Playing Hooky

I have been really unproductive in terms of school work.  I have the whole week off, and my dear husband reminded me today of all the work I was saying I would get done.  After sitting in front of my computer for an hour doing nothing I decided to take the day off and not even try to do schoolwork.  I'll save that for tomorrow. I ended up having a great day and getting some other things done.

I tried Angela's baguette recipe.  AMAZING!  It turned out so good.  I have joined the 'never buy store bought baguette' club.  Here are my pictures:


Fresh oven baked bread is my weakness.  I cut a slice and spread on some spinach cream cheese and five minutes later: 


I also went on a great walk with Beatrix.  There's a trail really close to our house that used to be a railroad line.  It was so refreshing to be alone in the woods walking next to the river.  I loved it.

Tonight I made Herb Roasted Chicken from Pioneer woman.  Its so easy and so delicious!


Even though I love living here, we haven't made that many friends yet.  So Justin and I have been spending a lot of time together.  Its been so good.  The other night we went and saw 'The Vow' at our local theatre.  I loved it and cried-it was similar to 'The Notebook' in that way.  Its funny because there were a bunch of other women there too, and during the emotional parts I heard someone openly sobbing behind me.  -signs of a good movie.

Justin and I have been working out together too.  Its been great because when one of us isn't motivated the other one will make sure we do our workout.  shhh don't tell anyone, but I've been getting him to do Pilates dvds with me. ;)  They are really tough, but we've done them about 5 times already this week!

Well, its getting late and I should go to bed.  Good night ladies!

    Ha OK Amber, you're turn to make some baguettes! Candice, I seriously admired your honesty sharing that bread pic - I am so the same way. I think if I eat a bunch of tiny pieces it doesn't count, right? ha but it is so true it is soooooo good right out of the oven!

    AND how do you get your husband to do work out videos with you? Every time Jeremy says he will, he just ends up acting like a goofball and I start l aughing and I can't work out anymore and then I make him leave. Except, I think maybe he might really be trying and is just making it seem goofy so I won't make him do it. ANYWAY that is so cool that you guys can work out together like that! I loved it at our apartment when Jeremy and I used to go to the gym together when Shea could sleep in his carseat.

    Your chicken looks amazing! I love that all you girls are making baguettes. Mine are all gone so I am either making more today or tomorrow. I haven't decided yet. :)
