Soooo, I went to bed way too early last night (totally pooped from a looong week), which of course means that I woke up a bit earlier than usual today. What to do at this early hour on a Saturday morning? Grocery shopping? Heck no, would have to do something with this wild bird's nest that is my hair. Do some chores around the house? Double HeCk no, I've been a slave to chores all week at work. Hmmmm...... so how about flipping on the TV for some background noise while I mill around trying to wake up? Bingo.
While I didn't recognize the characters' voices at first, the sounds drifting back from the living room brought an old familiar feeling to mind right away. It was like in a movie, where the screen becomes misty and all of a sudden the protagonist is magically transported back in time. The smell of pancakes filled the air, and if I didn't know better, I would swear that I could feel the texture of my old footie pajamas on my feet (even how the left foot side always caught on my pinky toe darn it). And in that moment, I wished I had a couple of friends over, all piled on blankets in the middle of the living room, crazy tired from staying up too late the night before, but too entraced with our favorite cartoons to ever consider going back to sleep.

Anyone wanna come over for pancakes? I make a mean Micky Mouse panckake, and depending on how luxurious we're feeling, we can even put chocolate chips in the batter. Okay guys, don't put it past me to host a pancake breakfast sometime soon. This kind of fun is WAY too cool to not carry over into adulthood.... at least every once in awhile ;-)
What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon/show as a kid? Care to share any of your own favorite Saturday morning memories??
