BlenderOur first kitchen appliance! We have purchased a Hamilton Beach Intrigue Blue Blender, and it’s awesome. Our blender straight from the HSN warehouse (with a discount of course) arrived at our condo yesterday. The color is awesome and it’s really nice. Lots of room to mix lots of drinks, in fact its 48oz Glass Jar, with stainless steel ice crushing blades, comes with a two speed dial and pulse knob. It’s fantastic. Last night we made our first drink, a Pina Colada. We used the recipe of 2 parts coconut rum, 1 can of pineapple juice (click link for can size), 2 parts coconut milk, and ice. We have been searching for some good recipes and I think I have found some on the Hamilton beach website. If you know of any good ones please comment. For now it’s drink time!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I know it is a little late, in fact just one day late. Hope all is well for everyone out there. Much happened at the Farrell house this week/weekend. The whole family came in on Thursday, Mom and Dad, Nick, and Brian, Allison and the new addition to the Farrell family Davis. Thursday I went over to Jen’s house to have Thanksgiving dinner with her family and then later that night we both went over to my uncle’s house for a large dinner, desserts, and photo sessions. It was family picture time since everyone was in under one roof. That doesn’t happen much anymore. Those pictures will come as soon as I can get a place to download and post them. Today is Black Friday and I think I’m just going to sit around and maybe do some computer stuff. I have not been feeling that great the past couple of days so I need to just rest up so I’m at the top of my game for work on Monday. Not sure how this cold got me, but a part of it may have been caused by the cold and snowy weather that has arrived in good old Central New York. Other than that its been a full weekend, full of good food and UNO.

Another One Bites the Dust

12:01A.M. and I was just getting home from my slow pitch softball game. Now its 8:20ish the next day and I have been at work for just over 1 hour. Let me tell you, I am one tired person. Last night I went to the bar for about one hour, just before our game which started at 10:15P.M. The game started on time but we dragged it out with lots of runs and stranded base runners. It was a pretty good game even though we lost. During the day I was told that I might have to pitch but when it was game time I was to be found in center field. Nothing was hit to me except for some grounders. Had one god hit to third and one Strike out but didn’t score on any hits. Looks like I’ll be buying the first pitcher of beer next game for going down swinging.

This weekend I am going to head home to do some landscape work with my father and celebrate his birthday. I know that both my brothers want to see my new car so I might have to do some driving this weekend. Next week maybe…I can make it to Ikea with Brian and Allison, but that’s a big maybe. However before any of that can be done, Today is Laundry Day!
