I’m back in Orlando! Even though we haven’t even lived in Ocala for a full month yet, I already feel nostalgic driving on the streets I used to drive on daily.
I really do miss Orlando! It’s such a fun and energetic city.
I am in Orlando today because I have a meeting this evening, but I took full advantage of being in my former hometown and made lunch plans with my best friend Laurel.
I picked her up at her work and we drove to Pita Pit to grab lunch.
Pita Pit reminds me so much of college! It was the go-to spot for “fourth meal.” You know the drunken meal you crave after 2 a.m.? Memories… 
Today I opted for a garden pita, packed with veggies!
I feel like I could totally recreate this at home. I would just have to take the time to chop up a bunch of fresh veggies, top them with my dressing or condiment of choice and throw them into a whole wheat pita. But I must say, the pita pockets you buy at the grocery store don’t hold a candle to the pitas from Pita Pit.
During my lunch date with Laurel we talked all about her wedding planning. Her wedding isn’t until May, but she’s handling wedding planning just like I did – she dove right in, hammering out a lot of the details in the beginning.
In fact, she brought me my bridesmaid dress today!
I am in love with the color. It looks pinkier in the above picture than it is in real life. It’s a gorgeous coral color and paired with strappy gold heels, I think it will be a beautiful dress. Hopefully it looks okay on me!
Laurel is being the most considerate bride and selected our bridesmaid dresses from Macy’s to save a ton of money. It seems like all the designers that make dresses especially for bridesmaids hike the prices way up because they know they are special dresses for a wedding. In reality, you can find gorgeous bridesmaid dresses at normal department stores.
It was great to see Laurel and catch up. I miss her pretty lil’ face!
Orthodontist
After lunch, I had an appointment at my orthodontist’s office to pick up a bottom retainer. I think my old bottom retainer was accidentally disposed of in our hotel room by the housekeeping staff, so I needed a replacement.
Gotta keep those bottom teeth straight just in case I start showing the bottom part of my grill when I smile.
I’ll try to keep them under wraps though because I look like a piranha when I smile with my bottom teeth. (I briefly address my experience with Invisalign in this post, just in case you’re curious.)
Since I didn’t want the entire day to be a waste on the work front, I am now chillin’ in Starbucks, soaking up their free internet and drinking a hot refresh tea to stay warm in this frigid air conditioning.
The refresh tea is my favorite. It’s perfectly minty and delicious.
Hoping to cram in three more hours of work before my meeting!

Mmm. Pita Pit. I had no idea they were so widespread, I first had them up here in Ohio. 🙂 Also beautiful bridesmaid dress; you’ll look lovely!
Ohhh Pita Pit, also a college favorite. I was thrilled when they opened one in Atlanta but I swear it is not as good as my favorite one in Columbus, OH. So SO good for 4th meal or lunch or any time really 🙂
And do wear those bottom retainers, I didn’t and now they don’t fit and I have some very crooked bottom teeth 🙁
I never had Pita Pit until after college, wish we actually had one in the town I went to college in. It would’ve been MUCH better than the crappy gas station food we went crazy for at 2am!
LOVE the bridesmaid dress. I’m currently in love with one-shouldered dresses with rosettes all up the shoulder…gah. So adorable.
LOVE Pita Pit & the only time I’ve ever had it is in college! Must be a staple on college campuses!
ohhh my gosh Pita Pit was TOTALLY my 4th college meal too!!!! So good 🙂
hahahaha!!! I am so glad that I am not the only one who eats pita pit at 2 am…gotta love college
I really need to go to a pita pit!! It sounds super good!
I love Pita Pit! They catered my sister’s high school graduation party!
the 4th meal …. my friday and saturday nights have fond memories of you 🙂
Love the color of that dress! It’s going to look great on u!
I’ve never had pita pit… but I’m a massive fan of pita 🙂
Ohhhhh man, Pita Pit was totally my after-bar JAM in college! I was always so proud of myself for getting the “healthy” option, rather than a huge slice of pizza for my walk home. You know, because the healthy pita was totally going to negate the six vodka-tonics I’d guzzled down throughout the night….
Huh — i thought invisalign worked well for you…??? Did i miss that it didn’t work for your bottom teeth? Or did you only get invisalign done on your top teeth??
Loove Pita Pit. Isn’t it weird that we could all probably make something like that at home, but it tastes so much better when someone else is making it??
Was she able to find the same dress for all her maids at Macys (just in different sizes?) or is she having different dresses for her maids?
