The was a lot of lazy going on in the house today as we prepared for the busy week ahead, this one stayed parked on the couch most of the day. Except when this one was stealing her favorite spot. Then Leela follows me around the house with a pathetic, pouting face. And I finally […]
Running & Sauteed Salad
I’m so happy the weekend is finally here, but still counting down the days until things settle at work finally next weekend after a major project deadline. It’s been madness for over 6 weeks now with so much going on at work and in my personal life that I’m craving more downtime. This morning I […]
Splurge Bender
I am literally counting down the days to a project deadline at work when things finally settle down because this week has been so busy. Sadly that won’t be until next week with a finale of me working the weekend I’ll also be running a half marathon – good times! Good thing about being so […]
Getting Back To Normal
I’m finally starting to feel more relaxed after an insanely busy and emotional month, things are showing signs of settling down just a pinch and I’m ready for it! Saturday was a tough day as my family and I sorted through my grandma’s apartment. It actually wasn’t a long project because she didn’t have a […]
Mini Tahoe Getaway
I took yesterday off work and while I requested the day off weeks ago and desperately needed a day off, I felt just a smidgen of guilt for abandoning my co-workers with so much going on. But a longer weekend is exactly what I needed after a very stressful few weeks and weekends. My mom […]
Quick Quinoa & Chickpeas
While mowing the lawn, hubby found a new friend. Isn’t he cute? Thank goodness he wasn’t mowed! I think he’s a variety of garter snake? Just as long as he’s not a rattlesnake again, hubby innocently picked up one of those a few months ago not realizing what it was. Thankfully no ER trip was […]
Zucchini Rounds
In between spending most of the weekend in the hospital with my grandma and eating plain cafeteria salads, I did find some time for a little gardening. My spaghetti squashes are going crazy which is all right with me, the more the merrier for winter! And I’m getting little kabocha squashes! Cant wait to use […]
My Everyday Hemp Milk
I promise I’m alive and have some good stuff to post soon and looking forward to getting back to a regular posting schedule. But it’s been a rough and bumpy weekend in the hospital with my grandma with a round-the-clock visiting schedule to spend time with her and constantly reminding her that she’s cared about […]
Vegan Lasagna Night
Here’s to Friday almost being here! Naturally I’m ready after another busy week at work and feeling rushed to cram everything I wanted to do in. I think this week’s stress resulted in an odd dinner craving tonight, especially after a few nights of cold salads. I decided to try a vegan lasagna using a […]
New Vegan Purse
Well yesterday was not a great start to the short week, work is still insanely busy and I had to leave early to rush to the Emergency Room for my grandma who had a minor health scare that caused her care home to call in an ambulance. It was a long 6-hour wait in a […]
