Sunday Stuff

I went to the library yesterday and as you can see, I'm on a bit of a self help, self healing mission. I was looking for The Secret which I've never read, but this is the only book they had by that author. I've heard good things, so I thought I'd give it a chance. I mentioned the other day that I feel like I'm in a funk, and I desperately want to pull myself out of it. I want to make the life that I want, and only I can do it. So maybe these books can help. I've also always been interested in Ayurvedic medicine, so I was really excited to find this book in the vegan cookbook section.

I also got some groceries and decided to try this ginger beer while I waited for my bus. I don't know why I've always been scared to try ginger beer. I guess it's because I thought it would have that fake taste that so many ginger ales have. But this was absolutely AHMAZING! Very refreshing, with a very natural ginger taste. I can see this being a regular treat during the summer. And it was only one dollar for a bottle which is much cheaper than other ginger beers I've seen.
I forgot to take a picture of my haul because I was kind of upset when I got home. When I was at Smith's the cashier asked me how many cats I have, and after I told her she said something bad happened at her apartment building and "she just had to tell someone" and she proceeded to tell me this story that I won't repeat but it was very sad. Some people have no clues about boundaries. You tell things that are burdens to you to friends, family, close coworkers, whatever. Not a random stranger who has the misfortune of going through your line at the grocery. Anyway, I just kind of had a dark cloud over my head when I got home. I didn't get anything exciting anyway. The usual lemons, smoothie stuff, tofu and potatoes with some spices and condiments thrown in for good measure.

I did find something new at Trader Joe's. They now have seasoning salt! I used to love using seasoning salt on fries and also popcorn. But when I look at the ingredients of a lot of the seasoning salts there are a lot of weird, hard to pronounce ingredients that I try to avoid. But this version has onion, garlic, sea salt, paprika, celery seed, dry mustard and nutmeg. I used some on my oven wedges and they were so incredible! Now I just need to buy some popping corn! I was going to get the everything bagel seasoning that Sarah loves so much, but they were sold out.

And here's Joan and Roxy watching birds on YouTube. It's so funny, Roxy is content just watching, but Joan is always trying to get under the laptop, or behind it trying so hard to get those dang birds!
