As I have mentioned before, my (future) in-laws are completely supportive and respectful of my vegan lifestyle. So much so, that they did research before we headed to Vancouver and had a perfect lunch spot all picked out. Gorilla Food is right near Waterfront (where the Olympic rings and torch is), so we took the Skytrain there and then walked the few blocks to the restaurant. Cute no? Despite the tree going through the ceiling, the atmosphere was cozy and the staff was really friendly (like the rest of the Canadians we encountered). The lady… Read more >

Before you all have collective heart attacks, no, I did NOT get sh!t faced while doing my nurse thang. However, Saturday night WAS the cardiac surgery holiday party (aka open bar on the MDs tab). Unfortunately for yours truly, I still had to work my 12 hour shift on Saturday…as well as the next day (Sunday). Boo! I can think of about 15,000 other things I’d rather do after work than put on a dress and pretend that I feel pretty while I’m covered in a patient’s ventilator spew and C. diff. Oh, and did… Read more >
