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 >

You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!? Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green. And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make. We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point? Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea… Read more >

Love how detailed my weekend plans were? When you have no agenda, it’s pretty easy to stick to it…coffee, check. B-fast, check. Alvarado street bread toasted with greek yog and “egg” on top. I lazed the AM away watching the Real Housewives of NYC, while Kyle rolled his eyes and made sarcastic remarks throughout(sometimes crap TV is the best way to start the weekend). Clearly Bethanny is going to continue to provide the majority of the show’s entertainment for the second season, too. Apparently, my breakfasts even get their own desserts now! Crunch! I… Read more >

I woke up to another day of ick weather. It’s so hard to get excited for the day when you know it’s going to be spent mostly indoors. But then I found a surprise PACKAGE at the door!!! What could it be…?? The wonderful people over at I.M. Healthy sent me my FAVE soynut butter, both creamy AND chocolate flavors! I LOVE this stuff!! Since you all have been asking about soynut butter, now you can see this amazing product, and go out and get it, to try it first hand. It’s the perfect combination… Read more >

And it’s NOT pretty…it may be the worst smell ever. No. It’s definitely the worst smell ever. Yep, I just conducted a study. 9 out of 10 researchers agreed with me (I think the 10th guy was sleeping with the drug rep). I may be off “egg” products for a while because of this… Lunch Same sammie as ayer (bell pepps, “turkey,” greek yog, and hummus) Plus the usual side-kicks, along with a NEWBIE (and new obsession). Dude, figs and carob covered raisins = heaven. Holy yum, talk about a party in my mouth!! I… Read more >
