Now you didn’t really think I’d skip this week’s Thursday Thoughts post did you? I just disguised it! Haha, I just love writing these posts. And seeing as I spent all day yesterday on airplanes, I didn’t have much of a post put together anyway. I hope you’re all excited for the weekend and have something fun and/or relaxing planned! I’m headed back to Chicago this weekend and so excited because I get to see many of my Chicago blogger friends at book club! This month we’re reading Heartsick by Chelsea Cain, so if you read it as well and have a review on your blog, feel free to send me an email before Monday! Now, on to today’s Friday Facts!
1. Fact: I usually take the aisle seat when I fly because I can use the restroom without making anyone get up and I can stand up and get off more quickly when we land. However, I took the window seat for all 4 of my flights to and from San Francisco just so I could see the mountains and desert we were flying over.
2. Has anyone heard of Evolution juices? Apparently it’s Starbucks’s new juicing line. I saw these in a Starbucks in Denver, and then I saw an actual Evolution Juice store in San Francisco. I might have to try it out!
3. Check out this airport breakfast. Normally I end up eating a cup of fruit and either a granola bar or yogurt. Well I had some extra time in Oakland since my flight was delayed, so I got this veggie and bacon omelet with home fries. It was fluffy and not one bit greasy. Oakland for the win.
4. Speaking of flights, I had a 50 minute layover in Albuquerque, however my first flight was delayed 40 minutes, leaving me with 10. I was worried that 1) my bag wouldn’t make it and 2) I’d get an awful seat. Lucky me these fears went away when I realized that 1) when we got to the gate my two planes were right next to each other (my bag made it) and 2) the flight was over half empty (got a good seat). Things always work out.
5. My friend in San Francisco works for a jewelry designer who has a couple shops. They sell Kitsch hairbands and she got me 3 of these tie dye ones with her employee discount: $3.50 for all of them! I’m in love with these hairbands.
6. All this flying means a lot of reading, so I’ve got some book reviews coming up! I read the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and I’m halfway through Matched by Allie Condle.
7. I’m so off schedule. I’d been waking up around 6am west coast time, so today I woke up at 8am central time. Lol this is sleeping in for me.
8. This week has really gotten me thinking about where I want to live after I graduate. I love Chicago and the people I feel like I don’t want to stay there long term. I also know this is the one time in my life when I can move around without having to take into account other people (husband, children).
9. Okay, okay, it’s time to announce the winner of the Sambazon Smoothie prize pack!
The winner is… Rachel!
Email me with your address and we’ll get it to you ASAP! Congrats!
