Welllll…this weekend was pretty intense. I worked. I saved lives. Literally. I try not to go into too much detail about my job (a) because of the whole patient privacy thing and (b) because I have a feeling it’s not very thrilling to read about. But sometimes I wish I could share all the crazy things I see and do on a daily basis because, well, it’s a big part of my life. Or at least a part. Anyways, as I’ve mentioned before, I work in the cardiopulmonary critical care unit (CPCU), which is the… Read more >

Shocker of all shockers…I actually had work today, I know, I know, you all forgot I even HAD a job because I’ve had so many consecutive days off… Naturally I packed all my goodies the night before in my re-re-recycled containers (once a hippie, always a hippie). But wait, let’s rewind to the day before (aka prepping). Since we have been in our brand new apartment with it’s brand new kitchen appliances for over a week, I felt the time had come to pop our oven’s cherry. Long overdue. Plus, I was feeling creative…and we… Read more >

Finally, a day off of work…time to get the apartment set up! After I got back from errands, I made a big lunch. A pseudo BLT (soy bacon, spinach, and hummus)…ok, so it was a BLH. I used Lightlife soy bacon and Sabra hummus (obvi) on my fave, Alvarado street bread. Looks delish, huh!!! I cleaned the apartment while snacking chowing down some dried fruit. I was a bit of a slacker, and really wasn’t feeling the gym, but I dragged myself there (my goal is to not come in last in April’s half marathon). … Read more >

I woke up insanely early this morning considering I rarely eat brekkie at the apartment on work days. But, hey, I like to color outside the lines. Watch out! Coffeeeeeeee!! If you add a gallon of soymilk, it doesn’t really stain your teeth, right? Sure, Elise, whatever helps you sleep at night… I was feeling nearly 100% (thank goodness) so I had a quick bite (Alvarado street bread toasted with Earth Balance spread) and then I was off to work… Look at all the Odwalla bars my mom sent me home with!!! She knows how… Read more >

I was flashing my ice ALL OVER the hospital today 🙂 I can’t help it, I’m freakin’ engaged and can’t hide the excitement!!! I packed my lunch the night before, see: Even in my extremely exhausted state (cross country flights are NOT my friend), I still managed to make a mean ass sammie, consisting of smart deli “turkey,” cranz, honey mustard, and lettuce on ww bread. And as for the rest of the days munchies: Apricot Clif bar, Strawberry/Pomegranate odwalla bar, wasabi peas, and carrots. Add a few billion pounds of coffee in there and… Read more >
