FRIDAY
I watched Midnight In Paris. I liked it. I had heard mixed reviews & I honestly don't love Owen Wilson, so I wasn't expecting to like it, but I totally did. It's hard not to like a movie about Paris. Also, I was really into Rachel McAdams' hair & wardrobe throughout the movie.
SATURDAY
It was super cold & snowy when I woke up on Saturday, so I decided to bake. I ended up making the browned butter cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting again. I quickly realized that it was in no one's best interest to leave me alone in the house all day with 24 cupcakes, so I took my show on the road. My first stop was Jessica's house because she's pregnant & I knew I could unload a lot of cupcakes. We ran to Old Made Good, which I've been wanting to check out FOREVER. I loved that place! Both owners were in there & they were so nice. Jessica got an awesome necklace & I got these cute arrow earrings. J'adore!
Back on the road, cupcakes still in tow, I headed over to Dave & Alexis' house, where I unloaded another good portion of cupcakes. I tried to find more people to deliver cupcakes to, but a lot of people weren't home. Accepting defeat, I headed back home, where I promptly ate another cupcake.
That night, we went to dinner with our friends Mike & Amanda. Mike's birthday is today (happy birthday, Mike!), so it was an early birthday celebration. It was also a great opportunity to unload those last few cupcakes. Success!
SUNDAY
On Sunday, I awoke to a balmy 21 degrees, wind chill of 12 degrees. PERFECT for a long, outdoor run. I put on as many layers as I could comfortably fit into & then headed out to meet my running posse. We met at Bongo Java on Belmont, ran to Bong Java at Five Points, then turned around & ran back. It's a 10 mile loop, although according to RunKeeper, it was actually 10.34. Whatevs, it could have been 100 miles as far as I was concerned because by the time we finished I could feel neither my face nor my legs, except for my feet. Oh, I felt those.
