Silence & Solitude

I'm wrapping up my time here in Little Rock, AR. It's been a good trip. This isn't one of my bigger territories so it requires more road time between doc. offices. I visited surround areas such as Jacksonville, Hot Springs & Russellville. They are all 45-90 minutes away so I found myself jamming out to the radio and taking in the beautiful scenery of changing leaves. I heart fall! Here is my top 10 moments in AR:

1. Eating Cracker Barrel's french toast breakfast for dinner...in the luxury of my king sized hotel bed.


2. Making the comment to one of the hotel workers that I love this weather, chilly enough to wear jeans and a sweatshirt with flip-flops. His response, "that's you style isn't it!" haha wow...I'm such a fashionista!


3. looking like a wet rat going into doc. offices b/c I was soaked all the way down to my unmentionables. ;)


4. speaking of rain...it was painful to buy an umbrella at Walgreens for a whopping $13. Seriously people...I could get one at the dollar store. I hate when convenience overrides bargains.


5. Being in AR makes me think of my roommate in college b/c she has family here! Shout out JM.


6. I knew it was a week of silence & solitude when I found myself wanting to ask the hotel workers if they wanted to hang out...I'm not good at alone.
   
7. I actually did have a little bonding time with my boy R today while we watched a 6 year old boy in a helium balloon fly 5,000 feet over CO on CNN. Ends up he just let the balloon go & was hiding in the attic afraid of what he had done. This really could be a blog in itself...did anyone see this? http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/15/colorado.boy.balloon/index.html


8. Listening to a 80 year old patient YELL at her doctor about how her arm itched so bad she would rather be dead...interesting conversation.


9. Stayed up late to watch an lifetime movie that was a huge disappointment. Lifetime usually doesn't let me down, but this one really did. I should have known since it featured Lindsay Lohan. I'd put any of Sally Field's Lifetime originals up to this little ditty any day.


10. I got a new phone from verizon right before I left, which now means I don't have to only talk to people on speakerphone! Yay for a free LV EnV touch!
