my nose is froze!

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 >

just chillin

I woke up at 7 am and then went back to sleep…next thing I know it’s nearly noon! Eek. I don’t know why I should feel guilty, but I do. No matter – today is my last day of chillin’ before returning to work tomorrow.So here’s the first morning coffee…sitting on the window ledge while I blog and watch t.v. And then below (after I woke up a little bit more) is my whole AM spread. Self, Shape, and Vegetarian Times magazines with a steamy mug full of caffeine love. Nothing better!Gym time. Elliptical for… Read more >

up up and away (to europe)

FINALLY the day is here! We leave for Europe today!! Woohoo.Java load! Much needed since Kyle got back from Brazil at 6 in the morning, so I was up by 7. I have been basically clearing out the fridge, but this morning I had to suck it up and go out and get some food. I got a bag of grapes because they looked so good – plus, I figured if I didn’t finish them I could always freeze them (but, of course it didn’t come to that, since I clearly ate them all). I… Read more >

not just the same old salad

I woke up to rain and cloudy skies, so I just wanted to stay in my PJ’s all day long. Too bad for me, Kyle doesn’t feel the same way about what proper rainy day activities are. Fortunately the rain seemed to clear up in the afternoon, so we managed to salvage most of what we were planning for the day. Step 1: Caffeine, asap (bowling ball design).Step 2: More caffeine (cherry design)Step 3: Gym. I gymed it hard. I was struggling too, but I gotta get my butt in gear, so I pushed through….

Election Day

I hope everyone votes today (I did)! I got to sleep in today (no work) but I had big plans. I switched my closet with Kyle’s, which was a FAR bigger task than I thought it would be (it actually took me all day). While I was doing all that housekeeping I was vigilently watching CNN as they tracked the election. Exciting!!! On to the food… It should be no surprise that I used my froth machine to create a cup of delicious coffee with foamy milk. And as usual, I tried to make some… Read more >
