Georgia On My Mind

So tomorrow, Friday the 13th (dun dun dun), I'm moving to St Louis. Besides my family and friends that I'll miss (because that's a given), here are the creature comforts and familiar places that I'll miss...

1. The glow in the dark stars on my ceiling. I've had these suckers up since 7th or 8th grade. That means they've been sticking up there at least 13 years. I'll miss gazing at these at night.

2. My puppy, Patches. Well, technically he's not a puppy, he'll be 15 in November, but he'll always be a puppy to me.




3.


Thanks Skyscraper Forum for the picture.


The Bank of America building in Atlanta...or as I refer to it, the Pencil Building. Seriously, it looks like a pencil at the top. I can't stand Bank of America, but the building is so pretty when all lit up at night.

4. My swimming pool and hot tub in my backyard. I'm seriously a pool snob, I've had a pool in my backyard since I was 10. I love being able to sit in the pool during the summer reading a book on the edge. During the winter, one of my favorite things to do is get in the hot tub and stare up at the pretty stars while looking at my breathe get all frosty. I'll miss this.

5. Waffle House. Don't knock it. It's amazing, with their scattered and covered hashbrowns and waffles...not that I can finish either when I order them together.

6. Mayfield Milk. The magical milk in the magical yellow jug in which no other milk can compare. I can drink a gallon of milk all by myself in half a week, and I'll going to be going through withdrawals.



7. Race Trak Icees. They don't have them out in St. Louis and my heart hurts thinking about it :(


8. Chick-fil-a. They don't have these things out in St. Louis. I was raised on them and Truett Cathy, the founder, has such an amazing business ethic that I admire so much. Their lemonade is to die for.

9. My happy yellow house. It always looks cheery no matter how gloomy it is. I feel like you can see how much love went into the house, even from the outside.

10.

99x. I'm a total 99x girl. I've been listing to them since they first started up in the 90s, followed them on the Internet when they took a couple year vacation, and talked them up so much when they returned to the air. I'm a loyal 99x listener and will always be. I'll be listening to them stream online, but I'm sad that I won't be able to rock out in my car

Turn that frown upside down

So Friday was going to be an amazing day. I got the day off of work, I got paid, and I was heading up to see one of my besties, Smoochie. On the way up to North Georgia I decided to meet up with one of my other other halfs, Lauren, to got Einstein's Bagels. In the process of getting my yummy dutch apple bagel, I dropped it on the floor (it was the last one they had), my bracelet broke, they gave my other bagel to the wrong person, and when I went to leave, my car was booted. $75 to get that sucker off. However, it was a bad roadbump in the middle of what was going to be an awesome weekend.

How do you cure such a case of bad luck that should be bottled and sold as some sort of weapon?

Two icees (I have a free refill cup, so we're lucky it ended with just two).



My Smoochie...


Smoochie's wonderful husband and my fake brother-in-law, plus Nero :)

A tea party, complete with tea made the traditional British way.

A Lunar Eclipse Party sponsored by Summit attended with the besties.







PS...did I mention we saw this lovely man.

Daniel Cudmore...more pretty as a human than a vampire.

What did ya'll do this weekend?
