Breakfast. Froth. Pumpkin coconut oats. Lunch. Whole wheat pita with faux “tuna” salad and roasted red pepper hummus. This is a new brand of pitas and I couldn’t be more in love. The fluffier, the better. Snacks. Three Sisters Cinnamon Sweets. Enjoy Life Boom Choco Boom bar. Do you really not know what this is? I totally Top Chef marathon-ed it for most of the day. With many chocolate breaks. How a hippie eats a Reese’s vegan fudge peanut butter cup. *Note: you may want tea for between bites because this is one rich dessert…. Read more >

After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon. Has anyone else ever seen The First 48? Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited. Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season. 😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football). Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >

Saturday night was my 10 year high school reunion. Wow. Way to make a girl feel old! I was actually really looking forward to going. I mean, sure we all have facebook now for optimal photo browsing stalking. But keeping tabs on your classmates’ latest status updates is very different from reminiscing in person about everything from hideous prom dresses (and prom dates) to cramming for AP Bio tests the period before they happened… My best friends are still very much in my life, but there were others who I am sad to say, I… Read more >

On Thursday morning Kyle and I woke up at 2:50 am. The things you do to avoid LA traffic… We had already loaded the car the night before, so all we needed was coffee, diet soda (yes, desperate times call for desperate measures) and water, and we were off! The beloved I-5 may have been pitch black, but it was also car free. I was behind the wheel until 7 am, at which point my tired eyes and nearly-bursting bladder got their way. Four straight hours with a gallon of liquids (mostly diuretics)…you do the… Read more >

Take care of yourself. You can’t take care of patients if you’re sick, so neglecting your own health is as good as bailing on your patients. You know…that whole apply your own oxygen mask first analogy… That’s what we learned in nursing school. But I have to be honest; I don’t know many nurses who follow that advice. And today, I fell victim as a result. Nursing fail. It all started with a crappy night’s sleep. I woke up 4 times drenched in sweat. Those were the first red flags. Ignored. I still got up… Read more >
