5000 Miles to Crazy Town
I’ve been in a blogging funk. It seems that writing 31 days to a Better Body Series took it out of me.
Oh and I’m moving into an rv for a year or more in a few weeks. Downsizing four people into a little 300 square foot home is a guaranteed recipe for crazy a bit. of. a. challenge. I have a to-do-list longer than the miles we’ll drive next year. It’s making me almost as crazy as some of the people I’ve emailed with on Craigslist. Really, Krishna, I don’t want to make $600 dollars a month sitting in front of the TV posting links. Btw, Krishna, that’s called spamming and STOP IT.
I’m losing so many brain cells from the paint so busy I keep forgetting things like my kombucha.
Check out that scoby. Getting it out of the jar was like giving birth. It’s about 6 times as thick as my thickest scoby and the kombucha is so acidic it would probably eat a hole in my esophagus. Kidding. (BTW, I won’t be drinking this batch.)
If I’m neglecting my kombucha like this just think what my kids (and the laundry) are going through. Kidding again. About the kids not the laundry.
Seeing that I don’t have time to properly nurture my beloved kombucha or my children, blogging has taken a back seat. The rest of this month I’m simply going to post about my life and mostly about the things I did in August because all I’m doing now is painting and selling things on Craigslist. And deleting spammy emails from Krishna.
However, I did some cool stuff in August like go to Blogher, get my black belt, and attend the Perform Better Functional Fitness Summit.
I also have some big decisions to make like what kitchen utensils are going to make the cut? How many kettlebells to bring? Or is the scale coming along on the road trip? Like I said, big decisions.
Then when we hit the road I’ll post the workouts I’m doing to keep fit while traveling and get back to creating recipes in my minimalist kitchen.
Until then you can be jealous of my kombucha scoby. She’s a beast.
Love you guys!!!
Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

I can imagine that things are little “crazy” right now in your world. I can’t even imagine where I would start to plan a year on the road… But I also hope you are enjoying every second of it. Okay, well maybe not every second. But I think this is such an exciting time, and I just hope you are taking it all in (and find time to document it, so you can look back at it years from now…).
And I’d love to read about your August adventures whenever you are ready to post them. So what if that’s in December!?!!!
And I meant to email you regarding food on the road. I imagine it’ll be a challenge at times, but you probably can also find a lot of info online and/or through Internet friends. How much food are you going to bring? Can you bring any preserved veggies? Not that you have time to start canning right now… Anyway.
Thanks Andrea! You’re right in every way. I do need to make sure I document these crazy times.
We don’t have a lot of room for food. We have a small fridge and freezer (about 1/3 of our normal fridge/freezer), a decent sized pantry, and some “underbelly” storage. I thought about canning but as it turns out I won’t have the time. Never mind I don’t know how to do it. If you have any ideas let me know. You are great at that planning stuff!
you are 5000 miles from my house, so that sounds about right!
hang in there girl and make sure to take time out for YOU!
PS: I have no idea what that thing is? apparently the crazy (like me) live under a rock?
Ha ha!!! You are so funny! I can’t wait to see you. (For the record, I’ll be saying that for the next 6 months!)
Girl! Much grace to you about not blogging. I can’t imagine how crazy busy I would be in your shoes. I hope this is a wonderful year for you all.
PS. That thing in your hands is nasty. ;0)
He he he!! I was going to offer you a scoby! 😉 xoxoxoxo
Yikes that thing is a monster. I’m a little terrified of your scoby. Give me crazy town over esophagus-eating bacteria any day…
Of course, I’m a huge Kombucha lover. But that guy is scary.
Ha ha!!! It’s totally SCARY!!! I actually didn’t drink that kombucha. WAAAAAAAY to acidic. Eeeeek!!!!
Thinking of you, can’t imagine how much you must have going on!
Thanks Tamara!!! xoxo
I’ll be right next tow you in crazy town. But you can keep the scoby and the kombucha. That shit will kill you. Can I say shit in your comments?
I can think of worse things to type! 😉 You don’t like kombucha??? I’m surprised!
You have so much on your plate right now, I’m amazed you are blogging at all – you go super mom! And I can’t wait to hear all about blogher!!
I don’t know about super mom seeing I had a break down in the bathroom last night over lint on the freshly painted cabinets. :-/
You poor thing! Take a break for goodness (and sanity’s) sake! We’ll be here when you get back
Thanks Debs. I <3 you!!!!
I wish it was called something other than “scoby”. All I can think of is “scaby” when I read and look at it.
