1. I don’t know what day it is today. We are finally home after over 45 hours of transport. Maybe 48 hours. I don’t know. All I know is I woke up at 6 am on Tuesday to catch our first flight in Uruguay and it’s currently Thursday in Uruguay. You do the math. I’m obviously in no condition to add. 2. One of our layovers was 12 hours long. Yikes. 3. I just got back from a run. Yes. Given the previous two points, some may call me crazy. Some may be right. … Read more >

I raved about Earthbound Farm’s organic powermeal salads before, and now I’m gonna give you the opportunity to win a free one to try for yourself!
