I'm Bored

Workout:  30 minutes on treadmill

You know the other day it was so cold I didn't even want to go in the grocery store.  And I was at the grocery store!!!  I decided once I got there that it was too cold to run in and get the chocolate I was craving.  Yeah, true story.  

I sit at home all day because it is too dang cold to go anywhere.  That, of course, leads to extreme boredom.  And my boredom has lead to this:

Eating on the couch 

This is normally a huge no-no in our house.  But I was bored and needed a change!!  I grabbed that oversized bag of chips and made my little guy's day.  We watched Team Umizoomi and ate our hearts out right there on the couch!

Organizing

 I don't know what it is about cabin fever that makes women clean and organize, but my boredom took me to a whole new level.

I organized the kids' books by size, series, and genre.  Now my kids can't read them because I don't want them messing up the books;).

Baking

When I'm bored and cold I bake.  So, with all the polar vortices (right, vortex plural???) I have probably gained 5 pounds.  I decided it was best to put a stop to all this.  Not the baking; the gaining weight.  So I looked up a recipe my sister told me about from a health blog.

Healthy donuts that I make slightly unhealthy by adding a few chocolate chips....remember, they need to be edible!!  My husband so graciously reminded me, "They aren't grapes.  You can't eat 20 of them and nothing will happen to you".  Yes, thank you dear.  

I have managed to get 1 early morning run in.  I think it was 10 degrees so I jumped at the opportunity to get outside.

It was a very pretty morning and snowing very lightly which made for a peaceful run.  Hope you all are staying sane in this Siberian winter!!
