Excuse me while I pass out for a moment *insert 36 minute nap here*
Wooooowie, today was a doozy of a day. Do people still say that? Doozy? Spellchecker didn’t flag it, so I guess it’s a legit word, but it makes me feel all kinds of old so I’ll go with something like: “today was freakin’ hardcore, man.” Ehhh. Whatever. At least it started out well…
Plain Greek yogurt – banana – Kashi Cinnamon Harvest – homemade applesauce – roasted almond butter.
I love travelling, but I become an absolute head case the day before I leave. It’s not a fear of flying that does me in, but the seemingly neverending amount of little things that suddenly need to get done. Between packing…
… shopping (I picked up something for you guys ;))…
… and taking care of last minute errands, I end up feeling like a chicken with her head cut off… which is a disturbingly morbid expression, but nevertheless portrays my physical and mental state quite accurately.
That being the case, today’s post is going to be short, sweet, and somewhat scrambled. I should probably start packing haphazardly throwing things in my suitcase at some point, and I still need to finish writing a few posts that’ll be going up while I’m away – there’s a recipe and giveaway involved as well, so keep your eyes open for those.
Aaaaaand now it’s time to say goodbye, both to you guys and a certain someone. I probably won’t be blogging much about my trip until I get back on Monday, but I’ll be posting regularly on Twitter (@RunWithSpoons) and Instagram (@runwithspoons), so follow me there if you want to stay in touch.
See you soon!

Do you like to fly? Airports and packing aside, I actually really love it.
Ever been to Vegas? If not, would you like to go?
Are you a packing procrastinator, or a procrastinator in general?
I tend to get a little anxious at the airport with security and all, but I absolutely LOVE to fly! And I’m a total procrastinator…on everything! I just realized there are only two weeks left until Christmas and I’ve STILL got shopping to do! Eeep!
I’ve never been to Vegas, but I’d love to see it some day…I hear it’s like a whole other world! 😀
Enjoy your time in Vegas! Whether your eloping or not 😉 – I’m sure it’s going to be a blast.
Flying is great! I’m still getting excited about the whole experience from checking in to that magic moment when the airplane picks up speed on the airfield and then suddenly takes up – aaaah! Unfortunately – or not regarding the environmental impact – I don’t get to fly often at all.
I think I’ve perfected procrastination and I’m not proud. There are so many things I could and should get done but even more enticing ones to procrastinate on :D.
Have a great trip! I love to fly/travel, but I absolutely despise packing. And I always, always, always forget my cell phone charger. Always.
I’ve never been to Vegas but I’m heading out there in February! I can’t wait to read about your trip, it’s gonna make me even more excited!
Have fun in Vegas! I love love love to travel–I’m one of those weirdos who thinks the airports and plane rides are fun–but I don’t get to do it nearly enough. Other than summer road trips around the state, I haven’t actually traveled since spring break 4 years ago, yikes! That needs to change soon.
I am excited for my drive back home tomorrow though, not the drive itself because that can be three hours of stress and too much traffic, but it means that I don’t have to think about school for the next 5 weeks!
Eek, so excited for you- HAVE A BLAST! XO
Yesterday’s day trip to Chicago made for a longgg day but it definitely was nice to waltz right into the airport with a handbag and no luggage! We’re headed down to Texas on Friday so that means I’ll start scrambling myself sometime soon… Probably will put it off until tomorrow night 😛
Have a great trip! I love packing, I know that’s weird but I love planning and organising. I HATE unpacking after the trip has finished though…heaps of washing. Not fun. I’ve never been to Las Vegas . Not sure if I’d want to go as it seems a bit crazy for me. Maybe a long weekend while going somewhere else as well to mellow it out.
Oh I hate packing with a passion! I love to fly though and seeing new places.
I am new to reading your blog and have really enjoyed it! 🙂 I LOVE to fly and travel, but sometimes I feel like it takes A LOT of effort to get somewhere when you JUST WANT TO BE THERE ALREADY!! I am sure you know how I feel!
Have a great trip and enjoy!! 🙂
Have fun and be safe! Can’t wait to hear alllll about your trip!
I am the worlds worst packer! I hate it but I love to travel! Have a fabulous trip!
Have a wonderful trip and a safe flight!!! Vegas is DEFINITELY somewhere I want to go. I’m thinking after I graduate college would be a great time since I’ll be 21. 😀
Definitely! It’s a great place to visit in general, but being legal makes it that much more fun 😉
Oh, I’m definitely a procrastinator. The funny thing is that when I’m procrastinating, I’ll still do legitimate tasks… just not the task I’m supposed to be doing. 🙂
HAVE A SAFE TRIP LOVE!! Im excited to hear all about it 🙂
I’m a total procrastinator… there’s no time like the last minute to get things done! 🙂
Safe travels – have fun!!!
I’m so jealous you get to escape to somewhere warm! I’ve never been to Vegas but I bet it’s a blast there. Have an awesome trip girl! 😀
I like airports, but I hate flying with a passion! The idea of crashing scares the crap out of me.
ahhh! leaving a new boy behind is always really hard. distance makes the heart grow fonder???
Ah I think the pre-travelling prep is why I love the actual process of travelling…after all that running around, it’s nice to just be able to sit for a few hours and watch mindless movies & read trashy mags! Have the BEST time in Vegas…I went a few years ago for a cousin’s wedding and it was such a blast!
Vegas Baby!! Enjoy your trip!! I LOVE flying. I even worked as a Flight Attendant to be able to fly several times a day 🙂
MONDAY?? Ah what am I going to do without your daily posts. I think I may just go crazy without your humor you bring to my every day life. I guess I must go find you on twitter now =) Have a safe flight & a great time in Vegas hunnie!
