Blendz Addiction

So I was doing some figuring...

I generally workout 5 times a week. Let's say I get shakes roughly 4 days out of 5. A typical shake, once you've added the cost of the extra scoop of protein I get, costs $6.00 (give or take a few pennies).

That's $24.00 a week. Not bad.

$96.00 a month. The approximate cost of a month's cable and TiVo combined.

Or $1,200.00 a year (this is based on 50 weeks since I usually take a couple of weeks off).

In real terms this is the equivalent of 4 car payments, 2 months rent (yeah it's cheap), or 219 Star Wars action figures (and BTW people The 40 Year Old Virgin made a mint off of his "dolls", so could I... eventually... maybe... I do have the ComicCon exclusive Werewolf Oz).

But yes, if I continue like so, I will be spending $1,200.00 a year on PROTEIN SHAKES.

(Damn you Julie at Gold's for getting me addicted! And damn the Mocha Meltdown for being so bloody good!)

Now that's just crazy!

Unless, of course I end up looking like this...

I thought I was the only one hoping my collectibles would mint my retirement. That Werewolf Oz should at least cover a month's rent when you're old and gray...

It's a Buffy the Vampire reference, Tos. :)

Don't feel bad about spending that much on protein shakes. There are far more worse things you could be doing with your money!

Sounds like they would be even better with a shot of whiskey.

Tos, the fact you know who Sabrina the teenage witch is is a start.

Keep clicking my links and you'll be up with all these pop culture references in no time!

Matthew darling b/c of you I actually was able to speak intelligently about Battle of the Reality Stars (ok semi-intelligently considering the show...) and yes (sigh) since the bf has cable we actually watched BNRS before it got confusing and kinda boring... I do like that Celebrity Fit Club tho!

Your blog makes a positive impact in my life... but if you think I'm going to start playing with dolls....er action figures... no way :-P
