gym birdie

Wow, I can't believe what two days at the gym would do. I've been eating less and I'm back to my normal morning weight. (Which is still slightly high, but better than before). I have a slight sore throat this morning, but hopefully that will pass. Bring on the Airborne!

Anyway, I had a very productive night last night. After work I went to the gym. When I got home, it was almost 8, and I speedily made two batches of cupcakes: one batch for my landlord and one for my roommates. I'm very grateful to my landlord for being so good to us. Anyway, after that, I started making dinner (it's 9:30 PM at this point). I had two cupcakes but a small dinner, so it all evened out.

Then my roommates and I did gift exchange. I got them chocolate, a snow brush and Groove It. And I got a recipe book for mini-feasts and a hat. We then took turns playing Groove It. Haha, it's a pretty ridiculous game. I'll probably do another sex and the city or coupling party in the dead of winter, so i'll get to try out some recipes, while wearing the hat.

Spreading out the week with different Christmas gift exchanges are fun. But then that makes Christmas day seem a little uneventful. I've decided not to enjoy my gifts until Christmas Day. That way, the day is still sacred to me. When I went to Orleans with Carol and Julie on Monday, I gave Carol the Chronicles of Narnia and a pair of earrings I made. Then I gave Julie a subscription to Domino magazine and the Snow Patrol CD. They got me chocolate truffles (mmmm) and the Arrested Development Season 2. I can't wait to watch it! But I'll wait until December 25th. :}

What a productive night. Of course, I didn't get to work on applications though. I have two more to complete and one other to submit after the recommendations are done. There goes my Christmas holiday.
