Before you all have collective heart attacks, no, I did NOT get sh!t faced while doing my nurse thang. However, Saturday night WAS the cardiac surgery holiday party (aka open bar on the MDs tab). Unfortunately for yours truly, I still had to work my 12 hour shift on Saturday…as well as the next day (Sunday). Boo! I can think of about 15,000 other things I’d rather do after work than put on a dress and pretend that I feel pretty while I’m covered in a patient’s ventilator spew and C. diff. Oh, and did… Read more >

Please disregard how delayed my posting is…as this post is clearly from last Friday. What can I say, this weekend was a crazy one! Festival ‘o Lights started today…oh the things I know from living in NYC working in a Jewish Hospital. Why are there so many ways to spell Hanukkah? Very confusing religion. Shocker of all shockers. I passed up my usual dose of caffeine this morning and instead opted for a huge cuppa cocoa. I’m getting to be a bit obsessed with this beverage. I’m not sure if it’s because Christmas time and… Read more >

This post title is in honor of my spanglish sistah and my visiting foodies. But first and foremost, I just wanted to say that re-reading my last post made me feel so whiney. Not a fan. I definitely did not mean to sound all “woe-is-me” and “there’s-no-rest-for-the-weary” because I’m going to be working on thanksgiving. So let me explain. I would definitely head home if I could – the more family time the better! Kyle actually headed home Sunday morning, which I very much encouraged him to do (why not take as much time off… Read more >

I recently discovered this oh SO Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer. I am cray cray in love with it, and since I now add it to my java on the daily, I felt the need to shout it from the rooftop post about it, too. No soy, no dairy, no fat, just pure vegan yumminess with french vanilla flavoring to boot. FYI, I usually flavor my coffee with NuNatural’s vanilla extract, but since my stash is nearly gone, this discovery couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. This morning I slept (wayyyy) in, but eventually… Read more >

We crammed so much sight seeing into this past weekend, I hardly know where to begin. Please excuse my lack of eloquence, horrible sentence structure, and tragic grammar as I recap piece together the past 72 hours (it was Halloween, there was alcohol, and I have the tolerance of Abigail Breslin). Friday Woke up at 4:30 am for a 7 am train departure. Keep in mind this was after less than 5 hours of sleep, which were (purposefully) broken up each hour, on the hour, so I could check and make sure my drugged up… Read more >
