I finally made it to the only Trader Joe’s in Manhattan. Seriously, I’ve been doing walk-bys for months now (it is RIGHT next to work after all) and each time I venture close, I chicken out when I see the line. You would think that having a line out the door every day of the week would clue them in to maybe open another store, but I guess not everyone is as business savvy as I am (right?). Ok, but let me back the eff up to the beginning of the day. SBUX in the… Read more >

And it’s NOT pretty…it may be the worst smell ever. No. It’s definitely the worst smell ever. Yep, I just conducted a study. 9 out of 10 researchers agreed with me (I think the 10th guy was sleeping with the drug rep). I may be off “egg” products for a while because of this… Lunch Same sammie as ayer (bell pepps, “turkey,” greek yog, and hummus) Plus the usual side-kicks, along with a NEWBIE (and new obsession). Dude, figs and carob covered raisins = heaven. Holy yum, talk about a party in my mouth!! I… Read more >

Nope. Not a typo. I had QUITE a demanding patient load today at work. Talk about a shock back into reality. I’ve been off for about a week now, so I knew it was going to be an abrupt change from the lackadaisical days I’ve been having (lounging around the warm apartment without a hint of an agenda). Anyways, today’s eats were as thrilling as ever. Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m laying on the sarcasm pretty thick. Starbucks soy misto to get the day going. Odwalla bar when I couldn’t ignore the growling in my… Read more >

Happy MLK Jr. day! Even though we don’t get holidays in the hospital, I actually have today off, so I can appreciate the holiday like everyone else (meaning Kyle)! I slept in and enjoyed a huge froth-filled latte while watching the View. Kyle’s not a huge fan of the View, so he was working on the computer to block out “Whoopi’s obnoxious voice.” I made myself a little somethin’ somethin’ for brunch – an open-faced PB quesadilla with a WW tortilla and peanut butter. I’ve never had this brand of tortilla, in fact our grocery… Read more >

Hooray! The internet people fixed our connection thingy for real now. Can you tell how tech savvy I am with that intelligent computer language…Anyways, fingers crossed, we won’t have any more days without access to the outside world. Phew! (Since it is snowing and I’m cooped up in the apartment, I associate the internet with the “outside”) I started the day off with a mug of frothy vanilla coffee and big bowl of oats. Gotta love me some Bob’s Red Mill organic whole grain oats 🙂 I had about 1 1/2 cups and added in… Read more >
