Am I behind?

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 šŸ™‚ Moving on.  Guess what today is!?!  Give up?… Read more >

ICUā€¦and I raise you!

Welllllā€¦this weekend was pretty intense.  I worked.  I saved lives.  Literally. I try not to go into too much detail about my job (a) because of the whole patient privacy thing and (b) because I have a feeling itā€™s not very thrilling to read about.  But sometimes I wish I could share all the crazy things I see and do on a daily basis because, well, itā€™s a big part of my life.  Or at least a part. Anyways, as Iā€™ve mentioned before, I work in the cardiopulmonary critical care unit (CPCU), which is the… Read more >

Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!!  Did everyone do something nice and green today?  I contacted my hospitalā€™s big-wigs to beg ask about an initiative promoting biking to work (and requesting to get a small protected room to store the staff hippiesā€™ bikes).  Cā€™mon Beth Israel, get green!!  This is something I have been trying to get going for a while, so now that the weather is getting nice, and in honor of Earth Day, I figured an extra push may be well received.  Weā€™ll seeā€¦ You know how I rocked it out this morningā€¦with a cuppa joe… Read more >

Sleeveless running

The weather cracked into the 40s today, time to celebrate!  I was so happy when I woke up, it was sunny out and I had the day off to enjoy the nice weather outside. Hereā€™s my morning cup of joeā€¦along with some figs, carob covered raisins, and the crossword.  Talk about starting the day off right.  Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance. This whole wheat Alvarado Street bread is good, maybe even better than the California… Read more >

Whatā€™s with my math?

blue sky + sun ā€“ clouds = snow?  Wait.  That canā€™t be right, can it?  Apparently.  I DONā€™T understand how this east coast weather works.  Anyhoo, sā€™up kiddos!  Today was a mill times better than yesterday.  Thank you all for your sweet words of encouragementā€¦lord knows I needed it today ā€“ heading in to work on the weekend (BOO).  I decided to skip the ā€˜bucks this morning since I woke up earlier than I needed to and my stomach was relentlessly demanding ā€œfeed me.ā€  I made my own cafe and silk-ed it up big time,… Read more >
