I’ve been (mostly) dairy and egg free for about two weeks now and while there have been a few slipups when faced with Feta cheese or the first time ordering a latte and forgetting to ask for soy milk, I have been pretty damn strong. Coupled with the fact that dairy does not mix well [...]
I was talking to a friend last night while watching five people dance around in a kitchen not big enough for two about how I didn’t like cooking with other people. That’s not to say it isn’t fun to cook with several people but I’m better at cooking alone. There are certain exceptions though. At [...]
Friday means good things for most people, however it is just the start of my workweek usually. Luckily I’m only working tonight and Saturday, with Sunday off, so I’m rather happy about that! Especially about the part that this week’s potluck is SUSHI themed! I’ve never made sushi and am really excited to get to [...]
I’ve never been more excited for fall than I have this year. Cooler weather, changing leaves, pumpkins and root vegetables, warm spices, soups, rich colors, cute fall sweaters, boots, scarves and light fall jackets. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons but it has always been followed up by a New England winter [...]
I finished VEDA a couple weeks ago and was met with mixed feelings. Part of me was so happy to have that extra time back since it took me so long to not only record, but edit those videos. But the bigger part of me was super sad that it was ending, that I wouldn’t [...]

The crazy must be visiting me this month because not only did I join a gym, but I decided to…well. I’m just going to lay it out there for you. I’m going Vegan for a month. I was inspired by Kyla‘s foray into Veganism earlier this year and wanted to try it for myself. I’ve [...]
If you had to leave at a moments notice, what would you take? What is important? I found myself pondering this as I drove home from work the other night under a warning to please prepare for an evacuation if the fire changes directions and enters city limits. Of course, I fell outside this warning [...]
This past weekend was supposed to be the start of five days off in a row. It was probably the most exciting moment in my life when I first saw the schedule and realized I had a real, live weekend off, something I haven’t had in months since starting this job. The dream was quickly [...]
I have this heart shaped black rock I carry around with me, a sort of good luck charm. It usually sits in the bottoms of purses and I sometimes forget when I make purse changes to move it over into the new purse. I don’t even know why I carry it around. I’m probably the [...]
