Instead I spent my morning inside baking bread! The one good thing to come out of my broken water heater was the re-discovery of my bread maker. The water heater is behind the shelves in a closet in my kitchen (weird) so in order to get to it I had to take everything out, and that led to me saying, "Hey, I forgot I had a bread maker!" My older sister gave it to me when she moved, and I kind of love it a lot.
For the cost of some yeast and a bag of whole wheat flour, I've already made all kinds of things. There is whole wheat pizza dough in my freezer for future nights when I don't feel like cooking, and a loaf of bread in the oven right now. Rock on! I dig it especially cause I can make perfectly healthy things and none of it contains weird preservatives or anything. I hate reading labels of food I buy in the store that list things I can't read. This way is much more preferable: water, olive oil, salt, yeast, flour, etc. Plus, it's pretty darn good if I don't say so myself.
So yeah, I didn't go running. I'll probably do the elliptical in awhile, but that doesn't involve playing with fun things like a new Nike+. Conveniently, I have the bread maker to amuse me.
Edited to add: I almost forgot that baking bread gives me a chance to use my super spectacular pot holder... that's right, it's a fish.
My mom made it for me for Christmas. It's kind of my most favorite thing ever, basically.

Wow, that is pretty much the best pot holder ever! It's fish-tacular! I just watched Titanic, and it depressed me. I dislike looking a frozen corpses or any corpses for that matter. Also, I've just realized that I hate the word "corpse."
