Oh night shift, how you disrupt my sleep cycle. How’s that for a cluttered night stand?! The ear plugs are the latest addition to help with my daytime snoozing sitch. Ugh. Again, I slept minimally after noche dos of nursing. Side note: I’m always hesitant to use that word when talking about night shift because I get weird google search terms…sorry to all the moms nursing their newborns all night long searching the internet for nursing related advice…only to click on my blog and not find anything helpful. My packed food was perfection. I’m… Read more >

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 am ALL out of sorts. Yesterday (?) I went to bed around noon thinking I’d sleep til 5 and then get ready to head back in to work. How’d that work out?? Yeah. Not so much. I ended up watching the latest episode of Glee (check out the creepy scene I paused it on) after tossing and turning in bed. It’s hard to sleep when it’s light out and my body is all jacked up on caffeine. I realize a mega caffeine Starbucks order wasn’t the wisest choice after being awake for 24 consecutive… Read more >

Happy Hanukkah peeps! I’m actually a gentile myself, but the hospital I used to work at in NYC was a Jewish hospital, so I’m totally down with Judaism. Lightlife’s Smart Bacon is both vegan and kosher, FYI. Just sayin’ It’s also salty as all hell, which is not great for blood pressure, but makes for one tasty a$$ dish. Bad cardiac nurse. Shhh…don’t tell on me. The idea for this dish came while I was home last weekend browsing through my mom’s Bon Appétit mag. There was a bacon and brussel sprouts dish that caught… Read more >

Our last day in New York! Monday was bittersweet, I suppose. Although, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more eager to get back to CA. Still, it was weird knowing that this would be our last time in New York for a very very long time. Like every other morning, we made Starbucks coffee in our hotel room before heading out. For some reason I have never seen this African Kitamu blend anywhere else, but I was in love at first sip, and am now determined to get my hands on it. Has… Read more >
