Late last week I decided to take a long weekend, and enjoy some much needed downtime. After a long meeting on Friday afternoon, I returned back to the office packed up my things and headed home around 7:00 p.m. My mind and body were exhausted after last week, and I literally did two things I NEVER do.
#1 Stopped and ate Taco Bell for dinner and #2 Laid on the Couch and Watched TV!! Ha!! It was a relaxing night, something I needed (well, I am not sure I needed the Taco Bell...LOL).
Saturday, my parents came down for a visit. We headed to lunch, then ran by Carolina Pottery to get things for my Fall Wreath. Can't wait to show you soon. Then we ran a few other errands, and mom finally made it to the French Market in downtown. We had a great night together, cooking dinner and just spending time together. I love having them visit, and they left early Sunday morning, so I would have time to get ready before a radio interview and church.
The radio interview went well, and church was awesome as usual. I ran a couple of errands, and then headed home to get caught up on work. It took me 6-hours, but I got all my emails and big projects under control.
Monday was simply the best. Matt was off, and we slept in, I cooked Oven Pancakes (see below), and then we had a relaxing morning. He watched TV, and I spent time in the Word, catching up on blogging, and relaxing. We cooked dinner together, and just had a great day at home. Sometimes its nice just to stay in and relax.
This is exactly what I needed, and I am ready for the busy week ahead.
Have a great Tuesday...........and here is my recipe for Oven Pancakes.
