Yesterday I had to travel to Philadelphia for work. It's a 2 1/2 drive there, so coworkers and I rented cars and headed out to the City of Brotherly Love. I set out with the intentions of finding Bachelor Reid and somehow striking up a conversation/relationship/marriage with him while there, but for some reason, none of that happened.
Instead, I got a treat that's probably just behind finding my soulmate. As my coworker and I drove up I-95 (in a pick-up truck while listening to country music, mind you), I got the bright idea to find a Chick-fil-A. Fortunately for me, Taylor used to live in Atlanta and got on board IMMEDIATELY. Making good use of our iPhones, we promptly got off at our exit, Google Mapped directions from "Current Location" to the nearest Chick-fil-A, and followed the call of that little red bubble that was emanating from the QuakerBridge Mall in Lawrenceville, NJ.
As we sat in the food court eating our #1 combos with sweet tea (!), Taylor asked what I miss most about living in Atlanta. I said 1) family and friends, 2) Chick-fil-A and 3) going to Athens to football games in the fall. Maybe my excitement caused me to exaggerate where Chick-fil-A falls on that list...but I don't think so.

My brother lives near the ESB, and when I visit (as I will be in three weeks), he always asks me to bring a #1 and a 12-pk of nuggets for him. I usually pick up a diet coke for him at laguardia to complete the meal.
I'm always worried that Hartsfield is going to confiscate them, but they haven't yet. I just remind them that the closest CFA is at Paramus and they're okay with it.
This is so funny! :) Glad you got your #1 with sweet tea.
THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO COME HOME :O)

... this, my dear, is why we're friends.
