Thanks to random.org, a winner has been chosen for the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil. Congrats to Jenna, who said “Happy birthday! I’d use the coconut oil to put on baked sweet potatoes (so good) and in baking!!” Email me with your address and I’ll be sure the oil gets to you. I know you’ll put it to good use. :) I have another giveaway planned for tomorrow, so set your alarms. As for yesterday, ‘twas another day at orientation… And, thus, another pre-packed lunch… Starting with a salad and leftover pizza. The salad… Read more >

In case you were unaware, I don’t post all my eats. There are several reasons for this, but that’s neither here nor there. My point is, had I posted photos of every bite, you would have seen the slow and steady demise of my multi-nut butter. I’m making it again asap because I have been a nutbutter-a-holic lately. Another confession, I threw away half a tub of spinach today. It was all watery and gross. I can’t recall the last time I had plain veggies, let alone a salad. And that’s just plain bizarre (and… Read more >

I am so sick of signing waivers, forms, consents, and agreements, I just want to start nursing! This morning I woke up bright and early to head to HR (again) for paperwork (again).

When lunch time rolled around I had alittle… Read more >

Moving back to CA, one of the things I was most looking forward to was having a balcony. A balcony allows me to have two very important things: 1) a BBQ 2) a garden Ok, it’s not quite a garden, yet. But it’s getting there… As an early birthday present from my in-laws, I got organic rosemary, basil, and thyme to give my green thumb a jump start. Since it was raining the other day, I was in a zen kind of mood. I blasted classical music on the iHome and got to work repotting… Read more >
