Ready, Set, Jet!

Okay, It's actually just a few days after Christmas and a still few days till the new year. I'm already back at work, big surprise, yeah? Well, to be more accurate I'm attempting to work. See, not a soul actually works this week. Even if you are in the office, you can't really work because all the people you need to deal with are out on vacation for the holidays, of course. #FML I haven't bought all that much since Christmas, if you exclude food, lol. Just picked up a few things online. I really need to start shopping for all the upcoming trips. #Nothing2Wear Thank goodness for Amazon Pantry, lol. The fruit stash was running low! I finally got a chance to try this new tea. It was one of the teas included in the Vegan Cuts December snack box, remember? (Click here to see it.) It was really good and flavorful. If you like licorice you will like it. I will definitely be buying a box. #Score I know I talk about having wanderlust, but honestly it's lovely to just sit by the fireplace and drink tea. Its been cold lately, but it is winter after all and I don't particularly want to go anywhere. I was invited to a couple of New Years Eve parties. So I may have to leave the fire long enough to make an appearance at least. And Yes, yes I know say that every year and end up going and staying longer than I intended and having a great time. I know, I know… So I made another trip into town to purchase champagne or wine or something for the parties. There were so many different kinds and lots of pretty bottles. #Shiny Not as pretty of course, but good wine!
I hope you have a great New Year! How was your holiday? I hope you went somewhere far off and totally fun.

What are your favourites? Comment below! So, let us continue the 30 day challenge. If you want to read past post click here. Where did we leave off? #21 Something that has stood the test of time? The mountains, OMG The Mountains! I love the mountains so much. They are always changing, but have definitely survived the test of time. If you follow me on SnapChat then you know I take pictures of the mountains, (dormant) volcanoes and "hills" almost daily! I'm so grateful I am able to live here in their shadow. #22 Cool Weather appareal: #23 A bright sunshiny day: Well, thats most days in New Mexico. Although lately it has been overcast and raining. (I love it!) #24 A gray, overcast day: #25 Stop and smell the flowers or anything from nature: Thank goodness, only 5 more to go!
It's great being back in New York. I started this trip from ABQ (New Mexico) you can read about it here, if you haven't already. I'm also attempting to catch up on some of the old posts I have started but never bothered to finish, like the Strawberry post and a few others. #WishMeLuck Anyway, here are a few random bits of my adventures from this week... I had business in Rockville, yes, thats an actual place. (See map) Rockville is a commuter community connected to New York by the Long Island Rail Road. So you are really close to everything but also have a nice small town feel too. I finished up with clients and headed to Freshark a few times each day. The food was really good, not cheap, but good. Lunch for two - Smoothes and sandwiches will cost you $40usd - But its all fresh and locally sourced and really good. I recommend it - When I find good vegan food I stick with it! So when I wasn't in Freshark I was roaming around exploring. The city is pretty safe and on the weekend lots of people are out walking aroud shopping and relaxing. Then it started snowing! But I kept shopping, lol. Next post will be on my Iceland Adventures!
Catch you later- And just in time the December Vegan Cuts Snack box has arrived! Who needs sugary, artificial crap when we can snack on organic, healthy treats like these! I am always surpised - there are so many healthy products I never knew existed! These healthy, authenic foods make you happy as you snack on them! Now that the day is over I'm going for a real run and then back home to watch the rest of Timless and snack - See you on the coach, lol
It's hard to believe but on the 22nd my blog will be 4 years old! So much has happened in the last 4 years I can't even begin to list it all. My life has changed in so many amazing ways and I have met so many awesome people over the last 4 years. I started this blog as a personal way to keep up with my trips, odd purchases, best cafe finds, life events and recipes. You know, personal shit that no one would care about but me, but somehow you found it and read my posts, then came back for more. #WTF?! But seriously, since 2012 it has evolved into so much more. I have shared much more of my personal life than I ever thought I would, but I have also met some incredible people too. You still don't leave comments on the posts, but email me wonderful messages. Thank you for your continued support and love! If you want to read the beginning posts…they are short of course, Click here. Mostly it's Chritsmas stuff, me bitching about my mother and talking about the world not ending. Do you remember that was a big thing way back in 2012? Since 2012 I have written 350 blog posts under “Travel” - Meanwhile “Loot” has 105 entries while “Food” has a huge 242 posts, not surprisingly 69 of those were “Vegan”. “TMI” 42 - soon to be 43 as I will file this under that topic, lol. Surprisingly I only have 25 entries on “Dating” yet every month I am asked dating advice and those posts are read religiously. Shaking my head, ya'll know I'm divorced, right? You've seen my hair change colour many times over the years. You have also seen my obsession with filters and stickers and you have pardoned my blurring photos. But most importantly you have continued to read my random nonsense. I want to say thank you! And thank you for putting up with my long absences, which are growing more and more frequent. Thank you for reading, your kind emails and your friendship. It means the world to me! 2017 looks likes it going to be a crazy, fast paced year full of adventures. I hope you can come along for the ride! |
