The Evil Blender

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9

Who me?  My heart deceitful?  Really?

My blender was on the fritz and I just happed to see an advertisement for the most magnificent Blender ever on TV one morning while was working out at the gym.  Hmmmm…..that blender does everything but the dishes!  So I began my devious plan…..
I had convinced myself that I could make the fabulous “power” drinks with this awesome blender. It would be so healthy and maybe it would help me to loose a few pounds I thought to myself.  Why you could even make fresh soup with it and it would be heated to boot! 
Just watching all those veggies and fruits going and whalla a delicious drink. So I was sold. But the price was ridiculous, something like over $200!  So I still needed a blender but I could not bring myself to consider one that expensive.  BUT then there is always eBay………….
So, my wonderful husband found me a blender exactly like that one for a fraction of the cost.  Actually it cost me no more than getting a replacement average blender like the one I had.  So I was so excited.  When it arrived…………..
Did I immediately shove spinach leaves, tomatoes, apples and carrots down it’s throat?  Why no………..immediately my heart began to convince me with this powerful machine I could make the most awesome blueberry shakes with the blueberries we had picked in the summer and the fresh cream from the cow.  In just a push of the button it was a dream come true.  I have never seen it work like that and it was so frosty like………….hummm……..
I wonder if i could make my own Java Chiller/frappe?  I made the coffee and put some creamer, caramel, and chocolate syrup, so ice cubes and put it in the freezer to chill.  I got out the ice cream, the ice, the chilled coffee.  Got all the yummy ingredients into the blender hit the on button and in less than an nano instant java “killer” was ALL over the place……..
Something had gone wrong and it had leaked all out the bottom and was melting fast.  I lifted the container only to have more pour out.  What a mess, I duped it in to the sink.  Humph!  I was not chilled nor thrilled with this turn of events!  I cleaned up the offensive container and examined it over.  I could not figure out the problem so I put every thing back together best I could and tried again.  Same thing…………….! UHG! What is the deal!  This is such a sticky mess!  So finally hand stirred the contents left and drank it.  It was delicious, I drank it all the while  this “possessed” machine stared at me.  I turned my back to it, not even wanting to look at it while I sucked down the last bit.  later………
I went to clean up the kitchen and clear the counters.  I picked up my fabulous blender and in the process I leaned it forward and sweet coffee pour out all over me, the counter, down into the cabinets, between my toes.  It was like the flood gates had been released and the yummy liquid came rushing at me.  I was so shocked I could barely move…………..
I put the offensive blender base, vent side down in the sink just incase there was any more liquid in the thing.  I wanted out of there.  After soaking several towels and heading to the shower myself………
What a blunder of a day…….did I ever use it for the “reason” my heart said to buy it?  Have I yet made a power drink??  No……….but it is interesting that I immediately thought of two shakes that my heart would love to have and managed to try both back to back…………interesting………..

The things our hearts deceive us about are limitless.

  So lesson learned:

Never Trust my Heart!

(I was going to put a picture---but it was a mess!)
