Howdy!
I don’t know how I am going to be able to concentrate at work today. All I keep thinking about is hitting the slopes. Swoosh, swoosh!
So I’ve done a fair bit of traveling over the past few years. I’ve been to Paris, London, South Africa, Hawaii, Spain, San Diego, San Francisco, Tahoe, Denver, and several other cities for the bazillion weddings we went to in 2007.
Lots of traveling = lots of experience with packing a suitcase.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all of my travels, it’s to pack light and roll your clothes.
I swear I can fit twice as much in my suitcase when I roll my clothes.
I don’t roll items in the zip up compartment though. I just lay them flat. That’s usually where my underwear, socks, bathing suits, or hats/gloves in this case go. Oh, and that flowery thing is an eye mask, not a bra :)
In the past 5 years or so, I have only checked my suitcase twice. Once was on our honeymoon when we brought home several bottles of wine from Cape Town, and once was this past Christmas when I received lotions as a gift.
I always, always, pack in a carry on suitcase because I dread, I repeat DREAD having to check my bag and wait at baggage claim. I also hate when baggage gets lost. I would much rather have a smaller selection of clothes :)
How about you guys, do you roll ‘em or fold ‘em when packing your clothes?
Chris is a folder. It’s amazing we’re still together.

Anywho-ha….
I wanted to give my legs a little break yesterday because they were a tad bit sore from my run on Sunday. But it was gorgeous out and I wanted to enjoy that last bit of sunlight when I got home from work.
So what did I do?
Jumped Rope!
Hey, where’s my chin??
Oh, there it is. With a big, fat dimple in it.
Chris got in on the action as well.
He even got a little fancy.
Show off.
I have no idea how long I jump roped for. I didn’t count or have a watch, I just had fun with it.
Nylah and Milo (who we’re dog sitting) watched us patiently from the dog park.
They quickly lost interest though.
Since our fridge is empty, with the exception of beer, we got take out pizza and salad for dinner last night.
Once humongous slice of cheese.
And a bowl of Greek salad.
The best Greek salad in Durham is at Randy’s Pizza. Seriously.
And I couldn’t resist tasting a new beer! Plus, pizza and beer go hand in hand.
Sierra Nevada Hefeweizen. What took you so long to come out with a Hefeweizen, SN? My favorite!
Dessert was red wine and cookies while watching Jason & Molly get hitched.![]()
Their wedding was a lot less cheesy than I expected. And kudos to Molly for being a trooper in the rain! Did you know her wedding gown was $45,000?! Yowzers.
*******
Fruit smoothies were on the menu for breakfast again this morning.
It was the same exact combo as last week.
Not as many bubbles but just as delicious.
I also had a whole wheat English muffin.
With Mara Natha almond butter.
This breakfast made for a very happy belly :)
Gotta roll! hehehehe…
Not sure when I’ll be back, but I will do my best to keep you updated during my travels!
