Stranded in the South!
Hey y’all! Well, as many of you predicted (and as I worried about all yesterday and last night), my flight to DC this morning was cancelled—big surprise, right? Luckily, Ryan worked all morning on the phone with the airline, and finally got me rebooked through Philadelphia tomorrow. What a great husband—anytime we have to call any sort of customer service (for flights, computers, i-pods…whatever), he always makes the call…and waits, on hold FOREVER…and never loses his temper (well, almost never). I’m lucky to have him!
Hopefully everything goes okay with my flight tomorrow…I don’t teach until Tuesday, so as long as I can get home by then, I’ll be fine!
The good news is that it is a beautiful day here in Shreveport! I’m so happy that we’re finally getting some sun! This morning, I woke up feeling (unsurprisingly) not so hot, so I was happy to get a healthy start to the day with this breakfast:
Ezekial toast with almond butter (1 tsp.) and Earth Balance (1 tsp.), plus fresh fruit and a dollop of Green yogurt. Yum!
After breakfast, my mom and I headed out for a 3 mile walk. After the three miles, she went back home but I continued for another 4, running. It felt so great to run outside in the sun! I hate how much of a slave I become to the treadmill in the winter…running outside is just so much more fun!
After my run, I dealt with some more flight hassles (arghghghgh!!!), showered, and dressed, and then my mom and I sat down for some lunch. Just like breakfast, we kept it simple and healthy:
La Tortilla Factory Wrap with Sabra red pepper hummus (I hadn’t tried this flavor before, but I liked it! It tasted kind of like pimento cheese!), spinach, and grape tomatoes, along with fresh fruit. I also finished off the rest of my Fage from this morning. YUM! This is the first Greek yogurt I’ve had since the Vegan challenge ended, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
This afternoon, we’re going to another parade…a PET parade!!! I’m so excited! It’s the crewe of “Barkus and Meoux”—isn’t that cute? My parents always take our dogs, but I’ve never gotten to go because I live so far away! I’m super excited to see all of the dogs in their costumes—it’s a patriotic petriotic theme, but our dogs are only wearing Mardi Gras beads…kind of lame, but it’s better than nothing, right?
I’m not sure what I’m doing tonight for the game. My mom is going over to another couple’s house to watch with some of her friends, but I’m not sure what my sister and her husband are doing. A lot of my family is also watching over at my aunt and uncle’s house, so I might go over there. I didn’t think I was going to get to watch it at all, so this at least is a nice surprise!
See you tonight!
Here are a few more pictures from the parade last night:
Definitely a good hubby!!! Enjoy the game tonight!! (even though you are the enemy!!!) haha!!
Awe… what a sweet hubby! You definitely don’t want to fly into DC.
My mother-in-law was suppose to leave on Saturday, but can’t get a flight out until Tuesday!
Very sweet hubby! Mmmm, the berries look amazing!
I’m crossing my fingers that you get home okay! travel in the winter is terrible
Breakfast looked great! Glad you had some sunshine there. Wish we’d get some. Dreary. I can’t wait to be able to get outside for a run again. I’m jealous! I love that flavor of the Sabra hummus. I love just about anything with roasted red bell pepper though! Hope you can get back home tomorrow.
So jealous of your outside run, I hate the cold weather!
Good luck on getting back tomorrow
Glad you are safe with family and not stranded somewhere.
Hmm… I should get Chris to do customer service calls too because I am horrible at staying patient when I have to wait on hold for problems that I don’t feel are my fault (yeah… trying to work on that).
YAY FOR FAGE 2% .. you brought it in with a bang!
have fun with your familia!
Bummer about your flight. At least you’re somewhere warm! And that fruit looks excellent.
Have you tried Sabra supremely spicy hummus? That’s my favorite flavor.
sorry youre stranded but hey, at least youre with family
and you’re getting home.
the pics in your prev post of the shower…wow, everyone looks so joyous and happy and lovely. I wish i could have been there…i love showers and fun stuff like that! Makes me smile on the inside
Both breakfast and lunch look so delicious and fresh! Hope you have a safe and easy trip home tomorrow!
What a great husband! I am always the one who has to sit on the phone and dael with customer service so I can really appreciate how much he must have gone through to get you a new flight!
Hope you have a safe trip home!
AW you are one lucky woman to have a husband like that!
I hate the treadmill too. I’m so thankful for it but running outside is So much better.
What an awesome hubby! I hate making calls like that so hopefully there’s someone around who doesn’t mind.
I neglect my outside running in the winter too.. I just hate running in the cold and I hate running in pants! It’s boring but the treadmill at least allows me to wear shorts all year round.
The pet parade sounds adorable! Haha.. have fun.
