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 >

After such a crazy day of traveling, I was looking forward to sleeping in to catch up on my zzzs. I had NO idea that by not setting an alarm, I’d end up snoozing half the day away! I woke up at 11:30! I don’t think I’ve slept in that much since my post college month year of “figuring things out.” Kyle and I stumbled out onto the couch still in a sleepy stupor…and made a huge pot of coffee to remedy that. Clearly I’m out of practice in the frothing department. There was a… Read more >

Aloha :( (that means goodbye, too, right?) We left Maui today (tear) to head back to the real world (aka the main land). There were more than a few blah things about these flights, but I’ll avoid going all Debbie Downer on you – and just list a couple… (1) I couldn’t bring produce with me…no fun and (2) I knew I was heading back to work, and leaving my stress free days on the beach behind. The one positive was that I had Kyle with me for the lonnnnnng flights. Java. Check. Not pictured:… 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 >

Maui is hot (both in terms of temperature AND general bossy-ness). Love it. I don’t even mind the humidity, which adds 8 inches in horizontal volume to my pookie hair. I’ve been having issues getting on track with the time changes. Passing out by 10 pm, napping throughout the day (so not like me), while still waking up at 6 am (more like me). My body is so confused. If a picture could summarize my trip thus far, the above photo is a pretty good depiction. Here are a few more: We did a… Read more >
