Have you ever been that groggy?

Look Before You Blend
Have you ever been so groggy, because you were supposed to wake up at 6:00 am for a 6:30 am bike ride but you turned your alarm off in your sleep (partly due to the fact that you were so excited about an early morning bike ride that you kept waking up through out the night) and your friend who showed up at 6:30 am had to finally at 6:40 am come in your room and wake you up, that you stumble in to the kitchen to quickly make the protein shake that you had set all the ingredients out the night before but can't find the plastic insert to the top of your blender and you're in a hurry (because you're supposed to ride down and meet up with two others from your group and be at the confluence by 7:00 am) so you decide to just cover your hand over the gape in the lid of the blender and once you turn it on it is really making an obnoxious grinding noise (and you think, wow, that ice in the shake is tough and you wonder if you made the right decision to not get the new blender at Costco yesterday because you decided your old blender/food processor, which your mom gave you and is from the 70's, is still working and you don't want to needlessly consume) and so once the shake is blended you pour it into two cups, one for you and your friend, and you shortly realize that you are drinking shards of blended plastic and your friend accuses you of trying to kill him (Namanny) and you realize that inside the blender is where the missing plastic part to the lid was, why didn't you think to look there, but you can't worry about that or even nutrition at this point because your other two friends are relying on you to be at the confluence on time so you rush off on your bike spitting plastic out of your mouth thinking that now you really like your old 70's Moulinex blender/food processor even though it is the ugliest piece of equipment in your kitchen and the plastic is yellowing but you highly doubt you can find a replacement piece and may actually have to go to Costco and spend the money to buy the new one?

I thought I was the only one trying to kill Namanny!
Once on New Year's Eve I put a glass in the ice maker bin of my freezer to really chill it but forgot it was there. The glass then got mixed in with the ice and was eventually sent out with my crushed ice from the freezer door. So yeah, one morning I served juice with ice and shards of glass to a group of little girls that had stayed over. Thank God one of them spotted glass in the juice before they all drank anything.
Come to my house some morning for a bike ride please. We can make plastic pancakes.
I will survive.
Can we have glass juice with our plastic pancakes?
(We can concoct something extra special for Namanny. Something he won't be able to get away from this time. . .[insert evil laugh, andreally drag it out good]).
