Vegan Mostly

Today was my first at school allllllll day. It was long but good. I made quinoa w bell pepper and onion for lunch.  Polished nails and practiced acrylics.  The smells are so strong! This mask was a necessity.  I was starving when I got home. I stuffed my face w an avocado and hummus. Amazing.  Pokey made black eye peas. I've been asking him to make beans. He makes them so well. I had 1 1/2 bowls. No judging.  Today was a great day. I'm laying in bed now forcing myself to go to sleep. I need to really get in the habit of resting. :) 

Saturday was my first day to come he from work and not go to school. Pokey and I celebrated w a movie and dinner at Brickhouse Tavern. Mushroom pizza w goat cheese and arugula. He shared some pizza w me and he got himself a crab cake sandwich. He said it was good.  Today it was Kristen's baby shower. It was fun!  It was sports themed. It was cute.  Me, Sully, Ashley, Kristen, Roxy and Jaque. We all work together. It was cool hanging outside of work.  I came home and took a "nap" lol. I slept from 5-8:30! Lol. Wrong decision lol. I hope I can sleep tonight.  I roasted zucchini w bell pepper and poblano peppers. I love eating green.  Now it's time for Dexter. 

Pokey made the juice for today. He likes beets "/ He juiced beets, pears, grapes and an apple. It was ok  Reunited and it feels so good!!! Rebecca is back from Europe!  My sister! I've missed her. 

This is gonna be amazing! I juiced the whole pineapple and half a melon. I love summer. So delicious. 

I'm trying y'all. I'm really not a fan of beets. I looked up a simple recipe and it said olive oil, salt and pepper. Oven at 350 for 30 min. My opinion: still taste like dirt :( they are good for you so I will continue to juice and eat them :)  I didn't even realize Pokey got a spaghetti squash yesterday. I roasted it along w yellow squash and it was delish. Roasting is so easy for me.  Side note: I start school tomorrow!!! I'm already and esthetician now I'm getting licensed to do nails. I'm excited to be done w school already "/ I'm not a fan of school. I am a fan of educating myself so I really am excited. I've never worked full time and went to school school full time. Pray for me y'all.  That's my kit!!! Shit just got real lol. 

No sarcasm. For real. It is lol. I made Pokey's breakfast and lunch.  Lemon 2 apples and I beet. Pokey loves beets. Me not so much but I'll drink them.  There was a little bit of beet juice in the pitcher. I left it and added 4 carrots and 3 pears. Nice color.  You HAVE  to have something green. Today it's a bunch of kale an apple and a pear.  I hope he enjoys. 

We went to eat at Villa's. I had a veggie burrito. Did I take a pic? Nope. I forgot. Good conversation. Lol. Afterwards we got snowcones.  Cheers!!!  We headed to the Farmer's Market. Got some goodies.  Came home and washed all our fruits and veggies.  A sink full of water w a cup of vinegar.  Takes time but its worth it.  We are juicing this week. Yay! 

I went kayaking w Pokey. He fished I just chilled. It was fun till it started to get hot! I came back home. He said he will be gone for only an hour. I enjoyed some watermelon.  It never had a chance. I was laying out in the sun. Kinda. I had my upper body in the shade and my lower half out. My legs needed to catch up w my arms!  I had fun with the time to myself. I fell asleep (again) on the hammock  We need to get one. I love this thang! Look at how much color and freckles I have.  I'm getting used to my freckles now. I know I talk about them a lot but its because I never had them before. 30 yrs of my life none. Then now all of a sudden (5 yrs later) I'm full of them! Lol. 

For breakfast I had black beans and peppers tacos w rice and peas  Today was a chill day. Just Pokey and I. We went shopping at Walmart and then came back home. He went kayak fishing. Caught a sting ray (three it back)  I fell asleep on the hammock. Like knocked the eff out. Pokey called and said Aunt Nancy and Uncle Michael were on the way and he was headed back to the house. Man.... When he called it woke me from my sleep and immediately gave a headache. I was sound asleep on the hammock. Vacation problems lol. 

Ok so lets start of by me saying I DO NOT like to eat fish nor do I like to catch it. However...I am a fan of my husband. I love that man. When he asked if I'd want to go I said "sigh...ok" so...we went  See his smile? He was so happy. He didn't mention that 12 hr trip meant 4 hrs away 4 hrs to fish and 4 hrs back home. I feel asleep on my arm...my eyebrows kinda...sorta...came off "/ notice the goose bumps...it was freezing in the ac.  It's hard to eat good on a fishing boat. Everything was a burger. Cheese burger. Double meat cheese burger.... I got a BLT and chilli cheese Cheetos. Yup. I sure did. Ate it all too and prayed I didn't get sick lol.  The weather was beautiful. The water was so blue. It was pretty. He was in fishing heaven.  Vermillion King fish  The other one  Shark And a red snapper that he couldn't keep. Not in season yet.  Dexters boat. That's all from the shark.  They line all the fish up and they call your number and you colle...

I'm 35 today. I feel great. Age is just a number. I don't feel "old" I don't feel "aging" I know I'm "mid-thirties" but I'm ok with that.  I spent my day w this girl! Sully. I love her. She is really like a younger sister to me. I've known her since she was 18 she's now 23. She has fought and won her battle w cancer. Yay! Melanoma is a bitch and I'm glad she doesn't have it anymore. Notice the whiteness on her legs. Sunblock. I'm not even mad.  We went kayaking. It was fun. It was a work out. The wind kept blowing us the wrong way!  We went riding to the beach!  Sully hasn't rode a bike since she was a kid. She did good.  We rode from one side of the island to the other. We are awesome.  Dinner was amazing. Pokey made a jerk pork and rice and peas. I made veggies for tacos and "hot wing" cauliflower.  Pokey wanted to get me a cake but I didn't want it. I wanted watermelon. We bought red velvet cupca...
