Get Your Good Going [giveaway]

There are certain morning rituals I have.  I set my clothes out the night before – the same way each time.  I also pack my lunch box the night before.  Every single day I work. When my alarm goes off, I never hit snooze, I get up and go.  Shower.  Scrubs.  ID badge.  Chapstick in my left pant pocket.  Pen in my right shirt pocket.  Coffee.  Breakfast.  Pills.  Off to the hospital. I park in the same spot.  I wait in the car until the same time.  And I sign up for the same break…. Read more >

Nutty pasta

Pasta!! I made this over a week ago, but the recipe is still worth sharing. Although “recipe” may not be the right word, since it’s a pretty loose formula. But I made the effort to photograph it, so dang it, I’m gonna freakin’ share it. Roasted nuts – brazil, pecans, cashews, almonds Basil Parsley Garlic infused olive oil Plain almond milk Nutritional yeast Sorry for the lack of measurements, but I was kinda playing mad chemist, throwing things in until I got the right amount. Unlike my previous pesto, this was a really thick one…. Read more >

Lake Almanor Weekend

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway.  Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends.    The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe.  Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >

Niece #3

I know I said I was heading out of town this weekend (I am), but I had to pop in to tell you two very awesome things.   I have a new niece!  Scarlett Alice was born in the wee early hours Friday morning.  Isn’t she precious.  :)  I love her to pieces already. The second is considerably less thrilling to everyone else, but I was pleased nonetheless.    This is my happy face after getting a call saying the unit was overstaffed for the night and I could have a holiday.  Wee!!  I was… Read more >
