You guys are so sweet for sending me happy-sleepy-time thoughts…I wish I could say it worked :( After my seriously deficient shut-eye on Monday night, I was SO optimistic about getting to sleep extra early…I was all tucked in by 10 pm, ready to snooze the night away. With my alarm set for 5 am, I thought 7 hours would be decent enough to get me through my first day back at work. Talk about wishful thinking!! I fell right asleep, only to wake up at 11:00 confused as all hell. Only an HOUR passed!?! Grrrr… … Read more >

Wanna see how my Maui meals have been going…well, I have about 4.7% of my eats captured on film, so I’ll let you be the judge of that. We eat at restaurants more often than not, so I am in serious need of a detox. Processed foods have been in abundance, despite my best attempts to minimize them. And even with mega planning ahead of time, vegan options tend to be poor at best. One of the things I realized here is how unavoidable processed foods is. Sad :( Even with my organic-loving, health-conscious, family,… Read more >

My lovely middle sis, Laura, is the only member of the Hippie fam that couldn’t make it to Hawaii (miss you Laur!)…so she’s steppin’ up to the plate with the food blog. Laura hearts grubbin’ just as much as her big sis, so it’s no surprise her food will make you drool a bit, too. Unlike me, she does enjoy meat (and other animal products), but she’s also a big fan of all veggies, beans, and grains. So without further ado, here’s my FIRST guest blogger: I think Elise has been trying to get me… Read more >

I slept in like a mo-fo today. Guess the day full of flying and the changes in time zones, etc. caught up to me, and I just needed to get in the zzzzz’s. I started the day like I always do..coffee and silk…while I opened my accumulated mail. Coupons, coupons, and and more coupons (and another wedding invitation). Then I got crackin’ on breakfast. I went old school with my oats. Straight up. Nothin’ fancy. Sometimes I just crave the simple things in life. That held me over pretty well, but I may have had… Read more >

WDE. (I’m in a TLA mood). For those who aren’t too UTD… Translations: worst day ever, three letter acronym, up to date But in order to preserve my sanity I will do minimal venting here. Remember the same horrible co-worker I b$%^ched about a few months ago? Well, he’s AGAIN up to his evil, sly, scheming ways, and since his lazy apathetic nursing care was compromising the patients, I was forced to do my work AND his just to make sure certain people didn’t die. AHHHHHHHHH!!! I could have killed him. I have never sworn… Read more >
