Sadly Saturday was not a sleep in day. We had to get things moving bright and early, so clearly a sunrise java run was in the cards. After meeting with our (now confirmed) wedding photographer we hit up the 23rd St/7th Ave Whole Foods. It was only 11, but Kyle signed us BOTH up for a joint training session with his trainer at 2 pm and I needed to give my tummy digesting time. Whole Foods’ Mediterranean hot bar was calling to me in a MAYJ way! Oh how I love falafel! I had the… Read more >

Finally a day off of work [insert sigh of relief]! And a Friday to boot (what an odd phrase). Today was soopah busy and I was playing catch up all day long. Naturally, I fueled myself with a large dose of caffeine to get my butt moving. I got 99 problems errands but a meal ‘aint one. After my first round of rain-filled errands my tummy was begging for more fruit. You ask and you shall receive! Later, I was craving the most bizarre (read highly processed) things for lunch. Bacon and cheese? Errr…not quite. … Read more >

Yes! About 4 days behind. I showed you all my eats throughout the day, but no dinners. So, I guess I have some blogging to do, huh? But before I get to that, thank you all SO much for your kind comments about my past few days at work. I was a little nervous about writing a more emotional post about my job (and not food), but the comments that flooded after proved I had nothing to worry about. So thank you thank you thank you 🙂 Moving on. Guess what today is!?! Give up?… Read more >

I’m exhausted with a capital “E” after the last 3 days of work I’ve had. I shouldn’t complain since I had 4 days off in a row while my sister was visiting, but man was it difficult to go back to such a chaotic scene. Tuesday’s shift whizzed by so fast I was playing catch up for 12 hours straight (the unit was good busy, not shoot-myself-in-the-head busy), on Wednesday I cried (more on THAT later…), and Thursday I was called to the ICU to cover a patient who had taken a turn for the… Read more >

Boy oh boy is it exhausting taking NYC by storm in one weekend! Sunday’s weather was far nicer than Saturday’s (in that there was less rain), but JUST as nasty in terms of humidity… I still started the day with java and fruit. There may have been a bit of a SoapNet marathon throughout the AM. Is there a better show to get ready to start the day than 90210? I think not 🙂 After digesting and beautifying, we set off for Brooklyn. I love the promenade/DUMBO area. So cute – and such great… Read more >
