It's Caturday!

I love this picture of Joan. She looks somewhat smug, and it kind of describes how I feel! I don't feel smug, but I do feel very proud of myself. Yesterday I did what I really wanted and got a job and a bank account right next to each other. My interview went well, and the owner/manager whatever he is is going to look at the schedule over the weekend and see where he can fit me in for training, and he's calling me Monday or Tuesday. It's seriously like less than a ten minute walk from my apartment, so I won't have to worry about getting lost, dealing with the bus, or taking a taxi. Apparently since this city is super Mormon, a lot of the buses don't run on Sundays, so for that and other reasons I wanted to work close to home. I feel like I accomplished a lot in my first week here. The bank I chose is a small Utah bank, and even though I believe all banks are evil, and I resent having to use one, at least the smaller banks seem a little nicer. The last two banks I've used left super bad tastes in my mouth, and I felt dirty being a part of the whole thing. Anyway, this of course isn't my dream job, and the restaurant is super non vegan, like everything is super meaty, buttery, and just super American crap food. But it's something until I find my dream job. And the person who was texting me about the dog walking was also"talking to one other person" so they will let me know if they choose me. Fingers crossed!

I took this picture the other night after dinner. I really need to learn how to use the zoom! Anyway, there is one view of the mountains. I've taken so many pictures, but none really capture the beauty of being surrounded by these mountains. But practice makes perfect, and one day you will see a stunning picture of these mountains on this blog!

 By the time I got home, I was starving and wanted to eat like NOW, so I went super simple and heated up some refried beans and toasted some crunchy shells. I know crunchy shells are not authentic, but sometimes I crave that crunch! I topped these with shredded lettuce, cilantro, green onion, avocado and of course tapatio! This was a super cheap, and super easy dinner that tasted really fresh and delicious. I made this in less time than a frozen meal, or even ordering delivery. For the past month, my eating habits had gotten really terrible. I went over a week with barely eating anything, and then flip flopped between not eating, or eating total crap food. So, feeding my body simply has made a big difference in how I feel.
For dessert I had another chocolate covered cocomel bar. These things are life changing!

eeeeeeeeeee (this was typed by Kanye. How crazy is it that those letters kind of apply to the topic!)

This was the vanilla flavor, and I loved it so much. I think I mentioned this once before, but one time I was missing caramel so much, and so I decided to make vegan caramel, and it was not a pretty sight. Never will I ever attempt that again, so I'm so happy these exist!

Happy Caturday! It feels so good to say that again!
