Green goop

In true Sesame Street style, today was sponsored by the colors GREEN and ORANGE.  I didn’t realize it until I was posting these photos, but there’s a real trend going on in my eats from today. Breks was caffeine and fruit.  After the booze infusion that was this weekend, I was thinking of doing something detox-y, but then I remembered that my normal eats ARE mostly just that.  So, onward ho!  I was happy to get back to my froth love.  Coffee just isn’t the same when I don’t get my own non-milk stevia on. … Read more >

California quickie

This morning I woke up before 7 am sans alarm (???).  I tried to get back into REM, but my body wasn’t having it.  Oh well.  I did have a few errands to run, so I washed & brushed and headed out… By the time I got back to my apartment it was 7:15 and I had already tackled 2/3 of my day’s to-do list!!  Then I looked down at my outfit. Note to self: do NOT leave the apartment when you’ve had less than 5 hours of sleep…I looked like some disastrous combination of… Read more >

Chickpea guac – a stroke of genius!

I arrived at work today to find out we were overstaffed on our unit, and as the lowest RN on the totem pole, I was the sucker that had to float to a different floor.  Work FAIL.

Welcome to the Neuro… Read more >

pizza and ice cream

At the risk of sounding insensitive, is anyone else really sick of all this Michael Jackson coverage?  I loved the king of pop just as much as the next person, but excessive coverage has come and gone…at this point, it is borderline hideous.  What ever happened to just having a moment of silence to show your respect? Rather than undergo 20 minutes of channel flipping to avoid the aforementioned topic, my tivo (aka Kathy Griffin) came to the rescue. As did Starbucks’ gazebo blend 🙂 Can I help it if I crave sweets for breakfast? … Read more >

Meet my (other) sister!

After Laura did a guest post, I knew it was only a matter of time before I got Marie on board… She’s my other sister, the youngest of the hippie clan (the one my mom lovingly tattooed with sunscreen in Maui).  Although she has been spending the summer “studying,” don’t feel TOO bad for her.  She’s about to enter her senior year in college.  Oh, and did I mention, she lives ON the beach.  Literally.  Rough life.  Those were the days… Anyways, without further ado, Marie, take it away! Seeing as how we are a… Read more >
