the problem with traveling is that when you leave you don't leave a whole lot of food in the house and the food you did leave was left for the dog sitter to eat so there's no food when you get back.
And your car is covered in snow and ice and you're too damned tired to go scrape it and besides, you have to do laundry.
so you end up ordering pizza and your boyfriend grumbles at you from 1300 miles away because he wishes you would eat healthier...but you're so damned tired and you just don't want to face the snow and ice...

LOL!!! Next time, tell him you ordered a vegetarian pizza :-)
he kept telling me there were cans of beans in the pantry and fresh spinach and carrots to be dealt with, but i'd been up since 7:30, had to deal with flight delays, getting stuck on the plane because the jetway couldn't reach the door, almost missing my connecting flight, going from 75 degree weather to snow on my car....whine whine whine!!! I deserve pepperoni!
But you know what makes it better? 2 dogs that missed me all curled up on me!

I have not noticed that problem, but I don't have a dog so there's no need for me to hire someone to watch my dog when I go away. Unless my freezer dies on me, I usually have something decent to eat when I get home from a long trip.

Ditto here. We almost always have something in the freezer or pantry that we can whip up with minimal effort after arriving home from a trip. But we've also been known to stop and pick up something along the way or get something delivered. (Nothing wrong with ordering pizza after you arrive home from a trip. After all, you're still sort of in "trip mode" at that point and therefore can still eat whatever you like. Dieting/eating healthy begins the *following* day. 😉
Our pet sitter visits our home on a daily basis when we're away (and doesn't actually stay over at the house), so there's no danger of that person eating our food.
And we don't have the snow/cold weather to deal with after getting home, either. Nice to live where it's warm.

You should ignore your boyfriend's grumbles and not let him make you feel guilty about what you eat.
We usually have traveled about 36 hours straight when we get back from month-long vacations in India to Portland, Oregon with two kids in tow. I clean out the refrigerator and freezer completely and just leave open boxes of baking soda in them before leaving. So, we have to drag our jet-lagged, tired selves to the grocery store as soon as we arrive to at least get some milk, bread and a few other staples to feed the children first(they tend to starve on flights!). Sometimes, one of our friends remembers our return date and brings in the staples, which we gratefully accept...
Yes, this is a problem with traveling. But meeting all the relatives every couple of years and watch them bond with my children make it worth it.

Don't have that problem, but I do have to go to the vet to pick up the cat and the bird. I'm usually too tired (or it's too late in the day) to do that when I return.

No ice here but I feel your pain! I try to do at least one load of laundry while I'm away, even if it means just washing up some things in the hotel sink.

As you said in a later post, you deserve that pepperoni 🙂

Sounds like you were gone a long time!
Canned lentil soup and crackers should hit the spot without much effort.
Anyway, pizza once in a while is fine. Eat healthier from then on for him 🙂
Sue(tm) Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!
Never leave home without a book to read....lol....Sharon
I actually had to buy a book at the airport. I'd finished the last unread book in my house and I had packed a couple more to read, but I just was not in the mood for them. I bought the very thick Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, I'm not all that impressed.
I also got on to the airport wifi and emailed people, posted to my webiste and entertained myself that way.

I was gone wednesday through monday and I had cleaned things out pretty well and left notes for the dogsitter to eat this and that so it would not go bad. I do try to eat better, and normally I am not so bad, but if I get lazy i get lazy in really unhealthy ways.

Well you have to factor in that this "Bubbo" is apparently a Grade A airhead, Stanley...

hmmm, it's well written and all that, and it does have some fascinating moments. I'm only about 1/3 through it right now and I keep expecting something more interesting. I think part of the problem is that the story takes place in early 19th century england and so I am reminded of Oscar Wilde and Jane Austen and all those other writers and period pieces I can't stand. There's so much drawing room etiquette and ladies being proper that I fear I shall be driven quite mad...SEE!!!
It's actually not bad, just not as riveting as I had hoped it would be, but since it is the only unread book I own, i will stick with it.

I love Jane Austen. I love the humour in her books and the gentle rebellion. However, for the most part I read best-sellers, unintellectual books.

It's not quite Jane Austen, she had more comedy in her stuff. More 'comedy of errors' situations. This is really more of that period but not funny, really.
I don't know, I have such weird taste in books I might not be the best critic. I just think more STUFF should be happening, especially if it's that damned thick.
