Sundays = the end of the weekend SAD! Unfortunately, this Sunday was especially blah. The cloudy, overcast weather pretty much reflected how I felt. Enter caffeine love. In the interest of preserving my current mood, I’m going to stop reflecting on yesterday’s thoughts…just know I was kinda a Debbie Downer all day. I’m not sure why, as there was no true reason I should feel gloomy – I was just stuck in a funk. Blueberry chobz + dried papaya spears + apple slices + melon = pretty fruity breakfast! After my AM sugar loading, I… Read more >

I slept in forever today! Initially, I got up at 8, but decided a few more minutes of shut-eye couldn’t hurt…next thing I know, it’s 10 am!! Whoa, I can’t even remember the last time I slept in that late. Generally I feel like I’m starting off the day behind when I miss so much of the morning, but to be honest, getting in the extra zzzz’s today felt glorious. Coffee + crossword = happy grandpa Elise Newman’s Own organic raisins are gooey and I like it. I drowned a few handfuls in my strawberry… Read more >

My parents went to pick out our new puppy yesterday! I say “our” but I don’t live at home anymore, so it’s really theirs. But since it took over 3 months for all 5 family members to agree on the name, it’s safe to say it’s the family puppy. We had a German Shepherd when I was growing up, too. So we really wanted another. My mom holding Milo. Could he BE any cuter??? He’s only 4 weeks old now, so we have to wait ‘til he’s a bit older (and no longer breast… 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 >

I thought it was Friday all day…so confused. Whatever, Thursday means The Office, so it’s all good. 5 AM. Frothed me some coffee…and then I was off to work! Since I was running crazy late, I had this little baby on the way to work. For the record, I do NOT enjoy eating on the subway, especially when I’m drenched from my rainy mad dash to the station. As usual, I made my lunch the night before to bring to work, which included a hugh jass salad of spinach, brocc slaw, shredded carrots, cherry… Read more >
