Product Review and Something Else...Read On!

Before I get into this review I must gripe about something. My computer is broken AGAIN! Yes, it is. Apparently, it's the motherboard causing the problems not my hardrive. Grr. So I don't know when I'll have my own computer again but thankfully, Sam's got his I can use. I just don't like using other people's stuff especially the computer because sometimes I like to spend a lot of time on it. hee hee! Okay, that's out of the way now on to my product review. What's the product I'm reviewing you ask? Well, I'm going to give you my review of the Vita-Mix 5200 ! We currently have the 5000 model but had been eyeing this upgraded version when we first saw it.

In fact, on my vacation I had intentions of learning how to knit and/or crochet. I went out and bought all kinds of yarn and the basic tools but yeah....that stuff is still in the bag.

The belly pic that really shows it off is also the least flattering so you won't be seeing that one. You know how it goes. :D And yes, we got RockBand2. It's so fun! How about this instead? I'll work on a better baby bump pic - one I can live with. :)
