My parents got me the sweetest present
They got me a card and inside it said:
“Redeem this card for one awesome pair of jeans that you buy on your own time when you feel motivated to shop for jeans. Purchase them, bring mom the receipt ad you will be reimbursed for the price of said awesome jeans. (other pants may be substituted for said awesome jeans but they must be equally awesome i.e. you must love them!)”
Perfect...

On a snowy day, my Mom's waffles hit the spot!
So until I was 10, this is what waffles were to me. My mom’s recipe for garbanzo bean waffles. I had never had regular waffles made with white flour and milk, only these waffles that just happened to be vegan, long before I even knew what vegan was.
She made a batch this morning and they are delicious! (and soo healthy)
Ingredients:
1 cup dried garbanzo beans (also called chick peas)

I still had a breakdown when I went to the mall with my family this afternoon.
It was while looking at my self in a dressing room mirror, I just started to cry. I couldn’t fit into anything that I had brought into the room with me.
After being so upset, all I wanted to do was curl up with all of my favorite foods. But my mom reassured me that slow and steady wins the race. If I lose one...
I lost 2 lbs! :)

Couldn't figure out what to eat
Since I made the decision to stick to a vegan diet, it hasn’t been easy. When I get sad I just want to reach for bread and cheese. But every day you have to make the right choices.
My mom was making a big pot of Mac and Cheese for the siblings who are all home this week for winter break. It was hard, but I resisted and made a delicious salad and I’m loving it.
It’s all the...

New Law
From an email my Dad just sent me:
New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of the road with their lights flashing, you have to move to the next lane (away from the stopped vehicle) or slow down by 20 mph…….
Every state except Hawaii and Maryland and the D.C. has this law. In California , the “Move-over” law became operative on January 1, 2010.

But I like to give myself short term goals, so I hope I can start to see results by SXSW. I don’t really have a...
