up up and away (to europe)

FINALLY the day is here! We leave for Europe today!! Woohoo.Java load! Much needed since Kyle got back from Brazil at 6 in the morning, so I was up by 7. I have been basically clearing out the fridge, but this morning I had to suck it up and go out and get some food. I got a bag of grapes because they looked so good – plus, I figured if I didn’t finish them I could always freeze them (but, of course it didn’t come to that, since I clearly ate them all). I… Read more >

48 hours (more or less)

I am beyond words excited for this vacation. Only one more day! Coffee!! I went to the gym for an elliptical sesh. It was raining so I was kinda in a yuck mood. Basically, I just wanted to get my work out over with asap. I made some lunch after: soy noodles, edamame, teriyake flavored tofu **and JUST for some extra crunch I added Garden of Eatin’ tortilla chips on top Look at the multitasking going on here – crosswording while grubbing. Could life BE any better? Then I spent forever trying to catch up… Read more >

the perfect day

I woke up before my alarm went off at 9 am, but then once I turned on the light and the tv, I nodded back off right away. I kept waking up for brief seconds but just couldn’t seem to keep my eyes open. Finally, by 11 I dragged myself to the kitchen to start the coffee. I kinda overflowed my mug! (no design today) I did some housework while munching on strawberry o’soy yogurt and an apple for brunch. I still have a bunch of I’s to dot and T’s to cross before leaving… Read more >

out on the town

Time for a new starbucks coffee blend – flavor flave!!! Today was my first taste of the serena organic blend. Quite good.Swirly froth that I enjoyed while watching an old episode of the view (yeah tivo). After 2 cups Uncle Matt called and we decided to meet up at Battery Park for the boat cruise to Liberty Island. I took the subway downtown to Chambers and walked the rest of the way along the water. I thought it was a good idea, but when I got west enough, I quickly realized the wind had a… Read more >
