I know I know. I haven’t written in ages. What do you do without Anne in your life?! So I don’t have any horribly crazy stories like I had when we first moved to London but here is what is going on in our life right now, I’ll take you through a glorious day:
5:45-6am – Wake up to my fabulous new app “Sleep Cycle” – yes its free and I LOVE it. It tracks your sleep pattern and wakes you up at the best possible time in a 30 minute period of your choice. So I rarely wake up “tired”, unless I work too late. Try it! It rocks. (Yet, another fabulous bonus of being in the US – Iphones that have work email on them!!!) It also has this beautiful peaceful music tune to wake us up….Burr you love it don’t you?
6-8am – Work out, get ready, eat breakfast. What is so special about this?! Well its awesome in the hotel. So I roll out of bed, go downstairs to the gym (approx. 30 second commute) without waking up Burr unless he is coming with, then back upstairs to shower – where I can leave my towel on the floor, bed unmade, and ironing board out. Then downstairs again to have a fully cooked breakfast all for me, no dishes, no cooking, just ta-da prepared! Finally before getting on the shuttle, I drop my grocery list off at the front desk so they can do my shopping, buy the items, and leave them in my fridge during the day. Then I either walk to work or jump on the hotel’s shuttle a few blocks to work.
8am - ? – Work and lunch with a friend. I have been trying to make lunch plans with someone different each day. Its so nice to take an hour and have a normal conversation. I bet I did that about 20 times in 2 years in London, love America. Also totally loving the plethora of options to eat. Sushi, Chinese, Organic, Pizza, Burgers, Fushion all within 100 yards. Now, there were amazing places to go in London to eat….but at work…not so much. And, not exactly “affordable.” Sorry go ‘ole Hilton salad bar, I don’t miss you and your employee turnover.
After work - We either have dinner out or just hang out in our hotel room. But I get to do things like “Face time with Clare” or talk on the phone to all my long lost friends…I mean they were not lost, they just didn’t talk to me at 8pm because that would be 3pm usually and the middle of their work day. And best of all – all the trashy TV you can get a hold off (Anyone watching Ashley on the Bachelorette?...she is totally killing me…really nice gal…just not near dramatic enough to make the show interesting in the least, but I still watch – don’t lie you do too).
Time for bed – Ends every night with a bath. A bubble bath! In my very own bath tub. A M A Z I N G.
Wake up and do it all over. I’m in love.
The end.
PS – As I am writing this I’m a little worried about what I’m going to do once we move out of the hotel. But then I remember I get to see all our belongings!!!! AHHHH - SO EXCITED I’m almost brought to tears! I mean, I know they are just things…but they represent our wonderful life, in a house, and I’m thrilled.
PPS - To all my London friends I love you, you know that, don't forget it...I just like America too :-P
