Oh to be HOME!

I woke up after 8 solid hours of sleep in my own bed and I must say I feel much better!  Still a scratchy throat and a bit flushed, but doing better!

Yesterday of course was driving from Las Cruces, NM to SoCal to get home, which took my dad and I 11.5 hrs.  I drove the first 4, and him the last 7.5…cause I was not feeling well.  And to help out my immune system I chugged this baby in Arizona:

It tasted like Gatorade (which I absolutely HATE) but w/o the super sugary taste and the film that gets left on your teeth (thanks goodness)! I definitely think it helped though!

And check out the huge Saguaro cactus they were transporting:

These cactuses take a very long time to grow and are very very fragile…it’s actually a crime to break them down to deface them.  So don’t hurt em’, there could be a fine against you. ;)

I started this morning with a great breakfast…but was wishing I had the ingredients for the bowl of oats that Bobbi had:

Mine included:

  • 1/3C rolled oats
  • 1T dried raspberries
  • 1 banana
  • 1T natural PB
  • Lots of cinnamon

And some awesome and fun things in the blog world:

Congrats to Jenn!

I'm glad I'm not the only Gatorade hater! I don't understand how people can drink that stuff. Glad the Vitamin Water passes the test though :)
