Good pudding

Just went for my first run this week. I'd had a great schedule worked out, and then got lazy over the weekend. But, now I'm trying to get back into it, but the cold weather makes it less and less desirable. I find I can't run for more than 5 minutes, without my lungs and chest starting to hurt from the cold air. I've now upgraded my running outfit to three shirts, pants and gloves.

Cashed my poetry prize yesterday to discover that Canada post totally rips you off on postal money orders. The 300$ American turned into only 279$ Canadian. I know our dollar is now worth 2 cents more, but the post office is only giving a .93 cent exchange rate. How cheap is that. Oh well, I'm still excited. And, Goblin Fruit has asked me to send them a reading of my poem to put in the spring issue with my poem, which I'm nervous but excited to do.

Ran past my favourite house today and saw that although it has now sold, there is another one two doors down for sale. I really love that street, so hopefully there will still be one for sale by the time we can by.

I've been working at least 4 days a week lately, which is awesome as it means I can finally pay off my line of credit. My favourite is when I get called in for just a morning or an afternoon, because I get to work for just a few hours, and then go home and enjoy the rest of the afternoon, or take a nap. So lovely.

Well, it's Bible study tonight so I am off to make them some good pudding. Yum. Way to reward myself for going for a run...

If you've never had my good pudding, here is the recipe:

Make two packages of instant vanilla pudding
Add one tub of cool whip
Add one box of crushed fudgeo cookies
Stir in one can of mandarin oranges
Garnish with grated chocolate if you wish

It's delicious!
