No, this list is not sponsored. Yes, most of it is food!
- Our “homemade” “fish” tacos. We use the Mission brand street tacos, Gardein “fish,” and the Aldi Asian chopped salad kit. Drool.
Looks bad, tastes great
- The Impossible Burger with pretzel bun from Kuma’s Corner. Oh em gee, I die. (I do NOT love that Impossible oversold and cannot keep up with supply, sigh.)
- Vans waffles. They’re fulfilling and perfect for when I don’t have time to make oatmeal.
And the cats all like them
- Valley Pop. I’ve tried A LOT of pre-popped popcorns and this is hands down my favorite!
- Bowls with cat faces.
- Steven taking care of my car (emissions testing, oil changes, replacing the wiper blades) even though he has his own now.
- Grocery store pickup. I hate shopping at big box stores (not because I am anti big box, but because I am anti leave my house and go shopping), and love that many stores have an app now so I can shop from my phone and pick it up later.
- That ROAD iD makes a band that fits on my Garmin watch now! I’ve used the shoe ID for years because the watch ID never worked on my model of Garmin, but now it does, yay! Now I don’t have to mess around with switching it from shoe to shoe with every run.
Yes, I am an A+ vegan! Ha ha ha. (A+ is my blood type.)
- Pedicures. I have never regularly gotten pedicures, but I started in June and think I will keep it up. What a treat! (Side note: I smashed my big toe SO bad last July, that it took MONTHS to heal. I probably don’t need to write this, but folks, see a podiatrist when your toes are effed up. I should have.)
- Hanes selling all black packs of their underwear.
Love those bowls! Where can I get them too?
I got them at Beans & Barley in Milwaukee 🙂
Not sure if their site is working or not (I have bad internet right now), but here it is:

I am catching up on blogs. I love how your posts are so positive. I am not vegan or vegetarian yet I have never eaten fish tacos in my life! I am tempted to try it with the “non-fish” fish.
Thanks, I try to be (I could easily make a list of ten things I am hating right meow but I keep that to my journal).
Let me know if you try! I totally recommend the Gardein one. We’ve tried a lot of “fake” fish and like that one the best!
I have a package of Mission brand street taco tortillas (corn) in my bread drawer right now, with vegetarian street tacos on the menu for tonight, how cool! Our version has black beans, fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and we use a little Parmesan cheese on top. Yummmmmm.
Thanks to my injury I discovered grocery delivery – and my local store has a try it four times for free deal, so I’ve been taking advantage of it when Jeff is out of town or basically too wiped out after gardening all weekend to go – you cannot beat having someone show up on your doorstep with an armload of grocery bags. I may continue this after I’m better…
I just sat that Road ID does that tag for Garmins so if I ever get to wear mine again, I’ll have to get one.
Oh and pedicures – I hadn’t had one since last November and then was majorly in the “no way is anyone going to touch my leg full of pins and needles months” but I think I am getting close to tolerating the experience soon. I hope so – it’s such a treat to see ocean blue toenails (fav color).
I want to try the corn ones! I prefer corn when I go out. Do you heat them up in a pan before? Your dinner sounds delish!
Why not continue it?! I read something about how it’s worth it to spend money on chores you don’t want to do and can afford to pay someone else to do, and grocery delivery TOTALLY counts for that! I’ve thought about trying delivery too 🙂
I am liking the new ID so far!
I hope you can go too! Blue is my fave color to get on my fingernails. I should try it on my toes!
I love those kitty bowls! We’ve been using grocery delivery recently when we’re traveling and getting back on a Sunday so at least we don’t have to worry about picking up groceries when we’re already tired and just want to get home. I keep hearing about those gardein “fish,” I really need to try them.
We use the bowls for ice cream and small snacks and they make me so happy!
I need to do delivery the next time I get back. That’s brilliant! Although, the place I buy all our salad from (Aldi) doesn’t deliver… yet.
Let me know if you try them. I was like “ew, FISH!” then “OMG these are amazeballs.”
Your I’d really has SNIS on it for your sister?
Yes
Did you know the makers of the Impossible Burger are now working to develop Impossible Fish, too?! I read about it in the New York Times this morning: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/10/business/fake-fish-impossible-foods.html Doesn’t sound like it’ll be on the market any time soon, but I’m definitely curious about what it’ll taste like.
I did not! I bet it will actually taste like fish… wish means I will not like it, ha! (the Gardein one doesn’t taste like fish to me) Have you tried the burger?
I haven’t, but I would love to! I like regular meat burgers, but obviously they’re pretty far from being a good choice in the food department, so I’d love to give the Impossible Burger a shot and see if it could be a viable alternative!
I am not sure if Impossible is that much better (healthier) but it is better for the environment. I surprisingly found this RW article about it informative 🙂

You know I’m all about those cat bowls. Haha. Instagram is now sending me all kinds of crazy cat lady ads now, and I want to buy everything I see. I just saw that there’s a crazy cat lady subscription box and it took a lot of willpower not to click it and subscribe. Haha.
Aren’t they fab?!
OMG, I was thinking about writing a post about how I don’t “get” subscription boxes, but a crazy cat lady one?! Um…….. yassssss!!!!
You will have to share all the awesome cat lady things you are buying with me 🙂
