Why yes, I am ‘funemployed’

Happy Labor Day readers!
I read an interesting article from today’s Tennessean, about the small group of unemployed 20 and 30-somethings who are taking their time off to have fun – travel, visit old friends and relatives, volunteer, take classes… basically things they wanted to do but didn’t have the time while they were working. They [...]

Breakfast at Wimbledon

Yup, today is the Men’s Singles final at Wimbledon. Probably one of my favorite mornings every year. What better way than to wake up, turn on the TV, and see your husband smiling at you? Well … let me take that back. He won’t be smiling until he wins. He always plays with his mean [...]

Fighting the Battle of the Bulge

Don’t think that dietitians (or RDs2B for that matter) are all perfect eaters, with daily diets that meet each and every one of the dietary guidelines and reflect the food guide pyramid. I will admit that before starting my dietetic internship and meeting my fellow interns, I was worried that no one else would eat [...]

Andy Murray’s Out!!

Can I just say how I’m loving the ability to watch tennis at the most convenient of times? 
Watching tennis after work, while I’m making dinner – lovely
Watching tennis as I get ready to go to sleep at night – perhaps not relaxing, but quite comfortable :)
Being able to turn on the tennis from my bed [...]

Federer is looking betterer

New Update: Yes!! He won! Congrats Roger, we knew you could do it! Part of me wishes it was a closer game, but that would have had me way too nervous and yelling at the TV set, so this was perfect. I think I scared my roommate enough by my tennis-watching behaviors, haha.
Update: Roger just [...]

Oh yes Federer!

I feel like a crappy fan for not following the tennis much better during the Olympics, but it’s hardly received much coverage from NBC. I checked this morning online to see what was going on, and was so happy to see that Federer and Wawrinka won gold in the mens’ doubles. Yay Roger! He finally [...]

Oh no Federer!

I was shopping today with the roommate, when my evil sister called and shouted into the phone: “DID YOU HEAR? FEDERER LOST!!! HAHA, HE LOST TO BLAKE! AND IT’S SO EXCITING, AND BLAKE WAS BRAGGING ABOUT BEATING THE #1 PLAYER! HAHA! FEDERER LOST!”.
Needless to say, I am not happy with my sister.
But I’m so sad [...]

The greatest tennis I’ve ever seen!

Good evening everyone – I can’t believe I have spent my entire day watching the Wimbledon men’s singles final. I woke up at 7:30, coverage started at 8am, and the trophy was handed out at 3:30pm. Wow. The longest Wimbledons final match in history: 4 hours and 48 minutes. (all that other time was due [...]

Tennis and Reusable Bags

Rainy Saturday afternoon here in Houston. We’ve been getting our usual afternoon storms everyday now, never lasts long though. It’s great weather to stay inside and read a book. Or watch the tennis, which I’ve been doing every day for hours. So far, Wimbledon has been full of surprises – Ivanovic, Djokovic, Sharapova, Roddick, all [...]
