Last night I had plans to meet up with my friends Minda and Brett for dinner.
Minda and I were suitemates for several years in college and she is immersed in wedding planning at the moment. (You might remember when we met up and went bridesmaid dress shopping in December!) I met Brett through Minda in college (they’ve been friends since childhood) and it was great to see her again, too!
We met up a little after 6 p.m. at Mai Thai in Jacksonville. Earlier that day, I had a pretty fabulous speech-to-text fail surrounding these plans…
So, so great.
When I arrived, I found Brett and Minda sipping on some hot green tea which sounded perfect. It was a little chilly and raining rather hard when I arrived and drinking tea in a cozy restaurant with friends was the perfect way to spend a dreary Wednesday night.
For dinner I ordered the Gang Keow Whan (green curry in coconut milk with mixed vegetables and jasmine rice).
It was fantastic. The coconut milk made it extra creamy and the different spices they used in the curry were phenomenal. I need to find an awesome Thai place in Ocala!
We ended up hanging out for more than two hours and I loved every minute of it.
Breakfast
This morning I was up in the four o’clock hour. My dad had an early flight out of the Jacksonville airport and I said I’d drop him off which meant that we were awake at 4:20 a.m. Yikes!
I’m hoping that my early wake up time will make it easier for me to fall asleep on my evening flight to London and help me adjustment to the time change a little easier. 4:20 a.m. in Jacksonville is 8:20 a.m. in London, after all!
Once I got back from dropping my dad off at the airport, I hopped back into bed with my laptop (and Sadie) and worked until my morning appetite started talking to me.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
For breakfast, I made myself a yogurt bowl with vanilla Greek yogurt, dried fruit, Cheerios and a spoonful of almond butter.
I also ate a couple of handfuls of trail mix as I was assembling my yogurt bowl.
Time to get things rollin’!

Sadie is totally giving you the “mom, can I go back to bed PUH-LEASE?!” look… 😉
Haha too funny about that text! Glad you had a great dinner – I love Thai food! I woke up this morning in the 4 o’clock hour as well, but not by choice. My eyes popped open and I couldn’t fall back to sleep after that. Hopefully a little nap during lunch or after work will help power me through!
I saw that brand of yogurt in Greek yogurt form here in Colorado but didn’t end up getting it, do you like it? And Sadie is adorable, as always 🙂
it was good, but i wouldn’t regularly buy it b/c it has almost 30 grams of sugar.
HA! That’s a good one. Gotta love that auto-correct! Your dinner looks simply wonderful. Decently healthy, plus sounds AMAZING. Sadie is literally the most adorable dog ever (next to my Bentley, of course 😉 OOooooo have fun in London/Ireland! I can’t wait to read the recaps!
Sadie looks so cute under the covers!
Your yoghurt bowl looks delicious. I had a yoghurt bowl for dinner as I love them so much 🙂
Hahaha your text! I think those are the funniest things to read. Speech to text only has worked perfectly for me a couple of times. Other than, I end up having to text anyway or delete words.
Haha!! That speech-to-text mix-up totally cracks me up!! You have to love when things like that happen!! 😉
Awww, what a sweet Sadie pup. She looks like she wants to say, “why are we awake THIS early??”
I think a one hour time change messes me up more than 4-6 hours. Weird I know!!
Wow that dinner looks fantastic! Thai food never sounds good to me, but whenever I get it, I’m like “THIS IS AMAZING!”
http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com you’ve probably seen this before, but your text looks like it could belong! Hahah 🙂
What kind of trail mix is that? Looks good!
That Thai food looks insanely good Julie! And very funny on the auto correct!
You’re text to speech just made my morning! I’ve never subbed yogurt for milk with cereal and I think I should really get around to doing that stat. I usually avoid cereal because it’s not filling for me, but I bet with the Greek yogurt it would be.
That text cracks me up! Dinner looked fabulous! I can’t wait to hear about your adventures in London! My husband and I are planning on going to London and Paris at the end of the year!
I love Thai food, especially coconut milk curry! Best advice when you get to London is to not take a nap during the day. I always find that staying up all day and then going to bed at an early hour is the easiest way to adjust to the time change.
I’ve never had Thai food before. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try! 🙂
Well your waking up time is about 12 hours off but goes well with your speech-to-text fail!
When I flew to London, I also flew overnight. I had trouble sleeping on the plane and landed around 9:30 AM. What helped me adjust was to basically just stay up all day until a normal bed time. After that, I was perfectly adjusted. It was even easier coming home.
