Green Monster Mess

(I almost called this post “crimped hair is cool” — you’ll see why if you read on!)

Wow, it seems like a lot of people have either tried a vegan lifestyle or think I should try one…surprisingly, the one person I thought might be apprehensive — Lucas — just shrugged his shoulders when I asked him what he thought, and said “we’re practically vegetarian already!”

I think he knows he wouldn’t have to give up his most prized possession:

Oops, I mean:

I’ve never asked Lucas whether he’d save me or his beer if the house caught on fire. I don’t think I want to know the answer. I’ve asked him whether he’d choose me or the dogs and he’s told me, “you have hands, you can open the door — the puppies can’t!”

Harumph.

So, when life gives you lemons green monster messes inside your bag:

You say, “screw you, Amazing Grass, I’m going back to my true love” and then you make this:

Foamy goodness. High on caffeine, you go outside to watch a rocket launch. Ho-hum.

Then you create a heavenly lunch dessert. Yeah, it’s the new course and all the cool kids are eatin’ it.

Apples + chocolate pudding = happy girl.

I thought my braid looked pretty cute today…until I took it out. I actually have a better (?) picture than this, but I love how weird Junior looks in the background.

Hey, if ya have a moment…check out this video that Lucas submitted for a dream job contest. If you follow his blog, you know that he recently resigned from the architecture firm that he’s worked at for more than five years, to try and figure out what he really wants to do in life. He’s either brave or crazy, but since we’re both approaching the (ahem) big 3-0, we agree he needs to take some time to chase his dreams now, right?

Hope you like it.
