Four hours.
We were delayed at the Philadelphia airport for four hours. Boooo….
Luckily being stuck isn’t so bad when you have friends (shout out to the equally delayed Katy, Kristin, and Mindy!), crab fries, and beer.
Dinner of champions, right?
We didn’t touchdown back in Tampa until close to midnight. By that point all I wanted to do was sleep. I purposely left my alarm clock unset and crashed and burned. Hard.
This morning I awoke naturally around 8:00 and made a bowl of comforting hot apples for breakfast.
The apple was stolen from yesterday’s breakfast buffet (thank goodness too, because we had no fruit in the house!). I chopped it and warmed it in the microwave with some Uncle Sam’s Strawberry Cereal and cinnamon.
I finished the bowl off with plain yogurt and a harshly chopped Attune chocolate bar.
Comfort food. 
I plan to swim on my lunch break, but we’ll see how that goes. 
First I need to tackle the swag-tastic suit case staring at me from the middle of the room. Yikes.
Oh, and if you’re catching up from the weekend – and the craziness that was Healthy Living Summit 2011( Woop. Woop.) – here’s what you missed!

I LOVE crab fries! They are my absolute favorite thing about being from Philly!
So glad that you tried them and got home safe! Good luck unpacking!
Getting stuck at the airport – is NOT fun – but it looks like you made the best of it! Sounds like the HLS was a lot of fun! Happy Monday! xoxo from Trinidad

Looks like the summit was a huge success, Meghann. Great job!
Congrats on the HLS! It looks like it was so much fun. I wish I could have gone, but there’s always next year

That breakfast sounds way better than my post vacay breakfast of half of a bagel with butter.

I hate being delayed at the airport. I usually bring a book or two to keep myself occupied if that happens.

Crab fries are amazing, I am hooked on old bay seasoning since having them for the first time. Was your flight delayed due to rain? I had the pleasure of driving from Western NY back to the Philly/NJ area in the middle of a giant downpour. For 6.5 hours.

How long do you microwave that apple?

Crabfries?! I feel like that’s something Maryland should have, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t!

I had a LONG drive home, plus hit major traffic heading out of Philly, so I didn’t make it home until almost 2!!!! And I woke up before 8, so I am exhausted….I can only imagine how you feel!
Hilary recently posted..HLS: Just the Food
You got to try crab fries!!! Yay! These are a Philly staple.

Flight delays can be the worst!! At least you had friends with you and were able to sleep in the next morning.
