It's 4:41am here and I've already been up for an hour. I am doing my best to keep myself on Eastern time for this week on the West coast. We'll see how that goes. :)
Lately I've been dealing with something I don't have to deal with a lot as a Carolina girl ... SNOW.
In Rochester last week, we had unseasonably warm weather until Friday -- my departure day -- when the snow came down in buckets. I laughed when I originally saw my rental car came equipped with long-handled ice scrapers (so not something I'm used to seeing in the South) but I was so happy at that moment to have them.
After removing about 6" of snow from my car, I made my way to the airport. I was dealing with a majorly delayed flight that was supposed to leave at 1:00pm. Long story short, US Air was able to book me on a 9:25am flight (mind you, this was around 12:00pm, and that flight still hadn't left the ground) which ended up finally getting the go-ahead to depart around 1:30pm. I missed my connection in Philly and had about 3 hours to kill before the next Charlotte flight, and there were definitely some tears shed in the airport.
I hate being that girl who is crying in the airport, but sometimes you just want to be HOME.
Ian consoled me and told me to go pick out something from an airport gift store and put it on our joint bank account. It worked; I smiled.
At 10pm I got home Friday night, and we had dinner together -- Chinese take-out and red wine. It was perfect.
So then I got ready to start packing for my next trip to Seattle. One glance at the temperature to know how to pack, and what do you know -- snow!
My flight yesterday was long, but I had these to get me through it. Nothing like a little airport treat!
And I got to the hotel last night right around my East coast bedtime. A quick chat with Ian and then straight to bed! I did snap this photo for him of the Mariners stadium that is directly across from my hotel. Pretty neat view from my hotel window, right?
Time to get ready for the day! I've got a busy day ahead of me -- working with a client and then taking a train down to Portland.
Stay warm, friend!!! xo
