Wow- that glass of wine was so just what I needed! Don’t kill me, but we actually bought a boxed wine (I know, I know…) based on a recommendation. It was by Black Box, and it was their Pinot Grigio (we tried their Malbec over Christmas and liked it). It was a very respectable white …
Boy, I called it. I knew today was gonna be rough after such a blissful weekend. Family issues. Gross. Instead of re-living it all over again (and airing it all on the interwebs), I am just gonna change the subject of my whole day. Let’s talk about my favorite subject: food!! We made it to …
I. Love. Sundays. Lazy, wonderful Sundays. This weekend has been soooo relaxing- just what I needed before gearing up for another crazy week! We made the most delicious soup tonight with the roasted chicken stock, and I’ve just GOT to rave about these recipes!! Chicken Chili Verde6-10 tomatillios1 poblano pepper1 chicken breast1 medium onion1 clove …
I truly hate how selfish people worm their way into our lives. Some people honestly believe they were born entitled to things, rather than earning them; they believe they are a cut above the rest, and each has a crown sitting on top of their head (that only he/she can see) which indicates their inherent …
Today ends the 7th day, and thus the first week, of the SD. Yay!! That means, tomorrow I can have my 7 day reward: new yoga clothes from VS!!! I am so super excited!! On top of that, losing 6 pounds in 7 days is sweet! I cannot believe Chris and I actually made it …
Woof. Rough day. Woke up, didn’t take Sassy out fast enough and ended up with number1 and 2 all over the floor. Minor fight with the hubby. Late for work–salad dressing ended up all INSIDE my bag. 40 minutes late for a 4 hour conference I didn’t have in my calendar for some reason. Home. …
Call last night was loooooong. I got called all night on a patient I suspect was a drug-seeker, which is not fun and not within the scope of my specialty. I made it, though, through my first night as primary pager holder! Yay! It wasn’t as bad/stressful as I thought it was going to be, …
Ok, I realize that technically it’s January 5 already, but since I have been crushed on call tonight, this is my first spare moment to blog all day! Woof, what a day!!! I am on Nephrology this month, but I still am taking Neurology call. This is my first month as primary call, which means …
Christmas break was so, so good. Too bad it’s over! My husband and I went to Colorado for the holidays, and visited the Great Divide Brewery, Dry Dock Brewery, Breckenridge Brewery and BBQ, Argyll (a gastropub), Kouma’s Cafe (in Chicago), and shopped, baked, and ate until it was both gluttonous and heavenly. Already, it’s 2011. …
Whew! I made it through November. What a crazy month! I was on Neurology, my home service throughout the entire month of November. It was good, because it was familiar & I could finally see how far I came, but it was rough, because at some points there were too many patients to see and …
