Hello from Boston!
Travel went smoothly for me yesterday (thank goodness) and I arrived in Boston in the late afternoon. Ever since I touched down, it’s been go-go-go here, but that’s a good thing because I’m having a blast! I’ll be sure to fill you guys in on the fun as soon as I have a moment to sit down with my laptop after Saturday’s races.
In the meantime, let’s chat about things we’re loving this week, shall we?
Things I’m Loving Friday
- This Picture
If you replace the cat with Sadie, this happens in our house every single day.
Since I don’t have the ability to pop into a Garrett’s in Chicago and get fresh, warm Chicago mix popcorn, this will have to do! And it’s a pretty fabulous substitute. If you’re a fan of the sweet and salty flavor combination, grab a bag and go to town. But be warned: It’s addicting!
- Airport Coffee Shops with Almond Milk
High five to the little coffee stand in the Washington, DC airport! Almond milk cappuccinos and lattes are my coffee shop drink of choice and since it’s still relatively hard to find, I’m always super pumped when almond milk pops up in unexpected places. (C’mon and embrace almond milk already, Starbucks.) I never thought I’d find almond milk lattes in an airport, but DC proved me wrong during my layover yesterday. Woop!
- November Project Workout
This morning I had the chance to experience my first November Project workout in Boston and it was AMAZING. The camaraderie and enthusiasm blew me away and I didn’t even realize how much I was sweating until the workout was over. The November Project is a *free* fitness movement that was born in Boston as a way to encourage others to stay in shape during the cold New England months. It’s taken off in a bunch of cities and all you need to do to participate is show up. Hundreds of people came for today’s 6:30 a.m. workout and everyone was so friendly! I loved it!
And this is what happens when someone wants to take a post-workout picture and says “serious faces only.”
I will break out in giggles. Such a liability.
- Photo Clean Up
Traveling always gives me a little time to go through my computer and iPhone and delete hundreds of pictures. I had fun flipping through various albums and stumbling upon some older photos that never made the blog during my flight to Boston yesterday. Here are a few outtakes surrounding my sister’s wedding that didn’t make the cut:

Question of the Day
- What is one thing you’ve been loving this week?

I really wish Starbucks would get with it and offer almond milk too! I have been asking for ages! They haven’t even done a test market here in Seattle…
Good luck this weekend!
Bold Bean just opened in Jacksonville Beach! They have yummy almond milk lattes and their coffee is amazing. It is by Roy’s. I have only been to the first location in the Riverside area of Jacksonville but I am sure the beaches one is awesome too.
Honestly, I am loving that the week is over. It was a rough week at work. However, the sunny weather will help!! 😀
The pic of the cat SERIOUSLY cracked me up! That is so my dog when I’m trying to get ready. 🙂
Podcasts! I have been spending a lot of time in the car lately so podcasts have become my new best friend.
I do the same thing with photos at airports! Your forgotten photo finds are much nicer than mine usually are, though 🙂 And that November Project workout sounds awesome!
That picture of you and your sister before her wedding is absolutely lovely. I love both dresses!
My cat is 100% the cat in that first picture. If I have a bath she’s desperate to come and sit on the side of it – fascinated by the water!
So Fun! Random question: who makes Leslie’s runner up gown, if you remember? A friend was looking for something so so similar… Thanks!
