we went for our first weekday morning run this morning, after snoozing half a dozen times. time to get back in the saddle with just 13 weeks before the asics marathon on march 15th (and the last two weeks don't even "count" as you're tapering). we took it at a comfortable pace and i finally checked out the skate park at the piers! super cool - can't wait to go watch thinley and pema do those 10' drops!
work was sheer madness as almost every single index rebalance announced changes late friday night. the day went by in a blurrrrrr. i find myself so tired these days after work, probably because i don't get a break at work anymore. looking forward to hiring an analyst in jan!
quick dinner at chipotle where we got a free order of tortilla and guac, and i found myself back on the chaise with a cup of peppermint tea watching gilmore girls, with my tech geek hubby busy fiddling with the server, and commenting on my show which i think he's started to enjoy :)
before the night was over, we baked a big batch of granola, this time, putting the sour cherries in only for the last 15 minutes of baking. they're chewier this way!
kevin arrived back at the apt late on wednesday night and the first things he does is bust out all the gifts he brought back! :) he's usually pretty calm and collected, so it's sweet to watch him get excited to show me all the cool stuff he's picked up.
this time, he brought back a HUGE box of pineapple cakes and chestnut biscuits from wu pao chun, the bakery at the songshan culture park which won the 2010 masters de la boulangerie in the european style breads category; a brown cotten canvas bag from guang fu hao, the taiwanese brand that his uncle introduced to us last year; and two baby rimowas!!! haha ... our first rimowas, courtesy of eva air :)
best: walking on the trading floor in a super happy high mood and cracking jokes all day long without much effort. i think it's because kevin's back :)
worst: 37F + rainy. it's getting to that time of year again when it's cold, wet and miserable out. noooo ... i won't be able to wear my birkenstocks soon.
smile: baked the first batch of granola in the new oven! they will supplement our 4 dozen greek yogurts nicely.
