From In-N-Out to Shawarma

April 1, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 5 Comments

It’s been almost a week since we came back from our vacation. I haven’t adjusted to the time shift. I thought I knew jet lag. 

I thought it’s all the same. I thought we were this [] close. That I could just shake it off and go to work the next day. I was so wrong to assume! How come nobody told me how jet lag really feels like?! All the jet lags I’ve experienced before were just posers. They were not the real thing!

First things first: 

 In-N-Out. 

That is the very first thing we did when we arrived in LA. Passed by In-N-Out and grabbed some mean burgers and fries! I have no regrets.  We ate a lot. We had lots of fun. We crossed 2 State Lines. We had an adventure. In fact, I was able to cross out some items on my bucket list!

I can’t wait to blog all about it. 

But it will take some time. Maybe at least when I’ve recovered from this stupid jet lag. 

Meanwhile, I just want to let you know that I’m back. Back in the sandpit and back to eating my cheap comfort food:

Shawarma. 🙂

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

      Hi Sanne!
      So true! We really started the trip by going to In & Out. Now I’m craving for some animal fries. 😀

    I wasn’t able to try In N Out while there but I did have a sh*tload of Five Guys burgers, East Coast’s version of In N Out. :p

    Welcome back! 🙂

      Was looking for Five Guys but no luck… anyway, it’ll open in Dubai, I think.
      Also, we were able to try White Castle sliders… yum!

      Thanks! Next stop, Doha!! 🙂

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
