Workity work. I was up with the cock-a-doodle-doo this morning…I’m not sure why, but for the fifth day in a row I woke up at 4 am on the dot (without my alarm even going off). Whatever. I dragged myself to the subway, and woke up a bit more along the way… What’s there to say. Work was work was work was work. I was craaaazy busy all day, but not really in a good way. I felt like I was in slow motion and I couldn’t get myself organized, which is so unlike me. Blah. … Read more >

Welllll…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 it’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, it’s a big part of my life. Or at least a part. Anyways, as I’ve mentioned before, I work in the cardiopulmonary critical care unit (CPCU), which is the… Read more >

(At the crack of AM) breakfast: Coffee. Froth. CranBran Vitatop. Off to work. Snack: Newman’s Own Organic Honey Wheat Pretzels I ate these all day long, and finished the whole bag myself. Addicting, for sure. I rarely buy pretz because of this very phenomenon. I especially loved this honey wheat flavor, though, because it has the perfect combination of salty and sweet – way better than regular pretzels. The huge salt crystals kinda ripped up the roof of my mouth though. I think that’s my issue though, not Newman’s Own. I swear I’ve gained 5… Read more >

I don’t think I need to explain the above title if you wasted your morning the same way I did tuned into the Real Housewives of NY. I was up at the crack of dawn thanks to a text message from Jess at 6 am. Awesome. Payback’s a bitch Jess, so prepare yourself for a 2 am drunk dial from the west coast this weekend… Needless to say I was jonesing for some caffeine shortly after. I messed the froth up on this one, but that’s what happens when you are brewing in the dark… Read more >

Sunday may as well have been re-named half marathon day. It’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past month. I could hardly sleep last night my nerves were going berserk. Even though I consider myself a runner, and I exercise regularly, training for a concrete event (13+ miles no less) is very different than simply running to get your endorphins flowing. The longest organized race I’ve ever participated in was a 10K, which I really really enjoyed. So I figured it was time to step up to the plate. Half marathon, here I come…. Read more >
