Sorry I was MIA last night. Ben and I got a letter from a scary government office that required extensive research, paper pushing and freaking out. That’s all I can say for now God help us.
I realized that I had 2 dinners yesterday! Dinner #1 was eaten before my 6pm client. It was leftovers from Sunday night with an egg on top. I was craving an over easy egg like crazy! It was extra delicious because of that
Dessert was yogurt and granola. The yogurt was gross, but the granola was fantastic. Kinda evens out, right? (Not really.)
Dinner #2 was unpictured. So, I’ll let it remain a mystery
This morning involved more stress about above mentioned letter. I finally went on my run but halfway through had to make a call to set up an appointment. That led to another call and I ended up walking most of the second half. Oh well. At least we have an appointment to get more info now.
Back home I distracted myself with an amazing batch of pancakes
I was a complete mess yesterday and walked around with a shark fin for most of the day. See it on the side?
Do you call a piece of hair sticking out of your pony tail a “shark fin” too? Mean girls in HS used to pull each other’s hair out and yell, “Shark Fin!” And that’s how I learned it. (nataliedee.com)
Question: Got a shark fin? Eaten shark? Had a dream that you’ve been eaten by a shark?
I always have shark fins. Just call me a tiger shark!
Sarah says
We called them dinosaur bumps i think.. I like shark fin better! Boo to scary letters!
Bee @ B*tchy Bee says
It is shark week (yeah discovery channel!!!), so that is a perfect description of your hair! 🙂
Kaye says
Get sharkfins ALL THE TIME! Especially when I try to put my hair up all ninja like in the middle of Zumba!
I’ve eaten shark fin….in soup….it’s really good. But this was a while ago, before murdering sharks was a big deal.
Lauren says
Hope everything is okay. Thinking of you!!
Sarah @ Food and Love Diaries says
Haha, I’ve never heard it being referred to as a shark fin… but i DO hope everything works out with the letter.
Alaina says
Hope everything is alright for you and Ben!
I end up with the shark tail when I fall asleep in the car and my head leans back on the seat.
rumfunandsun says
I consider myself more of a Whale Shark. Anyhoo, if you scary letter is pertaining to what I think it does, I shall begin a prayer chain stat! Scary stuff!
Amanda @FancyOatmeal says
Shark Fins like crazy after a run followed by any weights work done on the ground…I look a hot, HOOOOOT mess.
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
I’ve never heard the term shark fin for hair. that’s funny!
hope the govt is done bothering you. boohiss on them.
Hillary says
We played the shark fin game in cheerleading. except we did it on top of the head and called it rooster. SO cool. My hair is too flat/thin to sport a messy pony.
Nicole says
Yucky Yogurt? Oh no. That’s a shame!
Here’s my dessert every night (seriously – even if I go out and have dessert after dinner, I still will come home and eat this….my day doesn’t feel right without it!)
Vanilla Carbmaster Yogurt (not the flavor you got) + Spoonful of Peanut or Almond Butter. Nom nom nom! I dare you to eat just one!! 😀
runeatrepeat says
I don’t like vanilla yogurt, so I bet I would super not like it 🙁
Christin says
To quote Empire Records: “Damn the Man, save the (Monican!)” Hope everything is OK with that letter…you have a whole lotta blggers ready kick some booty if needed 🙂
Love the sharks fins…mind over matter!!!
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
Haha yep, I know all about shark fins. For some reason I had them the most during middle school, and always felt SO self-conscious about them. Good thing I am no longer in middle school.
janetha @ meals & moves says
That’s a batch I could get distracted by, too.
Becky says
ha, I really thought you were going to say you were carrying around an actual shark fin in honor of shark week. Yes, I have messy ponies all the time. It is what it is 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I made protein pancakes for dinner last night while Michael fixed a sandwich and he looked over at me and said “You had pancakes? I would have had pancakes..are they healthy?” and I happily told him they had over 30 g of protein. 😛 Definitely made him jealous! haha
runeatrepeat says
I almost had them for dinner last night too!
Mary says
I rock the shark fins all the time. 🙂
Ida says
Sounds like a stressful scenario! Hopefully the appointment will clear things up.
Megan says
Yikes! Hope your letter is less ominous than it sounds and you & Ben are done dealing with it soon!
I love idea of the Shark Fin. I’ve never had a name for those annoying little bumps of hair, and now I do. yay!
Nicole @ Giraffelegs says
hahaha I call it a shark fin too! Also when someone forgot about a piece of their hair and it was left out of the ponytail we said it was a rattail…gross, but that is kind of what it looked like.
Kids are so mean.
runeatrepeat says
Just the phrase ‘rat tail’ grosses me out…
Laura says
There was a guy that I had an uber huge crush on that when he spiked his hair he had a funny piece in the back that stood up and we called it a shark fin. That was also his code name.
runeatrepeat says
Love code names for guys!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
I get shark fins all the time and no one ever points them out except my husband (at the end of the day, when I’ve walked around all day thinking I’m cute). They’re kind of like spinach in the teeth; eople see it but never feel comfortable pointing it out.
C says
You guys are really Canadian, aren’t you? Deportation? Just kidding. I hope things end up okay- that kind of stuff usually seems so scary at first (and it seems like you always get the news after the offices are closed) but usually works out. You guys seem like pretty legit people. Good luck!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
My computer was lame and didn’t enter my name. Not that it matters, but “C” looks weird. Take care!
runeatrepeat says
If I’m being deported, it’s to Mexico 🙂
alison says
Sorry about your scary government letter. The government sure does know how to put a damper on things. I hope you get everything squared away as painlessly as possible.
I’ve never heard of a hair shark fin before; I learn something new practically every day here on Run Eat Repeat. 🙂
Megan S. says
It is Shark Week and all! I think my friends and I used to call them tacos…not sure why, shark fin seems more fitting! I did have a dream about sharks, but I think it’s because Discovery Channel sucked me in with their crazy shows in the evening/night
Hope everything will work out with this scary letter you got!
chloe @ 321delish says
im planning on making Mako shark skewers for dinner.
Amy says
glad you said that carb yogurt tasted bad thats totally something i would have tried!
i havent had any weird dreams about sharks but i am lovin me some shark week this week!!
runeatrepeat says
Saying it tasted bad was me being nice!
Heather says
That Ralph’s brand carpcrap yogurt is VILE. Awful.
runeatrepeat says
I’m dumb because I bought it in the past and thought it was gross, but didn’t remember until I tasted it again yesterday 🙁 So disgusting.
Ashley C says
That’s funny you guys alll say the carbmaster yogurts nasty because anyone who tries mine says the same thing but i eat it all the time and like it lol.
girl in the pink says
LOL, your hairstyle is totally fitting considering it is Shark Week!!
What do you put in a “protein” pancake???
runeatrepeat says
It’s just my oatbran cake recipe 🙂
