If I had to design a perfect birthday weekend, I definitely wouldn’t include two days of work. Unfortunately, my boss didn’t agree. I guess I can’t really complain about it though, since I just got back from a week vacay in CA. I was totally prepared with a buncha pre-packed food. Fruit, of the dried persuasion, included mango and pear slices, as well as a strawberry chewy-thingy (Nike race freebie), while fresh fruit was limited to a smallish apple. I also bar-ed it up with the Blueberry Crisp flavored Clif, and a Cashew Cookie Larabar. … 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 >

Alarm-less wake up at 7 am? BOO. Not sure why, but I was giving the crows a run for their money this morning. While I got my java on, I rocked out to The Upwelling – and for the record – I am NOT a morning person. Making sense of anything before 8 am is a struggle, let alone breaking in my vocal cords. I showered, lathered on sunscreen, and navigated my way to the 7 train. I noshed on this MASSIVE granola bar from WF on the way. I love these fruit & nut… Read more >

After working a few days in a row, I just wanted to sleep in ‘til noon today. Unfortunately, my circadian rhythm wasn’t in on the game plan. I was up and getting my caffeine on by 8. A few days ago, this lovely package arrived from NuNaturals, so I was thrilled to have a massive fake sugar free NuStevia filled cuppa-joe. As usual, I brewed and frothed… Then, I added 3 drops of Vanilla Stevia to the Caffe Froth, and 1 packet of NuStevia white powder to the coffee. Perfection. No bitter after-taste. Not too… Read more >

Guess who’s turning 21 today!?!?! My baby sister, Marie!!! Somehow I am the shortest in my fam, even though I’m the oldest. Boo. I can’t believe she’s turning 21. She’ll always be 12 in my eyes. I can’t wait for her to visit NYC in August – we are going to celebrate in a MAYJ way! In case you were wondering (since I was just wishing happy birthday for my , yes, my sissie-poo and my popsicle do have back to back birthdays. Now, onto the food. Liquid AM. Slosh slosh. I used the above… Read more >
