First of all, thanks for all the comments, e-mails and tweets regarding my last post about my health issues. I will keep you all posted on the progress as I figure things out. I am sure it is all nothing and honestly, I have jumped over bigger hurtles in my life. If you follow me on twitter or are a facebook friend you may have noticed my interest in this article that I saw thing morning on CNN. It immediately attracted my attention for a number of reasons: 1.      I just watched a documentary on the Jon Benet Ramsey case…

Hello! Yes, I am back. I had over 400 blog e-mails this morning and if that doesn’t say ‘it’s time” I am not sure what would. I was amongst the missing for over a week and it was actually kind of hard for me to take a break, but awesome at the same time. I love blogging and I love the community and “family” I have made through blogging, but sometimes a girl just needs to not have her life all over the internet for a while. I have been blogging for almost 2 years straight (where did the time…

Finally, a real soundtrack to slit your wrists to! I saw this on sale at Heathrow Airport and thought it was amazing.  Why hadn’t anyone thought of this before? Do you know how many times I’ve wished I had a playlist labeled “feel bad for yourself tunes” that I could throw on? Multiple.  It’s the perfect mix to put on after a break-up, a fight, a bad day at work or just another event in my constant quarter life crisis. I’ve listed a few of the songs below, all are amazing. Especially Sinead O’Connor.  And, don’t you worry this is only Volume 1! There are many other sad…

I received a variety of flavors: In my pack was: Original Sesame Buffalo Wing Everything Garlic Parmesan Classic Supreme Tuscan Three Cheese Cinnamon Toast The…

Hello! Thanks for putting up with my weird blogging schedule. I promise after this month of grad school hell is over it will be back to normal. I did want to update you all about my running issues. I did get myself through the NYC 13.1 and you can read the recap here, if you haven’t. I also ran a 5-miler this weekend. I felt better during this 5-miler than I had in a while, but still not great or like I used to by any means. I have mentioned that I had a physical coming up with my doctor…

Sunday morning Adam and I got up around 8:30 am, pretty sore and a little tired. We showered and got ready to meet my Mom and Dad for Brunch. We went to a brunch place in Tribeca that was recommended by my Uncle and Aunt who go to NYC often.  Locanda Verde was an adorable little restaurant that uses farm fresh eggs, has a great menu and adorable decor. I started off with a coffee, after a night out with the hubs- I needed some coffee! We were brought out some bread and we all quickly devoured it. It was…

Yesterday morning I got up feeling much more rested, which was good considering I had a lot to do. Since I had a weekend of rich eating, I really wanted to get back to the cleaner eating that my body is used to. For breakfast I have oatmeal topped with berries and a cup of coffee. Nothing makes me feel healthier than oatmeal I started back at my old office again, the bounce back and forth should be minimized now and I am delighted about that I felt a little rusty at first but caught back up immediately and was…

Morning! How are you all? I am doing well, since it is Wednesday! Mondays and Tuesdays are difficult for me because I have class right after work both days. It is like a double whammy right at the beginning of the week. Once Wednesday comes usually* my life is a little less of a rat race. Yesterday after work I had some time before my 7:15 pm class to get something done. I usually use this time to workout, but I had an awful stomach ache, so I used it to get some homework done instead. Once I was done…

Hello blog friends! I had a nice surprise lunch date today My handsome husband was working right near my office today so I took my lunch a little late so I could eat with him.

I tired a soup I hadn’t had yet. It was a sesame ginger bowl soup. It had chicken, carrots,  rice noodles and scallions in it. On…

Gooood morning! Can you believe it is Thursday already?! Sheesh- this week is flying by. Yesterday after work I headed to my part-time job to meet up with some customers. It took a lot longer than I thought it would. I was worried I wouldn’t make it to  my Crossfit class. But, alas I made it I had to change so I missing the pre-workout stretch, but that was okay. I really hate days that are a rat race like that and it has been that way all week so far. But, as soon as I started working out all…
