How was your night?

Mine was fabulous.  Kyle may or may not kill me for posting that picture.  But it’s worth it.  I had to show you all how adorbz my beau is! Getting serenaded while eating an apple/cinnamon dessert on the late night – is there a better way to spend your Friday night?  I think not. But back to the AM. Breakfast of champions indeed.  I really tested my stomach’s expansion ability with this one.  First of all that coffee mug was the size of my head (and I had 2 of ‘em filled to the brim),… Read more >

ABC

Apple, Blog, Coffee that is.  As if my hospital-less days would start any other way… Hope you guys liked the froth tutorial.  This alphabetical brekkie got me through a tivo-ed Gossip Girl episode (followed by a dance party in my PJs to Lady GaGa) and many many blogs, but eventually I needed a course two. A [me] & goji bowl of deliciousness filled (my tummy’s) void.  Shortly after I digested, I threw on some clothes, got my hair did, beautified my face, and hit the road to get some errands done.  Runway ready?  FO SHO….

“The thing about food is…”

Back to work already?!  Weekends go by too fast, but at least Monday meant the return of my K-love. You know the drill.  Fruit (dried and fresh), Clif bars (seasonal and Z), pretz, and tupperware filled “entrees.” I recently bought these spelt pretzels from WFs, and although I was nervous about straying from my Newman’s protein pretz, I like trying new things.  The verdict?  Good, but different.  I think I liked them, but sometimes (like when I’m starving at work) any carb will do.  I’ll have to try them again when I’m not running on… Read more >

Lessons

Here are just a few lessons I learned that were reinforced today. 1.  I crash and burn without my “me time” (aka days off).  Feel me K? I was in a beezy of a mood all day today (come to think of it, I’d say I’m going on day 3 now).  Even one of the male (read: unobservant) NPs on the floor noticed and asked me point blank what was wrong, and told me I seemed down.  Shoot.  So much for my poker face.  He then asked me if I was “chemical” which was so… Read more >

Just add peanut butter

I had probably THE worst night last night.  “Que paso” you ask?  Well, the abbreviated version goes something like this: boy catches cold, cold causes hideous symptoms, symptoms keep girl up all night, girl sleeps on couch.  Boo.  I stumbled back into the bedroom after Kyle left for work, and (fortunately) managed to fall back asleep.  Unfortunately, I unknowingly turned off my alarm somewhere in the bed-to-couch-to-bed process.  I woke up just before noon, very confused, and very annoyed.  I immediately got to work on a very frothy cup of coffee and a very cinnamon-y… Read more >
