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). I did manage to cross two things off my to-do list before hitting the road (I wish one of those things had been “pack up an extra cup of coffee for the road” because this was definitely a two cup kind of day…). I ended up stopping at Starbucks (shock). And of course I had an apple on stand by (shock). … Read more >

I know yesterday’s AM eats weren’t well documented at all, but I promise to make up for it with yesterday’s dinner. It’s restaurant week!! Three courses complete with wine pairings (included in the price no less) for $34. You can’t turn that down. I was initially going with Ethel, my FPIC, but Kyle got out of school early and decided to join us. There were so many restaurants participating…it was a hard choice, but in the end we settled on La Grande Orange (mostly because of how fun it was to say in a ridiculous… Read more >

When I was a young thang growing up in CA I loved the rain. In elementary school indoor recesses were a novelty. In junior high and high school, the rain meant we had an excuse to get insanely muddy (yes, I was a bit of a tomboy). Especially playing soccer in the rain…so fun! Cut to my years on the East Coast… In NYC I hated the rain. I’m not really sure what prompted this drastic change of heart, but I suspect it had to do with the fact that there was ALWAYS the chance… Read more >

Yesterday morning I woke up, caffeinated myself, ate my butternut coconut oats, went for quick expensive shopping trip on the Promenade, then came home for a nice wheatberry lunch. What you DIDN’T see was what prompted this… Yucky weather. WSJ’s Style & Fashion section. Dangerous duo. I ended up spending $218 at Forever21 in under 2 hours – yikes! Good thing I’m starting my job soon… After lunch I went grocery shopping. I’ve found that I spend way less on groceries when I shop in a semi-full state (sadly, this is rather necessary since I’m… Read more >

On Thursday my alarm went off and I popped out of bed with a quickness. You may be wondering why I was so anxious about starting the day… It certainly had nothing to do with the excessively layered outfit I had laid out to wear (of course it’s suddenly 80+ degrees at sunrise the day I have to wear professional attire). It also had nothing to do with the 25 minute bus ride next to Mister I’m-going-to-broadcast-my-cell-phone-conversation-to-the-world. As I previously mentioned and then shared via twitter, I was in fact at a follow up job… Read more >
