Hello from a relaxing day at home, 3 day weekends are awesome. I think I need more of them. After a few weeks of insanity, we needed a change of scenery and took off on a day trip to Squaw Valley yesterday for a little hiking, photography, and relaxing. This is actually a great time […]
New Vega Product & Mystery Squash
I’m so relieved the long weekend is here and today was a wonderfully relaxing day. Except for my 8-mile run this morning in the heat. Since I’m on a month countdown until another half marathon, I ordered a new flavor of Vega Complete Whole Food Health Optimizer to assist with my training – berry flavor. […]
Big Zucchini Score
Ugh, come on 3 day weekend! It’s only Thursday and I’m already drained. But yesterday was another long day of work and visiting my grandma in her new care home after. And it wasn’t a fun visit because she was in a negative and bitter state getting tired of the place, the care she’s receiving, […]
I Can Have Chocolate for Dinner
Because I’m an adult and having a stressful day week month, I can have chocolate for dinner, right? When I got home from work, my stomach was not so happy after a non-stop day. And I was craving chocolate, lots of chocolate. Since my last batch of energy balls are gone, I had to make […]
Running Around
How did Monday get here so fast? Time flies when I’m running around like a mad woman checking off my task list. At least someone had a relaxed weekend. Shadow’s favorite toy in the world are cheap little catnip puff balls and I wish I could be so entertained with a $0.25 toy! He pent […]
Catching My Breath & Simple Guacamole
Finally the weekend! Well, kind of. I’m on call for work this weekend and have been watching all our east coast sites go up and down thanks to Hurricane Irene. I feel for everyone affected by it and do not miss those days when we were living in Central Florida. In 2004, we got hit […]
Slowing Down
I can’t even begin to express what a long and exhausting day it was. Work has just been nonstop this week since we’re busy with new projects while being shorthanded, today was another multitasking nightmare. Plus I’m on call this week and have been getting slammed frequently after hours, hello lack-of-sleep. Mix that with frequent […]
Hummus Recipe Flop & The ABC’s of Me
The dog days of summer are getting old with our temps back to triple digits and clearly dogs don’t like them either. My cat waits on the couch all day to take his frustrations out on anyone stupid enough to pass – me. I have plenty of my own frustrations this week with stress, work […]
Mint Chocolate Energy Balls
Ah Monday, good thing it’s over! And after an emotionally draining weekend, it was nice to come home after work and annoy relax with some furry friends. But I’m still feeling the stress of the last few weeks being tired, tense, and a little achy. The physical effects of stress are amazing, and annoying. Even […]
Just Getting Through It
Today was another exhausting emotional roller coaster with my grandma in the hospital. Before my mom and I visited her in the hospital, we had a quick lunch at her house of salad. For a dressing, I used some of the liquids from her homemade cultured veggies jar to create a dressing. And mixed them […]
