Weekend of Surprises
This weekend was filled with some random-ness. So let’s recap.
Surprise Number 1:
You know how I said I wanted a fish? Well Saturday afternoon, I walked into my bedroom to find all this:
The man-friend got me two betta fish and allllll of the necessary accessories. How cool is that? (And which is cooler, that I got fish, or that the man-friend was apparently paying attention when I was rambling about how I wanted fish?)
So this is where I need your help. I need names for these two cute girl-fishys! Ideas?
Surprise Number 2:
Saturday afternoon, we went to a movie set where they were filming a movie trailer, so if the movie ever comes out, I can tell you I was there! 😉
Wait, isn’t this a food blog? Yeah, sorry about that. Moving on.
Surprise Number 3:
Friday afternoon, I actually felt like going for a run. So I finally laced up my running shoes for the first time in 2 months? far too long
There is a sweet park near my house, and the best part is, they have little circuit stations along the way. Pull up bars, walls to scale, etc. It’s awesome, and it totally calms the attention problem that typically comes with running. I’m hoping to visit things again.
Surprise Number 4:
Eric went to our garden and said we had a lot of sweet potatoes. Which was cool, because I’m obsessed with sweet potatoes + almond butter.
But not just regular sweet potatoes. MONSTER POTATOES.
Do you see this? I put a fork next to it for perspective. Yes. It’s ginormous.
um you grew that potato!?!?! totally jealous!
Totally cool that the man-friend was paying attention! He needs to give the hubster lessons……
For names I say Basil & Prada……don’t ask me why, those two just popped in my head!
Love the hugh jass potato, can you send me one?…lol!
Haha come on over and I’ll make us some sweet potato fries 😉
I dug up a few sweet potatoes the size of my head. The only thing better than a normal sweet potato? A MONSTER sweet potato. Yeaah. And too cute about the fish! I’m bad at naming fish. My last one was named Poppletop Bopper. Yup. No GOOD surprises this weekend, and I think I’ll be ranting about the negative ones later on, I won’t make you suffer through ’em twice 😀
How about Thelma and Louise? 😉
surprises make for a great weekend! love that you got a fish. that’s awesome. and holy huge potato!
That is my kinda sweet potato!!
Very sweet surprise from the man friend!
Names? Hmmmm
I like cute names sweet potato and pumpkin… but that’s me… can’t wait to hear what you pick =)
Cute! Do the beta play nicely together? I was always told not to put two into the same bowl…
Haha, fish! That is so cool of the man friend to listen to you. I usually hate surprises but that would be really fun! I had 2 goldfish that lived for over 6 years! I hope you have fun with the fishies!

How about Turnip and Parsnip for the fish-y names?!
Ohh I love the idea of naming them vegetables!!!
Holy hell! Now THAT is a sweet potato!!
Hmm, I never was good at fish names…Thing 1 and Thing 2?? 😉
Best surprise of the weekend: My first 5K in over a month without ANY shin pain!! Yay!!
That’s great news!! I’m glad you had a good surprise!
And I like thing 1 and thing 2! Especially since for now I’ve been calling them “one fish two fish” (a la red fish blue fish)
