Living Out of A Suitcase

I now understand why people who constantly travel for work are worn out. I have been gone for a week for training and orientation. I came home for the weekend and I'm leaving again tomorrow night for meetings until Wednesday.

I am becoming quite the traveler, despite some funny mishaps at the beginning of my adventure. Upon my arrival in "southern city"last week, I was told that my reservations were at a "Comfort Inn & Suties", or so I thought. I wheeled in the Comfort Inn and noticed that there was only one other car in the parking lot. Puzzled, I got out all 16 of my bags and walked in to check-in. As I read my confirmation number to the desk worker, he looked at me like I was stupid. I re-read the email confirmation to him and he started to laugh at me. "Ma'am, this is the Comfort Inn, not the Comfort Suites." Geez, who knew they were two different hotels?! I always thought it was called "Comfort Inn and Suites". So, I packed all my bags back in and drove another couple of miles to the Comfort Suites.

I will say that staying in a hotel alone is kind of weird. And forget about me eating at a restaurant alone. It's not that I care, but I'd rather not chance getting hit on or abducted by a creeper. Plus the local Hooter's and Logan's Roadhouse beside my hotel just weren't cuttin' it. Most nights I drove to the Super Target and got some Lean Cuisines. Thank goodness for wireless internet, because I don't know what I would have done without it.

I really need to get that Longchamp suitcase I was talking about a while ago. I am so tired of traveling with 16 different bags. This is what my travel situation looks like:

I was in Atlanta the beginning of last week and did quite a bit of shopping. Anthropologie had some great things for transitional pieces. Here are some of the things I purchased from Anthro:

I am going to wear this dress/tunic with black pants and possibly belt it:

I also got this cute dress from Antrho, which I wore to a work-related retreat:

I have wanted the "simple 100" Loub pumps for a while now. I decided that camel would probably be the best option since they would go with anything. The simple 100's are SO comfortable ... seriously, I wore them all day and they didn't hurt my feet:

I hope everyone has been doing great. I promise I will be back to my normal every-day blogging self once all of this initial work orientation, training, and meetings are over.

I am going to list some more things on the Online Yardsale tomorrow. I am also going to mark down some of the items that did not sell.
