Working on the holidays isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I realize there are worse things (like being a patient). So I tried to make the most of it, and celebrated regardless. I was working with my fave co-RNs, too, which helped make the day fun, rather than depressing. Last night, in an effort to get to bed on time, I threw this lunch together way too fast. I’d like to blame the lack of groceries on my desire to save $$ and use up what’s currently in the deepest depths of the pantry,… Read more >

My parents were in town this weekend! :D They arrived Saturday in the wee early hours and left yesterday (Tuesday afternoon)…and although they were only here for four days (two of which I had to work 12 hour shifts) we still had so much fun. I was definitely sad to see them go, but I feel pretty lucky that I was able to see them at all. As I’m sure you’ve heard/read by now, the East Coast weather wasn’t so kind this weekend. Saturday and Sunday were quite the snow-filled days, which were BEYOND brrrrr… Read more >

I blasted music from the Nutcracker all morning long, and it actually made the horrible weather not seem so bad. I’ll have to remember that trick for the future… Frothy coffee and an english muffin stuffed with peanut butter helped, too. But what REALLY warmed my heart was all your sweet comments on my weighty post. You guys are so awesome. Seriously. It’s always nerve racking to put yourself out there, but I am continually amazed by the overwhelmingly supportive and positive comments. Gah. You guys are too much! Anyways, after breks, I cuddled up… Read more >

Fact: I could wash down dirt with foamy coffee and still be happy. Fact: Spending 15 minutes trying to fix a broken toaster can lead you to dark places. Good thing God invented peanut butter for such moments. Fiction: A microwave is just as good as a toaster anyways. Fact: Apples + cinnamon = the perfect fall snack Fiction: Taking a cross-town bus after coffee and fiber loading is a smart idea. Fact: Bathrooms aren’t abundant on the Upper East Side. Fact: In terms of pita pockets, there is no such thing as TOO stuffed…. Read more >

Apple, Blog, Coffee that is. As if my hospital-less days would start any other way… Hope you guys liked the froth tutorial. This alphabetical brekkie got me through a tivo-ed Gossip Girl episode (followed by a dance party in my PJs to Lady GaGa) and many many blogs, but eventually I needed a course two. A [me] & goji bowl of deliciousness filled (my tummy’s) void. Shortly after I digested, I threw on some clothes, got my hair did, beautified my face, and hit the road to get some errands done. Runway ready? FO SHO…. Read more >
