So today is a week that I've been in St Louis for work. Before I left home, I checked the 10 day forecast so I would know how to pack. Yall, the whole forecast Changed once I got here. Snow was NOT in the forecast, just some rain and temps dipping to 37 at night. So I packed a jacket and some gloves. It has snowed like crazy for a few days and I am not equipped with my warm winter coat, boats, and beanie hats. I bought a scarf at Goodwill over the weekend.
Work has been crazy and I had to work on Saturday which is part of the plan for a conversion. What makes things nice is that I have a handful of good friends here so i'm able to have dinner with them. I don't get to see them often at all and it beats hanging in hotel alone every night .
I have a team member that is also good friend of mine that got sent to Kansas City on this project. On Sunday, we both drove 2 hours each and met in the middle in Columbia, Missouri. We had breakfast and did some retail therapy at the local mall. There was a Ronald McDonald display /fundraiser and there were lots of super cute gingerbread houses that we found out were all made from school kids. Some of them are so dang good!! It was such a fun day and I got to see a little countryside scenery on the way.
I am very ready to go home on Friday! I miss my husband and my 2 dogs like crazy. I am on a quick break so i'm keeping this short and I don't like to skip a week if I can help it.
Here are some pics from St Louis and also some more pics from our bike trip 2 weekends ago:

| Did you know that toasted ravioli's are a THING from St Louis? They're on every menu. Some are better than others |
 |
| My setup they did for me here- card table stuck in the corner |
 |
| These stripper shoes were on random bench in front of restaurant the other night. Cracked me up and I had to take pic |

Pray that my plane does not get delayed on Friday due to the snowstorm we're supposed to get tomorrow. Have a great rest of the week!
I kinda lost my train of thought at toasted raviolis. That is my go-to anyplace they have them, and we have them a lot up here. I snapped out of it at the toilet papaer phone. If that is suggesting a concierge service, I'll wipe my own, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLOL- I love your comment. The raviolis were good but some I've had were too chewy and not tasty.
DeleteThat phone was funny- ironically it had a buzzing when you picked it up which was weird- why not just silence if it was cut off?
I'm about 3 hours north of St. Louis and we love our toasted Rav's! That snow store will defiantly slow down the city they do not know what to do when it snows so best of luck and safe travels.
ReplyDeleteIts crazy today! Schools and businesses are closed which surprises me. I had a coworker pick me up this am because I didn't want to drive in it.
DeleteI do like the toasted Rav's!
Toasted ravioli and shots of stripper shoes? You, ma'am, are a wonder!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't have to miss your heart and furry babes for too much longer. Still, keep enjoying yourself in any way you can (and share it with us).
I get to go home tomorrow !! I don't want to stay another hour longer than I have to. This trip has been too long and too hard. I need my own people and dogs.
DeleteThe snow is crazy today and last night. A coworker picked me up so I didn't have to drive so I'm very grateful for that. xoxo
