Before you all have collective heart attacks, no, I did NOT get sh!t faced while doing my nurse thang. However, Saturday night WAS the cardiac surgery holiday party (aka open bar on the MDs tab). Unfortunately for yours truly, I still had to work my 12 hour shift on Saturday…as well as the next day (Sunday). Boo! I can think of about 15,000 other things I’d rather do after work than put on a dress and pretend that I feel pretty while I’m covered in a patient’s ventilator spew and C. diff. Oh, and did… Read more >

Work it bay-bay. My pre-packed food included: THREE bars (PB cookie Larabar, Chocolate Brownie Z bar, and a Peanut Toffee Buzz Clif bar) TWO apples …and a partridge in a pear tree ONE ginorm salad Like an onion, this sh!t had layers and layers: steamed kale, broccoli, BN squash, cannellini bean, cherry toms, and raisins – I added Bragg’s apple cider & liquid AA’s to it, too. The spelt pretzels were the perf accompaniment (as anything with salt is). For the record, I skipped my AM starbeezies and brought my own tea bags (and I… Read more >

I blasted music from the Nutcracker all morning long, and it actually made the horrible weather not seem so bad. I’ll have to remember that trick for the future… Frothy coffee and an english muffin stuffed with peanut butter helped, too. But what REALLY warmed my heart was all your sweet comments on my weighty post. You guys are so awesome. Seriously. It’s always nerve racking to put yourself out there, but I am continually amazed by the overwhelmingly supportive and positive comments. Gah. You guys are too much! Anyways, after breks, I cuddled up… Read more >

It’s no wonder people are scared of their significant other’s parents; with movies like Meet the Parents, in-laws get a pretty bad rap. Fortunately for me, this stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth. I just got back from a weekend+ getaway with Kyle’s family and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining his family than if they were the sole heirs to the Whole Foods chain. Not only are they amazingly accepting of my vegan lifestyle, but they go above and beyond to accommodate it, to the point of straight up spoiling me!… Read more >

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Quite frankly, I delayed writing this post because I felt like everyone else’s thanksgiving eats were way more blog-worthy (and there were a LOT of them). Plus, I didn’t get home from work until after 8 pm and all I wanted to do at that point was put on my PJs, watch football (slash Home Alone), and stuff my face (not in that order). On a holiday such as this, it would feel weird to eat before giving thanks, and so I feel as though I should acknowledge what I’m grateful for… Read more >
