Paper Gangster

I am so sick of signing waivers, forms, consents, and agreements, I just want to start nursing! This morning I woke up bright and early to head to HR (again) for paperwork (again).  I did manage to cross two things off my to-do list before hitting the road (I wish one of those things had been “pack up an extra cup of coffee for the road” because this was definitely a two cup kind of day…).  I ended up stopping at Starbucks (shock).  And of course I had an apple on stand by (shock).  … Read more >

Tens

Happy 10/10/10 to all my fellow number lovin’ freaks 🙂 Friday Kyle & I headed up to the Bay Area to spend the weekend with my fam.  Saturday was harvest at my fam’s vineyard. and the Cal v. UCLA football game.  And today, Sunday, we are heading back to So Cal. Here are some pics from the weekend, some food, some not. Eats for the I-5 Cheerios, raw nuts, pumpkin seeds, carob chips, and raisins. PB & Jizzle (ew?) & Gingerfizzle (so glad Synergy Kombucha is BACK!!!) K-Sizzle (ok, I’ll quit it with the -izzles now…)… Read more >
