new slogan for Ohio: "Bigger than it looks on the map!"

Lotto update: I did win $2 in Mass while waiting for the bus on Tuesday. Ohio was a no-go...BUT I almost won a chance to enter a drawing to be on a game show. So... that's weird. And almost cool.  Total so far is now.... $59!

"Welcome to Pennsylvania! That will be.... $4.30." Toll roads are annoying. But Pittsburgh! I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. I am already enamored! Plus this is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Shout out to Priceline.

I always joke about being lazy. But traveling has recently made me realize that my laziness is more complex and selective than I had thought before. For example: this morning, after realizing that it was going to be colder than I expected, and having a ready-to-go dress but badly wrinkled pants, I made the decision to go to Target to get tights instead of ironing my pants. Granted, I needed contact solution too.... but let's be honest. I really didn't want to iron those pants. 

also.... I like cornfields, but MAN. Radio just keeps getting more and more terrible out here. New favorite/most applicable country song: "Baggage Claim." (google those lyrics, trust me - it's worth it.) Probably another instance of selective laziness.... obviously I'd rather spend hours scanning through terrible music than take 2 minutes to plug in my iPod and be able to listen to things I like.

I also may have inadvertently helped a student tabling next to me today decide on her future life path. What can I say, obviously I'm an inspirational person.

PS.... coffee on my dress = have to iron the pants anyway. Comeuppance.
