Yes, there is a giveaway at the end of this post. And yes, it’s sweet. But before you get to that, you have to endure my birthday ramblings. First of all, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday the other day. It was so amazing to be bombarded with your lovely comments – I definitely felt the blog love. My coffee was feeling it too. I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Hmmm…that’s odd, who in their right mind is thrilled to be older? (whatever…I’ll go with… Read more >

Seriously, I hope I’m not boring you all, but this trip home was so epic, that even the Cliff’s notes version is miles long… I guess I will continue from where I left off (Saturday PM). Since the Nike half marathon started at 7 am (and I had no desire to commute into the city before that ungodly hour) I stayed at my sister’s apartment the night before. At least something positive came out of last month’s half marathon pre-race disaster (i.e. 4 am wake up calls are NOT conducive to a happy hippie). Spooning… Read more >

I am back in CA! YEAH!! But before I get to the fun I’m am having on the West Coast, I will quickly recap my few days leading up to coming here. I worked on Tuesday, so I made sure to get to bed early before midnight on Monday night (I don’t like yawning through codes thankyouverymuch). So, as I was dozing off Monday night, my phone rang so loud and abruptly, I bolted upright nearly shocking myself into SVT (cardiac talk, no worries). Who the eff would text me past midnight?? By now, my… Read more >

Sunday morning started just like Saturday – I was off to work before the clock chimed 6. My lunch was similar to Saturday’s too. Let’s see if you can identify the differences? Kidding! That’s way too much effort. Instead, I’ll just tell you. Same salad. Different bars. Today’s snacks included: Clif’s MoJo Dipped PB&J, Chocolate Coconut Chew Larabar, dried fruit (mango and pears), and fresh fruit (apple and pear). Sometimes I wake up with my stomach growling, but other days, I don’t actually get hungry for hours. And weirder yet, sometimes I eat a meal… Read more >

Initially, I thought this weekend wouldn’t be too bad since my weekend at the hospital overlapped with Kyle’s trip to the west coast (I mean, we might as well both be occupied if we aren’t together, right?)…but then I found out some of my fave peeps were going to be in town. [Insert HUGE sigh] Next time… Work grub. Let’s get to it. Now what do we have here: PB&J Larabar (it had been too long – I don’t recommend waiting over a month week between consuming this flavor), Chocolate Brownie Clif bar (ummm, chocolate… Read more >
