Fun Facts Friday: 9/30/16
For long time ETB readers, have you all noticed how most of my posts have progressed into bullet-point format? We’ve got Confessions on Wednesdays, Things I’m Loving on Thursdays, and Fun Facts on Friday.
Basically, I love bullet points.
This weekend, I’m looking forward to Game Night with the girls and another Barre class in Knoxville. I love the weekends. But before I completely sign off until Monday, let’s do our usual Fun Facts bit below. Feel free to share a fun fact about you in the comments!
1) I went to my first conference in Tennessee yesterday.
It was in Morristown so, obviously, I jumped at the chance to go to Dunkin’ Donuts for another one of their iced coconut coffees that I’ve recently become obsessed with. The conference wasn’t very helpful. I was looking forward to learning about how to implement reading strategies in the classroom. But, aside from the keynote speaker, I felt like I didn’t walk away with anything tangible. It was nice to be able to connect with the other special education teachers from my school though!
2) After step class, the girls (and Jax!) came over for dinner.
These weekly dinners have kept me mentally sane. These ladies + Jax are such a support for me – whether I need someone to vent to, hug, eat dinner with, or drink wine with. They make me feel the happiest.
3) Every once in a while, a family member will share old pictures on our Whatsapp chat.
This is the most recent one that was shared. Yes, that’s me. Yes, I’m JUST THE CUTEST. (Also, I am still the proud owner of those big ol’ cheeks).
4) Trader Joes now has Sriracha tofu.
I always bought their teriyaki tofu to throw in my stir-fry but I think I’m going to love this even more. Anything with Sriracha is significantly better than anything without Sriracha.
5) My mom has upped her texting game.
I was impressed when she started using emojis in her text messages but she’s upgraded and is now sending us gifs all day long. She’s way cooler than me.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! See you Monday!
Questions of the Day:
- Do you eat tofu? How do you marinate it?
- What are you looking forward to this weekend?
- Share one fun fact from this past week!
I don’t care for tofu at all. I wish my Mom would text, she’s a bit older and doesn’t have an interest in texting.
I love sending gifs!! They are the best! My husband and I will go back and forth sending gifs and I find myself literally laughing out loud.
Awwww! You were such a cute kid. What a sweet photo. 🙂 Your mom is too funny! lol. My mom is all about sending me cartoon memes too. They make me smile.
I need to check out the Whatsapp app. I haven’t yet! Cute photo of you.
I’d try that tofu. I love spicy things. And I love Trader Joe’s!
I do not eat tofu–I have tried it a couple of times and it just does not appeal to me. On Sunday I will be picking up my cousin and my Mom and driving up to a friends for dinner. It is always nice to soend the New Year with those closest to you.
Good on your mom for texting, that is great, and Jax is so cute!
Thanks for sharing! It’s so cool to get a little insight into your life. Love it!
Your mum is awesome. I think it is great that she is using emojis and gifs. Fantastic!
I cannot get over your adorable dog! Tofu is an acquired taste and I don’t mind it in some meals!
I have heard alot of good stuff about what’s app and the features but haven’t tried that yet. I love Sriracha tofu that’s one of my favorites
That tofu sounds so good! I love spicey foods so I will be checking that out really soon!
That tofu sounds great! This weekend I’m looking forward to finishing work early on Saturday!

I just love Tennessee and dogs. For the most part I like tofu too just don’t know if I can take it so spicy. Lol.
I’m going to my very-first-conference-ever this coming Friday AND I’m taking my newborn. Wish me luck- I think I’m going to need it. Looks like another great week for you- I love catching up on all of your doings.
Hope you enjoyed your conference. I am a single mom so I don’t get to travel much and definitely don’t get to attend conferences.
Ohhh, I’ve got to try that tofu. I like to stir fry it or bake it. So nice when it’s already flavored for you.
As a mostly vegetarian household, tofu is a big part of our diet. Yes, I’ve tried that Trader Joe’s flavor.
Also, I loved the childhood photo and your mom’s texting made me laugh out loud!
The Siracha tofu sounds interesting! Next time I’m in Trader Joes I’m going to look for it.
I love tofu and that Sriracha flavored baked tofu from Trader Joe’s looks delicious. I have to get some and have it with some grilled pork chops. Thanks for letting me know about the new flavor.
Sounds like quite the interesting week! Moms are so funny with texting and social media. Glad you found a yummy new tofu flavor- I’ve never had it.
How can this doggy be so cute 🙂 Sharing little insights of each other’s life is just so easy with social media these days. A fun way to just update the other one a little 🙂

Sissy! You cut me out of the old school photo. I’m watching you. <3
