Planes, Trains, Taxis cabs, All the Choices Hip...

I've bought my train tickets back to MI! I look forward to seeing some of my MI friends!!!

Also, I am looking forward to driving my car.

Oh, how I've missed you my little automobile!! It's been a long time since we've taken a trip together! Remember that time we went through the hills of PA? Ah, good times, good times...

Today I am being really, really lazy. I have accomplished almost nothing, except marinating a flat iron steak which I intend to cook tonight for dinner with broccoli and some home fries.

Gosh, I need to be more productive, maybe I will get out the sewing machine and try to hem my pants...

Planes, Trains, Taxis Cabs, all the choices hip!

Yesterday morning I got a funny call from Amtrak. It was to inform me that my train had been canceled because of an accident. Ok, I've got that, but here is where it gets funny, I was told it was going to be replaced by the same train. So the train was canceled to be replaced by it's self. Making no sense to me I call the number provided and they informed me that in fact the train was canceled, and that I would be taking a bus instead. This is the train I was scheduled to take.

The bus wasn't that bad, except I was alone with the driver for about an hour because there was only me at the first stop. It was kind of awkward, especially when the driver put on a horror film.

Anyhoo, now I'm in the second city, currently hanging out at my cousin's adorable apartment and preparing to job search for the day!



Time for the State of the Day!









Georgia!!!!
...is known as the "Peach State" and the "Empire State of the South". Atlanta is both the most populated city and the capital. Georgia is the home to Ted Turner who founded CNN, TBS and TCM among other networks. I like Georgia, well I've only really driven through Georgia, but it was pretty! You can read more here.
