I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m travelling all over Oregon this week for work (not really all over, mainly the Portland, Eugene, Corvallis area). It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only Tuesday and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve only had one night away from home\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I miss my bed already. Not to mention my sweet puppy and Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.home sick, not fun! <\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also missing the ability to make dinner and control my lunch. Yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s food included Starbucks at 7am on the drive to Portland, some fruit from the health fair\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s buffet, a random piece of chocolate cake around noon, licorice and crackers on the drive to Eugene, Thai takeout for dinner. All fairly yummy, but my tummy wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t in it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I felt sick all night and just wanted some home food and cuddling on the couch. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an organic soup\/sandwich\/salad place near my hotel that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking about trying out for dinner tonight. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see what they have at today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fair in terms of lunch and how I feel when I get back to the hotel. <\/p>\n
The good news is that my hotel has a fitness center and I spent half an hour on the bike and elliptical (total, not each) yesterday before dinner, so at least I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pushing myself back into the workout habit. The last couple weeks have NOT been very fitness-full, so now that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m done with that editing project, I should be able to get back into a routine! Hooray! <\/p>\n
Exciting news!! Today is the start of Erin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s<\/a> bake sale\/auction! Check it out<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6there are a TON of goodies. Snacks, baked goods, random gift-type items, personalized products from a variety of very talented people by the looks of it! All of the money from the auction is going to a wonderful cause, so I definitely recommend checking it out! I am contributing another round of nut butter cups, and I got some tips from Angelea<\/a> and others about some better packaging\/shipping methods! The last time I sent them to Dori<\/a>, they seemed to travel fine, but maybe because it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no longer freezing cold winter, they got a little melty on their way to Angelea. But she still vouches for their yumminess, so bid away!!<\/p>\n In other excitement, Dori is having the first of two giveaways<\/a> this week! Since she has had some not-so-great luck with doormats, a really fun doormat online store is giving one of her readers a free doormat of their choices (under $20) from their website!! This is a great chance to enter a pretty unique giveaway contest from a SUPER uniquely fun blogger! If you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read Dori\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog<\/a>, set aside a chunk of your day, because it is hilarious and you will want to click through her blog to read her adventures!<\/p>\n
