Tying Loose Ends

July 17, 2009

Good afternoon!

Since today has been crazy so far and its already 3:00 (!!) I’m going to have to unfortunately say that ELR Wine 101 has been cancelled today. Remember how excited you used to (or still do?) get when your college professor cancelled your classes??! Not sure if this is quite the same thing but anyhoo….. ;)

So this morning around 9:00 I finally started getting hungry from my run. How strange! I finished off the cottage cheese with 1/4 cup MojaMix + almond butter—

There really wasn’t much cottage cheese in the container (maybe ~1/3 cup?) but it was still a good and satisfying crunch!
I’m been packing and organizing up a storm. My mom let me borrow her cute bag to carry-on with the “essentials” ;)

NEVER before have I ever been paranoid that my luggage would get lost, but you just never know and tomorrow would be a very, very, very bad day for it to actually happen. So! I packed a change of clothes that, in the case my luggage is lost, I can change into at the hotel for dinner. Knock on wood, knock on wood!!!!!!
We’ve got:
  • Comfy bankie
  • Comfy pillow
  • eye mask (this is for my red eye back home!)
  • SOCKS! Don’t you feet always FREEZE on airplanes?! Mine do!
  • larabars
  • contact solution so I can switch from glasses to contacts before landing
  • toothpaste
  • ipod with new “california” playlists
  • journal
  • new book!!
  • change of clothes + super cute heels
  • makeup

Oh wait…and this stuff too……..

What???! A girls gotta be prepared for everything these days ;)

I also have already checked in, gotten my seat assignments and boarding passes. I just can’t believe US Air is really charging $20 to check a bag……..ridiculous.

Lunch was a big spinach salad with a Sunshine Falafel burger, hummus and hot sauce with some Uncle Kracker lovin’

After I ate, I took some time for myself. I laid pool-side and read a book and then did a 40 minute YogaDownload centered on opening the heart to compassion and kindness (Power Yoga 4: Donation Class). I ADORE this class. I was feeling a migraine get started before I practiced and it was literally GONE afterwards. I swear, all those forward folds and triangle poses really do help migraines go away….naturally!

Anyone wanna come over for a snack?! ;) This was my second attempt at Gena’s banana soft serve and it turned out FABULOUS—much better than before even!!!! I used 1.5 bananas, blended away in the VitaMix and then topped my “ice cream” with raw cacao nibs. Holy potassium!!!!! This tasted just as amazing as it looks, I assure you! Definitely the best way to eat a banana….or two.

Ryan’s coming home early tonight and we are going out to dinner to celebrate……the trip? Sort of like a “last supper” of sorts. Not sure where we are headed to yet but I will blog later tonight and give you a recap! Perhaps Bonefish….. :)

Please help support my girl, Meghan, as she sells $10 e-cookbooks for her Team in Training fund!! Meghan is actually running the Nike Half WITH me and I’m so excited to meet her out there and run for an amazing cause!

That is all. I hate to say it, but the pool is REALLY calling my name again! See you in a bit :)

Great idea to pack a change of your clothes in your carry-on just in case!! And yes, my feet DO always freeze on planes :P

I’ve been seeing those falafel sunshine burgers a lot lately, they sound so good!!

Time Traveler’s Wife is my favorite book of all time; the first 50 pages or so can be hard to get into, because it’s confusing, but stick with it.
GOOD LUCK IN CALI!!!

Good luck and remember that even if you do not get the position, it is an awesome opportunity to fly out to California and do all this cool stuff. And then something even better will come along!

Great book! Don’t forget to check the movie, it comes out 14 August!

Ooh, I’m planning to read The Time Traveler’s Wife myself after I finish up Sunday’s at Tiffany’s (another wonderful read)

Yogi Tea is my favorite. I was thinking of how it would taste chilled….
