Craziness, I miss one day and it feels like I haven't posted in forever... hmm, I'd suggest that I need a hobby, but online shopping and blogging are my hobbies!?
Yesterday was a busy day at work, and in addition to that, I played travel agent for the majority of the day. I like to travel the way I shop - and that's getting the best deal possible. So booking through
Ebates and using my Starwood Preferred Guest membership is a must!
I have two trips coming up and both are to good ol' sunny California. These two trips will make California my most visited state, surpassing Washington and Florida. Which, seems a little out of norm for a Mid-Atlantic East Coast girl, but 5-hour flights are a cakewalk for this cross-continental vet....
mmmm, cake.
My first trip is a quickie, so my plan is to pack light and just bring a carry-on. On official the scale of "tendency to over pack" I place myself at a 7. I normally load up and then edit some things out... but regardless, bring more than necessary. My goal is place myself at a "5" and bring only what I need, so you bet you'll be seeing my Polyvore Travel sets in the up coming weeks.
I was surprised and honored when I caught up with two of my blog-sessions this morning and saw that I was nominated for a award by the Cute-as-a-button Coley of
Coley's Closet Cravings and Keepin'-it-real-Kristen of
K's Conspiracy of Being Maria. Thanks Ladies!
So in no particular order... 10 Random Facts about Me.
1. I am the only person in my immediate family to have been born on the east coast (Jersey Girl!)
2. I despise Pink, specifically hot pink... product of my Tomboy-ish Girly Rebellion
3. I own 3 skirts, I wear them never.
4. My first car was a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it kicks my current "reasonable" and good mileage getting Honda's ass.
5. As a child I had a dog, a cat, and even a guinea pig.
6. I've never broken a bone (knock on wood), but have had my fair share of stitches...
7. My favorite flowers are daisies because I like their simplicity and crisp white petals, hydrangeas are a close runner up.
8. I love baked goods... muffins, brownies, bread, cookies, cake, you name it!
9. Got 3rd place (for the women) in a 5K race in Philadelphia last year, sadly I've been slacking on my fitness since my wedding - 6 months ago!
10. Loves March Madness and, even though I'm a UNC girl at heart, I have picked Kansas for the last 5 years... you bet I'm going with them again to take it all!!!
