Fact #1: It’s not Friday.
But it’s my Friday. Okay, I work tomorrow, but I get to do so remotely while I house-sit in isolated hermit-like goodness.
Fact #2: My parents are pretty cool. For parents.
Although I sometimes have to spend an hour explaining the difference between “real Internet” and “phone Internet” to them, other times (like this morning) I have to wake up at 3am to take them to the airport. So they can jet to Ecuador and spend two weeks motorcycling around the country. I couldn’t talk them into a sidecar, but at least I get to scoot around in their Mini. That’s almost like international travel.
Fact #3: I’m considerably less cool than my parents.
I requested that my mom knit me a vest with a moose on it. She knit me a vest with a moose on it. I am wearing at my place of employment right now. Moose-tastic.
Fact #4: I love my chickens.
But they seriously need to get down to egg-laying business, or I am going to have to revise that statement.
Fact #5: New food is fun.
I tried a single serve pack of Olympian Labs chocolate pea protein and then immediately had to buy a whole tub. It arrived yesterday–just in time to make Alexandra’s amazing Frozen Protein Pudding. Holy. Cow. (Moose?)
Facts from your life? Try a new food recently?
Don’t do that to me! I was freaking out that I missed a whole day!
Just keeping you on your toes
HAHAHA I Love your moose vest!!!!! This literally made my day. And your parents are clearly cool.
Oh man, just think made my day is WEARING it. This is an official “guaranteed good and/or ridiculous day” sort of clothing item.
That vest is the best! The moose has incredible detail
Love the shirt, I mean I consider that cool. I always love when I get to work remotely, it feels like a day off even when it really isn’t
There’s something about the change of pace! I mean, I usually actually get MORE done than when I’m in the office, but it still seems like a break.
I got your blog post in my email and I was like WAIT what Friday? haha I am waiting on furniture so that really awakened me. Thanks for sharing your Pea Protein I love trying new ones and may have to pick that one up
Love and Shine CourtStar
Haha, I’m throwing myself off with the title too. Gotta remember I DO actually have to work tomorrow, even if I’m just in a different location
Okay so umm basically that moose vest is freaking amazing, your parents are freaking amazing, and your version of the pudding looks freaking amazing!!! This post totally made my day!! Although now I wish it was Friday haha
Haha, it’s okay – my parents are way cooler than me too.
Today definitely needs to be Friday- this week is moving at snail’s pace! Love that vest – too cute. Have you tried Sunwarrior? Price aside, it’s so yummy…not sickly sweet/artificial tasting like other protein powders!
I have a bag of vanilla Sun Warrior–and I have to admit that…oh, about to commit a health-blogger travesty…I think it’s okay. But it’s definitely not something I’ll continue to shell out the money for. Plant Fusion is definitely my favorite right now, but this pea protein is a close second, Both have a good balance of flavor/sweetness, have great texture and great stats.
“health-blogger travesty”…hahah LOVE IT! I feel the same every time I say that I rather eat cheese than nutritional yeast!
Haha, I love how there are just the golden blogging rules involving the foods you’re just supposed to LOVE and rave about no matter what
We need a day for everyone to break the blogging “favorites,” and we can all post about the super-healthy-foods we just don’t like 
So if your parents are cooler than you, but then proceed to knit you a moose vest, doesn’t that technically lower their cool points? Or is it extra cool points that they would fulfills such a request? I’m far too logical this morning.
So jealous of their Ecuador trip!
Only the coolest of parents simply roll their eyes and help their children move forward in their un-cool, socially-awkward ways
And yeah, I’m just a smidge jealous too…
It sounds like your chickens aren’t earning their keep! Shane on them. Awesome to have cool parents! I think mine are pretty cool too.
My sister loves Moose (Meese?!?) She would love that vest…it’s adorable! Motorcycling in Ecuador?! Wow…that’s adventurous!
I have an aunt with a moose-themed house, I’m going to have to NOT wear this vest around her or it’ll probably disappear
And I hope I’m even half as bold as my parents after I retire!
Good morning from where it is Friday! Have a super time house sitting
oooh, could I PAY your mom to make me one?? I want a moose vest! JUST like yours!
your parents ARE cool… I spent time in Ecuador in college, but more by canoe than motorcycle…
You totally could, she’s always asking for knitting project ideas to keep her busy/awake during sports on TV
And oh my gosh, I want to hear about this Ecuador journey of yours! Have you ever posted about it?
I can’t believe your mum and dad are motorbiking round Ecuador, that’s so cool! And how good is your mum at knitting, that vest is immense!
Have a good weekend house-sitting – and hope the chickens get their act together
I’m always jealous of her skills, she can make amazing sweaters and all the really detailed/long projects I have absolutely no patience for. And those chickens better…I don’t really have any consequences for them, they’ll just have to live knowing I’m VERY disappointed in them ;D
You won’t be angry… you’ll just be disappointed
(I need italics to convey exactly how my mum used to say it!)
Your mom is one talented lady, such a cool vest.
Haha I wouldn’t say that my parents are particularly cool but I’m definitely not either, Tom and my sister are always making fun of me for not being at all savvy
Love the new sweater! And you know I love your chickens
Hope you have a great weekend lovely!
Okay, I LOVE that sweater vest–completely serious. I am a huge fan of sweaters with animals on them! Lately, I tried cottage cheese with a sweet berry jam and am really enjoying the flavor combo. Neither is a “new” food, but the combo is!
