Short and sweet

In the interest of…well…interest, this post is going to be super short.  Nothing remotely exciting happened today. 5 AM – I woke up to the annoying buzz, buzz, buzzzzzz of my alarm 7AM to 7 PM – Workface Please direct all questions about my lunch to your mom the comments section.  I doubt you’ll have any, it’s not like this was anything new… Oh wait, there was this: How’d that fatty sneak it’s way into my chickpeas????  The main thrill of the day was the medical staff appreciation mini-shindig thingy that the hospital hosted at… Read more >

Wacked out day

Today was more bizarre than George Whipple’s eyebrows. It started off normal – java with foam, you know… Then I had an apple.  Still fairly normal, right? Well, suddenly I felt beyond sick.  Like, go to the bathroom and wait for the puke to come.  Wha?!  I felt okay-ish if I remained supine (that’s lying flat for you non-medical peeps), but every time I tried to sit up, I felt like I was gonna heave-ho.  No bueno.  I’ve never felt so bizarre…like head-achy, dizzy, with some weakness, too.  Even though I’m a nurse, I really… Read more >

A rainy day with Jillian Michaels

Guess who’s turning 21 today!?!?!  My baby sister, Marie!!!  Somehow I am the shortest in my fam, even though I’m the oldest.  Boo. I can’t believe she’s turning 21.  She’ll always be 12 in my eyes.  I can’t wait for her to visit NYC in August – we are going to celebrate in a MAYJ way! In case you were wondering (since I was just wishing happy birthday for my , yes, my sissie-poo and my popsicle do have back to back birthdays.  Now, onto the food. Liquid AM.  Slosh slosh.  I used the above… Read more >

Avada Kedavra

My breakfast was a bit out of the ordinary. Coffee, normal.  Open faced grilled cheese, not normal?  On the side, I had two apples, which complimented the VeganRella mozz perrrrrfectly.  Crunch + melty = great (albeit bizarre) breakfast For lunch I made a tofu salad with a new twist on a fave recipe.  The last time I made this was a big success, so I recreated it, but with a few changes (less mayo, more tofu, brocc slaw instead of celery, shredded carrots instead of chopped). The result was just as successful.  I had it… Read more >
