Go green or go home

Happy Earth Day fellow hippies!  This is one of my favorite days, and in New York, the going green theme has been stretched out – lasting a whole week – so I’ve been enjoying it to the fullest. Last year on Earth Day I tried (unsuccessfully) to start a bike-to-work initiative at the hospital where I work.  And this year I’m doing the same thing.  Some may think it’s silly (given that I will only be an employee there for another two weeks), but I don’t care.  We had a saying in my soccer days… Read more >

Calming carob

Wow, I’m behind in posting!  Sadly, I was busy with boring things, so my catch up posting isn’t going to be all that thrilling…or thorough.  I worked…and you know what that means…eating out of tupperware!  Unfortunately, the above eats were not representative of what I actually consumed because I was floated to the ICU (no time for snacking) and my tum was acting up (no desire for roughage).  What I really ate was the salad, pretz with hummus, and the nutty/carob-y mix (basically I skipped the carrots and apples).  There was also a fresh sourdough… Read more >

Wed(nesday) and Bed

For the freakin’ LIFE of me I couldn’t make it out of bed this morning. By 10 am I just resigned to a morning in bed (why fight it).  I made coffee and snuggled back in my covers with a crossword, mug of frothy joe, and some trashy tv.  How’s that for a perfect morning?  Hump day much. Around noon I dragged myself to the living room for some apples and computer time.  Since it was gorgeous outside and I wasn’t hungry for lunch I made my way outside, for a walk around the neighb. … Read more >

Gleeful day off

Reminder: BYOM (bring your own mug, that is) to Starbucks on April 15th for a free java I love that Starbucks is doing their part to make a difference…I mean, I already adore the ‘bucks for their delicious liquid crack, but The Green Project has put them on a whole other level in my book.  Hippie approved 🙂 But back to Tuesday… Weather-wise, it was only moderately spring-y, but I’ll take overcast and warmish over 40 degrees any day. Brunch was colorful perfection.  Fruity much? Today’s smoothie was loaded with POM, frozen mixed berries, frozen… Read more >

Bread winner

This weekend Kyle’s at UCLA for an orientation of sorts, and I’m working it up.  (Yes, I do still have a job, but only for a few more weeks!)  Hey, someone has to bring home the dough, right?  I packed my goodies, as per usual. Salad.  Bars.  Teas.  Carrots.  Pretz/Raisins/Carob chips.  Hummus.  Apple.  (I actually had two other apples that I bought at the Union Square farmers market on my lunch break, too) The size of the salad looks dwarfed by the photo on the right, but trust, it was large and in charge.  It… Read more >
