Congratulations all, you have come across a FiveBlondes exclusive post. No one in my crazy family knows about this, only one or two friends. I, Lauren, have decided to (try) to become a vegetarian. I know, I know, I live on a pig farm, but I’ve decided it would be a good challenge for the summer.
Speaking of summer challenges, I’ve come up with a list of things I want to accomplish this summer. Here it is:
- Knit socks, slippers, or mitts. With help from Oma of course
- Try to eat vegetarian
- Exercise more. This going along with numero uno, just trying to make myself healthier.
- Bake a themed cake. There is a story along with this one. For Christmas Ericas fiance D got a cookbook, and I was looking through it and saw these awesome cakes shaped as all different things, so I want to bake one of those. Maybe for my birthday…
- Learn how to drive “the pig bus”. Long story short, we have a school bus (painted) that we drive the pigs to the end of the driveway to get put on a truck, and I want to learn how to drive it. I don’t know why, I just sort of thought of it one day and decided I wanted to learn. Unfortunately this picture is not ours, but don’t you think we should paint/decorate it like this?
Luckily, our cafeteria at school has a great vegetarian/vegan menu, and an all over great cafeteria, so it shouldn’t be too hard…until I get home that is. It’s been two days and I have so far succeeded!
SCANDAL!
So you’re turning a vegan, huh? I guess its a good way of testing one’s self-control. Good luck with it! Indian cuisine has hordes of vegan dishes. Maybe you should give it a try.

One el problemo- I do not cook vegetarian! I guess you better learn to like cabbage and veggie stir fry!
Driving the pig bus – certainly you can! It is even an automatic!
Themed cake- um…doesn’t this go against the eat healthy thing? HEy you would be proud-I made Rosie and Louie a carrot cake for their birthday!! Themed cake- reminds me that you and Kate have to take a cake decorating course this summer.

Yes we do need to take a cake decorationg course.
I am ok with you ‘trying’ to be vegetarian. BUT you are not allowed to join PETA, those people are crazy.
Kate’s last blog post..PETA?
PETA is People For the Eating of Tasty Animals. Be sure to get your protein elsewhere sunshine, very important for muscles.
Also, like to take this opportunity to thank Erica for the kind words during my tornado crisis.
I can’t leave without mentioning how slick it is to visit a blog by five beautiful blond sisters! I’m not worthy.

I have muscles! Also I love the fact that you just used the word “slick”. That’s a great word.
Lauren’s last blog post..PETA?
I’m delighted to say that I’m with you! Well, in the fact me family also has an Oma. Give up meat? Until they can make bacon outta celery – no way! I actually do commend you, but cannot join you. cheers!
Very nice bus..haha.
I just found your blog via Dooce and I think this is hilarious. Everything from the pig bus to going vegetarian on a pig far. I can’t wait to read more!!
