Lu, texting me from school this morning regarding other teenagers:

Lu: I hate people who think their life is so hard. They don't know what a hard life is. Maybe i don't hate them. Maybe i pity and envy them at the same time.

Orange Juice-i-us

Feel like drinking a creamy Orange Julius? Here's my homemade version. My family likes my tweaks better than the original. :)

Suz's Orange Juice-i-us

1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup powdered milk
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 tsp. coconut extract
10-20 ice cubes

Add all ingredients, except ice cubes, into a blender. Mix until combined. Add in ice cubes one at a time until desired consistency is reached. Makes 4 to 4 1/2 cups of drink, depending on amount of ice used.

Lu: Wanna know the weirdest part? I don't have to bend over to get a drink
Me: LOL. That's because it's an old school, before ADA laws required the fountains to be lowered for wheelchair access. :)
Lu: Oh i thought it was because its a high school :) haha
