Nice and Lazy

Last night me and my good friend Grace made some delicious food. I made a pastry appetizer with brie, brown sugar, candied walnuts and a puff pastry shell baked to perfection. We then made my famous rosemary garlic potatoes, some home made pasta (which i had never made before) and some chicken wrapped in pancetta. YUM! Then we watched Zombieland. A medley of wonderfully prepared food and a horror comedy classic.

This Morning we woke up and went for a run to the gym down the road. Another good reason to leave Redding california would be to avoid the jerks who whistle at you when you run outside. Me and Grace were some what flattered and absolutely disgusted...especially when some guy blew kisses at us...gross.

After running and working out for a bit we crawled back home to bask in the sunlight that had been surely missed this winter season. We enjoyed the sun not only because we had missed its heat but also...we were locked out of the apartment. Grace's boyfriend had fled with the keys and we were left stranded. It made for a wonderful reason to soak up some rays.

I guess i should soak up the sun now since i'm moving to alaska soon.

The Winter solstice has passed which means it will start to get brighter for longer in alaska before it gets brighter longer here.

In much of the lower northern hemisphere, the recognition of winter solstice is largely overshadowed by anticipation of Christmas, which follows in only three to five days. But for those who live near or inside the Arctic Circle, solstice day is an important dawning of a new annual era: this is the day the sun starts coming back.
