Good morning from the west coast (aka the BEST coast)!! I started the day off as any good day should begin, with caffeine in a fun mug. I kinda messed up the ratio of lactaid to coffee again (but sorta on purpose this time since it was so good yesterday). Btw, the combo of BOTH lactaid and vanilla silk soy milk is pretty amazing. At about 11, I went on a walk around the Lafayette reservoir with my high school besties (plus the boyfriends). Since I have no car, Lauren picked me up and we… Read more >

“hey la my boyfriend’s back!”

I woke up bright and early and decided to play with my new camera. Here’s some shots of the backyard… I love the sun beams coming through the trees behind the creek. I definitely miss having a yard (and space in general) in Manhattan, so it’s nice to go home and enjoy nature. (Unpictured to the left) is the tire swing and the 2 bird feeders. The birds were ALL OVER them the entire time I was home…even the squirrels were having at it when the birds were away. It was pretty amusing watching them… Read more >

my REAL christmas

Thanks to the time zone changes, my circadian rhythm was totally messed up, so I was up early, while everyone else slept in…well, not everyone. My mom was in the kitchen already starting the cooking/baking/prep and one set of Aunt and Uncle were off for their AM walk. I sat in the kitchen with my mom and made myself a big mug of coffee.My parents have the same froth machine as I do, so I made a nice perfectly foamy (and lactose free) coffee. Then I got ready for company (since people were coming over… Read more >

home for the holidays

Airport on my way home!! WTF were they thinking when they made the new terminal for JetBlue – no Starbucks?! I’m not a fan. They DO have all these new creative dining places though, with lots of potential options beyond fast food (which is nice), including salad and hot food bars. But still, at 7 am that is little consolation for the lack of soy for my coffee.So I ended up going to Dunkin’ Donuts šŸ™ and ordering a small black coffee and a HUGE water. I’ve got a aisle seat, kids, no worries!Here’s my… 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 >
