Its Sunday.

I like to think of sunday's as take-it-easy-days, despite getting ready for Monday's to-do list, which may or may not have a whole lot of things on it. The weekend is almost over, too (thank god).

Today I am going to try to get out to buy some new work out shoes. The ones I have are giving my blisters and have become so uncomfortable to run in. Luckily, they are black and look like any old pair of tennis shoes, so they will get demoted to just a pair of regular shoes to fool around with on the weekends outside or something.
I want to invest in a good pair of running shoes for those days when I feel like tackling the treadmill. I love my treadmill lol
The only problem is that I still depend on my parents for these things, and my mom has given me a budget of $30. Thats a decent amount for a good pair of skate shoes, maybe. I dont know, things have gotten so expensive over the years, and I know a good pair of reboks are at least $40-50. I understand the concept of being on a budget, but my mom gives me a hard time whenever I ask for something, which is a RARE occurrence. And its something that i feel I really need. I dont even ask for things that I solely want, like jewelry, make up, etc. I just cant believe how she has no problem blowing hundreds of dollars on herself getting her things she doesnt need, but she gives me a hard time for wanting shoes? *grumble, grumble*

Whatever. I am letting my mom's antics go. Plus, I have a stash of money from when I was working and I am probably going to throw 20 bucks into my running shoes fund and pick me up a good pair of nikes or something. It will be so worth it.

I am very proud of myself for not overeating last night, especially since I made spaghetti with meatballs for my brothers and dad.
I knew I wanted some too, so I made my healthier version with meatless meatballs by trader joes over whole wheat pasta.
If anyone has a Trader Joe's near them, you should try these puppies. I think I liked them better than real meatballs. I dont know what it was about them but they were just divine. Their texture was practically identical to perfectly tender meat. Maybe it was that I was really, really hungry?! Haha They are also 100% vegan/vegetarian, just to let all you herbivores out there know.

I am glad the weather is so nice today, and I hope it continues through the week. It always puts me in a good mood. Its a shame I am inside a whole lot though :[ I'd rather be outside doing something or going somewhere. I love to be active. I really do. I'm kind of the opposite of my family. My brothers barely leave the house, my mom never leaves, and my dad leaves for work. Thats it.
I want to go to the beach really badly.

Have a great sunday everyone, and look forward to a new week!

I think the closest Trader Joe's is at least 300 miles away!! LOL!! The meatless meatballs sound delicious!! I did vegan for a little over a year ... but returned to my carnivore ways! Get outside today and rub a little sunshine on your face!! You are doing great ... just keep stepping one step at a time. Is there a reason you aren't working outside of your parents' home? Just wondering. A strong healthy young woman like you ought to be making her way in the world!!! Sure would mean a lot less grief in your life in some ways ... maybe you and mom would even get along better. I don't mean to be nosy ... well okay ... you caught me ... LOL!!! Nosy I am!!! Have a great Sunday.

My mother lives in Phoenix Arizona and that is the only trader joes I've ever been too, but thier selection is AMAZING! I'm so jelous you have one near you! Do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They have these noodles that are made out of tofu. I've seen them shaped like angel hair pasta, spaghetti noodles, and fetticinie... ack I cant spell! Anyway, I made spaghetti for my husband with them and he didn't even know they weren't real pasta! Really convienient and you dont have to boil them, just microwave to heat them up! I was vegan for 2 years in high school and I think I'm gonna go back to that. I'm cutting out red meat for now to ease myself into it. Maybe I'll stay as a pesco vegitarian, (one who eats fish but no other meat source)

I hit the discount stores for my shoes n' stuff. I got some really awesome 'Adidas' running shoes for $40 bucks at a place called 'Burlington Coat Factory' here (they were originally $130, but since FootLocker didn't sell them, I got them cheap). I don't know what that would be there- We also have a place called 'Ross' were I've seen 'Sketchers' many many times. It's new stuff... I also put on the brakes for any clearance sign I see, you never know when you'll see something you'll need at a sweeeeet price. Hope you had a great weekend!! =D

I recently got some New Balance sneakers/running shoes at TJ Maxx for only $25. They are out there you just have to really hunt for them. My parents stopped buying me clothing and such when I was 16. I had to get a job and get my own stuff so I can relate to what you are saying but I have to admit it really made me the independant person I am today and so I do not resent it at all. At the time it was hard but it makes us stronger in the end!
