Five Things - 2nd Edition

This week's Five Things come to you from a week of pre-vacation prep, time in Nashville, and excellent friends.

1. Have a fancy dinner. folks. This week I spent some time in my old home town of Nashville for some work meetings. Our team dined out at Sinema, and enjoyed good laughs. If you're ever in Nashville, try it out. 

2. Back in Knoxville, we attended WDVX's Blue Plate Special to see friends featured (Mayday Malone Band). It was a great time, and honestly a cool vibe to be in a live audience scenario.  

3. When you and a friend decide to get a meaningful tattoo together, I say go for it. Every time. Particularly when you're in Nashville on a Friday after work. I have two with two of my closest friends (her and her), and both came from this place. They're fantastic people, running a tight ship and producing some gorgeous art.  

4. Monday I hop on a plane to head off on a ten day vacation in the PNW. I've never actually taken this long of a vacation from work, and while my husband will be most likely wrenching my phone from my hand to prevent me from checking email, I do actually intend on contributing to our relaxation time as much as possible. Wish me luck! 

5. Finally, let's wrap up this week with a nice beer and cheers our way through to vacation. I'll be having a Downtown Blonde Ale at the Grill and Brewery if you need me.
