Snacky McSnackerson

Happy MLK Jr. day!  Even though we don’t get holidays in the hospital, I actually have today off, so I can appreciate the holiday like everyone else (meaning Kyle)!  I slept in and enjoyed a huge froth-filled latte while watching the View. Kyle’s not a huge fan of the View, so he was working on the computer to block out “Whoopi’s obnoxious voice.”  I made myself a little somethin’ somethin’ for brunch – an open-faced PB quesadilla with a WW tortilla and peanut butter.  I’ve never had this brand of tortilla, in fact our grocery… Read more >

A tofu kind of day

Okay, what I really should have called this post was a Gliding Calm kind of day…you’ll see why soon enough!  Hint: squash fries, tofu And now for some complaining… Yesterday evening the flurries started, but the temperature didn’t stay below freezing, so overnight it turned into rain.  Lemme tell ya, today was gross!  All day long it was POURING outside.  I can’t WAIT to get away from this snow/rain slush and laze about in the sunshine.  I can’t stand this nasty sleet for much longer.  Thank goodness it’s only 3 days until Cabo!!!!  Okay, whining… Read more >

free time and football

I am so happy to have today off of work. I love weekends, especially NFL play-off weekends, since there are games on Saturday AND Sunday. I love sleeping in, and being lazy and not feeling remotely guilty about it. Plus, I got some wonderful mail today, too.Stonyfield responded to an email I sent them with some goodies (coupons) for my fave products. Their O’soy yog is THE best, but I can never find it anywhere, so hopefully they contacted some local markets to get more of their goodies stocked. The other mail was a postcard… Read more >

a fresh start

There’s nothing like the blanket of white snow covering the ground to symbolize the clean slate that today represents. Welcome 2009. I love you already. Fresh starts are always a good thing. Today started bright and early with a 5 am wake-up call for work. I packed my lunch the night before, which included the usual smart deli sammie, apple, mix of raisin/dried cranberries, plus odwalla bar.Look what Santa left for me!! Clearly my mom (errr…santa) knows me well. This will last me quite a while – yay!!On the way to work I was bummed… Read more >

packing, shopping, and going HOME!!!

Coffee #1 frothy soy misto.Coffee #2 lactaid-y latte.Everything in moderation, right? Originally I was supposed to work today, but after the past 2 beyond boring days, I knew they could do without me, so I switched shifts and now I can do all my random errands before I go home (rather than waste precious time with the fam (finally) doing my x-mas shopping). I have been so anxious to get home!!! I really miss my family back in sunny CA. Even though I now have to work on the 1st, sleeping in today ALONE was… Read more >
