Bad Hair, Good News!

So, I got the salt lamp, or in this case candle holders. My logic is this way I can have one in the bedroom and one in the living room. These are $14.99 which is wonderful. When I first read about these, I figured it was yet another natural, feel good thing that was not for people like me. Or, I guess I should say wallets like mine. I bought votive candles, and I should have bought tea lights. I am a lucky girl when I get to go to the mall twice in two days. (Dripping with sarcasm!) I also have to get my hair fixed. Never trust your hair to someone who's own hair leaves a lot to be desired. I look like a tool. I did get bangs, which was a terrible idea because now they are just there. I look like  I could be a female lead in Dumb and Dumber! And I don't mean as the hot female lead, I mean as a female dumber! So, hopefully something can be done to salvage this. And I didn't flash my coupon till after the cut, so it wasn't that.

Library haul

Luckily for me the library balanced out the mall madness. I feel claustrophobic as soon as I enter a mall. It's hard for me to believe I ever worked in one!

This is my new favorite smoothie, period. Pineapple juice, frozen mango, and spinach. It tastes sweet, and tropical and it makes me feel cheerful and happy when I drink it. Plus, I guess I did participate in St. Patrick's day!

I whipped up these veggie burgers last night with more cupboard stuff! I have a big bag of oatmeal, and to be honest oatmeal never satisfies me for breakfast. I have never been into sweet breakfasts, except for fruit on a hot summer day.  I like savory things in the morning. But, I bought this oatmeal because I always see beautiful oatmeal bowls on the webz, and I feel like I'm missing something. Anyway, I decided to use some of the oatmeal as a binder for these pinto bean burgers. It's just pinto and lentil beans, oatmeal, some roasted corn, a little salsa, and seasonings. These turned out pretty tasty, and I'm bummed I didn't write the recipe down. It was a spontaneous meal choice.

My delicious dessert. I would like to take a moment to notice some personal growth as a human being. There was a time not too long ago where I would have totally shoved the rest of this pint in my face to sooth myself over this chop job on my hair. But, not only did I not do it, I didn't even have the urge. I don't want to speak too soon, but I might just be done punishing myself! It feels pretty amazing.
Before I sign off, I just heard that Sea World is finally doing away with their "Theatrical" shows, and also the captive killer whale breeding. I can hardly believe it. It proves that progress can be made, even when it seems like nothing is happening. This is just so amazing, and I want to say such a huge thank you, and also congratulations to all of the people who protest, and protest, and than PROTEST!
Those assholes finally listened! Here is an article on NPR about it, and also a short three minute video.
Happy Friday!
