I woke up to flurries, and the weather only picked up from there. It was nice to sip hot coffee inside, wrapped in blankets, while the snow fell outside. I only like snow when I don’t have to leave the house though, so I think I’ll be over it pretty quickly since I have work tomorrow. With my AM coffee, I had a handful of dates, they were SUPER soft and chewy – the way I like them best. Look at the snow! It’s hard to tell how much it was actually snowing from the… Read more >

Buenos dias! No work = sleep in day (woo hoo)! Made a nice big frothy mug of coffee this morning. Yum yum yum. I spent the next few hours doing errands around the apartment…and I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until my stomach started growling around 2 pm. Whoa! Late lunch much? So I made a nice platter for myself with the best hummus EVAH (Sabra). First I had some carrots and a slice of Alvarado street bread… Then I had one more piece of bread (caked with delicious Sabra)… And another…… Read more >

Hooray! I love weekends 🙂 Since I didn’t have work, I slept in today, which felt amazing. Then, Kyle headed off to MindsMatter, so I curled up with a cup (or 2) of coffee with soymilk (no froth) and watched Home Alone. Such an x-mas classic. I had the last of my bag of dates too. Looks like I’ll need to make a grocery run this weekend, a date-less apartment is a no-no. I also started off my weekend cooking by baking some tofu. Drained and pressed tofu below. After an hour in the oven… Read more >

Yep, I have gone through 3 boxes of tissue in the last week…and my nose has paid the price. It’s red and raw and hurts! I’m still blowing my nose around the clock, too…when is this cold going to go away??? When I go outside it’s, like, 800 times worse, too! Frozen and chafed = bad bad combo. So I woke up this morning because I was unable to breathe out of my nose (again) so I immediately opted for some tea. I even held it right under my nose to let the steam’s vapor-like… Read more >

I actually woke up with a hop in my step today – how weird is that? At 5 am?! On a work day?! That’s not even normal for a morning person…let alone me. I think it’s because I wanted to be over my cold SOOO badly, I was trying to will it to happen. I felt a little better, still way sick, but at least I could walk to work without getting out of breath. I had a glass of tea before I left (this NEW kind). Green tea with acai and pomegranate…so good. Hopefully,… Read more >
