*Inspired by my friend Erin of Vegan Homemade

Such a veg*an

Holy shit. I completely forgot that April 26th was my 3 year vegetarianniversary. 3 years of no meat! And I'm better, faster, harder and stronger now, too (even if I tripped and ate it during my run yesterday and my left leg is covered in roadburn, ow). Yay me!!

Celebrating with getting more tattoo done in two weeks!

Things that are new with me

1. New job - yes, fucking finally. Will be making much more money, getting done at 4pm, working with nice folks, the whole shebang. Woop woop.

2. New blog - http://suchavegan.blogspot.com/. Check it out.

3. One of the cookbooks I tested for is out now! Immediately buy or order Viva Vegan! by the lovely Terry Hope Romero.

4. Working on my own cookbook. We'll see.

5. The cats are obsessed with (a) our bathroom rug, or rather, destroying our bathroom rug, (b) the kitchen clock, and (c) the various goings on of birds and squirrels in the fig tree outside our window.
