Weekend Adventures

Happy Tuesday everybody!
I overslept this morning after some bizarre dreams and woke up thinking it was Wednesday. I'm kind of sad it isn't hump day...

I'm currently eating some quinoa curry at my desk on my lunch break. It's kinda sad, but at least I have a job, AMIRITE?! Anyway, this curry came out amaaaaazing. I ended up eating a lot of junky food over the weekend thanks to a lack of planning and my non-vegan family hosting a very non-vegan mother's day dinner. There was some stuff I could eat (grilled veggies, chips and guac, etc.), but I ended up indulging in soda and maybe too much chips and dip. Come Monday morning I woke up feeling like a bus ran over me. I was eager to get back on track with my eating habits. I spent a good chunk of time browsing quick vegan meals on Pinterest and eventually stumbled on this recipe. I ended up modifying it quite a bit to use ingredients I already had. Instead of garam masala I used regular curry powder (still delish, btw). I also threw in a bunch of bell peppers and left out the brown sugar since I was pretty sure a lot of what I was feeling Monday was a result of too much sugar in the first place. It only took about a half hour to make and I have enough for a few days of lunch!

I FINALLY CUT MY HAIR! It's amazing. I found a new hairstylist that I really like. She totally understood what I wanted and was happy to work with me. Total win.

A bunch of other fun/cool stuff happened over the weekend but I'm really bad at taking photos of things so I'll just keep them to myself for now. Kbye!

Confessions of a #GIRLBOSS/Saint

Image
Forgive me, Internet, for I have sinned... Okay. Confession time. My first two blog posts were made at work. I KNOW. Who am I!? I'm really not a terrible employee. I get all my work done on time and it's done correctly. It's just that sometimes there's not a lot of work to be done. So lately instead of mindlessly browsing the internet I'm trying to be a little more productive in my time spent online. Hence the start of this blog! (Disclaimer: I realize the risk of putting this information online, but I've made the commitment to be completely honest on here. While I do sometimes feel guilty for using my work time to do non-work related things, I'm not really provided with a lot of opportunities to move up or fill my time otherwise. So here we are.) Over the weekend I started reading Sophia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS and let me tell you, I'm only 50 pages in and I'm already really fucking motivated. She definitely tells it how it is- no sugar coatin...

Drawing a blank

Drawing. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It's one of those things where if I feel at all pressured to do it, I simply won't. P.S. I'm really a toddler. Jk, but for some reason I've always had that (toddler-like) approach to it. I think all of us love to draw when we're little, and it totally makes sense! We finally learn how to hold a pencil, control our extremities,  and it keeps us occupied for like 10 minutes which has parents everywhere rejoicing. It involves dogs/flowers/dinosaurs/other "kid stuff" and probably tons of colors. It's a skill set above coloring (finally, am I right kids?!) that we can master before learning cursive. Anyway, what I'm getting at here is that I loooooooved drawing when I was a kid. Aside from reading and eating Cheetos, it was like my main thing. Fast forward to approximately 10 years later: I went to college and majored in art and I was like forced to draw all the time. I hated it. Something a...

Happy last weekend before school starts, guys! Even though I'm not in school any more, it's hard to avoid those back-to-school vibes when you're living in a small college town. The dynamic of our town definitely changes when school starts back up again. The campus traffic is definitely worth avoiding in the mornings, coffee shops are packed again, weeknight events are hard to come by, and bars are kind of the worst. I don't really go to bars that much anyway, but there's a notable (and miserable) difference.  Anyway, here's a couple of (horrible iPhone) photos from this weekend: The Pioneers of Prime Time TV opening for Courtney Marie Andrews at Art Obscura last night! If you ever have a chance to see The Pioneers of Prime Time TV perform, you have to see them. The two man group is absolutely enchanting and the violinist has the voice of an angel. They don't have their newer stuff up on their Soundcloud, but rest assured that it's also...
