What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Yes!!! I will have to hide it better for now on. All I can say is thank goodness she's a kitten because I don't think I could do it by myself if she was a full grown adult cat. My older cat....there is no way I could give him medicine by myself. Tried it, but ended up having to take him to the vet to have it administered. He gets hysterical and I just can't hold him down with one hand and give him medicine with the other. It requires two hands just to hold him down! LOL

The shoes is by Hey Dude. I had never heard of them, but a friend told me about them and they have so many cute styles and colors and oh so comfy! I love them because they are slip ons and you don't have to worry about those pesky shoe laces!

Love the kitty and shoes! I wish my feet were not so big so I could find cute shoes like those!

Thanks! Oh trust me I understand the feet issue. I have wide feet and such a high instep so it's so hard for me to find cute shoes! Most of my shoes have to be wide width or they just won't fit. These aren't wide widths, but I don't know if they are just made wider or what, but they fit super well and are very comfortable!

It sounds like you are trying the Built bars! I tried them last year after someone here (Erin I think) had them on their menu. They are tasty, I keep them in the fridge. I tried keeping them in the freezer but they get really chewy then, like a Charleston chew kind of chewy. They just did a reformulation so I'm hoping the news ones are as good. (My favorite has been the salted caramel).

Yes! Those are the ones! I'm excited to try them! So many yummy sounding flavors!! I hope I like them. I have been buying the pure protein bars and while I love the chocolate chip and the peanut butter chocolate flavors, I'm looking for something with a little less calories. So figured I'd give these a try.

Good morning y'all. I'm so damn glad it's Friday.

QOTD - I grew up in a household where there were strict rules when it was convenient. It was either structure or chaos. No in between.

Breakfast - fasting, so hot black coffee and cold topo chico

Lunch - vegan cheese on toast, with vegan mayo, lettuce tomato. Veggie soup, fritos.

Snack - Yogurt with chia seeds, or fruit smoothie with oat milk, frozen fruit, hemp seed protein and chia seeds

Dinner - Vegan pizza

Here's a couple of fun pictures of my African Cichlids. I think they love their new rocks!

Anyone who can keep beautiful fish like that has my total admiration. I love to look at them, but the care involved would overwhelm me. How big is your tank and what type of care does it require?

Oh no, I am super new to this! Currently we have 5 African cichlids in the bedroom tank, it's 20 gallons. They are freshwater fish. If you're interested, HIGHLY recommend them. They are fun to watch, they spit rocks at each other, I mean they are SO much fun. I never would have had an opportunity to have them if we weren't working from home right now. My husband was reluctant (in a former life, he had multiple 55 gallon tanks) but we have been so happy with these guys. They are all named after characters from the office. Seriously NO where near as much work as you would think. Once you get them set up, aside from feeding daily and cleaning/changing water bi-weekly, you really just get to enjoy them. Downstairs, we have a 30 gallon tank with 21 fish, including gourami, platys, orange sunshine guppies, blue gold guppies, a pleco, and a SNAIL named Apple.

Again, these are all fresh water fish (I don't know that I would ever want to do a sal****er tank) so they are pretty hardy. It really is so beautiful and relaxing to sit and watch the fish.

The couple where I go to get my nails done have two huge sal****er tanks. I love watching the fish. They had problems with the roof this summer. He was so busy with the roof that he got behind on taking care of the tanks and several of the fish died. Everyone felt so bad.

Spitting rocks at each other would be fun to watch. Naming the snail is so cute. I think it is wonderful that you do this.

Oh.... I name everything.

I've always personified things so that it doesn't feel weird when I talk to them.
