And awesome baking stuff makes all the difference.
It is so much fun to bake, and great stuff make it that much more fun (read: easier) to bake more often!
Today I really enjoyed baking birthday cupcakes for a co-worker. He turned 19 today! When asked what kind he replied "anything", but jumped at the mention of my infamous pumpkin chocolate chip* variety, and I was more than happy to accommodate.
The best part of baking using the amazing non-skid metal bowls that S got me for christmas at our awesomely cool local baking store!
They are similar to these
It did make me long for my silicone spoonula give to S and I for Christmas last December (?) by a Bailey! It was sacrificed to the cooking gods during the recipie creation for the Pilsberry bake-off (so sad!). But I did use my red silicone spatula give to me the same christmas by G and Mom! Oh- and Bails, I of course used my sifter!
*Infamous Choclate-chip Pumpkin cupcake recipe can be found in Vegan Cupakes Take Over the World Hehe! Love that book!

My husband loves me!
So after my run yesterday I am so unbelievably sore and stiff!
S cooked dinner (fries and mock chicken nuggets with ranch and BBQ sauce) and then we sat on the couch for a while. S then had to go fly tonight with his student so he left and I climbed in bed with the laptop.
S called a few minuets ago to say he wasn't flying and heading home.
He just showed up with ice cream and Bride Wars!
Yeah!

Today- I RAN!
S has been a work out monster forever! And the last few weeks I have been feeling that I too should start working out. Last night our friend Jared expressed that he too had been wanting to jog in the morning so we made a date for this morning at 6am.
As normal we were running a few min late and when we knocked on Jared's door he was didn't answer so we assumed he was still asleep.
So we started our jog in the park near their house. To be honest I wanted to stop running about 10 steps after I started but I kept it up. S was good and didn't go all drill instructor on me- I hate that! When I started whimpering he just told me I was breaking down walls, that made me feel better and I kept on running.
Jared provided comic relief and didn't seem to be hurting as much as me. I made it back to the 1.5 mile mark and never walked a step! After that, I did walk really really slow though!
And I also too a 3 hour nap! But hey- what are days off for?
(They are for cleaning, that's what! But today I have just been taking it easy. I have like 10 days of straight work ahead of me so I think I deserve a little relaxation!).

Jess- this is for you!
AH! Fruit flies have to be the worst bug ever!
I would rather have aunts- they can't fly. Spiders- I can handle it. These stupid fruit flies are never ending!
I have eaten, washed and put everything else in the fridge. I have scrubbed the counters, cabinets, and stove. I have even washed all the kitchen towels. All that's left is tonight I have to mop the floor.
I even set up a trap using a vase, some orange juice, and a piece of saran wrap with little holes poked in it over the top. Last night my trap finally caught a lot of them, but they are HUGE! Which means they were more than big enough to lay eggs, and if I didn't wipe them all down when I cleaned the kitchen, my problems are far from over!
