Riot and Frolic

– cinnamon roll with maple-bacon icing at the New Louisiana Cafe.  No joke.  Go get one.

My father-in-law (from Illinois) loves this place and really, everyone should.  They have delicious coffee from local Morningstar Coffee, crab cake benedict, and hello, cinnamon rolls with maple-bacon icing.  Go.  

– a Guiness milkshake.  At TGIFriday's, of all places.  "Cutting edge" and "nationwide chain sports bars" are not two things I usually put together, but this was GENIUS.  

– "genius" is very hard to spell after typing "Guinness".

– practicing so much that my body is constantly sore.  Just.  All.  The.  Time.  

– yoga.  Every morning! 

– my running schedule for the next year.  There's a couple fun runs, maybe a half marathon, and either the TC marathon (again), or the ye olde Chicago one.  

– my friend America and I thought up this brilliant run club.  It's for people who don't quite like running.  Or don't run, but will fake it with us.   Or will tolerate it to hang out with friends and get some caffeine.  The Coffee Run Club is for ladies only (sorry, dudes).  We'll run, and then… have coffee.  Our Facebook page has the running schedule.

– started meal planning again and while it is GREAT for my budget, it is not great for snacking.  I am currently making brownies to satisfy my sweet tooth since there is NOTHING pre-manufactured in the house.  The G just joked, "I'll probably come home to you frying up tortillas for chips," and I kid you not, I had just thought of it.  And thought it was totally worth it. 

– realizing my week has very much revolved around food.

Meh.  What are you up to?  Keeping the cold at bay?
