First of all, this venti soy misto was FREE, because believe it or not, there are some perks (beyond heart palpitations) to my Gold Card membership and caffeine addiction. I had to go to the hospital on Tuesday even though I wasn’t working. Enduring an early wake up call and morning traffic without the promise of a paycheck demands a special treat – hence the Starbeezies. I had breakfast prepared for the waiting room. [Yes I got odd looks as I busted out a tupperware of oats in a waiting room] This genius creation… Read more >

I had the best patients over the weekend. Nice. Appreciative. Compliant. They may seem like simple requests as far as personality traits are concerned, but you’d be surprised. It made the nights fly by. Another thing that made the nights go by nice and smooth…books. You see, when it comes to night shifts, they can either be crazy and chaotic (ER admissions, codes, etc.) or super slow (eyelids drooping, head nodding). I prefer middle of the road shifts with a moderate amount of activity, but beggars can’t be choosers. Such being the case, it’s good… Read more >

Miracle of miracles, my breakfast held me over until my lunch break at 1 pm. That NEVER happens! I have this cute bowl to thank. :) Attune foods hooked it up at Expo West – not only did I get this on-the-go bowl (like a sippy cup for adults), but I also got to fill it with whatever cereals I wanted. As a huge cereal addict, this was one of the highlights of the Natural Foods show. I could hardly contain my excitement combining all the cereals to make one mega-master-mix. Uncle Sam – check! … Read more >

After another LOOOOONG morning at the Natural Foods Expo, lunchtime rolled around and Kyle and I were beyond tired (read: ready to throw in the towel). We came, we saw, we conquered, and we were exhausted. Rather than return for another 5 hours of crowds and chaos, we decided that we had pretty much enjoyed everything Anaheim had to offer. Game, set, match. With grumbling tummies (I don’t know how), we said goodbye to the Convention Center and set out to find a real meal. A quick search on my blackberry revealed we weren’t too… Read more >

Let’s race through the work stuff so we can get to the real story… The lunch stack! Side note: I need eco-friendly, reusable utensils. I’ve been using the same plastic ones day in and day out [actually they are made from corn or some other hippie ingredient, but still, they are most definitely not meant for reuse]. And while I am a fan of this form of recycling, it’s kinda gross. I’m embarrassed to admit that I don’t even wash them. I just put them back in my lunchbox once I’m done eating. I’m saving… Read more >
