Good morning and Happy Monday!
The skyline-filled view from the plane this morning and the traffic on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway reminded me very quickly that I’m no longer in Savannah. It was a slow, relaxed weekend outside of Saturday and therefore coming out of it almost feels like I have a bit of a hangover from too much wine, relaxation and fun with family.
While I catch up on work and kick off my Monday, here are a few Monday musings.
Going home to Savannah is very easy now that we are just a quick, 2 hour flight home. Our parents can expect far more visits this year as we try to soak up as much time with them as well as the marsh views and water after missing it for so long. In fact, we already have four trips planned between now and May.
In response to Savannah’s horrible, rainy weather yesterday, we headed to the movie theater. We saw Burnt yesterday afternoon and loved it. There were raw, emotional moments but by the end the four of us left saying WOW what a great movie. Also, Bradley Cooper can cook for me anytime he wants. I realize critics didn’t love the movie but we really enjoyed it.
Speaking of movies, there are so many great ones either already in theaters or coming out soon. I have My All American, Love the Coopers, The Martian, The Peanuts Movie and Spectre on my list. What’s on yours?
I have access to what many consider the best pizza in the United States and NYC, but man did Papa John’s pepperoni and mushroom taste delicious last night.
I picked this sweater up at JCrew factory after my dad felt how soft it was. It’s loose without being sloppy and unflattering but cozy enough to wear during last night’s fireside and wine chat. Now that it’s on sale for just $39 I’m tempted to buy another color.
I committed to an average of three classes per week during Brooklyn Bar Method’s November challenge. Due to life and half marathon taper, I’ll have to do four classes this week and next week to reach the three class average. Any locals want to join me for a class?
Come back tomorrow for my Savannah Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon recap will go up tomorrow!
I just bought that Factory sweater in gray and now feel even more excited about my purchase. 🙂 It’s also an additional 35% online currently!
Definitely go see The Martian! It was a great movie. Though, as always, the book was MUCH better. I am very curious if the movie would make sense for those who hadn’t read the book, since they had to cut things for time that later left (small) holes in the plot.
I may have to buy that sweater! It’s still dreary down here in Savannah and I think the weather is finally turning towards winter. At least the race wasn’t yesterday? I am not sure if the cold/rain/wind would have been any better!
I always prefer rain/cold Madeline over the heat. My mom was actually in the medical tent after the race but they people said you were on a break. Luckily she was fine after sitting in the shade and taking in fluids and having ice on her pulse points.
Hi Ashley! So you have family in Savannah? That’s awesome. My parents live in Florida, but I’ve only ever been to Savannah once and loved it there. As far as movies, I NEVER go, but I actually want to see Burnt. My husband and I nearly went yesterday, but he was more interested in the BOND movie, so we held off hahaha. Hope you have a great week! 🙂
I lived in Savannah from age 4-18 and my family still lives there. I want to see the Bond movie but not sure where it stands among the rest on my list! 🙂
I wish we could be wearing sweaters here in Florida. Alas, it is still too darn warm…
I haven’t been to the movies in probably a couple of months. Will have to go soon with some of my girlfriends. Not sure what’s out there. LOL
I’m so glad it’s finally cool in NYC. Hopefully during Christmas holiday Savannah remembers that it’s WINTER and Savannah is cool! 🙂
I need to add Savannah to my list of places to visit some day!
I’m not much of a movie person, my husband teases me about it all the time- I’m that person who has no idea what anyone is talking about when they bring up movies in conversation!
I had to check out that sweater you recommended and ordered one. It showed up 2 days later and I must say it is so comfortable I may have to get another one! Wearing it right now!
I am so glad to hear this!! I’m wearing it today as well and am seriously in love. I may have to order it for my mom and aunt as a chirstmas gift!!
