Break relief nursing

On my unit we have break relief nurses who come in from 11:45 to 5:15 and cover nurses (two at a time) for their hour long lunch breaks.  We sign up for time slots at the beginning of the work day starting at 1200.  I usually try and get one of the 1300 breaks because noon is too early, but I would be starving with any of the later options.  The last one is at 1600.  Anyway, since we use our own staff to work that shift, it’s a pretty seamless transition.  It’s a good… Read more >

To Your Health!

I wish someone could have heard the conversation Kyle and I had on the way home from this dinner.  “What does A Votre Sante mean anyway?” “I think it’s another Saint.” “No, that’s not right.” “Maybe twenty something?” “Maybe something sane?” “No.” “Hmmm…” “Is it French?” “Latin?” “No idea.” “Well, I give up.” “We’ll look it up when we get home.” “Okay.” No seriously.  We are really dumb when it comes to languages outside of English and Spanish (I can see Kyle rolling his eyes right now saying “speak for yourself”).  Truthfully, all I can… Read more >

Ruby Hill winery wedding

This recap is mostly for Laura, since she is [back] in South America, and was therefore unable to join us in celebrating.    The new Mr. and Mrs.! Not that there’s much to report from the morning leading up to the wedding…but I do feel like I should back up a bit.  For Laura’s sake.  The hippie household was in a scramble situation leading up to the main event. Marie went out Saturday night and was in too hung over of a state to get to my parents house until just before we left. My… Read more >

Super simple granola

Yesterday I promised you quite a few posts… This one probably whet your appetite the most.  And rightfully so. I’ve already perfected quinoa granola before, so how does this one differ?  Well, it’s lighter for one.  The ingredients list is shorter, too. Granola is awesome.  You just raid your pantry, throw everything in a bowl, and the rest sorts itself out in the oven.  Or you could follow this recipe… Sweet almond and quinoa granola Ingredients: 2 cup whole rolled oats 1 cup quinoa (uncooked) 1 cup almonds, slivered 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup… Read more >

It’s true what they say

“Home is where the heart is” Yup.  It’s true.  Lucky for me, I consider both the Bay Area AND Santa Monica “home.”  So even though it was a total joy to spend the weekend with my parents and sister, I’m glad to be back with Kyle.  Win win.  Eventually I will recap the wedding in more detail (so fun!), but for now, I’m trying to get organized for work tomorrow (reality check…wah wah). I had leftovers from Patxi’s for Saturday brunch.  I had baby carrots a la mode because I enjoy fiber.   Even day… Read more >
