Nothing like a little complication...

Life stumbles along at a normal pace and, just when you think you have everything figured out, WHAM! Something happens to send you reeling. That happened to me last Friday night. I was given a little nugget of information that I'm not sure what to do with. I wish I could talk more about it but I don't really want to give it breath because I feel like acknowledging that it really happened would just open a big, fat, giant can of worms. So I'm choosing to not acknowledge it....it doesn't change anything and wouldn't change anything. But I will admit that it blindsided me and it keeps rattling around in my mind....throwing me a little off-balance.

Other than that, things are good. The boy and I are preparing for a short jaunt to South Lake Tahoe with the dog next week for part of my vacation. I've never been to South Tahoe so I'm really excited! There's a castle there I want to explore and I want to spend time on the beaches just relaxing. I very much need to get away from it all....even if it is only for three days. I mean....who doesn't want to spend three days looking at this?!?!?!?!

Plus it's our first getaway as a couple so it can't get much better than that!

The only thing I'm a little worried about is the food situation. There are so many great restaurants in the area where we'll be staying and I want to try them but I don't want to gain any weight while I'm out of town. I'm pretty adament about that. So we're planning on taking as much of our own food as possible (fruit, protein bars, drinks, snacks, etc) and limiting our dining out...that way I can control what goes in my mouth and still enjoy being away from everything. I'm looking for healthy snack recipes that I can make quickly so we have good stuff on hand. I'm also trying to remember everything we need to take for us and for Luna (the dog) so we don't have to buy anything. Yes, I'm super anal-retentive and I'm very much a planner. Hmmm....these look good. How about these?

Okay, now that I've made myself hungry....I'm going to find something to eat! Have a great day, everyone!
