Burnt Macaroons

Its been a pretty good week so far. Mostly because the snow finially came! Everyday the weather would say that it was supposed to snow and nothing would come. Then yesterday morning I woke up and looked out the window and there it was. Beautiful white powder covering everything. I was so excited I may have yelled "It's snowing" and did a little dance. Greg immeditly told me I was way to excited. What can I say, I just love the snow! It really makes it feel more like Christmas.

The night before Greg had promised to go to the gym with me. Working out has really become something I love and with all my free time I can finally really focus on it. So I asked a friend of mine if he could set me up with a plan. I want to start lifting weights and incoperate other things other then just running. I figured it gives me a goal and something to work towards.

Greg being the nice boyfriend he is said he would go with me and go over my workouts and show me how to properly do everything.  The gym was dead when we got there which was perfect. We didn't have to worry about rushing.

Greg and I really enjoy working out together. We always have fun and it's a great way to take your mind off what your doing. I just wish we could go together more often. Although I don't think he liked the picture taking part. I told him people like to see pictures and what fun is a story without something to look at! So he gave me this face when I told him to smile for the blog : )

After our workout stopped and picked up some groceries and then it was home for lunch. We fallowed that up with a few episodes of Dexter. Around 6pm I jumped in the shower and got ready. We had plans to meet up with some guys from the team for drinks. We started at the Christmas market where Greg of course had a steak sandwhich and then walked to a near by Irish pub. 

I enjoyed my black apple while playing the finger game. It was a silly game but very entertaining. I lost the first few times we played but once I got the hang of it I was good to go. We had a fun little night out and headed home before midnight. Our taxi driver ended up being a guy Greg and I saw earlier that morning at the gym. We thought that was pretty ironic. 

When we got home I needed a little something sweet so I enjoyed one of my burnt macaroons I made the night before. Next time I will pay more attention when making these tasty balls of coconut. Apparently they burn easy. Thankfully it made no difference and they were still delicious!

The rest of our evening will be spent bumming around and starting the second season of Dexter. Every time we watch the show I laugh because the creators get you to like Dexter even though he is a serial killer. Sounds kind of crazy when you think about it! Don't you agree?
