I'm sitting in an airport in Raleigh-Durham after going to a close friend's wedding in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. It's weird to think that I'm flying home to New York; I had the same feeling last week when I flew back from a business trip in Boston. Despite this, I am a big fan of the east coast so far.
Fashion is definitely different here - besides the cutting edge trends, I am amazed by how many people look like they stepped out of a J. Crew or LL Bean catalog. In the city, sandals and shorts label you as a tourist, but it is so hot and humid right now I don't really care. I did get to rock the seersucker jacket to the wedding, and the Southern girls loved the look.
We are finally getting the bulk of our furniture on Wednesday, which is good because I'm tired of sitting in our dining room chairs and looking at the TV on the floor. Our bed was delivered last Thursday right before we left. Actually, the bed came on Tuesday, but there was no way we could get it into the building. Instead of returning the bed (we spent days looking for it and it was the only one we liked), we called the store and they recommended an interesting service. For about 4X more than the normal delivery fee, this guy rolled back the upholstery on the bed and CUT THE FRAME IN HALF. After lugging it up the stairs and barely making it through our doorways, he reassembled and reupholstered the whole thing in our bedroom. I hope our couches will make it in.
More pics and thoughts to come later . . .
