Here are just a few lessons I learned that were reinforced today. 1. I crash and burn without my “me time” (aka days off). Feel me K? I was in a beezy of a mood all day today (come to think of it, I’d say I’m going on day 3 now). Even one of the [...]

I had quite extensive pre-packed work eats. Check out the holiday flavored bars I FINALLY tracked down. I was soooo excited to try the Iced Gingerbread Clif bar AND the Spooky S’mores Z bar. They were both excellent. Sugary, but amazing. Seasonal bars still don’t make up for the nast weather though. For dinner, I [...]

“Please put on your own oxygen mask before assisting another.” In nursing school, they taught us we had to take care of ourselves before we could take care of others. Sometimes, I forget that advice, and sometimes, it just isn’t possible. Last night my ailing fiancé went to bed really early (we’re talking before the [...]

I had probably THE worst night last night. “Que paso” you ask? Well, the abbreviated version goes something like this: boy catches cold, cold causes hideous symptoms, symptoms keep girl up all night, girl sleeps on couch. Boo. I stumbled back into the bedroom after Kyle left for work, and (fortunately) managed to fall back [...]

If I had to design a perfect birthday weekend, I definitely wouldn’t include two days of work. Unfortunately, my boss didn’t agree. I guess I can’t really complain about it though, since I just got back from a week vacay in CA. I was totally prepared with a buncha pre-packed food. Fruit, of the dried [...]

Yes, there is a giveaway at the end of this post. And yes, it’s sweet. But before you get to that, you have to endure my birthday ramblings. First of all, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday the other day. It was so amazing to be bombarded with your [...]

Looks like I brought the sunny CA weather back East with me, huh? Let’s hope it lasts. My camera died mid-lunch prep, so only 75% of my pre-packed eats are shown below. Ellie’s presents came in handy with my lunch prep. First up, the Tokyo Seaweed Salad, which I chose because I had extra Arame [...]

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city [...]
