ONE WEEK TILL CHRISTMAS!!!! <—–In less than 2 hours anyway- I’m jumping the gun a little bit!
I had a last minute panic order yesterday night on Amazon, as it was the last day for (free) delivery before Christmas! I literally got my order in about half an hour before it was too late! What can I say, I’m so organised!
The order included:
‘Salt’ DVD for my dad, as he really wanted to see it at the cinema, but never got round to it…![]()
…‘Eat Pray Love’ for my momma, because I know she’ll love it…![]()
…and the Operation Beautiful book for my best friend, because everyone needs to read this book!![]()
I’ve never seen Salt, but don’t particularly want to either, as I’m am not an Angelina Jolie fan in any way! Don’t get me started on her!
But I’ve read Eat, Pray, Love and Operation Beautiful and loved them both. What about you? Have you read/seen these?
After the mad late-night panic, I needed a good, relaxing breakfast! Enter: apple and cinnamon stovetop oatmeal!![]()
Deeelicious, and so perfect for this weather! Talking of the weather, it snowed again heavily today! So no run! Boo
It’s also sposed to snow even heavier tomorrow, so I’m going to my gym in the morning! Going to a 9am BodyPump class, then hitting the treadmill hopefully!
The snow had only just melted from before! This was our town just 10 days ago:![]()
I’m also looking forward to tomorrow night, as I’m going out for a Christmas meal with friends. As we had to order our food beforehand, and there was nothing vegan on the menu, I called up the restaurant about it, and they said they would sort it out. So I wonder what I’ll get…! I also haven’t gotten all dressed up in so long (my life is spent mainly in hoodies, sweats and running clothes!
), so I can’t wait!!! ![]()
So what are your plans for the weekend? And what presents have you got for your loved ones?
Now please excuse me while I go and munch on some of this…![]()
and all of one (or two!) of these:![]()
Have a great weekend! ![]()

Heheh, I’m glad you got your shopping done! Even if it was late, at least it happened!! Enjoy your cupcakes
Yeah, true!
Thanks, I did! I may or may not have had three…!
Eat Pray Love is one of my favorite books!! Don’t worry, I spend half my time in running or yoga pants & sweatshirts too…sometimes I throw a headband in my hair to “look nice.”
Yeah, it’s great isn’t it!
Haha that’s what I do! Good to know I’m not the only one!
Just wanted to stop by and say hi to a super-sweet friend!
Your comments on my blog always make me smile. Oh, and your oats and vanilla cupcakes look fantastic!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by, super-sweet Katie!
Aww thanks!
Hello! New reader here
I’v just finished reading Eat Pray love, and I LOVED it, and agree its the perfect present. I haven’t read Caitlin’s book, but might try getting my hands on a copy in the new year. And as for Salt, I’m sorry to say, but I’m a huge Angelina Jolie fan, however I haven’t seen this film. Who knows, maybe I’ll get it for Christmas
Hi, nice to hear from you!
It is great isn’t it! I’m sure my mum’ll love it! And definitely get the OB book!!
Great gift ideas:) LOVED Operation beautiful. That will be such a fun dinner tomorrow night, I am excited for you. Now I am craving chocolate ha!
I am so happy you are getting a garmen. You will love it!
Thanks! OB is awesome, and it’ll make a great gift!
YES can’t wait!! Only six days now till I get it!
ahhhhhh amazon wont deliver before christmas now!? GAH IM SO SCREWED
Yeah, they won’t I’m afraid! So I guess it’s all about hitting the shops for you!
Hope your amazon deliveries get through ok. Hope you enjoyed your meal out too
Thanks
I’m still trying to figure out what to get my dad!! He’s not a big movie person and I’m terrible at picking out books for him. This is what I get for waiting until the last minute!
Haha last minute panicking I am all too familiar with! Hope you come up with something good for him! I’m sure he’ll love whatever you get him
Just found your blog through The Hungry Runner girl
I saw Salt but I’m not too into the whole action film thing and got kind of confused. I’ve been wanting to read or see Eat Pray Love. I’m a runner too and am always looking for new healthy recipes. Can’t wait to get to know you better through your blog
Well hi there!

Haha well I often get confused in movies, because I’m such a dreamer and tend to just drift off and think of other things, and miss crucial parts!
I definitely recommend Eat Pray Love! Although I didn’t get to see the film, but I will do as soon as it comes out on DVD!
Thanks!
