I’m not sure what all the hype is about…I mean at least our country’s leaders understand how important and significant their work is. By no means is this blog a political one, but I just think that after pushing and pushing and pushing for this bill, it’s somewhat of a relief to see Biden drop an F-bomb over something so major for our nation. I mean, what seems more genuine, sign on the dotted line with a poker face or bleep your way to the podium (I’m liking the second option, but I’m also a… Read more >

Do you see the problem here? I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I was packing this food up…clearly there was no shot in hell that this amount of food would tide me over for my entire 12 hour shift. Salad? Check. Apples? Double check. Pretz/carob/raisins? Check. Drank? Check. And yet, all those goodies weren’t even close to enough food…by my 2 pm lunch break I was left with nothing but my ensalada. Where the bars at, yo?!?! Indeed, supplementation was very necessary (see below). I bought this big a$$ tub of nuts/carob… Read more >

Oh happy day! I love St. Patrick’s Day for several reasons: The start of March Madness Kyle’s birthday Green themed everything Boozing (to the nth degree) Random phrases like “sonny” and “me lucky charms” Of course I am one of those people who takes the green theme above and beyond…so prepare yourself for what’s to come. Green monster, complete with spinach, kale, frozen strawberries, mango, and Vita Coco. Natural sunlight. Natural sugar. Non-green joy. After breakfast, I headed out for a run. I made a quick loop in Central Park, came home and showered as… Read more >

I won’t burst into Annie’s theme song, but it’s definitely a relief to see the sun again. Caffeine + froth = a hop in my step Oddly enough, I started feeling iffy again half way through this HUGE mug, so I curbed the coffee and set my sights on the next meal. I guess meal isn’t the right word, but apples need no justification. Blogging and random dilly-dallying (cooking, emailing, erranding, etc.) around the apartment took up the majority of my morning, and pretty soon noon rolled around and I needed sustenance. I added the… Read more >

Saturday was a work day. F to the U.N. Packed nom-noms are some of the usual suspects, as well as some new members. Carrots, salad, apples, bars, and a baggie of goodies. Tummy-wise, I felt a little bit better, but certainly not great. In the non-transparent bag: almonds, carob chips, raisins, pistachios, cashews, and pretzels. This Belle Bananas Foster flavored 18 Rabbits bar was another winner. I’m not usually a banana nut fan, but this may be the bar that changes that. It’s oaty, with good breakability, perfect level of sweetness, and reminds me of… Read more >
