Is it Wednesday?

So yesterday was my lazy, bump-on-a-log day. All I did yesterday was make breakfast, lunch and shower. Yesterday evening I did have human contact as I went to my parents to have dinner and play with the nephew and niece. I think you need to have a boring day when unemployed to get it out of your system. Have a day you do nothing because there is nothing to do. I truly couldn't drive anywhere (I'm seeing how many days I can keep that "you need gas" light on before filling up) and I didn't have any money for shopping and I had no one to visit. My apartment didn't really need cleaned and I couldn't pack or decorate for Christmas. So...I was a bump on a log..er my couch. Although right now since the wedding has been postponed I could decorate for Christmas...but it's not fun anymore doing it by myself. You have to take it all out, put it all up and in a month I'll have to take it all down and pack it back up. "Ain't no one got time for that!".

So today was 100% more productive then yesterday. Given, I didn't get up until later but I made myself go to the local college and walk the track. My goal was to do one mile walking which on their small track is 10 laps. That was my goal but somewhere between leaving home and lap 4 I was inspired to run. Mostly inspired by my fiance whose become quite the runner lately (6.5miles in one shot..really??) Anyway, by the time I left the college it was 2 miles later and 7 laps of that was running. I'm going to pay for it tomorrow when I go to pee and my thighs burn like fire. I credit my jumping jacks addiction for the increased endurance I've received. 200 jumping jacks a night - get on it! Also, dinner tonight is highly caloric so it's good that I ran some.

BBQ chicken (in the crock pot), fried potatoes (in the cast iron) and homemade bread (in my antique Glasbake dishes). Ok, the BBQ chicken is in a BBQ/honey mustard/brown sugar sauce. It smells like Chick-fil-a and my stomach has been growling for an hour. The fried potatoes are some potatoes that I froze a few weeks ago. I really pray I froze them correctly (cut,boil,blanch,drain,freeze) because I need the practice for when I'm married to 1. save money 2. make potatoes last longer 3. keep from peeling potatoes everytime he wants them fried up. He's a real meat and potatoes - southern food lover of a man.

Speaking of saving money I'm making homemade bread using this recipe. It sounded so easy and makes  two loaves. So I will eat some tonight and tomorrow for toast but I will freeze the rest. Do you have any idea how much bread I waste because I simply don't eat it all? Yeah it's ridiculous. Yes it's only $1 a loaf but still.

So there is my day and my evening. I think I'll put on White Christmas while I make dinner. "Snooooow!"
