The Weekend That Wasn’t

Why is it that every time you have a lot of things planned on your ‘to-do’ list for the weekend it just doesn’t turn out?

(wow that was a winded sentence)

My #1 goal for this past weekend was to bake my little heart out and get 90% of my Christmas gift baking done and out of the way.

FAIL.

I got 3 recipes baked and one was even a mega fail because the oven temp/time listed on the recipe was wrong and one side of my banana chocolate chip biscotti got a little burnt.  😦 So sad.

By the time we finished with our grocery shopping and visiting with both sets of parents, I just didn’t have anything left in me to bake up a storm.

At least I managed to get out for what might be my last outdoor run of 2010 Saturday.  It was about 3-5 degrees C outside with no wind, rain or snow. I couldn’t not go for a run.

How’s this for an outfit? 😉

I was sporting some pretty snazzy turquoise mittens as well. Believe it or not, after running 3.12KM in 19 minutes, I was pretty hot!

Now my mission for the week = bake, bake, and bake some more!
