In the Event of a Babysitter, Find Your Nearest Waffle House.

Once a month the gym my daughter uses for gymnastics hosts a "Fun Gym". Held on a Friday evening from 7-11pm, it allows kids who are members of the gym to come and run, flip and tumble (with, of course, a break for pizza!). All this for the low price of $15 ($10 if you have a coupon!)


That is such a godsend for a couple of parents who don't have any babysitters on speed dial.


So this past Friday evening, my hubby and I used this opportunity to go to a session of a Creation conference. It was wonderful to be able to sit and give my full attention to the matter at hand. (That all changed when we returned the next morning, child in tow. But she really did remarkably well.) When the evening session was over, we still had a bit of time before it was time to pick up our girl so we did something we haven't done in ages...


We went to Waffle House.


I used to go to Waffle House fairly often when I lived in another town. I remember giving your order and the waitress would go over behind the counter and call out your order to the cook. I loved the hash browns. Scattered, covered smothered...etc. I just loved hearing them say all of that without getting tongue twisted! Hubby likes their grilled chicken sandwich. It was as good as I remembered it!


Sometimes it's fun to shake up the ordinary routine of life and do something off beat.


I'm all about it!

Yum! I used to get the hash browns scattered top when I was at GSU. It was one of those fave drunk foods. I'm lovin' my har! Yes, I meant to say har instead of hair. It feels good to be blonde again. Doesn't feel good on my wallet, but we all need a little scurvy now and then right? :P
