Paper Shuffling, Purple Sipping

livingdebI finally did a yucky thing today: I turned a foot-high pile of papers into a 3-inch-high pile of papers. All the other papers are in the exact right place (mostly the recycling bin).
And the remaining papers are sorted into categories. For each category, I can go through both what's in the pile and what's put away and decide how best to organize it all so that everything has a good place and so that I get rid of more things I won't even use.
It's hard to remember while I'm sorting some things that normally I just go to the internet for that sort of information. And it's hard to remember while I'm researching that I have already collected awesome information in my files. So I will continue to work on getting a grip on these issues.

In other news, I accidentally made a delicious breakfast drink. I'm calling it a breakfast drink instead of a smoothie because it has ice cream in it. But I'm not calling it a milkshake because it has fruit in it. And not just a banana, but also berries.
By "accidentally," I mean first that the whole reason I even made it is because I had a banana going overly soft and black that I needed to get rid of. Then I also threw in some frozen berries (mostly raspberries, but one or two strawberries) because that's what I bought them for and they are good for me. Finally I also threw in random yummy things plus milk to make it liquidy.
Yummy Breakfast Drink
1 extremely ripe banana
~3/4 cup frozen mixed berries
~1 tablespoon sugar
~1/3 cup vanilla ice cream
~2 tablespoons peanut butter
~1 cup milk
(no chocolate or cocoa at all--shocking; also no spices this time)
Add all ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.
It won't quite fit into one glass, but if your taste buds are like mine (and my condolences if they are), you will be glad. It's not very thick, but it's nice and cold.
I don't know how something such a dark purple could taste so good. Usually my breakfast drink creations are too fruity and not yummy enough, though drinkable. And I don't know why peanut butter and raspberries taste good together--I was pretty sure that wasn't going to work out at all.
