It’s Friday and thought I’d share a few random new things (to me) I’ve seen pop up.
Slacklining
I saw some teenagers doing this at the festival last weekend. It looks kind of cool until things don’t go right and then it just looks like a means of torture. The guys I saw couldn’t even get on the line without a death grip on a nearby tree and when they fell off, were slapped by the line. Perhaps it should be called slaplining.
These guys make it look easy.
Piecaken
I saw this from @SarahBessey on twitter yesterday and had never heard of such. You bake a pie INTO a cake. I can see Scott LOVING this for his birthday.

Italian Sodas
I’m very sure these aren’t new but they’re new to me. Don’t these Italian sodas look yummy? I think I’ve found just what to do with all those yummy strawberries while they’re still around.

Kris Allen’s Vision of Love
In case you’re like me and you don’t normally watch American Idol’s results shows, you probably missed Kris Allen’s performance of his new single. I looked up the video and the message is even better. Love the chorus. The falsetto parts remind me of Enrique Iglesias and if you know me from waayyy back in the day, that’s a very good thing.
In other new news, Scott PASSED his drug recognition school with flying colors. We’re all so excited for him and I’m most excited that he’s home. What new things or news do you have going on?
I just have to comment…. I was watching that first video clip with my 2 year old. Yes, 2 year old… He asked who that was (the guys in the video) and I told him I didn’t know. His response- “Maybe him an actor.” “An actor?” I asked, shocked he would even know that word and be able to use it in a seemingly appropriate context. “An actor,” he nods. Every day, that child amazes me- where does he come up with this stuff??? 🙂
Thanks for the fun and random post. 🙂
*love* 2 year old commentary 🙂 I wish I’d written it all down when my girls were younger.
I’m now fascinated with slacklining. One wrong move though and you’re flossing your fanny with a fire hose….
I’ve heard of piecaken, but have never seen one. I’m a fan of both, separately, but that just doesn’t look appetizing to me. Maybe it’s because all I can think when I look at that is “How many miles will I have to swim to work that off my thighs?”
Congrats to Scott!! I know y’all are thrilled to have him home. Hope you have a fun weekend!
I know what you mean about the calories in the piecaken. Seems like it’d be worth trying though. I hear it’s good.
I’m a bit concerned about the curly headed dude’s ability to father children after that routine!
I saw a Piecaken one night on Food Network. I think I want one!
And I LOVE Italian Cream Sodas! YUM!
