Hello!! How’s it going? I had the longest day of travel yesterday. When are we going to get a high speed plane that goes across the country in 20 minutes? C’mon science!! But before I left I did something special for my little brother. Let’s talk about it…
What you see: me eating a cupcake
What really happened: I made special surprise cupcakes for my lil brother’s birthday that he’ll get when I’m gone. More on that later.
What you see: Vegas sleeping on my suitcase because he didn’t want me to leave.
What really happened: Vegas slept somewhere new because he could, but he doesn’t care if I’m dead or alive. In fact, if I was dead he would probably just sleep on me.
What you see: A plane.
What really happened: I woke up before the sun to get in a run, get ready to leave, get Vegas ready (cat stuff like litter box and food), slap on way too much eyeliner… and rush to my parents house so I could get a ride to LAX. I make it barely on time as always, and have 2 minutes to snap a picture before I get on the plane.
What you see: A random meal of veggies and chicken.
What really happened: I ate this healthy meal on my flight from LAX to CLT and my seat mate said he wanted a bite. Seriously.
What you see: Donuts.
What really happened: Ben showed up at the airport with donuts to buy my love. Yep, he knows just how to do it.
What you see: Running shoes in the sand.
What really happened: I packed these new-to-me Brooks Ghost running shoes instead of my usual ones because I didn’t want to stink up my other clothes. I used to wear Brooks Pure line all the time, but it’s been a while.
What you see: George hanging out.
What really happened: He meowed like he wanted to go out so I opened the door, he peeked out, decided he didn’t want to go outside after all. Then, he meowed for me to pet him. And when I went to pet him he walked away.
What you see: Iced coffee by the pool
What it really is: The best iced coffee in the world. I don’t know why Ben’s parents’ coffee maker is so amazing, they just use regular coffee from the store (like Maxwell House or something) but it’s the BEST. I drink it all day until I’m buzzed.

I make great coffee if I do say so myself- come over to London whenever you fancy 😛
The last time I flew i was super sick of eating plane food so I packed a shit ton of quest bars and trail mix and just nommed on that for 12 hours straight!

Coffee? Yes, I love coffee. I LOVE it!!! I have a Keurig at home and make it with Newman’s Own breakfast blend or hazelnut. I love it. Not crazy about the stronger roast coffees. I have a regular coffee pot at work and I use Dunkin Donuts coffee for that. I would kill for a Dunkin Donuts coffee. World’s best.
Sure, come over. I’d love to have coffee with you.
Elaine says
I make the best coffee! I have a Mr. Coffee Jr. that is about 20 years old and use only Dunkin Donuts in Old Fashioned Donut flavor. Add a little Coffee-mate sugar-free Italian Sweet Cream.
Folks in my office are always asking if they can have some.
Tess says
I love my Mr coffee Jr. It’s the original keurig… Brilliant

No, when are we going to harness the power of teleportation? That’s the real question here.

OMG…if you are bored (doubt it) go to my site and look at the last two posts with pictures of my cats sleeping together!! UGH!! Hubby was the cat lover (and convinced me you just can’t have one)I am the dog lover (we have one). Hubby is still the cat lover and after 8 years I am still wondering WHY??? Why have a cat??? They sleep, they puke, we have to clean up after them ~ both ends, (I know you know), they jump at the slightest noises, they meow at early hours, they love rubbing on your leg or head when doing a plank but DON’T try to pet them or they are gone.
Seriously, can’t figure them out!!
We are headed to Disney for Christmas!!!! Can’t wait to fly again….

I’m with you on the plane thing. Yadda yadda yadda, it’s the journey not the destination… whatever. Just get me where I’m going super quick please!
And I drink decaf. You probably don’t want my coffee. 🙂

Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I am obsessed with newmans own special blend coffee. I have a keurig and it is the only Kcups I will use. It’s what I look forward to every night when I finish dinner. 🙂
KC says
No more Hokas??!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I wish teleporting was possible already! I love traveling but the hassle it takes to get to places just sucks. Have fun in Florida with Ben.
James @ HalfMarathonJames says
Wow, Maxwell House???? Oh dear oh dear oh dear…. Lavazza is all that I would buy, that stuff is amazing…

last time I was on a plane, my “seatmate” gave me a small bottle of champagne! I think I would have requested a new mate if they wanted to eat my food. This Mommabear when hungry is just a BEAR! Thanks for keeping me inspired to continue my journey to run my first full in May ’16. I have a cat, Max is his name he’s 15 and in his eyes ruler of the world, meows to open the door so he can sniff then you must close it cause he doesn’t like the coldness…cat’s are weird!!
