Where in the World has Mrs. Potts Been?

Hot Topic, I know!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for the Potts' family. We've been separated (with me traveling to the frigid, cold New England area), we've hibernated, we've endured a "snow storm" at home in Charlotte. All in all, we've just been laying low.

I've had a few people reach out & ask if there is anything "special" going on. For those who may have been wondering (and really, I don't know that many of you have been wondering), no, I am not preggers. Mr. Potts & I are committed to being DINK's for the rest of our lives.

My past few weeks have simply looked like this:

Hotel Rooms

Sleepless nights

Watching Weeds (finally caught up on all the seasons now)

Doing our taxes & realizing we owe a stomach twisting amount to the IRS.

Cheering on the Saints while eating Red Beans & Rice

Some cooking, some cleaning & lots of laughter.

I've missed you all & hope you're all doing well. I'm doing my best to catch up with everyone.

Someone kept me awake last night & it wasn't Mr. Potts

The joys of traveling for work.

Going to new cities can be fun. You definitely get to see new sights & people.

Going to new restaurants can be fun (unless you're seriously trying to lose weight, then it becomes a little tricky). You get to try new places you've never eaten & possibly new foods.

Staying in hotels can sometimes be fun. You have your own personal housekeeper, which in a way is fairly accurate. You leave in the morning & when you return you have a freshly cleaned room. *POOF* Like Magic!

Sometimes, however, you just want to be home. Seeing the same people you see on a regular basis.

Sometimes you don't want to eat in a restaurant for every meal. You want to sit down at your own table, eat off of your own plates & eat food that you prepared.

Sometimes you want to sleep in your own bed in your own home with your own comforter pulled up nice & cozy.

Last night was one of those nights for me.

I was settled in, with my pillow fixed - the only pillow in the room that wasn't feather. And I have to admit, I can't stand feather pillows. I always wake up in the middle of the night with a feather poking me in the face. Not fun!

I'm woken up in the middle of the night.

To snoring. Loud, chainsaw snoring.

I reach over to nudge Mr. Potts and tell him to turn over.

Only Mr. Potts wasn't there. Remember? Sleeping in a hotel room.

Instead, I had a man on the other side of the hotel wall cutting down an entire forest with his snoring.

Incredibly loud snoring.

I tried calling out to the man to, "turn over" to no avail.

I tried banging my headboard against the wall only to realize that it would sound like I was having a wild night in a hotel room.

I didn't care at this point.

At some point, my body decided it could sleep through this and I went back to sleep.

Tonight, I look forward to a new hotel & hopefully new hotel neighbors who don't have a problem with chainsaws in the middle of the night.
