Against Me!

Last night we went to a sold out Against Me! show in Gainesville, FL. I have never been so drenched from a show as last night. The crowd was singing along to every word and it was absolutely nuts. Even my fingers were pruney. However, I FORGOT EARPLUGS!!! My right ear has been ringing off the hook all day. Really hope it gets better tomorrow :-/ Marc is playing a show tonight and there is NO WAY I will forget earplugs. I'm going to buy a bunch to keep in my car. Ringing ears is awful.

However, a great remedy for feeling not-so-awesome is spaghetti, covered in nutritional yeast!! I absolutely love these vegan cheesy flakes of heaven plus many brands contain B12. No 'real bread' for garlic bread? No sweat, had some hotdog buns hanging around so baked them up in the toaster oven! Just olive oil, garlic, italian seasonings, and a sprinkle of daiya. Voila!

And look! I'm wearing shorts!!!! I have been shorts-phobic for years but I'm finally breaking lose. Some awesome leopard print sure does help. Plus check out my awesome shirt from Deadworry on Etsy. They have a TON of cute shirts that are all on my birthday/christmas list. Check them out!!

Hope you're having a good week! KEEP YOUR EARS SAFE!! Remember earplugs

Food and Whatnot.

The other day I made extra meaty meatless chili. Chew on that!!



Also, here's a picture of the peanutbutter ball ingredients from a few posts back:


Note the microwave face! I really don't know what I did with all those stickers :-/

Besides my Toms boots, I have these:

and this week in the mail I received an envelope from Toms with a cute little note and a Toms bracelet to wear!

This shirt always raises a few questions:

Tofu Never Screams!

I think this was me driving to school for the first time this semester

I got that tanktop at Target and I love it, I love stripes!! and I had once bought that sweater for work but now I realize it's actually kind of cute with some outfits! I just stuck a few pins on there (shout out to the flaming tsunamis) and I was ready to go!

This is me eating on next to no money haha

Shout out to the Hello Kitty Toaster!!

Marc had bought the chicken for a pizza he made a while back so we still had some leftover! Then rice=cheap, that was the rest of the brocolli I had from the week before, I had the orange (free) from school and a big thing of baby tomatoes only cost me $1 this weekend.

We went to Homossassa flea market, a flea market in Hernando, Crystal River State Park, the Manatee festival in Crystal River, and the Crystal River Mall. I thought it was going to be REALLY nice to be outside since the weather had been gorgeous for a couple of days but I guess it rained and therefore, Saturday was PRETTY CHILLY to say the least. Since I went through the trouble of packing a lunch, we picnicked at the state park anyways:





I'm sure there's something I should be doing before work.. looking forward to having Wednesday off if my homework doesn't get in the way. Soooo much reading!

Today was one of those driving to Tampa for school days:



Not only have they adopted an awesome Meatless Mondays program:


But today they did another vegan food emphasis thang in one of the dining halls. I had:

Vegan pizza!


Mushroom Florentine Panini!


3-Bean Soup!


Chicken and Dumplings!


and, I forgot to mention how much I looove my BRIGHT RED Toms Boots, really. This late night picture does not do them justice.


Hope all is well, I have to get back to reading this for class:


Unbowed, A Memoir by Wangari Maathai (The First African Woman-and the First Environmentalist-to Win the Nobel Peace Prize)

I really want to set aside more time for creative/adventurous cooking and blogging but I always seem to be so busy!! As soon as one semester ends, another begins and I have my nose in a book, researching, my ear on the phone with an angry customer at work, trying to have SOME kind of social life/time to spend with my boyfriend, or hugging my blanket in a collapsed mess of exhaustion. but I'm trying!!!!
