Moving with Plan B
Hiiiiii 🙂 How are you?? Thank you for all of the lovely compliments on the new ‘do. It’s fun to change things up every now and again.
I’m late bloggin’ this morning – it’s moving day!
and just because it’s my life, a little change of plans….
I went in to move into my townhouse today and they had rented it to someone else! Even though I’d paid my deposit and signed the paperwork, someone working there made a mistake and double-booked it. Nice, right?
The good news is that two of my friends that I’ve known since high school told me last night that they were looking for a roommate for their house, and BOOM. Everything works out for a reason, eh? Now I have two amazing roomies who love the puppers, vegan cooking and Broadway musicals. Life es bueno.
They even love this cheesesteak-eating people-food-hungry beggar….
For the record, eggless nog tastes RIDICULOUS on top of protein oats.
I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free oats, 1 scoop of Sun Warrior (promo info at the end of this post!), almond milk, a blob of almond butter and a hefty drizzle of eggless nog. I die.
Another glorious combo that many of you have been trying:
Balsamic and hummus.
For those of you who haven’t given it a whirl yet, let me put this in your brain:
This
+ this
=
THIS
(Foodgasm face)
I’m off to meet friends for lunch and then time to get crackalackin’ on moving my stuff!
xoxo

HAHAHA. Oh my gosh, I just busted out laughing at my desk when I saw that picture of Oprah. So funny. Glad the moving situation worked out! I would’ve flipped out, but you seem so calm! So impressive.
AH! Gotta get on that Sun Warrior promo… I’m glad things worked out with your old friends- you’re right: everything DOES happen for a reason. That pic of Oprah is priceless! hahaha Have a great day!
hahahaha i just snorted when i saw that oprah picture! SO glad to see the pics working 🙂
Nice Oprah photo, lollllll! Everything DEFINITELY happens for a reason, and I am glad your living situation has worked itself out yet again!
Ahh, balsamic + hummus? Why haven’t I tried that combo, sounds right up my alley!!! 🙂
I’m glad the whole moving thing worked out for you! Living with lovely friends will probably be more fun anyway. 😉
I’m so excited for you and glad it worked out to live with your friends! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful time together! 🙂
bahahaha omg best face ever. what on EARTH did you google to find that?? i hope everything works out with your friends. i know roommate situations can be a little iffy, too, so im hoping everything turns out!
crazy that they double rented the place but yay for it all working out and now you will be with friends!!!
Yay for the sunwarrior promo!!!
Wow that VERY Same thing happened to me with an apartment I tried to rent years ago. I had my moving truck there and was in the leasing office “just picking up keys”. Papers signed, deposit check cashed, the whole bit…and they had rented my apt to someone else who moved in the day before. In the end, I ended up getting an apt, it was probably nicer than the one I was supposed to get but talk about stressful moments! Glad your situation worked out for the best!!!
YAY for friends and serendipity! 🙂
Sun Warrior is protein powder right? How long does it last usually? & what do you use it in most? Lotsa questions, i know!
I’m happy that
1) you found that Oprah face.. its ridiculous!
2) you have wonderful roomates, everything DOES happen for a reason
LOL at Oprah’s face. I eat a lot of salads with balsamic and hummus, and I have to agree that it’s a great combo.
Good luck with your move!
Hey Gina!! Love your blog, I look forward to it everyday!! Just wondering which flavor you prefer, chocolate or vanilla Sun Warrior??
I hope you can get your deposit money back!It seems like cheeseteak didn’t make Bella sick 🙂
ohhhh i am sooooo on that sun warrior!! i gave my email and am following you, is that all we have to do?? also, oprahs face made me laugh out loud hahahaa hysterical and perfect foodgasm face
I had a similar situation once with losing an apartment. Your ability to bounce back and remain so positive is very inspiring.
You will have a blast with your friends.
That Oprah face is hilarious!!!
I’m glad your housing situation seems to be working out — someone else getting that townhome is a sign that it was not meant to be.
Hahaha I actually laughed out loud when I saw Oprah’s face!
I am so glad things are working out with the housing situation. Sometimes you just have to tell your type A personality to hush and try to become flexible–sometimes things work out even better that way.
