Home sweet home

by Lori and Michelle on October 5, 2009

Hey everyone

We made it…despite having flight delays, which I used to get mad at but over time I have realized getting upset really does not change the situation. But I will admit I do get still get a little frustrated…hey it’s a work in progress.

We started our last day in OKC at 105 degrees for breakfast.  I did wake up feeling a little better, and learned from my friend Averie that the is a reason for me feeling this way…the full moon. She it is okay for me to blame it on the full moon, sounds good to me : )

I ordered the banana almond muffin

We thought we would be productive while we wait to board.

Well at least one of us was actually doing work

As we waited for our connection in Atlanta we enjoyed a few snacks, a.k.a our dinner, that Lori brought with her…carob macaroons, our green onion breads, chocolate truffles….so we did not go hungry at the airports.

I always hear people complain about trying to eat good or healthy when they travel. From our experiences  with traveling and having unique food choices all it takes is a little planning and flexibility. When you travel it is not the best time to set limitations in your diet because you are just creating unnecessary stress, which traveling in general is already stressful, so don’t create unwanted stress. Enjoy yourself…bring along some of your favorite snacks….drink water…and have a POSITIVE attitude :) and you will survive you travels! As we all know your mind will either break or make your trip!!

I must admit I am not a person who loves to unpack and clean when I get back home. I normally have a nice meal and then get to bed early, but I am going to try to change that….starting tonight I am going to unpack my bags, start laundry, and do some work, which has piled up over this last week since both Lori and I were on “vacation”.

We wanted to say we are sad to hear about Gourmet magazine. It was a one of the best…it will be missed!

Twins Question: Do you pack immediately when you get home from traveling? Or do you live out of your bags for a few days? What are you tips or motivation to unpacking and cleaning?

Till next time,

Michelle & Lori

Glad you liked my moon musings. I read your comment bright n early today on my blog, feels like a lifetime ago but thank you for it :) And I always travel with my own food…dear god, gluten/soy/dairy/egg free, and vegan..i better bring my own food or starve!

Unpacking and the mail? I always say I am just going to go to bed when i get home but I get a 2nd wind and cannot go to bed without unpacking and going thru the mail. I am an anal freak though and certain things like unfinished/partially disorganized piles of crap drive me bonkers so I couldnt sleep anyway….so I just do it all. Then sleep. It’s nothing I would actually wish on someone else, I have no advice, it’s just my own weird thing :)
