i hate prop 8

My last day of work for the week could not have arrived sooner – no joke, I was exhausted and my entire body was aching like a 90 year old geriatrics patient. I think I will need monthly massages just to keep myself walking! Anyways, the day started off bright and early with a Bruno’s coffee…which actually didn’t keep me alert enough at ALL. I was forced to do some non-vegan snacking just so I didn’t keel over at work. I’m not proud of what I did, but sometimes my stomach takes over…I stole a… Read more >

Parents vacay – part III

After SUCH a late night, we got to sleep in only a bit. I had a nice frothy coffee (with a mix of ff vanilla “creamer” and skim plus). Then the parents arrived at our apartment and we headed off for a morning stroll through Riverside Park. We ended up making our way east into Central Park to catch some of the tail end of the NYC marathon. How inspirational!!!! I am now determined to get my butt in gear. No joke. Carpe diem. This is going to be my year. 26 is going to… Read more >

lucky pennies

Here’s the thing – I am very superstitious. The reason this is stupid is because at the same time I am very logical and I always look for rational explanations for everything. I can’t explain why I still believe in good luck or random events being “signs” but I just do. The reason I am mentioning this is because on the way to work today I found 2 (not 1, but 2!!) pennies heads up. I always pick up pennies if they are heads up, and I never pick up pennies that are tails up… Read more >

fluids, fluids, fluids

Yep that’s the name of the game. Fluids. Today was a fairly productive day, as far as days off go. Although the day’s news was mostly bad, (GI appt, OB/GYN appt, employee health appt since I had to get clearance to return to work…) I am still optimistic that I have now hit rock bottom and from here on it is only going to get better. So, that said, I started the day off nice and early today (had to compensate for yesterday’s sleep in) with an ff misto/latte with homemade starbucks coffee and a… Read more >
