Worried
Friday, July 17, 2009 at 2:57PM I'm a little worried. 80 pounds of blueberries seems like a lot. It is a lot, but let's do some math. I get 4 breakfast smoothies from each bag. That's only 320 smoothies. It doesn't quite cover a year. And David drinks them on weekends. He's decided that they taste better than his Atkins Shakes (shocking, I know). So if you subtract his 104 smoothies, that leaves 216 smoothies. I need breakfast 365 days, unless it's a leap year, which will leave me without breakfast for 149 days. I know, I know, I could have something else for breakfast like oatmeal with blueberries (wait, I'd be out of berries). I could make another flavor of smoothie. I might be somewhere else for breakfast. I could put David back on Atkins although that seems cruel. And what if I wanted to make cobbler or muffins or something? What if David worked from home and wanted more than his allotted 2 per week? That 149 number is making me nervous. I could still get more berries. It's not too late. I'd need at least 37.25 bags (149 days /4). Ummmm that's another 40 pounds of blueberries. Can that be right??? Perhaps I've made an error in my calculations. Fortunately, I live with an accountant. He can sort it out.

When Connie said she wanted more blueberries, I immediately told her to get me another 10 pounds of them! I was a wimp, got ONLY 40 pounds the first time.
The other detail that Connie left out is that when she and I went to get the blueberries last week, the total count for us and our friends was 350 lbs! That's a LOT of berries!
We only got 20 lbs, Connie was right should have gotten more. I am worried we will be out by Thanksgiving!
