In A Tizzy

By Courtney 34 Comments

As I was buzzing around this morning throwing myself into a tizzy, I realized that there’s actually a couple things that I have been meaning to mention to you guys but just haven’t gotten around to it.

First up…why am I in a tizzy and why did I mention this morning that I was packing?

Well, that’s because I’m headed to FitBloggin’11!

My flight for Baltimore departs at 6am tomorrow morning (the super early flights always seem like such a great idea at the time…), which Jay is mighty excited to get up and drop me off at the airport for. What a guy. Winking smile

This will be my first time attending FitBloggin’, but since I love networking and meeting new people like I did at last year’s HLS, then I’m sure it’s bound to be a blast.

I also must include, and I’m not ashamed to say, that my wonderful mom & dad helped sponsor part of my traveling expenses for this weekend’s trip. Don’t worry, we all made out pretty well in the deal.

Now since I’m almost done packing (finally…) I’ll just have to remind myself to relax, have fun, and not worry about doing everything and meeting everyone…but on the other hand, I really do want to meet as many peeps as possible, so if ya see me…come say hi!

IMG_2274

I promise, I’m fun. Smile with tongue out

*******

The other thing I forgot to mention to you guys…I recently added a “Blog Love” tab along the top of the page! As the page says, it’s still a total work in progress, so if there’s something super important I left out, make sure ya let me know, mmmk?

********

Lunch

Mid-morning, I whipped up a batch of my favorite traveling snack: trail mix. I ended up having quite a few handfuls of the stuff.

IMG_3339

My mix includes almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, raisins, banana chips, dried cranberries, yogurt covered raisins, and some granola. It’s kind of amazing.

If it wasn’t for the fact that lunch was right around the corner, I quite possibly would have finished off half the mix. Yikes.

IMG_3343

For lunch, I put together a sandwich using an Everything Thomas’ Bagel Thin, a couple slices of deli chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and cranberry honey mustard.

IMG_3348

My favorite part of the sandwich? Definitely the bread and butter pickles. So so good!

IMG_3346

On the side, I had some baby carrots and had originally planned on the apple, too, but I decided to save it for a little bit later.

IMG_3345

Which will probably go right along with the iced coffee I have waiting for me in the fridge. Addicted? Yes, maybe.

Question for the Afternoon:

Have you ever attended a big conference/networking event? What are your favorite and least favorite parts?

    I attended the American Dietetic Association conference when I was still a student (the discounted rates were incredible!). My favorite parts were the product expo (trying a ton of new things) and the fact that it was in Chicago - such a neat city and it was my first time visiting! I wasn't a good networker as a student but would definitely take more advantage of that opportunity now.

      Cranberry honey mustard IS amazing! If you ever find it, you MUST try it. I get mine at Price Chopper, Central Market Brand. It's sooooo good :)

    I haven't personally been to an entire convention, but I've visited my mom at some of the ones her job sponsors. My favorite part is always the big room where they have all of the displays up! My least favorite would be trying to find my way around, haha! And thank you for reminding me to add pickles to my shopping list! YUM! :)

    Oh, that trail mix looks DIVINE! There is a grocery store near me that has an amazing bulk foods section with lots of varieties of trail mix. The one with dried pineapple chunks and peanut butter chips is my favorite. Portion control is VERY important for me ;) I'm really hoping to attend a big conference/blogger summit one day! Seems like a great opportunity to get to know people IRL and also hear about all of the great things people are doing. Bloggers are so knowledgeable...and generous! Have fun :)

    Ughhh all the time. For work :-) They are not nearly as fun as blogger events. That is for sure. My favorite part of any conference is (shockingly) the free food. And I'm sure it will be mmmm mmmm good at FitBloggin

    I have yet to attend a conference, but I am really wanting to! Maybe HLS this coming year?! Are you going to be attending that one, too? I can't wait to hear how Fitbloggin' goes... so many people are going! PS, love your "BlogLove" page... i might make one, too... instead of a blogroll on the side of my blog... hm!

    Have fun! Seems like a really neat conference to attend - and I love Baltimore! Make sure you make it to the Inner Harbor, especially if the weather is nice. I still haven't been to a blogger conference... considering HLS this summer, or one of the food-dedicate ones next year...
