Mini Vegan Haul and Meet Louie!

Spinach,bananas,frozen fruit bars,black beans,lemons,corn tortillas,tofu,taco mix,onion,frozen strawberries, and a protein cookie(?!)
Louie, the little dog from Austin who you'll meet later is staying at an Airbnb right in the area of all my grocery stores that I go to, so I picked up a few things for the weekend since I had a few bucks left on my budget week. I went a little over, but some of this stuff will last into next week, so I didn't sweat it. I'm too busy actually sweating!
I also splurged on their new kombucha. I've been so curious, and so I decided I earned it. I thought it was okay. I wouldn't not buy it again, but it's definitely not one of my favorites. When they say it's gently gingered they mean it. I taste the actual tea more than anything. It's also not as fizzy as other booches, and I guess I really like the fizz. But, it's a good price, and it's definitely not bad.
It's weird that I got a Complete Cookie since I have mentioned before that I tried one and could really taste the protein powder and it was a turn off. But I keep seeing so many people loving them, and so I decided to give it one more try. Trader Joe's sells them for only eighty nine cents which is so much cheaper than anywhere else! I got chocolate chocolate chip. I figured maybe all the chocolate will mask the protein powder taste.
My gun toting neighbors have moved out(YES!!!) and they left this chair behind. It's  a nice, comfortable little office chair that is perfect for blogging. Someone had asked about my cats and scratching the furniture. Well, here is an action shot of Roxie going to town on the chair. This chair in particular has become the cat scratching destination!
And here is sweet little Louie! It was so hard to get a picture of his face, he did not want to pose or sit still! He is seriously the cutest. He doesn't walk, he struts. Face up to the sun, tail wagging happy strutting. I'm sad I will only walk him through tomorrow. Look at that straw next to him that's supposed to be grass! He also likes to find interesting smells and roll in them! Sorry Dad!
The person who owns the Airbnb also has a chicken coop with quite a few chickens. I was able to get a shot of this beauty. I talk to them and hope they'll come close enough for a pet, but so far they eye me from a slight distance.
Happy Saturday!

  1. You are getting quite a pet store there in SLC. Hope you get a few more animals to walk. You need to work in an animal shelter. It might be cooler for you. Our temps were a little cooler this past week, but more rain.
    Our granddaughter has chickens- 6 of them. They are for eggs, but they aren't producing yet. She has them all named- can't remember all of their names, but there is Patty, Dr. Pecker, I'll let you know the rest when I check with her....Well, it's time to get ready for church, so ttyl. Have a wonderful day.

    1. Wow, 6 chickens. I would love to have a few chickens. I would love to have a few of all animals who am I kidding!
      I would be so happy to have rain! Especially if it meant cooler temperatures!
      Have a lovely day!

    1. If I went on a trip I would definitely check out Airbnb. Having your own kitchen is such a plus, and I think in most cases it's cheaper than a hotel.
