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 >

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 >

If I had to design a perfect birthday weekend, I definitely wouldn’t include two days of work. Unfortunately, my boss didn’t agree. I guess I can’t really complain about it though, since I just got back from a week vacay in CA. I was totally prepared with a buncha pre-packed food. Fruit, of the dried persuasion, included mango and pear slices, as well as a strawberry chewy-thingy (Nike race freebie), while fresh fruit was limited to a smallish apple. I also bar-ed it up with the Blueberry Crisp flavored Clif, and a Cashew Cookie Larabar. … Read more >

Yes, there is a giveaway at the end of this post. And yes, it’s sweet. But before you get to that, you have to endure my birthday ramblings. First of all, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday the other day. It was so amazing to be bombarded with your lovely comments – I definitely felt the blog love. My coffee was feeling it too. I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Hmmm…that’s odd, who in their right mind is thrilled to be older? (whatever…I’ll go with… Read more >

Sunday morning started just like Saturday – I was off to work before the clock chimed 6. My lunch was similar to Saturday’s too. Let’s see if you can identify the differences? Kidding! That’s way too much effort. Instead, I’ll just tell you. Same salad. Different bars. Today’s snacks included: Clif’s MoJo Dipped PB&J, Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, dried fruit (mango and pears), and fresh fruit (apple and pear). Sometimes I wake up with my stomach growling, but other days, I don’t actually get hungry for hours. And weirder yet, sometimes I eat a meal… Read more >
