Got Milk?

In typical weekend fashion, I got done about half of what was on my To-Do List, but I suppose I should give myself a break and admit that part of my love for weekends is being able to lounge and read a book or watch something meaningless on tv. Saturday was very exercise related. I took Riley (the dog) for a run - we ran for about 15 minutes and walked for 10 (5 at the beginning and 5 at the end) and when I measured my distance after I was done I ended up running about 2 miles (and walking another 1/2 mile or so). Not bad for my first time in too long. To continue with the exercise theme, I also went for a nice long hike with my friend Amanda - about a 3 mile hike in the "mountains" - not really the mountains, but I'm not sure how else to describe it. The hike was gorgeous and the company was pretty great too. The weather was gorgeous - in the 60s with a bit of cloud cover and no wind! Riley had a great time playing in the lakes and the mud puddles and he was exhausted when we got home. Score one for tiring out the dog!

Yesterday was a day for household stuff. I did laundry and worked in the yard. I still have more flower beds to clean out, but they're getting there. The highlight of the day was making oreo cookies.

The recipe is fabulous and quite simple to make, although I made a huge mess while I was doing it - which is pretty normal in my cooking en devours.

I'm still knitting the sleeves on the never ending sweater, and I had to call the yarn store and see if she could put a couple of balls of the Rialto back for me because I'm going to run out before finish. Lovely. At least the LYS still had a few balls in the same dyelot. I ordered the harmony needles from Knit Picks, and they should be here this week. I'm not sure I'll be able to resist casting on once they arrive, but who knows. Maybe I'll surprise myself. Or maybe not. Whatever.

Have a happy Monday.

Those cookies look positively EVIL! Delicious, but evil. Great photos, though!

So glad you had a link to this recipe. I think I will give it a try! I made some recently with a cake mix and 1 1/2 cups of "shortening." They were excellent and probably had at least 1000 calories each! So glad to see your blog again!!!
