I’m obsessed with making iced coffee drinks in the summer. Well, just this summer. I’ve never really done it before this summer. Stop saying summer. But I’m really into them now. And I’m even more into adding protein powder to it. Thankfully I have the delicious Primal Fuel in my house constantly. After long days of emails and cooking and writing and eating, this little protein mocha is the perfect pick me up!
Can we just talk about the elephant in the room? What’s up with the guy who bit the other guys shoulder during the soccer game? Who does that? Someone is in your way, you’re all jacked up on World Cup Fever and testosterone and what do you do? Shove? Na. Trip. No way, too easy. Elbow to the mouth? Too obvious. Nope, I’ll bite the guy. Nipple is too aggressive, shoulder will do. That guy has issues. May I even say mommy issues. Not sure how that relates, but I’m going to say it. And he’s done it twice before? Tool.
It’s weird seeing so many people so excited about the World Cup. Mostly because it’s soccer. I literally hear NO ONE talk about soccer, like ever. But now it’s all everyone talks about. I don’t remember people being this psycho about it 4 years ago. It feels a bit bandwagon to me. Probably because I could give two sh*ts about any sports. Negative Nancy over here. My b.
So I don’t listen to country music, it’s just not on my daily playlist. All I really listen to is some sort of dance music. In the car. In the gym. That’s really the only time I listen to music. But I had 180 beats per minute. Country doesn’t have that very often. BUT I was invited to a Jake Owen concert this weekend so I’m going to it. I have some ankle boots that kind of look like cowboy boots, so I’ll fit in, right? Right. And I’ll act like I know the words. Fake it ’til you make it.
I really miss The Office. Why couldn’t that show go on forever?

Oh man, soccer. I have never seem a sport where grown men act more childish. Biting? For real? And in one of the first games (don’t remember which one, and don’t care) one guy poked the other guy in the face, Three Stooges-style. At least in hockey they throw real punches, not this elementary-school-bully crap.
Oh man, I know I don’t really NEED one of these right now, but I definitely WANT one intensely. Yum!
And yeah, the biting is super weird. No idea what that’s about.
Oh man you crack me up Juli!
i had the exact same soccer bandwagon why is everyone into it now conversation with my sports-fanatic boyfriend last weekend… i just don’t get the hype!
this smoothie shake mocha thing looks delish… nothing better than fresh mint!
Julie,
I see where you use protein powders in a lot of your smoothies. I do not work out on the level you do, however I am always confused as to post workout drinks or foods. Do you have any suggestions as to that? Thanks so much.
Ok don’t get mad but I’m totally one of those bandwagon people. Who doesn’t love an excuse to sneak out of work to cheer and chant in unison and some how relate it all to patriotism? Oh and there are usually amazing snacks 🙂
ANYWHO to my point – this is not the first time that that player has done this. This is the THIRD time he’s bit someone during a game! THIRD TIME! Check it out: http://www.businessinsider.com/luis-suarez-biting-history-2014-6
Someone get this man a sandwich!
Mint, Iced, and coffee? I’m in!
Try doing a WOD to country music… I almost quit my current box because they thought that was okay….
I miss the office too! I recommend Brooklyn 99… it’s my new fave 🙂
This is my first time leaving a comment but your blog is the only reason I’ve been able to stick with the paleo diet for 2 years. I told my husband about The Paleo Kitchen a few months ago and said I wanted it because I wanted to support you and George as a thank you for all of your amazing free recipes. I came home today and my husband surprised me with a copy of your book! I can’t wait to try everything and the pictures are amazing!!
yay!! what a good hubby!!
