My latte brings all the boys to the yard

I have some catching up to do!  Rewind to Friday AM: It was as if Kyle timed his return from Brazil perfectly with my sunrise barista session.  As soon as the froth was poured, who came strutting through the doorway?  My long lost fiancé South American traveler!  His flight got in from Sao Paolo soopah early, so we got to enjoy breks together.  Figures his arrival would be perfectly timed with my cooking coffee. I needed caffeine before things start to click, so after one cup of java, I was AAOx3 (nursing joke, sorry). Fruity… Read more >

PURE food and fun

Friday’s dinner deserves it’s own post. I don’t think there are words nearly adequate enough to describe the night I had.  Not only was the company delightful, but the meal – OMG – I could go on about it for hours (which I did, much to Kyle’s delight).  Just looking at the pictures now, I am having flashbacks with a Pavlovian type response. Drool! I met up with the one and only Miss VeggieGirl on Friday night too excited for words…her pimpa$$ hotel was within walking distance of PURE so we ended up only moderately… 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 >

It’s my *lunch* in a box

Work day = Packed lunch.  Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who brings lunch to work.  I don’t get it!?  There are a few things that baffle me about this, the first being the price of buying food on a daily basis.  Sure, I can understand a treat once in a while, but every day?  That adds up!  Second, I don’t understand how people can leave their house without any preparation should they get hungry.  I know I have a job unlike most other people.  I don’t have the luxury of choosing when… Read more >