What a great deal on the Sunwarrior PP! So excited, my bag is almost empty.
goodness you are really being tested!!
I love your new do’ and I’m glad you have somewhere to live! 🙂 thats always nice huh! ?
Wow – love when a bad deal turns out to be way better! It will be nice for you to have supportive friends with you…
Can’t wait to check out the promos!
Aww yayy!! I’m so glad things just kind of fell into place for you- even though the townhouse thing is a bummer, at least it was an easy fix for you!!
Signing up NOW. Need some more Sun Warrior in my life!
that is the funniest face everrrrrr hehehehehe
Wow how amazing how things work out! I am relieved you are not homeless. 🙂 Good timing on the SW promo – i was staring at the bottom of my tub this morning. NO BUENO! Or rather, in Oprah voice, no bu-ENOOOOOOOOO!!! 🙂
I burst into laugher when I seen that picture! The scrolling was perfect! I cannot believe they double booked your apt!!!! I’m glad you found a place with friends. Sounds fun!
HAHAHAhahahahaha Oprah!!!!
reminds me of this scrubs episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUz3Cfbg3Sk “who wants to eat some cereeeeaaaallll?”
That’s crazy about the townhouse fiasco! So glad it’s worked out for you though! I’m sure it’ll be more fun to live with girlfriends (who have similiar interests) than by yourself anyway 🙂
The Oprah picture is hilarious– is that similar to what your foodgasm face looks like too? ;-P haha
hi gina ,
I am not sure if I signed up properly for the sun warrior promo. I am now following you on open sky , but it will not allow me to see any items to purchase ? Am I doing something wrong ?
nope you did it right! you’ll get an email in the morning about the sun warrior promo and how to get it!
Im glad it all worked out! You had me worrying for a second in the beginning of the post. Whats meant to be will be!
everything does happen for a reason, at least things were sorted out nice and quick! thats so ridiculous that they had that mix up, gees.
that picture of Oprah is hilarious! ha
have a good rest of the day settling in
oh my gosh, it’s just one thing after another! i’m so glad this one worked out well for you though 🙂
That Oprah foodgasm face is priceless.
So glad things worked out with the moving. You didn’t need another issue to deal with on top of everything thats already come your way.
Another great hummus combo is adding some chopped rosemary and drizzle of EVOO on top. Insane!!!
Yikes, isn’t it funny how things always work out. 😉
Love, love, love the Oprah face and that everything seems to be working well for you lady:)
That Oprah pic…LOL. Thank you! 🙂
Signed up to follow but something is not right… Not seeing anything.
Shugs, that sucks about the townhouse. Glad it all worked out for you.
I would be SO MAD if that happened to me about your living arrangements! As if they did that! But at least you’ll live with friends; do you get to keep Viesa now?
Pictures, please! Not everyone can be afraid to be seen on the blog. Let’s see the house and the two amazing friends that saved you.
Quick question: which kind of Sun Warrior would you recommend for somebody who is new to using protein? Vanilla, chocolate or the natural flavour? Thanks so much!!!
I don’t know how you manage all these last minute curveballs with such grace, but I admire you!
Aw, Gina, you’re so cute, I love it 🙂
Can’t wait to finally try some Sun Warrior– and boy is it’s lovely price steep. I am DONE with you Nutribiotic!
Oh man that stinks about your condo but im sure you will be happier having friends to live with! The fact that they love broadway is a plus too:):)
I am so dominating the sunwarrior tomorrow!!! that is a ridiculously amazing:):):)
Oh and thanks for the Oprah face, pretty sure ill be having some nightmares tonight hahah
Love the spiked oats – brilliant! 😉
Good luck with your moving sit… sounds like it is all working out for the best!!

Opraaaaaahuhhh face made me LOL! Thanks for the chuckle. So happy the housing situation is worked out. You have a great attitude about it all!
I hope you get your deposit back! But living with friends will be fun. I’m glad things are going well-you sound happy.
OOOOH MAN. I’m all about laughter and loving and everything, but I would be so… pissy. lol. Initially I would be, but what else can you do but laugh it off? Lucky you had friends!
*Luckily you had friends looking for a roommate.
