Do you get bored? What do you do all day? Now that I am working part time (while I look for a job here), I get asked these questions all the time. Well let me tell you something....I am so busy!!! I think that part of it is the move and part of it is I can actually do things that I have wanted to do... For instance, instead of running errands after work and on the weekends, I actually get to workout, hang out with Matt, cook dinner together, and watch TV (shocking, I know!).
My Monday has taken on a new meaning for me. It is the day when I run the majority of my errands/get lost in Knoxville. I can't wait to see what I stumble upon today!
Doo Jr loves that I am home... we play fishy every morning! Fishy=fetch with the fish! (How can I resist these eyes...)
Little weekend recap...
This weekend was different for us because Matt worked on Saturday. We want to go to the beach for July 4th and with our trip to California occurring right after Matt started work, he has negative vacation. Therefore, he bit the bullet and worked on Saturday so he could take July 5th off. Thanks Matt!!! Even with Matt working we had time to enjoy Knoxville.
Thursday night we got to see Kevin James at the Tennessee Theater. Not only was he hilarious, but the theater is GORGEOUS! I loved the entire experience! It was my first comedy show too!
Matt and I have been talking about our honeymoon a lot lately which has made me crave Gazpacho. I pretty much ate gazpacho and seared tuna for lunch everyday at Grand Velas. (I should do a separate post about how fabulous that place is in case any of you are interested!). Needless to say, the Martha Stewart in me became inspired to make it and I did! Thanks to Ina Garten for the recipe (below). It was AMAZING! I highly recommend it and since it is just veggies, it is very low calorie.
(Note- only use 1/2 cup of Vidalia onion and instead of white vinegar, I used white balsamic).
This is what mine looked like...it was pretty chunky!
Saturday, I went to Barre 3 and Matt went to work. I took him lunch and it was so much fun. I swung by Krispy Kreme and picked up maple frosted donuts. These are his fav and apparently you can only get them in Knoxville. That night we went to Mass, saw Matt's favorite priest from growing up, and went to Littons. It is famous for their burgers and desserts...it was so good!! I wish I would have take a picture..
Sunday we ran 6 miles (had to burn off that burger!) and just hung out around the house. I tried out my new IT band strap on our run today and it worked pretty well. When we got home, I was inspired to make biscuits. They were delish except oddly shaped...I greased the pan and shouldn't have...so they spread out real wide...whoops! We had dinner with Matt's family at Surin. It was great to see them and such a treat to have sushi!
