Mango Curtains and Margaritas.
1. It’s hard to write a blog entry.
When a dog insists on standing on you and staring at you.
2. I ate a mango today. For some reason, I decided I would just peel it and eat it off of the pit. Except, this wasn’t a small champagne mango. This was one of those big ass mangoes that white people buy because it is red and orange and pretty.
Dude. This was a mistake.
When I was done, it was like someone had put privacy curtains between each of my teeth.
3. I saw my parents and their new $600 blender yesterday. My mother gave me their throw-away $300 blender. I had to ask.
I said, “Mom, what the hell are you two blending that you need that machine?”
Because the only thing I’ve seen them use the thing for is fruit smoothies.
My mom said, “It makes awesome margaritas!”
I said, “Mom, you don’t drink.”
“I might start.”
Now, really, my mother does occasionally drink but pretty rarely. I said, “You have maybe two margaritas a year.”
My father grunted and said, “Those are three hundred dollar margaritas.”
Happy father’s day!

I don’t drink, either…but I’d also consider starting if I owned a $600 blender. Dang…

Tell your parents I’m comin’ over cuz I’ve never had $300 margaritas. I don’t like the six dollar ones, but maybe theirs are more my style.

Mmmm… margaritas…
And how in the hell did you eat a giant mango like that without it slipping out of your hands?!

@CBG – how ‘about it. We could grind up a steak and potato before we knocked back a beer.
@Vinomom – that comment made me laugh out loud.
@Sandra – Mmhmm. *wry look*
@Linda – heh. Why am I not surprised?
@QTMama – HA.
@T – I peeled parts of it at a time. I held a part that wasn’t peeled. By the end, however, it was just a generally messy affair.

Maybe it doubles as a woodchipper? I am picturing a particular scene from Fargo….

You’re mom is fantastic, and I think she deserves $300 Margaritas for putting up with you!
I jest… You can’t be that bad… can you?

I missed some good blogging while I was away. I like the giant pretty mangos, and I eat them like apples, peel and all…but dental floss afterward is a must. Mangos are sexy because they’re texturally similar to um…girlie parts. Every time I tell a guy that, he a) gets a goofy grin on his face and then b) runs out to purchase mangos.
