savannah: part 1
I'm baaaaccck! Well, I've been back since Wednesday, but I've been crazy busy since then. This post begins the Savannah posts. This one will be sightseeing then I have three outfit posts as well. This post is extremely picture heavy.
I booked the trip through Priceline and they got our flight information for the trip down there ALL messed up. Our itinerary said United Airlines, but we were unable to check in once we got there. The airline had no record of us. They don't even fly to Charlotte (where our connecting flight was)! We were freaking out. Some kind woman told us that US Air was where we wanted to be, since United and US have something called "code shares". Which apparently means they make up flight numbers. We managed to get on the right flight in plenty of time, though.
We had a quick stop off in Charlotte then a quick flight to Savannah. We got there too early to check into our hotel, so they held our luggage for us while we explored the city. We walked along the river and then decided to take a trolley tour so we'd be more familiar with the town.
It's just sooo beautiful there! The architecture is amazing. The squares speckled throughout the city are gorgeous, with the live oaks and Spanish moss everywhere. We spent most of our time just strolling around, taking it all in. And eating.
After walking around for awhile and our trolley tour, we were exhausted and desperate for a nap. Plus it was super hot the whole time we were there, so we were sweaty messes. So we headed back to the hotel where thankfully we were able to get into our room.
We napped, changed, and headed out for dinner. We ate at the Moon River Brewing Company and got our first to-go cups. As long as you're over 21, you can wander around Savannah with booze in plastic cups. AMAZING.
After dinner we wandered back to the hotel and just sat drinking and chatting at the hotel bar and we were in bed by 10:30. We were exhausted, since we'd had to get up at 3am to make our 6am flight.
We stayed at the Avia Savannah, which I would recommend. It was steps from City Market and River Street, and literally right across from Paula Deen's restaurant. It was so easy to get anywhere we wanted to be. The hotel staff was super friendly and helpful, and they leave Andes mints on your pillow at night. SOLD.
Stay tuned for many more parts to come! I am milking this trip for all it was worth! ;)

30 for 30: day 18
I thought it might be interesting to write out what a normal day in my life looks like right now. Maybe some day I will look back on this blog and be all nostalgic about the little things in my life. Or maybe I'll look back and say "Oh yawn. February 2011 was such a snooze." Either way, I'm documenting it.
This morning I woke up late. I did my weigh in - down .4 lbs. Disappointed that it wasn't more, happy it was still a loss rather than a gain. Got ready, decided to curl my hair despite the fact that I was already running late. Then I realized I wanted to take a package to the post office today while I was at work but I needed packing tape. Turned house upside down looking for packing tape. Was unsuccessful. Grabbed package anyway, along with some snacks for work. No time to make lunch. Frost on my windshield, scraped a tiny hole big enough for me to see out of and drove off into the blazing sunrise. Yes, I do go to work that early.
Got to work. Felt overwhelmed with all the stuff I had to do at work yet didn't want to. Met with my boss where she told me they were trying to cut down on the number of side projects I did so I could focus on the more important aspects of my job. Score! Then she actually asked what they could do to help me streamline the things I do and when I made suggestions she seemed game to make the changes Score two! Felt better about my work load for the rest of the day.
[30 items: denim shirt, black shorts, black boots/belt - Target/fleece lined tights - Target/bracelet - Tiffany/sunglasses - Ray Ban/fur collar - H&M/coat - H&M]
Ran my errands on my lunch break - bank, post office. The lady at the post office basically yelled at me for paying with a $20. Like it's my fault that's what the ATM gives out. Trust me, I don't like it either, but I'm not a bitch about it. I decided to treat myself to a grilled sandwich from the Coastal Greengrocer for lunch - arugula, turkey, goat cheese, pesto and provolone - heaven. I'm kind of obsessed with the Greengrocer all of a sudden. The rest of the afternoon went by drama and aggravation free! Now I am home, getting this post all queued up for tomorrow. So what you're reading is actually my yesterday. That's mind boggling.
The coat and fur collar make me think of Maude from Harold and Maude for some reason. Love that movie so much. It used to be watch instant on Netflix and now it's not anymore. What gives, Netflix?
My actual outfit feels a little "urban cowgirl" to me, as ridiculous as that sounds. It's the denim shirt and boots that do it.
Tomorrow (today!) is Friday, hallelujah. My goals for the weekend are home mani/pedi, organize my room, and color my hair. It's going to be stupendous. How about you? What's your ideal weekend at home plan?
