Got around to the gym today for the first time in a couple weeks which was nice. I'm really going to try to make the effort to go at least every other day up until exams cos I know if I don't I'm just gonna feel... icky. And it's not like I don't have an hour or two to spare... it'd be a nice break too. Although, I think there's something inherently wrong with my Nike's cos I keep getting these horrible blisters on my foot when I run for a couple miles, even after bandaging it up. Hmmm... it's a shame cos they were pretty expensive and... they're Nike's! That shouldn't happen with Nike's... urrrr...
After catching the second half of the Rugby World Cup final this morning (that Jonny Wilkinson is sooooo... mhmmm...) and then church, Kirsty and I went out to town for an hour to grab some Starbucks, run a few errands and visit the lab cos a couple of our friends/workmates were stuck working the weekend! At some point during the conversation I think I promised to bake them all a bunch of my famous brownies the DAY AFTER Kirsty and I get back from our trip to the UK. Nonnegotiable cos that day is both a birthday and wedding anniversary of the aforementioned workmates. Baking through jet lag -- should be interesting. Probably not as yummy cos I won't be channeling in as much of that home baking love(!) but we'll see.
Which leads me to my final and most important revelation of the day: Spotlight ROCKS. Kirsty had to go there for some reason and I was perusing random aisles when I came across all these AWESOME "crafty" things like scrapbook, frames, boxes, chocolate moulds! Not to mention, incredibly cheap gift boxes, ribbons, wraps and the like. AND, wait for it, NOODLE BOXES!!!
Paper AND plastic; plain AND patterned. Perfect for when I give people home-baked goods! Man, I'm so excited for Christmas so I can start baking like WOAH. And my big goal for the summer is to find and MASTER the perfect apple pie recipe! :))
