coconut date rolls

working Easter weekend

On the way to work I was debating how embarrassing it would be to puke on the subway…after weighing my options, I boarded the train.  No, it wasn’t the current economic situation or the fact that we are supposed to be saving for a wedding that forced me to go to work (although it didn’t help), it was the knowledge that by suffering through a 12 hour shift while your insides were in a deep turmoil was actually preferable to moving.  In case you couldn’t tell by my last few posts, I HATE MOVING.  I… Read more >

Trying to move

Well timing couldn’t have been worse for moving day to arrive.  I woke up in agony.  My stomach was still rioting, my head was spinning, and my body couldn’t keep up with all the drama.  I tried to stand up and make my way to the living room and nearly collapsed (and by “nearly” I mean “actually”, since I did in fact collapse but the couch broke my fall). So that’s how the cable guys found me.  Sprawled out on the couch in my PJs, looking like I had just returned from an overnight rave… Read more >

Oh, it hit the fan alright!

I apologize for being away (I missed you all, even if you didn’t notice I was gone, haha).  These past few days have been insane.  I can’t even begin to try to condense it into a blog-worthy Cliff’s notes version.  So… (a) I was working a LOT – gotta get the cash flow to pay those billz, yo! (b) A patient stroked out RIGHT before I was supposed to head out on my lunch break (the blogger meet up, no less) – ahhhhhh!  I hate to say which part of that last sentence disappointed me… Read more >

Happy Birthday Kyle!

This is gonna be snappy because I’m tired and grumpy. AM: I made some java with silk and sf vanilla syrup…which I sipped while doing some mega apartment cleaning. I had an apple for a mid-morning snack. Thrilling, I know. And then the fun began…that’s right, I’m talking March Madness!!! A few quarters under way, I got lunch ready. I spread some plain greek yogurt and red pepper hummus on a whole wheat tortilla, then added in spinach, shredded carrots, and baked tofu (more from yesterday’s batch), with lots of CURRY on top. I don’t… Read more >

back into the (vegan) swing of things…

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 >
