Protein Pancakes Win Every time

2 Aug

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 Sad smile 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 SmileIMG_6685 (800x600)

Dessert was yogurt and granola. The yogurt was gross, but the granola was fantastic. Kinda evens out, right? (Not really.)IMG_6687 (800x600)

Dinner #2 was unpictured. So, I’ll let it remain a mystery Smile

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 SmileIMG_6692 (800x533)

The $$$ shot Winking smileIMG_6696 (800x533)

I was a complete mess yesterday and walked around with a shark fin for  most of the day. See it on the side? IMG_6678 (600x800)

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.  tiger-shark(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!

    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.

    I end up with the shark tail when I fall asleep in the car and my head leans back on the seat.

    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.

    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!! 😀

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. 🙂

    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!
