South Carolina

We left yesterday morning around like 10:15 (lol). We were in no rush! We stopped for lunch at Chick-Fil-A around 2 in Pooler, Georgia, and after we ate, got gas and then stopped at McDonald's so V could get a giant iced coffee, we were back on the road around 3. We got to our hotel just after 7, checked in and brought up all our bags and then headed out to get some dinner and groceries. Before we left, we asked the receptionist where the closest WalMart was and she said just down the road. So we went back out onto the main road and searched for the big blue sign with the yellow star. About 15 minutes into our trek, the road pretty much forked and we saw NO WalMart! So we turned around and went to dinner at this chinese place V really wanted to go to. China Wok Buffet. Biggest buffet I've EVAR seen! I got some lo mein, rice, and a spring roll. I'm not too fond of chinese food because the last time I ate it, I spend the entire night awake, blowing chunks from the top and bottom (TMI, sorry!), so I wanted to play it safe. V got some "cripy shrimp" and insisted I try one, so I did, and it was REALLY good, but I was afraid to eat more than one. The rice wasn't very good, but the lo mein was pretty yummy! I ate a serving of that, and then got some huge pieces of pineapple and some strawberry jell-o, and was just fine! YAY! While I was finishing up my dinner, V handed me his phone and told me to look for WalMart. When I searched for it on the map, the red dot was practically on top of our current location. BAH. So after we were done, we walked out, and there it was, right across the street, with the shortest sign I've evaaaar seen for a WalMart! We picked up some essentials including, but not limited to: peanut butter, bread, jelly, water, ice cream, sweet tea, and chips.

Today V is at his school thingy and I'm at the hotel until he gets off around 5, then I'm going to meet him downstairs so we can drive around a little before we lose day light! So far today, I woke up with V around 7:30 and we went down to get breakfast before he had to leave. They had a belgian waffle maker and this little waffle batter dispenser to make waffles! Yum! I made one and it was pretty yummy, definitely the best free, hotel breakfast I ever had! After that, V had to leave and I came back up to the room and ended up going back to sleep for about an hour and a half. It was awesome. I woke back up around 10:30, watched a little tv, did my hair, painted my toenails, looked at the homework I have to do this week, and made my lunch. Now, here I sit, still in my pj's, watching Law&Order: SVU. There's an exercise room down from our room and I just might go check it out later, if I get really bored. I'm going to miss yoga this week, but I went on Monday morning, which is better than not at all this week! There's a yoga studio down the street from our hotel, but it's not hot, power yoga and regular yoga is pretty boring to me. Just being honest!

Anyways, here's me, today. Just straightened my hair for the first time in like the last month!

I freakin LOVE my hair. and I love how long my bangs are getting! For the last 2 years, prior to this year, I cut my bangs around Christmas/New Years:

2008-ish

2009...I'm so glad this year I didn't! I mean, I know I didn't look horrible with them, but I definitely prefer myself without bangs, especially because I'm not one who's big on up-keep. I know it sounds lazy, but I had to wash them EVERY morning so they would look good!
