“mind the gap”

I have been trying to delay the arrival of this day for a while now…but there’s no point in denying it, I’m back in the real world after 10 days of bliss. Vacation was amazing. I saw a lot, ate a lot, enjoyed a lot, worked out none – and it was fabulous! Exactly the way vacation is supposed to be. I didn’t take photos of my food, because frankly, that would have been obnoxious, and I just wanted to enjoy it all, guilt free.While dining out on this trip, I was definitely inspired to… Read more >

up up and away (to europe)

FINALLY the day is here! We leave for Europe today!! Woohoo.Java load! Much needed since Kyle got back from Brazil at 6 in the morning, so I was up by 7. I have been basically clearing out the fridge, but this morning I had to suck it up and go out and get some food. I got a bag of grapes because they looked so good – plus, I figured if I didn’t finish them I could always freeze them (but, of course it didn’t come to that, since I clearly ate them all).

48 hours (more or less)

I am beyond words excited for this vacation. Only one more day! Coffee!! I went to the gym for an elliptical sesh. It was raining so I was kinda in a yuck mood.

Could life BE any better? Then I spent forever trying to catch up… Read more >

I am so excited, I will hardly be able to focus at work…I packed my lunch the night before: apple, odwalla bar (superfood flavor), raisins, and a big ‘ol sandwich.I’m trying to use up the last of things in the fridge before we go, which means I’m getting creative in my sandwich choices. Broccoli slaw (in lieu of lettuce), ff greek yogurt and mustard with smart deli “turkey” …and then more mustard (in an attempt to… Read more >

the perfect day

I woke up before my alarm went off at 9 am, but then once I turned on the light and the tv, I nodded back off right away. I kept waking up for brief seconds but just couldn’t seem to keep my eyes open. Finally, by 11 I dragged myself to the kitchen to start the coffee. I kinda overflowed my mug! (no design today) I did some housework while munching on strawberry o’soy yogurt and an apple for brunch. I still have a bunch of I’s to dot and T’s to cross before leaving… Read more >
