Today I flew back home to Southern California after nine days to see my love that I was missing… and the man too. Yeah, yeah, I missed the dog and him.
My mom is so sweet that she cut up a bunch of fruit and veggies for me to take because she knows I’m too cheap to buy an airplane meal.
Jimmy Choos, yes. Overpriced sandwich, way out of my budget.
I saw the Rogue Ales Public House at the Portland Airport – the Rogue Brewery is in Astoria and I ran by it everyday on the waterfront path.
I’m not a beer drinker so I just took a picture like a touristy weirdo.
Did a little blog work before my plane arrived.
Because I’m a master of booking the cheapest yet most indirect flights possible, we went to San Francisco first.
The Virgin America terminal there is pretty sweet: it’s modern and open with a lot of different food options including one of Iron Chef Cat Cora’s restaurants.
Hi, overpriced yet so bright and colorful friends.
I had a coffee because I’m an addict and am trying to turn my teeth the same color as that coffee sleeve.
I slept on my first flight and read on my second. My SIL generously let me borrow Bridget Jone’s Diary. She told me to be really careful with her copy – I think it’s a signed first edition. ha.
The book is kinda cute in a fun Chick Lit sorta way and kinda annoying in a Confessions of a Shopaholic way where you just want to punch her in the face. hard.
I’m almost done with it but before I could get in any good right hooks, we landed in the City of Angels the best looking waitresses and valet attendants around.
My stud man just got back from Scotland yesterday and brought me some treats, a Starbucks City Country mug and candy. I collect Sbux mugs and I also collect empty calories… in my thighs.
He knows the way to my heart.
One bag of candy is already like the castles in Scotland: history.

Did he love the new hair?? Speaking of love, those gray boots are rad. I forced several celebrities to take their picture last night at a benefit auction I attended, and I thought of you! Not that you would force celebrities into taking their picture with you. Or maybe you would, but I was thinking more of your love for celebs.
Did you not get anything at the candy store in the airport?!
no, it was really pricey.
Airport food is $$$$!
I have a crush on your gray boots. They are super cute! Whenever I am at the airport or anywhere for that matter, I will always pick up a coffee, because I am also an addict. I don’t know when it becomes a problem, but I’m denying it for now
Hey are those skinny jeans or tights that you’re wearing? Looks good with the boots.
skintight, spray painted on jeans.
Uh you’re awesome because you run and have amazing shoes!
enjoy your candy and your new coffee mug!
I’m like you – I’d rather have nice shoes than a sandwich at the airport. They are so overpriced! The Starbucks mugs are great and huge for coffee (or tea), my boyfriend has one from Canada and it takes way more water from the kettle than I ever expect so then I’m left with a half a normal mug for myself, lol.
Shoes are much more important then airport food!
I agree about Bridget Jones Diary … and Confessions of a Shopoholic, for that matter. I kind of enjoyed both books, but I also kind of wanted to scream in both of their faces because they were being so dumb!
Those bags of candy look so good!
I found you through Runs for Cookies, and I have to say we are a lot alike in that I, too, collect empty calories. Also? I’m totally using the word “weirdo” at least twice today. I believe it’s completely underused. Well done.
thanks for reading!
I collect those mugs too! Unfortunately my cat broke my Miami one two weeks ago.
Glad you made it home safe and sound! What does Marni do while you guys are out of town?
she stays with our older neighbor across the street. we had to board one time about 4 years ago and i literally cried at the doggie kennel. embarrassing.
The Scotland mug is nice, nicer than the city mugs here. I can’t collect the mugs due to a serious case of miniature kitchen, but I do have one from Vancouver from our honeymoon!
Nice job on the mug Jay!
Glad you both had safe travels!!
I hope your hubby brought back some kind of Scottish tartan hat for Marnie!
Your boots are rockin’!!
Welcome back! So happy you got to spend quality time with your family!
Thank you so much for your blog. I am a brand new runner and you fully inspire me. I found you while I was looking into the tinkerbell half marathon which will officially be my first.
Have a great week!
