Roland Garros

After the luck we were struck down with on the RER commute to Versailles, our trust in Paris’ train system wasn’t great.  And since Laura would rather self-amputate her defective toes than miss part of a tennis match, we were out of the gate excessively early.  I think Wozniaki herself slept in longer than we did. Once caffeine and carbs were had, we were off to Roland Garros. Weee! Having been to the US Open before, I knew tennis fever was going to hit me the second we stepped into the stadium.  [Who am I… Read more >

Sitting for six

After my string of night shifts, I simply wanted to sleep and veg out all day.  So that’s what I did.  I didn’t leave the apartment.  I didn’t even change out of my pajamas.    Normally I feel at least a little bit of pressure to work out, especially since I’m supposedly “training” for a triathlon.  But I didn’t.  It’s rare that I don’t have feelings of guilt for being a sloth – which is something I’m always working on.  I am a firm believer that guilt is a pointless emotion.  Being healthy means being… Read more >

The tally

Elise 1.  Night shift 1. Monday’s night shift was fine.  But last night’s had a few hiccups.  It started off well enough (same patients, same routine) but after my lunch sleeping break at 3 am, I got busy.  Downside: One of my patients decided to stop breathing (which is never good). Upside: The hours between 3 and 6 am FLEW by.   Leading up to work I had a nice day.  After biking back from work, I showered and crawled into bed, where I promptly dozed off for a solid four hours. When I woke… Read more >

Vegan in Paris

Before I post about my last day in Paris, I wanted to take a brief moment to share all the research I did prior to visiting this gorgeous city.  Paris, oh Paris, where to begin.  With your ham and cheese filled cuisine and head-strong chefs, it’s no wonder vegans find themselves in deep water when dining in your fair city.    There are a few exceptions though…you just have to do your research. [And be with fellow travelers that are ok with doing the veggie thing]  While I personally didn’t go out of my way to… Read more >

It would be nice, if you made me rice.

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband.  I may have to show it to you later.  :)  Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine.  It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit.  Dude.  I am so bummed about these lame nectarines.  From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >
