Randomness of the Week

by Elizabeth on May 23, 2012

1,  I always share my weekly plan with yall in order to have a plan and to stick to it.  This week is definitely a bit off track-but in a good way.  Lots of fun things going on but I can’t share until I have all of my “New to me cross training” complete.  Then it gets one big blog post!

2.  I don’t know about yall, but I go through phases in my cooking/eating out. It’s probably because I live alone and don’t have kids but planning my meals out can be tough.  And since I am in my car during the day, lunch can be tricky.  Well, I am in training all week stuck in front of a computer but it leaves me with the ability to sit and enjoy breakfast and lunch at home.

Breakfast (everyday so far) has been a half bagel, smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers and fruit. YUM.  I made a quinoa salad yesterday to eat all week that was randomly put together (no real recipe).  I used 1 cup cooked quinoa, chopped red and green bell pepper, grape tomatoes, feta cheese, white beans (thought I had chick peas but was out), and salt and pepper to taste.  Very easy and good!

don’t you love my old school tupperware?

P and I had left overs from Sunday night’s dinner last night.  Another cooking light one, Stir-Fried Pork with Broccoli and Cashews-but this wasn’t my fav. Not sure I would make it again.  And tomorrow night I am going with my tried and true Cheesy Meatloaf Minis from Cooking light too.  I will also be baking these muffins for our trip to Huntsville this weekend.  See a pattern? Yes, I love Cooking Light.

4.  You didn’t think I would forget about the Showerpill giveaway winner did you?  Random number generator picked:

Congrats Kim!  I know you like to be seen out and about town in your running clothes so this works out nicely for you :)

5.  WOOHOO!!  My flight is booked for Hood to Coast!  I bit the bullet and spent the money.  It didn’t look like flights were going to go down at all.  So, I am getting into Seattle late Monday night and staying with Alma.  We will play and eat all around Seattle Tuesday and I hope to get to meet up with other bloggers on Tuesday night too.  Wednesday begins the NUUN festivities.  Fast forward to time to leave and I went ahead and booked the 10am flight home.  It cost $100 more but the thought of making an 8am flight after not sleeping from my first relay race doesn’t sound fun.  And you can bet I booked a window seat to sleep on the way back.

6.  Speaking of window seats, I emailed Delta about my flight back home on Sunday from New Jersey and they apologized and ended up giving me SkyMiles.  Talk about sweet customer service.  I know some people hate Delta, but every time they have been wrong, they have fixed it.  I am very loyal to them. And of course, it is the hub in Atlanta. :)

That's really nice of Delta to do that for you. Hopefully your Seattle flight this summer will be a much better experience!

I'm glad Delta did something to compensate you for your discomfort. That makes swallowing the bitter pill a little easier!

Congrats to Kim on the win!!

N2U CT? I need to get on it. May is going to be over before I know it.

Yeah for the win! Thanks!

We'll be staying at Hotel Alma for RNR Seattle. I hear the place is awesome, good choice.

My sister is a flight attendant for Delta. Glad they did right by you.

DELTA has always come thru for me also. All those races I had planned and was injured, they put aside for future use WITHOUT assessing a change fee!
