New York City Bound

October 28, 2009

I’m off to New York City this morning! I have a couple of business meetings there, so I am taking a little day trip via Acela, which DEPARTS at 6:10 AM. 8-O Super early, right? Thankfully, I don’t live far from South Station, but it’s still a really early morning!

And, for that reason, I prepared this post last night! ;-)

Breakfast

I packed my breakfast last night to take with me this morning: peanut butter and honey sandwich on raisin bread with a banana. I’ll likely purchase a cup of coffee on the train ride down. I’m sure I’ll need it!

I also packed a Glo Bar and an apple as snacks. I don’t know what’s up for lunch and dinner, so better be prepared than hungry!

I packed my breakfast and snacks in my new “business” bag:

Can you guess where I bought it? You might be surprised! ;-)

Murphy

(Murphy has his own heading on CNC now! ;-) )

Mr. Murphy didn’t want me to leave this morning. Look at that sad face!

Don’t go, Mom!!!

I’m headed back to Boston tonight, so my little pug and I won’t be apart for long.

Murphy may be the cutest pug ever. EVER.
Before reading blogs and creating my own, I never know how amazing oats are!

Speedy trains are awesome! I remember taking the AVE in spain from Seville to Madrid in 2 hours when friends of ours took the bus for 6. Much better.

The best advice I got from blogs was the green monster. Honestly it was super simple this morning and kept me full like oats. Nice change of pace. I can’t believe I waited so long to try it.

General tips have been new, healthy, and tasty foods to eat: agave nectar, oatmeal, flaxseed, adora tablets, organic cinnamon toast crunch (a recent purchase – well worth it!), and recipes (mac and cheese with cauliflower should be illegal, but it’s not :) ). All things I never would have heard of if I hadn’t read Carrots n’ Cake!

Reading your recent posts inspired me to buy cinnamon raisin bread at the store yesterday. It makes a great breakfast if toasted and given a small swipe of butter.
