New Baby - Soon!
My sister Jenn should have her baby any moment now I hope. She started having contractions and the doctor said she should could deliver any day now, so at the last minute I took a flight out to Chicago to be with her. I'm so excited.
My husband is a fireman and a part of the urban search and rescue team, so he is on call to go to Texas because of the hurricane.
I had just received my box of fresh organic fruits and vegetables on Thur. and I did not want them to go to waste with us both being gone, so I can't believe I took them with me. I just packed up my tote full of my veggies and carried it on the plane with me.

I wish I could show you my tricks to eat healthy while traveling, but I'm having some problems downloading those pictures. If I get them up, I will share that with you.

My family picked up burgers and Chicago beef sandwiches to have at home, so I just made my own dinner at home. My sister is the best she always takes care of me. She drove me to Trader Joes the first day I got here to make sure I had whatever food I needed. So, even though I'm not home, it is still easy to eat healthy. The veggie burger is the one I like from TJ "Dr. P- something" I will have to take a picture to show you, but she found them at Costco in a large box.
