In the past 48 hours, Mal and I traveled to Medford, Oregon and back again. It was quite a whirlwind trip. Or should I refer to it as a “time warp”? The whole gain/lose 3 hours thing always feels so weird to me. Plus, Mal and I barely slept in the past two days, so we’re all messed up (aka exhausted) as demonstrated by this photo of Mal sleepwalking:
Today’s travels started at 4:00 AM with a quick flight from Medford to Portland. Thankfully, we had no issues getting out of Medford. Remember that hellish trip in 2009?
Breakfast
At the Portland airport, Mal and I grabbed breakfast at Starbucks. I got oatmeal to which I added nuts and sliced banana. I also ordered an iced soy latte, which I pretty much chugged in 60 seconds.
On the flight to Boston, I got some studying done.
And then read a couple of magazines.
Surprisingly, the flight home flew by, and before I knew it, we were back in Boston. Home sweet home!
Dinner
I never really ate lunch today—I ate some pretzel mix and a molasses cookie that the airline gave us on the plane—so when I got home I was absolutely famished. As soon as I walked in the door, I stuffed two handfuls of Pretzel Chips in my mouth and then made some scrambled eggs with cheese and buffalo sauce. It wasn’t the healthiest dinner, but I was starving and wanted food ASAP.
After dinner, I whipped up a mug of caramel-flavored hot cocoa made with soy milk and a big scoop of Fluff.
Mmm! I forgot how much I like hot cocoa.
Now, Mal and I are chilling on the couch in our “movie suits” and catching up with our DVR. We have an early bedtime planned tonight.
So happy to be home!!!!!
P.S. I’m not picking the winners of the giveaways until Monday morning, so you still have time to enter!

I love the feeling of lounging at home after being away, especially if a lot of that time away was spent on travel. I’m glad you made it home safe!
That is quite a whirlwind! Glad you’re home safely!
HEY! I live in Medford, Oregon! About 5 minutes from the airport to be precise! I actually spent the last 3 days back in my hometown of Portland and was on the road heading back to Meddy bright and early this morning. We have pretty much done nothing all day.
Whoa that was quite the trip! Glad you arrived back safe! What did you go so quickly there for?
Have a good night
p.s. I LOVE carmel hot cocoa. THE best.
What a long day! Hope you get some good rest
I never thought about putting fluff in cocoa. Awesome!
Whew, that was a fast trip!
Welcome back!! I’m loving that it’s hot chocolate season. Yum!
Hot chocolate sounds excellent right now.
That’s a lot of travel for 48 hours! I’d definitely be in bed by 9pm.

Wow what a quick trip! I bet it sure does feel good to be home. Now I’m wanting hot cocoa!
Wow, I’ve never thought of putting fluff in my cocoa! Sweet!

You put FLUFF in your cocoa? Why are you my favorite person ever.
I love trips, but I hate when they are so fast and leave me feeling wiped.
Welcome back!
I’m with you on the hot cocoa…last night my BFF had a Christmas party complete with this absolutely RIDICULOUS hot chocolate made with chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, cream, and milk. Yeah, it was amazing! And LOVE that pic of you and Mal…too funny!
Both of those magazines are sitting on my coffee table right now…great minds must think alike!
I always wonder if the Starbucks oatmeal is any good…maybe I’ll give it a chance next time I’m out and hungry. With finals right now, I feel like I LIVE at Starbucks.
Your hot chocolate looks delicious! I love the fluff…ever tried it with peanut butter on saltines? SO GOOD/tastes like childhood.
Welcome home!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Wow what a whirlwind weekend! Hope chill time is on the agenda for Sunday!
ohhhh i have done this quick trip farrrr too many times on the reverse! i’m from mass living in Seattle now!! I love reading your blog, not just for the healthy tips but seeing all the fun you have on the east coast! oh how i miss it
I have a container of Fluff in my pantry right now. Why have I NEVER thought to put it in my cocoa?!
Phew that sounds tiring! I bet it feels good to be home.
I’ve never tried Fluff before but I’m thinking I need to change that. LOVE your idea to have it on hot chocolate!
So glad you made it home safely.
Hot chocolate looks yummy!
Mmm you should try chai tea with a scoop of hot chocolate mix – it is divine!
