Oh, hello!

This week flew by. Holy bananas. I love when they do that! After work today I'm heading down to southern Illinois with my mama to hang out with the fam for the weekend. I'm going to meet my cousin's new baby which is pretty exciting. I love babies when you can return them to their owners as needed ;)

I discovered a dive-y mexican restaurant by my apartment yesterday, and picked up some foods for dinner. Guess what? It was delicious. It's safe to assume that I will be a regular there. I'm looking forward to (hopefully) finding more places like this.

I have fallen off the vegan/vegetarian wagon SO SO SO HARD the last few weeks. I tend to have this "all or nothing" attitude about some things, and once I messed up I just went all out. And the silly thing is that I feel so much healthier and better when I don't eat meat, so it doesn't even make sense to start eating it again. I noticed myself looking healthier, and having more energy - even sleeping better, when I cut out animal products. I must do it again!

Sidebar: I can't express how much anger I have for the people who are writing blogs/posting things like this. Ignorance is rampant, and everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I struggle to sympathize with these kinds of people. Victim mentality isn't flattering on anybody. Someone I am friends with on Facebook is constantly posting these types of ignorant blogs/articles, and it makes me sick. When I think about getting involved in a stupid Facebook discussion with him, this silly (but appropriate) saying goes through my head: Don't wrestle with a pig, because you'll both get dirty - but the pig will like it.

Haha I don't use that saying nearly enough.
