The tally

Elise 1.  Night shift 1. Monday’s night shift was fine.  But last night’s had a few hiccups.  It started off well enough (same patients, same routine) but after my lunch sleeping break at 3 am, I got busy.  Downside: One of my patients decided to stop breathing (which is never good). Upside: The hours between 3 and 6 am FLEW by.   Leading up to work I had a nice day.  After biking back from work, I showered and crawled into bed, where I promptly dozed off for a solid four hours. When I woke… Read more >

It would be nice, if you made me rice.

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband.  I may have to show it to you later.  :)  Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine.  It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit.  Dude.  I am so bummed about these lame nectarines.  From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >

Drinking the dregs

No matter how much I shake the almond or soy milk, the last cup of the carton is always SO MUCH BETTER than the rest.  I love the thick sediment that’s left at the end.  If only there were a way to make it all like that!?  Anyone else a fan of the nondairy milk dregs?   In case you weren’t aware, I’m a vanilla whore.  I usually buy the unsweetened or plain soymilk/almond milk and just add that and NuNaturals vanilla stevia to my coffee.  Lately, though, I’ve been in a mayj vanilla phase,… Read more >

The first B&G

My friends and I have been planning a special booze and games night for a while now… I’d say it went off rather well.  😉        Hula hoop gladiator softball twister jenga.  And some bevies. :)  Bahahaha. Our cab ride home was ridiculous…the driver had no clue how to drive the 20 blocks from one part of West LA to our apartment and was asking us for directions.  Not good.  Sunday morning I had this beauty waiting for me And now the weekend is over…sad. 

Fig Friday

I’ll fly through the beginning of this post and get the part when (part of) my family is in town!! So tired I couldn’t even scoop my oats into the bowl.  They were made with oats, buckwheat, apples, cinnamon, and vanilla stevia.    Lunch was shake ‘n bake.  Minus the bake.  I just love using tupperware with lids to get dressing in every nook and cranny.   This is especially important when it’s a delicious dressing like Follow Your Heart’s vegan caesar. It helps if you sing while you do it: shake shake shake, shake… Read more >
