Kombucha

Everything-in-the-fridge salad

After such a crazy day of traveling, I was looking forward to sleeping in to catch up on my zzzs.  I had NO idea that by not setting an alarm, I’d end up snoozing half the day away!  I woke up at 11:30!  I don’t think I’ve slept in that much since my post college month year of “figuring things out.” Kyle and I stumbled out onto the couch still in a sleepy stupor…and made a huge pot of coffee to remedy that. Clearly I’m out of practice in the frothing department.  There was a… Read more >

Hungry Tiger

**I’m not sure why, but I’m having tech related issues…update your google reader feeds to  http://hungryhungryhippie.com/feed/ If you know what the title of this post means, I’m sorry.  Ha Ha. But that’s what I felt like (again) today.  I had 4 meals (not snacks, meals) AFTER dinner alone. OK, so back to the beginning… Hump day started off with an early morning wake up call.  Someone’s gotta save lives. To get me going, I went with a Trilogy Kombucha.  This is my FAVE flavor by far.  Mmmm… I had packed my lunch before, but it… Read more >

raindrops on roses & whiskers on kittens

Now that’s it’s “summer” we have been sleeping with the bedroom windows open, but the thunder and lightning were so INSANE last night, I had to channel my inner Von Trapp and sing “My Favorite Things” to calm myself down…it was scary! It woke me up it was so loud.  And just so you know, normally I sleep like a rock, so this was no joke. Clearly I had a rough night’s sleep – enter coffee 🙂 These are a few of my favorite things… Peach chobz (not as good as blueberry) and a bowl… Read more >

Balance act, tipsy

I have no clue why, but my appetite was out of control today.  It was as if I ran a marathon and couldn’t seem to get in enough kcals to replenish.  The only problem: I didn’t run a marathon.  In fact, I didn’t exercise Sat or Sun because I worked (12 hour shifts are not conducive to gym-ing).  I never really pay attention to balancing calories on days I exercise, even if I have really intensely active days, because typically my body tells me what to do.  If my tummy wants more, I give it… Read more >

Enough salads already

Up at 5.  Out the door in under 30.  Not a record, but not too shabby either. I got to downtown way earlier than usual, so the bucks wasn’t open yet (eek!)…good thing I had Bruno’s to the rescue.  I’ve raved before, so my love for this tiny place is no secret, a small steamy coffee turned that frown upside down 🙂 Here’s my latest read.  I heart David Sedaris!  Makes the loss of express trains on the weekends somewhat tolerable.  I managed to avoid the local trains today, so all was good. Anyways, I… Read more >
