So.. due to I am not sure what.. storms?? My flight back to Chicago from Birmingham was cancelled. Thankfully I happen to be stuck here an extra night with some of my favorite people from work. We had an excellent dinner and this unexpected hotel room I am staying in has free Netflix streaming. Season 4 of Sherlock here I come!

Just a quick update from my first full day during my work trip to Birmingham Alabama. The first two pics were taken during a quick break from my all day meeting. The meeting has been going smoothly and once again I am being treated well by the many people I am meeting at the Birmingham office.

The last pic was taken at a place called Taco Mama where my team went for dinner. It was delicious and I loved my pomegranate margarita 🙂 As you can see, I was wearing my rainbow heart necklace in honor of pride month. (Also the humidity had done a number on my hair)

I forgot to mention that yesterday while I was at the airport (in my flowered sun dress ..see earlier post) my team and I went to Chilis in the terminal. The bartender was a sweet guy who at one point said to me “here you go, young lady.” I wasn’t the one running the tab either so he was not just angling for a good tip. He is now my favorite new bartender 🙂 Thanks Mike the Bartender, that made my day!

Delayed flight due to maintenance for work trip to Birmingham AL. Hair up because this plane is fully boarded and about 92 degrees in the cabin. It’s hot!
