It's not so much the airport itself as its location in relation to where I want to end up - according to Google, Burbank airport to my hotel is a 10 minute drive. LAX to my hotel is 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in traffic. No thank you.

They just opened up a Chipotle about a block from my office. So far I have managed to pretend it's not there, but I bet once it stops being too cold to go outside it's going to be a lot harder.

I had Chinese food for lunch--our friend who runs the daycare at our gym called me and urged me to come it (she bought lunch!). So the kids got to play, I got to shower AND got a yummy lunch.

Soooooo needed it.

I had carrots and strawberries with my lunch. I feel like a paragon of virtue.

Bah. UK musical instrument place wouldn't take my debit card. (They said, "Cannot Verify your Credit Card.") I'll have to try a credit card later.

There are a number of places (Amtrak, iTunes, some gas stations) that won't take my debit card - they tell me I've entered an incorrect billing address zip code, even though it's correct. When I've called in the past, Amtrak told me it was my bank's fault, and my bank said they were reporting my correct zip code so it was Amtrak's fault. I've had to use credit cards for these places.

LAX to your hotel is not 30 minutes. I don't know where you're staying, but I can assure you of that. Nowhere is actually 10 minutes from the Burbank airport and just 30 minutes from LAX. Not in any naturally occurring traffic patterns outside of 3am. And even then, you might get dinged for speeding.

The area where the 10 hits the 405 is a mess. Luckily it's about where I get off the freeway, so I don't have to spend too much time in it, ever.

it's going to be a lot harder

Their menu is just so simple and tempting...it was worth the long line I stood in yesterday. But their portions are way too large. I think I'm sticking to bowls from now on. They're at least 1.5 servings for me, if not 2.

now have diet coke. am feeling better.

The Safari, where the LA F2F was. Google Maps estimates 32 minutes, but its possible they were assuming I was Jack Bauer.

I had Chipotle leftovers for lunch. Barracoa bowl.

We ordered in from Chipotle today! And I had a vegetarian burrito bowl. It was the first time I've had a bowl, and I feel there was too much lettuce and not enough rice. That said, their guacamole always makes me happy.
