My Not-So-Restful Weekend

What a weekend! Here’s the lowdown:

Errands:

• Got watch fixed
  
• Got hair cut (hate it, but that’s a separate issue)
  
• Donated a big ol’ stack of old magazines
  
• Bought new cookbook
  
• Went to cheap store to stock up on baking supplies
  
• Went to my usual organic stores for weekly groceries
  
• Went thrifting—bought cute capris for $2.50
  

Miscellaneous Projects:

• Colored my hair (nothing fancy, just covering the gray)
  
• Started altering the $2.50 capris (needed to be taken in at the hips; for $2.50 I don’t mind doing a small alteration)
  
• Tidbit’s Easter photo shoot
  

Baking:

• Banana-walnut bread
  
• Carrot-Apple bread
  
• Carrot cookies (came out dry, although I followed recipe exactly)
  

Other Cooking:

• Black beans with garlic
  
• Brown rice
  
• Wilted spinach with garlic
  
• Curry zucchini
  
• Curry rice
  
• Hard-boiled eggs (not for the Easter Bunny but for my lunches this week)
  

Other Food:

• Saturday lunch (Indian restaurant!) with Dan
  

Workouts:

• 17 mile run (including first-ever encounter with hostile canine)
  
• 90-minute spin
  
• Weights and abs
  

Writing:

• Posted Spring Flash Fiction Carnival
  
• 4,000 words on current WIP, bringing total word count to 31K+
  
• Flash fiction accepted for Word Catalyst Magazine’s May issue
  
• Nice review of my book on The Lulu Book Review site
  
• Five blog posts (including this one)
  
• Numerous comments on other blogs
  

I think that’s it. I’m tired now and I still have to feed the critters and iron some clothes for tomorrow. I swear sometimes I need a vacation from both my job and my weekends!
