The flying season is finally slowing down! I was joking with my flight friends that I miss sitting around and that we’re flying too much! 🙂 Last year, June, July, and August were the busy season, then it slowed down significantly starting September. I flew around 65 – 80 hours each month, then slowed down to about 40 hours. Each day is approximately 5 hours, so a 4-day trip is typically 20 hours. This year, I flew around 65 hours for September and October. Wow!
When I came home for my off days, my husband surprised me with an early birthday present – an iPhone 6 Plus!!! Last year, he got me a MacBook Air which is GREAT for travel. He has an iPhone, Mac desktop, and iPad mini. I’m finally going nearly all Apple – with the exception of my tablet. Maybe that will turn into an iPad mini someday, but I’m very happy with what I already have, of course! Then, there’s the learning curve… 🙂
Speaking of apple…. I decided to play “cleaning out the fridge,” so I made a “green smoothie.” I had a bag of spinach and needed more roughage in my diet, so I added some fruits & vegetables. Now, “green” doesn’t have to be “gross,” and I’m surprised at how energetic this smoothie made me feel! Here’s what I threw in my trusty Vitamix:
Ingredients:
1 cup ice
2 cups spinach
1 apple (cut)
1 avocado (peeled & pitted)
1 orange (peeled)
2 bananas
1 mango (sliced)
1 cup seedless grapes
2 Tbsp sugar in the raw
I put everything in my Vitamix, turned it up to 5 while mashing it down, then turned it up to 10 for about 10 seconds. Turn onto high for about another 15 seconds. It’s surprisingly sweet and refreshing! Enjoy!
