Back to the grind tomorrow

Today was spent running errands and such. I drove Andrew to work so I could drive his car as opposed to my death trap on wheels. I take public transportation to work to avoid paying the astronomical parking downtown, and as a result I don’t give my car the TLC it deserves. I think I’m due for some brakes!

I started the day out by procuring some new runners, as I needed to use my 30% off coupon at the Running Room before Jan 31st. I went with old faithful: Asics GT 2150. The are getting more and more hideous looking, but they fit me perfectly. I’ll just have to tolerate their moonshoes-like appearance.

Next I headed off to the gym to give my shoes a test drive on the treadmill. They worked great. I ran for 65 mins before throwing in the towel.

Andrew and I had hoped to see Avatar in 3D, but once again today it was sold out.

I arrived home and made the motherload of oatmeal. It was sooo good. I hit up the Bulk Barn yesterday to replenish my “topping” stash. On today’s bowl: craisins, raisins, pumpkin seeds, milk chocolate chips, buttered peanuts and chia seeds. SOOO good.

After the oatmeal deliciousness, I cranked Grooveshark and cleaned like a crazy lady. Cleaned all 3 bathrooms, vacuumed, polished the hardwood, and dusted.

Took a long hot bath reading Wally Lamb’s new book.

I made a random dinner. We need groceries, but I didn’t feel like going to the store so I made due with what we had in stock. I made a chicken/broccoli casserole, roasted fingerling potatoes, mixed veggies and a slice of WW bread.  Random, but tasty!

Back to work tomorrow. I’m not really thrilled about this AT ALL. Hopefully it will be a quiet day.

Night!

It looks as though you may have put cinnamon in your oatmeal. Do you put sugar in it? My dad is trying to adjust to the life of a diabetic and he loves oatmeal, so he loves new ideas on how to liven it up without all the sugar and butter he used to put in it.

65 minutes of running totally awesome. Yum your oatmeal sounds totally good.

That does look tasty! I am all about random meals lately. This morning's breakfast was sauteed spinach with a few cubes of ham, and a spelt cracker with pb on it!

LOL at the moonshoes. Ya, you have to get over the whole "ick ugly!" shoe thing if you're going to be a runner, don't you?

I read that Wally Lamb. I got it for Christmas in hard cover last year. It's extremely intense and really, really, a hundred times really good.
