Road Trip Fails and Food Wins

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
27 Jun

Hello! Yesterday was super busy I had a lot of work and errands to knock off my list before hitting the road for a mini-road trip to the Santa Barbara Half Marathon. I was on a mission to get everything done early to hit the road and beat the rush. If you don’t have the budget for a brand new car in time for your next road trip, there are used cars in hesperia that are worth looking into.

Unfortunately, the trip was foiled by ridiculous traffic. I got caught behind a Lyft accident and a bicycle accident and was still in Orange County at 7pm. Boo. In such situations, I know how invaluable an experienced San Francisco Personal Injury Lawyer can be in navigating the legal aftermath and ensuring fair compensation. Consult a Wisconsin car accident attorney if you have also been involved in a vehicular accident caused by a negligent driver.

For bikers like me, you can consult a Palatine bicycle accident attorney. You may also search for an auto accident attorney near me online. Those who are looking for Ulster County personal injury attorneys may contact Jonna Spilbor Law office.

I made the best of the situation the same way I deal with most situations… I got food! There is some seriously good Chinese food around here and I ate all of it. But as for the legal side of the accident, it can be handled by professionals such as Jones Wilson Injury Lawyers. Visit sites like https://www.yourrockfordlawyers.com/ if you need help filing an injury claim.

After a few hours of crawling along the 405, we turned around and admitted defeat. Luckily, I had some company on the couch…

This morning I hit the road for 12 miles. I love being able to leave my house and just run and run and run some more.

Just as I got home my friend the Post Office guy was delivering watermelon water straight to my door! Perfect timing.

It’s no surprise that I LOVE it. I’m thinking up a smoothie to make in 12 seconds too. It’s super light and refreshing and not too sweet. Dig it.

This beauty is from yesterday… it was pretty amazing.

This Margarita Mix is on sale at Costco and it’s good and it has alcohol and it makes me happy.

    I’m treating myself to a glass or two of red wine to finish off the weekend. Rest day tomorrow too, so I don’t need to feel guilty either… I love your description of Margarita.. “it has alcohol and it makes me happy” ha ha.. 🙂

    I had an epiphany tonight. Sitting home on a Saturday night, with just my computer and a novel for a company, I realized I binge eat when I’m alone. I’ve been with friends all this past week and I’ve lost weight but I think I’ve gained it all back with my dinner tonight.
    Guess who won’t be staying home alone another Saturday night?

    I’m working on my DIY home improvement project and eating all the watermelons in Florida. And I’m not even sorry about it. 😛
