I love Will Ferrell.  After yesterday’s mega sleep in, today I was back to the same routine…I had the day off, but still woke up early.  I read in bed for a bit, but soon enough, my stomach said “feed me,” so I obliged with a steamy cup of joe and toasted Ezek english muffin with Earth Balance melted and lathered on to the max.  A repeat of yesterday, with soy milk and my new SF vanilla syrup. This picture reminds me of snow white…I feel like I’m the witch offering a poisoned apple.  … Read more >

the key to my heart

…is carob 🙂 I definitely went overboard with the carob today – it’s just SO good, I can’t help it.  Whatever.  It’s healthy, right?  It’s all veggiegirl’s fault!  Honestly, if I ever got my hands on a bag of carob chips (like Erin did) lord help me! Heading in to work on Monday morning was a little depressing.  Everyone else is on DAY 3 of the weekend, but I’m on DAY 3 of WORKING…I know my work schedule generally rocks, so I shouldn’t be complaining, but it’s still sad when I know everyone else is… Read more >

T.G.I.W.ednesday

Today was a slowwwwww day, but it was a good one.  Work was nice, some funny stories (maybe I’ll share one later), but altogether a mellow day.  No complaints.  I woke up at 4 am (a la Erin) completely on my own, alert and awake, so I embraced it!  I’m sayin’ I obviously arrived at Starbeezies way early (like 6ish) so I enjoyed the AM crossword and my book (Me & Emma) – which is soooo good btw.  Totally hooked. So, funny story:  Sometimes we get ER patients in the middle of the night since… Read more >

It’s too cold for a clever title

Today was a totally snack-y day.  I didn’t even really do meals, I was just grazing all day long.  That’s the bad part about about having days off when the weather is only 15 degrees outside.  I broke the fast with a HUGE glass of chocolate soymilk followed by a CHOCOLATE loaded coffee.  This stuff is THICK and sooooo good.  I am normally a silk soymilk girl, but this was on sale so I decided to give it a shot.  Man, was I in heaven.  It took all self control to not chug the entire… Read more >

Sleeveless running

The weather cracked into the 40s today, time to celebrate!  I was so happy when I woke up, it was sunny out and I had the day off to enjoy the nice weather outside. Here’s my morning cup of joe…along with some figs, carob covered raisins, and the crossword.  Talk about starting the day off right.  Since I woke up earlier than usual, I got hungry earlier than usual, so I made some french toast that I doused in Earth Balance. This whole wheat Alvarado Street bread is good, maybe even better than the California… Read more >
