September 2009

Marissa, LOL, I get a little, just a little, excited about kitchen tools.

juliebug1997 · September 2009

Ballet Bride Allison, Where are you doing your observation at? That was a fun time for me. I met Mr. Hiney. He told the sixth grade girls he taught that they could put some dollar bills in his g-string. Ooogy.

Jay&Marissa · September 2009

plrmgr08 Feel better!Donna--me too!

juliebug1997 · September 2009

I just had a newspaper student come try to interview me about a club I sponsor. She never introduced herself. She just said, "I'm with journalism or something."

tnickel06 · September 2009

Lubbock is finally going to start selling alchohol in the city limits tomorrow and I am excited. No more driving out of town to get some, now I can go to the store that is less than 5 minutes from campus

kris928 · September 2009

Ugh...FI has a HUGE family and I have just been informed that my Saturdays for the next 6 weeks are booked...birthday parties and baby showers. How fun.

Mariah&Steven · September 2009

Just got word back that the seller is agreeing to everything in our amendment for the repairs! I should have the executed amendment back in my hands! Yay!!!!! One more step down to having my first home!

Tiffany618 · September 2009

amber&richard05 · September 2009

Congrats Mariah!! Meagan get well!

BalletBride620 · September 2009

Yay Mariah!Juliebug, I'll be at Denton Ryan HS.

shandars · September 2009

Congrats Mariah! I can't wait to see photos of your new home! I am going with a friend that I have had since 2nd grade to see Cloudy with a chance of meatballs tomorrow. That was our favorite book in second grade, so we feel it is only appropriate that we go see the movie!

BalletBride -- I bet you anything I know the person you're shadowing...is it Cassie? and/or Whitney?

BalletBride620 · September 2009

LOL yes it is Cassie. Except the only problem is she only teaches drill team and spanish, not dance. Drill team is almost completely student (officer) led, and she was worried I may not get all that I can out of observing. I'm going to talk with the Educ. dept and see if I can observe her class and the dance class.

juliebug1997 · September 2009

BBAllison,I hope you can get approved for the dance part. I regret not being able to observe a foreign language class during that part of my training. Congratulations, Mariah!!!!

fallbride1109 · September 2009

Mariah, congratulations, that's great.We are officially under 150 for the wedding. Hallelujah.

cherrrylll · September 2009

Has anyone ever been to the Greek Food Festival in Dallas? Is it worth it? Thinking about checking it out this weekend...

juliebug1997 · September 2009

Cheryl, I've never been but I've heard really great things.

fallbride1109 · September 2009

I've been before but not in awhile. In past years it was always hot. The food is good but the lines are long and it's crowded. The only reason to really go is the food.
