\"\"<\/a>Sunday was an odd day in that nothing really happened the way it was planned out to happen.\u00a0 I was supposed to race Sunday morning but I woke up to pouring rain.\u00a0 It had been raining since Saturday evening and I knew that it wasn’t going to stop anytime soon.\u00a0 The weather was supposed to switch over to snow by early afternoon.<\/p>\n

It was already cold outside and running in the freezing pouring rain isn’t really all that fun.<\/p>\n

I totally bailed and went back to bed.\u00a0 Running in the rain risking freezing and catching a cold was not worth it to me for just a four mile run.\u00a0 Bed was a lot warmer and this decision proved to be the best one.<\/p>\n

I was up again by 9ish and it was still pouring rain outside.\u00a0 You could see that it was starting to switch over a bit to heavier freezing rain.\u00a0 I did some morning yoga in my jammies and that was glorious! I know that there are so many choices but Gentle Hatha Number 1 on yogadownload.com is my favorite.\u00a0 Full of calm, peace, and slow stretching which is what I enjoy with yoga.\u00a0 By 9:30 it was snowing pretty hard.<\/p>\n

Scott and I had a holiday party to attend later that day for our stick fighting school.\u00a0 I was the one who organized and put together the event so it was my call on whether to keep the party on or not. By 11am I pulled the plug and cancelled the party.\u00a0 The weather was horrible and I didn’t want anyone out driving in that.\u00a0 Best to stay home and stay snug!<\/p>\n

We stayed snug with some new pancakes.\u00a0 Maple Bacon Pancakes, to be exact.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Oh.My.Word. I am in love with these little guys! Okay they weren’t so little but they were fab! A little butter on top and extra maple syrup made these babies taste like heaven. Because if there is a heaven, it’s gotta have bacon! (At least my heaven will be full of pig.)<\/p>\n

Some clementines for some fruit action rounded out the meal.<\/p>\n

We ventured out into the cold to walk Rocky who was overjoyed with all the snow that fell. Remember, my not-made-for-winter dog loves the cold and the snow.\u00a0 He gets so hip-hoppity and then runs around the house when he gets back home.<\/p>\n

After we did that, both Scott and I decided we were a little hungry.\u00a0 Time to bust out some leftovers!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We ordered sushi on Saturday evening for a late dinner.\u00a0 We have been missing our sushi Fridays because of other obligations and we felt like there was a hole in our bellies.\u00a0 Normally this wouldn’t even show up on a Homespun Sunday but since I didn’t really have meals planned out because I thought we were going to be at a party, this was easy to bust out.<\/p>\n

I had a avocado roll with cucumber and carrot and brown rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also had bowls of ramen to warm us back up.\u00a0 Yum! Ramen is so tasty and excellent.<\/p>\n

The rest of the afternoon was spent moving Christmas decorations around and getting things into their final place. Vacuuming and such had to be done but I was pleased with the outcome.\u00a0 Now our stockings are hung, a few presents are placed under the tree and all is well in the OHC house.<\/p>\n

Dinner was easy! Since we had two larger meals already in the day, both of us really just wanted something light and to pick at.\u00a0 Cue the snackie plate!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We had lots of yummy treats to pick at while we watched a movie.<\/p>\n