Hahahaha love the text, too funny!
There is a great thai place in palm beach gardens if you are ever down that way called Talay Thai – It’s one of my favorites!
Haha your text is too funny! You need to send it in to Ellen for her “clumsy thumsy” segments!
I had a similar autocorrect accident this weekend. I was on my way to a friend’s dad’s surprise 50th birthday and let this one slip. And I quote “Hey I made a stop on the way, I am eating out your dad so you don’t waste the good surprise on me!” It was supposed to say waiting out your dad…d’oh! Needless to say my friend was dying when I got there and I hadn’t even noticed.
I love Thai food! Peanut butter and yogurt, though, is just too much for me. I love them both separately but together the textures are too much! I have no idea why I am sharing this with you but just Jun case anyone was wondering, there it is.
That Liberte yogurt is SO GOOD. That’s why it’s 260 calories for the little container, ha. I eat it for dessert sometimes.
I saw your auto correct #fail on instagram yesterday. Too funny. Those websites with all the autocorrects make me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt!
hahaha you gotta love autocorrect or speech to text mishaps!! How did you like the liberte yogurt!? I am seeing them everywhere but have yet to try them!
it was delicious! but probably more of a dessert than a nutritional yogurt, to be honest. 🙂
Love Thai food, my go to when eating out.
Awesome text-fail! So funny! Sleepy Sadie is sofreakincute! I just love her 🙂
Omg if I would have gotten your text I would have been rolling on the floor laughing lolllll. Have an amazing trip to London and be safe!
I’ve never had Thai food but it looks really good!
Yum. I love Thai food. But your cereal/yogurt/dried fruit mix sounds delicious. I’m going to steal your idea and have it for breakfast!
I have voice texting fails all the time! Also green curry is my fave. I want Thai food now 😀
yum! i have not found a good thai restaurant in st louis – very disappointing!
When I went to Scotland two years ago, I spent the week before adjusting my bed/wake up times to try to outsmart jet lag — the night before we left I went to bed at 7 p.m. and got up at 3 a.m.! I was sure this would guarantee that I’d sleep like a baby on the plane and be ready and rarin’ to go when we arrived in Scotland. I was wrong haha. Ohhh well! At least I got a run in before I spent all day on the plane? 😛
There’s a great Thai place just a few miles from my work. I’m there so often I don’t even have to order. 🙂
I saw that picture on your instagram yesterday and I could NOT stop laughing about it. I’ve had so many text fails!
After coming home from a journey in south east Asia I am obsessed with Thai food the cream of coconut milk is heavenly 🙂 Sadie is so cute, I die! Have a great day love + shine Courtstar
That text is awesome, I’ve had some pretty interesting texts myself with auto-correct.
Love the autocorrect!!
I had to wake up in the 4 oclock hour on tues. and I was more tired wednesday then I was the acutal day I woke up early! ADD jet lag and you may be suuuuuuper tired..
Ive never had thai!
Its pretty dreary here today too.. it even snowed… boo.. hoping for spring sooner then later!
Have so much fun on your trip! xoxo
Auto correct is too funny!
And Sadie is giving you the same look that I get from Lily every morning.. Vizslas are too funny!
I have drove past that place to and from my work and I always wondered how the food was. Now I want to try it!
Hahaha I hate the speech-to-text messaging. It’s so convenient but I swear it only knows about 100 words. The presentation of the food is amazing! It’s so pretty!
Sounds like a good plan to adjust to London time…and if that doesn’t work, there’s always coffee! I swear I live off coffee when I’m dealing with jetlag!
Thai food is the best! I need a text to speech app – which one do you use?
I swear smart phones have minds of their own lol. I love trail mix, if I don’t watch out though I could eat a whole bag!
I can’t believe you’re going to London tonight!!! How are you ever going to make it through the day? I’m such a baby on the day of a big exciting vacation. Is it time yet? Is it time yet??
Hi there…I randomly came across your blog and I really enjoy reading it! I’ve done a few of your workouts and really want to try some recipes- they look yummy! Have a fun trip to London and Ireland- Ireland is truly one of the most beautiful, friendly, amazing places I have ever been. Can’t wait to read about your travels!
Glad you enjoyed getting high, I mean Thai!! 😉 I’ve only had thai food a few times but it always looks so fresh and delicious they way they plate the food.
Green curry is my favorite dish to order for Thai. It’s hard to stop eating when I’m full it’s so good and flavorful!
Have a great trip!
I LOVE green curry! Now I want to get “high” as well! lol That cracked me up!
