10 weeks. 1 accidental egg. I think I’m doing pretty good! Breakfast: A tall decaf Americano with half-and-half, Sugar in the Raw, and Caramel Sauce…not syrup. And YES, I like my coffee like my men: tall, decaf Americano, white and sweet topped with caramel sauce. 😉  I was too stressed out to eat anything else that morning. However, lunch came at me fast. . Lunch: The Vegan Spicy Soyrizo & Black Bean Wrap from Mendocino Farms in my building. The place gets PACKED very quickly so by 11:45 I was already ordering. .

Today, the Universe decided that it hates people in my life. 1. Brandon tore his calf muscle As he changed the oil on his car on Friday, Brandon discovered some coolant leakage.

A few spoonful of butternut squash bisque which was absolutely disgusting A...

I’ve been pushing through work and juggling my social life through February. It seems I’m making new friends and reconnecting with old ones all the time. Weekends and evenings were no longer just the quiet moments but full of activities. There have also been changes at my work. We have created a new department which roped my marketing team of 2 in with 2 other departments to pursue new directions. The new Boss Man is first a friend. Much like my relationship with my boss Nhien, because we are friends first, communications are open in both directions. It makes for...
