Guess who’s back

Shady’s back Nope.  That’s not right.  It’s ME (duh). I just couldn’t stay away from ya!  At first my time away from blogging (and technology in general) was kinda nice.  But after a week, I really started to miss it!!  Good to know – since this little thing all started as a hobby anyways :)  And as much fun as it has been having no agenda on my days off, it’s also important to keep doing the things you love.  I know I said it before, but I just wanted to emphasize how touched I… Read more >

Like a fat kid loves cake

I LOVE love LOVE you all so much for the overwhelmingly thoughtful comments you flooded me with yesterday.  I wanted to hug each and every person who took the time to comment for their kind words. It feels so impersonal to write this here given the nature of the sentiments but I couldn’t be more appreciative of all who offered their thoughts, prayers, advice, email addresses, cell phone numbers, and time.  Such outreach from virtual strangers is immensely heartwarming.  It made the day light-years better from the previous ones, too.  Taking all your comments to… Read more >

Confession

Ok, I’m about to get personal…if you don’t wanna hear it, skip ahead. Today, for the second time in 3 days (aka since I’ve been back in NYC), I’ve broken down and cried my eyes out.  I’ve tried to ignore it – tried to pretend it’s just homesickness, or the weather, or hormones, or some combination of all these things…whatever.  The fact is: I’m sick of being miserable and pretending I’m not.  Unfortunately, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.  I am usually pretty good at identifying the issue and working past it, but I… Read more >

Heavenly humm-becue

I woke up at 10 today.  Wow.  Haven’t done that in a while.  I wanted to sleep in so badly though, so I will consider it a success.  I passed the AM with a lot of drinks.  Mocha.  Tea.  Pee.  Pee.  Pee. “Empty yourself and let the universe fill you.”  Check 😉 For those who asked, here’s the recipe for the “cheeze” sauce I made yesterday: 12 oz. silken tofu (the entire box) 2 tbsp nutritional yeast unmeasured amounts of salt 1 tsp miso paste dash of paprika Try it!  So good.  Anyways, I had… Read more >

I’m back (and it’s cold)

After a fairly miserable red-eye flight, Kyle and I returned to our 10 degree apartment Monday morning.  🙁 With a list of errands longer than the Gettysburg address and a brain still on a mental vacay, it goes without saying…I felt a bit overwhelmed.  It didn’t help that I couldn’t stop shivering for the first 2 hours.  I finally had to take a shower to get my body temp back to a normal range.  After a piping hot cup of cocoa (the apartment is coffee-less!!) I unpacked, laundered, made a grocery list…and STILL felt like… Read more >
