“I feel it in my fingers…I feel it in my….toes. Christmas is all around us…”

Love that song :mrgreen:

This morning after a shower I went out walking – with my novel! I wanted to read, but I also wanted to enjoy our first sunshine in a number of days, so I combined the two. There’s really no secret to reading and walking – just use your peripheral vision :cool: I walked for about an hour and came home to quick re-heat lunch.

Jalapeno Cheddar Bread from Great Harvest. My gosh this stuff is amazing. Look at the layers of cheese!

And leftover Throw-In-A-Pot Vegetarian Chili topped with some more chez -

My two slices heated in the broiler -

I was still a bit hungry and went back for some fresh grapefruit

I spent the afternoon finishing Love Actually. This was my second time watching it and I think I liked it even better this time around.

I’m not sure when the husband is expected home, but if he comes home soon I might skip CardioFunk tonight. I’m supposed to leave in about 30 minutes, and I’m not really feeling up to getting all gross and sweaty. I might just stay home, but I’ll have to see how I feel when it’s time to make the decision (and if he’s home or not.)

Still haven’t wrapped those presents. Guess it’s time to get on that.

“Love Actually” has become one of my holiday favorites!

I haven’t wrapped any presents either- I hate it. My first few are all creative and nice and then after that its wrapping papers. No ribbons, no nothing.

That bread does look fabulous :) I need to get me some butterscotch pieces. I take so many ideas from your oatmeal recipes. You should get them patented or something :) Haha, have a great night!

Love Actually is SUCH a great movie. I love the scene where Colin Firth proposes. The way they mess up each others’ languages is adorable. “Just in cases…”

That bread does look amazing! I love the walking and reading. That takes skill (whether you realize it or not..). :)

I just don’t know if I’m coordinated enough for the walking/reading thing. I think it needs to be tried one of these days though. Although I think I’ll wait until it’s NOT blizzarding outside. So maybe summertime haha.
I’ve also never seen Love Actually. I feel like that’s one of those movies that EVERYONE has seen. And I feel like I’m missing out. Rental time perhaps?

I used to walk and read all the time. It looked affected and odd on an eight-year-old, but now I bet I could pull it off, as I’m sure you do.

Today I made oats with soy eggnog and fat-free yogurt and they FINALLY looked as tasty as the kind you make. I was so proud.

Love Actually is one of my favorite movies, even when it’s not Christmas season.
