First Day Back

I used to think that the first day back to school was tough. Then I started working. I think the hardest thing to do is go back to work after having a relaxing vacation.

That's what I had to do today. Last week was fabulous!! Matt and I spent the entire week running around Knoxville and relaxing around the house. Soooo relaxing!

Today however, I had to crawl...ok, Matt basically had to push me...out of our cozy, warm bed at 6:30AM. The past week I've been leisurely waking up, watching the 8 o'clock hour of the Today Show and getting out of bed shortly after.

THEN...I had to be mentally aware of what I was doing at 7:30. Another miracle. :)

However, by the end of the day it felt good to be back and I've got to admit that I love my job....until I have to get up 6:30am and repeat the cycle :)

Goodnight!

Pancake Pantry

Our vacationing adventures took us to the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg which is one of my favorite restaurants...just leave the calorie counter at the door. :)

The Pancake Pantry is a vacation tradition for Matt and me. We got up around 7 this morning and headed to g-burg. On a weekday the traffic is not bad at all and there was no wait whatsoever! However, even if there was a wait...it's well worth it!

I ordered my traditional...banana pineapple triumph...which Matt introduced me to a few years ago. It's basically a little slice of heaven on a plate with whip cream on top. :)

Matt opted for the wild-berry crapes...


It's probably not the healthiest breakfast in the world...but I would definitely argue that it's the tastiest!

Vacation!

Sooo excited!! Matt and I are on vacation this week!!

Instead of going somewhere, spending money and coming home exhausted we've decided to stay home...a "stay-cation" if you will. We did this last year and it was the best week ever! This year we're going to do some small things around the house each day and spend some time running around Knoxville and exploring the city. Our list of non house related to-do's this week so far includes...

1. Pancake Pantry...a vacation staple even if it is in Gatlinburg
2. VG's Bakery...two words...cinnamon roll
3. Farmer's Market
4. mid-day Movie
5. dog-park
6. Workout daily

It's going to be a great week!
