Weekly Top 10 Countdown!

This week the top down countdown is things that I wish someone had of told me before I moved to “big girl” city. Here goes!

10. There are 25 Moe’s in a 10 miles radius (well 25 of every store in a ten mile radius). When someone says they want to meet you for dinner, they’ll say the place and the address. WRITE THE ADDRESS DOWN!

9. If your GPS says it will take you 20 minutes to get there, plan for 30, and if it’s 5 o’clock, plan for 2 hours. For realz. Rush hour for 8:30 starts at 6, and for 5 starts at 3. On Fridays, traffic on 85 starts at 11pm the night before.

8. Georgia 400 is the southern equivalent of the AutoBahn. Even the truck drivers are intimidated by the oversized-SUV-drives non-job holding moms racing home after a grueling day at the salon or Neiman’s to meet their children at the school bus coming home from the college prep preschool.

7. No one knows how to get anywhere but to his or her house and to work.

6. Sunday night after 8pm is the time to go to the grocery store. It’s only 80% crowded compared to the usual 176% crowded, and there is always cute guys.

5. Four right turns will not bring you out where you started. In SC, everything is pretty much on a grid system (duh). But here, someone was drunk and following a cow, hence the roads that go all over the place. The chamber of commerce calls it that “scenic route” and posts signs everywhere tell you not the get lost along it. DUH!!!

4. Satan lives here. That’s the only reason that I can come up with that would explain why it’s always so freakin’ hot. There are still 4 seasons here though: too hot to be spring, summer, gates of hell, and almost thinking about autumn.

3. Just because it looks nice on the outside doesn’t mean it’s a nice place. This is mainly relating to apartments and houses. You see of a picture of a place online, it looks pretty, you go visit, realize the place is pretty, but that it’s probably not the “best fit” for you, and wave to the prostitute on the way out of the complex. No liez, it happens.

2. OTP and ITP actually are used in everyday language and on billboards. It took me 3 months to even know what they stood for, and that people could tell something about you just by which of those you were.

And #1, and I’m sure anyone that has visited here can TOTALLY relate to this.

1. Peachtree is the most overused word EVAH! OH EM JEE. When someone gives you directions, they always start with “go to Peachtree, then…”. There’s Peachtree Industrial, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Dunwoody, Peachtree Court, Peachtree Street, Peachtree Creek Road, Peachtree Lane, Peachtree Avenue, Peachtree Circle, Peachtree Drive, Peachtree Plaza, Old Peachtree, Peachtree Way, Peachtree Memorial Drive, and Peachtree Valley Road. So just a heads up, never ask for directions. Especially if you’re already on Peachtree! Haha!
It’s Fantastic Friday!!! Do something nice for someone!

Much love!
