In case you want a visual image with the post title, as you say it picture me snapping my fingers across my body with some serious sass. And now roll your eyes. Ah well, we can’t all be divas. Nonetheless, my week’s work eats have been nothing short of amazing. From drab… To fab. 🙂 On top of the quinoa, I chopped up the fattest pear I’ve ever seen (I’m not even exaggerating, it was a beastly looking fruit), and then some crushed cashews. Not just plain cashews though. I put them in a baggy,… Read more >

Here’s the line-up (the photo shows the eats in chronological order of consumption). And here’s the hourly breakdown… 7:30 pm – I pack the above eats for work. 8:30 pm – In an attempt to get back on track, I tuck into the covers extra early. 4:14 am – My alarm goes off and Kyle lovingly nudges shoves me out of my slumber to shut off the beeping. 4:30 am – Jillian Michaels makes me regret seeing the sunrise with weights and cardio. 5:00 am – Shower time. 5:15 am – I sip on coffee… Read more >

Starting the day with stove-top oats is becoming a nice ritual on non-work days. On Saturday, I woke up at 7:30 without an alarm (not ideal), but embraced it and jump kicked the weekend with some coffee…and blogging. Evidently, I took zero photos of my beautiful cup of joe. And yet, somehow I wound up with 800 pictures from my pumpkin oat cooking session. The recipe isn’t rocket science, and yet, I feel like it’s so pretty that I’m committing a crime in not taking pictures. Don’t worry, I deleted half of them, so now… Read more >

Oh my!? It’s been a sweet sweet weekend so far in Hippie-land. I’ll spare my male readers from any gory PMS details, but I think it’s pretty clear that my body’s chocolate cravings are well founded [as if you ever need an excuse to stuff your face with sweets!?]. My vampire schedule came to an end this week, and luckily enough, I slept like a baby through Thursday night. It felt awesome. And when I say that I slept like a baby, what I mean is I slept like a comatose patient, because my blackberry… Read more >

My second night shift would have been fine had I slept longer than 2 hours before starting it. At least it was a learning experience…I now have a better idea of how to approach a schedule change. I had coffee before starting the shift, and was doing fine until 1 am rolled around. Since my patients were stable and I was starting to do that eye-droop-head-nod thing, I decided to try and get some shut-eye. When my phone alarm went off at 2 am, I was sooo confused. Where am I? Why are my pajamas… Read more >