I love flying. however I’m not a big fan of flights that are longer than 4hrs.
I’m sure looking forward to following your Vegas-induced shenanigans! 😉 I’ve driven through the city far more times than I’d like to admit (long family roadtrips–yay!), however I’ve never actually spent a night there. It’s definitely on my bucket list, though!
I love flying, mainly because it provides an excuse to indulge in a trashy magazine or in-flight movie. 😉 In all seriousness though, I really enjoy the forced relaxation time. Since I rarely take time to sit down and do “nothing” during the day, those so-called boring hours spent staring at the seat in front of me are actually pretty blissful! 😀 Happy travels!
Yay! I’m excited for all the fun you will have! Have the best time ever living it up in Vegas!!!
I would LOVE to go to Vegas!! I’m a total cheap-ass, so I wouldn’t get much out of the gambling, but I really want to see a Cirque du Soleil show!!
P.S. Have fun!
P.P.S. You you MUST have a quickie Vegas wedding, at least make sure he’s rich and as good-looking as possible!
Haha! I’ve actually already seen a few people getting married, and I’ve only been here a few hours. But I don’t think Mr.Starbucks would be impressed if I came home married 😉
I LOVE Vegas!! You will have so much fun! Try not to spend too much money ;).
I am pretty excited for this recipe and giveaway to come…you’ll be entertaining me even while you’re away on vacation!
EEEEE I’m so excited for you! Vegas Baby!!! I know what you mean about that day before the trip though (or like, if my flight leaves in the afternoon, then the morning of)…it’s like OHMYGOD i need to clean and pack and clean and shit I’m forgetting things and omg what if I left the stove on….lol, yeah. Never fun. BUT once you’re on the plane it’ll all be good 😀 can’t wait to see some instagram snapshots!
Love traveling – hate packing & unpacking. It gives me a headache and i’m always frazzled no matter how many times I do it. Andd I’m a total procrastinator (in general).
Have so much fun in Vegas!!! I can’t wait to see your adventures! Or those that you’ll be sharing with us…since I know ‘what happens in vegas stays in vegas’ 😉
Vegas is definitely an experience! It will be the best people watching experience you can imagine but can border on sensory overload. I highly recommend finding a little cafe (at Paris, perhaps!) and settling in to observe the action. 😉 And the food options are never ending – Sage at Aria is amazing, and Society Cafe has an awesome brunch, among many many others. Are you seeing any shows?? If you can…see Love. My jaw did not leave the ground the entire time! Have a blast!
We’re definitely going to be catching some shows. I actually saw Love and O the last time I was here, so hopefully we’ll be able to catch a few of the other Cirque shows this time.
Have funnn!!! I’ve been to vegas….a few too many times HA but it’s a blast and I’m jealous. Try to come back not too sleep deprived miss. Actually I take that back, you have to come back from Vegas sleep deprived 😉 We will miss you lady!
Lol yeah I come here a little too often as well, but I loooooove it and just can’t seem to stay away.
Ahhh I love to fly and airports are some of my favorite places in the world! And I’ve never been to Vegas but hope to go soon! And I’m a total packing procrastinator…night before I leave is when I start…heaven help me if I don’t have something I need! I can’t wait to see and hear about your trip!! Have a blast 🙂
That suitcase really IS big enough to fit me!! Soooo there! Emergency layover in Ottawa (opposite direction? don’t care! make it happen!!!). Seriously though — I’m going to miss the bejeeeezus out of you. I love calculating the time difference to see if you’re awake yet. <3 You'd better believe I'll be following you like a stalker. (and that was stated as a similie, not an exaggeration 😉 )
enjoy your trip. NO blogging. Just wild fun! okay i’m all talk. haha. And i love flying!
I tried to say no to blogging, but it didn’t listen 🙁
I always seem to procrastinate as a packer now too! But that never used to be the case when I was younger… Have a safe and fun trip!
I hate flying too!! I also hate packing because I procrastinate. Seriously?? are we the same person?? I have never been to Vegas, but I can’t wait to hear all about it from you!!
Have a wonderful amazing trip. I had no idea you were going somewhere. I have the weirdest lingo so use doozy a lot but can’t tell if that is normal. let’s just say it is. I hate packing, like really hate it. I always forget something or don’t have room. Can’t wait for you to be back, sure will miss you around here! Hope your card came!
Have fun! I can’t wait to hear all your Vegas recommendations. Of course, that’s going to make me all the more excited for my own trip in the spring. 🙂
I pack the morning of, even if I’m leaving at 6 AM or something. Haha.
I LOVE Vegas and even got married there:-)! As for packing I am a procrastinator…. mostly because there is so much I use that cannot be packed until last minute.
Vegas is definitely on my bucket list. Have a fantastic trip love! <3
So excited for you!! I love to travel!! I’ve never been to Vegas but hear great things about it. I must admit I’m more of a tropical traveler – I simply love the ocean and warm weather and hoping to visit Hawaii and Europe – specifically Italy and the Greek isles some day.
I’m usually not a procrastinator in general however whe. It comes to packing I always wait u til the last possible second- I guess I just pack better under pressure!
Hope you have an amazing trip – can’t wait to hear all about it!
I hope you thoroughly enjoy your trip! It sounds like a ton of fun. I’m a packing procrastinator for SURE. It’s terrible. I need to get better but for whatever reason, I always leave it until the last minute. Oh well.
Oh, wow! It’s like a mystery…except are you going to Las Vegas? Are you going away for work or for fun?
I like to make packing lists and lay things out for trips way in advance, to make sure I don’t forget anything (which is always silly, because I can buy most anything wherever I go). It’s just the worrier – and planner – in me.
Going to Vegas, yup! And it’s supposed to be work related, but everyone knows it’s going to end up being 20% work and 80% fun 😉
