While I’m Away

May 3, 2011 by Julie 95 Comments

Guess who is trying to cram every veggie she can into her body before vacation?

Oooh Veggies!

And guess who is making a concerted effort to gulp down loads of water to avoid in-flight dehydration tomorrow?

GULP!

(I promise to wash my hair tomorrow. Honest.)

Along with my salad and tons o’ water, I also snagged one of these little babies from a neighboring office when nobody was looking.

Pulling the Chocolate Chip Slip

Yes, sometimes I take things.

PBF: While I’m Away

Guys, I am starting to freak out! I cannot believe I’m going to Europe tomorrow!!!

Some of you have asked me what the game plan is for the blog while I’m away. Please allow me to fill you in!

I will be traveling tomorrow through May 15 and I have a guest post from a blogger I adore scheduled to post on PBF each day while I’m gone. The guest bloggers I selected come from several different blogging niches including healthy living (duh), fashion (weee!), book bloggers (let’s get smart!) and more. I think you’re gonna love ’em.

I also scheduled a couple of posts to appear while I’m gone (hooray for the peanut butter energy bite recipe!) and hope to pop in and blog once a day if possible. Of course my number one priority is seeing and doing every single thing I can while I’m in Europe and spending quality time with my family, so blogging will be taking a back seat.

That being said, I do hope to blog while I’m there because blogging is something I love and I can’t imagine staying away for too long! Plus I want to share our adventures with you guys and document everything so I may look back on it in the future and drool over all of the gelato and croissants I will be eating. (There will be a lot of those, I assure you.)

So that’s the deal! 😀

In 2.5 short hours I’ll be on the road to my parents’ house in St. Pete and vacation will officially begin! WOO!

P.S. The Fashion page was updated this afternoon.

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    Have fun and even if you don’t get to blog while you are away, it’s fine! When I went to Costa Rica for spring break back in March, I didn’t blog for a whole week (I had auto posts from guest bloggers)! I thought I was going to go crazy, but I had so much fun on the trip, I barely thought of my blog! (Although I immediately tweeted when I got back into the country and began blogging the following day!)

    Have a great time, be safe, and NO MATTER WHAT those gypsies in Italy (and France) try to do to get your attention (even if it is throw their baby at you and I am not kidding), ignore them! That’s the best advice I can give you. Oh, and EAT UP girl! 🙂
