weekend wrap
Saturday morning started with a major cleaning of the office. I went into work and was pleasantly surprised that J was coming in to work with me. I might have mentioned it before, but we really work well together. It's like we have this unspoken understanding of how one another works and we just sync.
I met the aunt for lunch and then we were off to Gatlinburg to celebrate mom's b-day. Oh my gosh! We had so much fun. First of all we had to brave the aunt's driving and TRAFFIC! Of course we wouldn't have been stuck in traffic if SOMEONE would have been a better navigator. After we found a parking space we went to this restaurant ( I can't remember the name ) but they make VERY good appetizers and drinks. Then we walked to the CELTIC shop and the restrooms followed quickly by the EARTHBOUND store. It's one of the COOLEST stores. Very zen! They have fountains, jewelry, statues, rocks. It's all natural stuff. Then we walked back to the car which seemed a whole lot farther away, I certainly don't remember walking that far, and we were off to Dollywood. It was pretty cold but nothing compared to last year! The lights are so amazing there. They have 3.5 million lights! We had some hot chocolate and a funnel cake then walked around and hit some rides. I really haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. We stayed until the park closed and then came home. Talk about making a day of it!
Sunday was recovery day. I didn't get out of bed until 1:30. I think I actually slept too long though because I felt headachey and groggy for the rest of the day. I did clean and do laundry and get some Christmas gifts made, so at least I accomplished something right?
