the pink month

Welcome to October, my favorite month. No work today, woohoo! But, my stomach was unhappy for some unknown reason, so my day off was not so fun. I spent most of it on the couch, and the rest of it in bed. I did manage to crawl to starbucks for a soy latte, which (surprisingly) settled my stomach momentarily. Later I had some oatmeal. Arrowhead Mills has good stuff. I especially love their oatmeal. I mixed one of the original packets with flax with a maple apple spice packet. Then I added in a hunk… Read more >

day-o-sando(s)

Another day of work. Another home-made sandwich.You know the drill. Subway to work, starbucks run for an AM caffeine dose (grande soy latte), work work work work…Here’s the rest of what I packed for myself.

I got up early today (weekend early, not work early) to have a couple cups of coffee before I headed out in the rain.After getting a decent caffeine buzz going, I walked to Jess’ apartment to pick her up and we took the subway together to Union Square for a pilates class/fundraiser. It was a breast cancer event (after all, it IS nearly October) so everything had a pink theme. Clearly, I can’t pass up on anything pink, especially when it is for such a good cause, and it didn’t take much persuading to get… Read more >

flat screen, flat abs, flat food?

The weekend started off productive. #1 – I cleaned out my closet to donate bags of unworn (and no longer fitting) clothes for the salvation army#2 – Kyle and I finally bit the bullet and bought a 32 inch flat screen HDTV (sweeeeeet!)#3 – I did some cooking (and tried a new recipe)#4 – I dragged Kyle with me to the gym So, Kyle was with his student at Minds Matter in the AM, allowing me to leisurely sip 2 cups of coffee while doing the crossword…until 3 pm! (btw my coffee was starbucks’ blend… Read more >
