Baking and books

So a few days ago I officially entered the last month of my twenties and maybe I should be painting the town red while my age still starts with a 2 and maybe I will, but not today. Instead I enjoyed the cold sunshine, clear blue sky and gorgeous snow-capped mountain views. It was one of those lovely days that reminded me how lucky I am to be in Vancouver just walking around and taking it all in. My little incidental exercise adventure took me to one of my favourite stores, Chapters. I definitely didn't need any more books because I am already in the middle of one and have two more on my nightstand to read, but that didn't stop me from purchasing another two, The Great Gatsby and Living Single. The first inspired by the movie adaptation release later this year and I guess the other probably because of my current relationship status and the plot sounded interesting. Sometimes I just buy things I really don't need, but at least my somewhat impulse buying isn't an expensive habit.
The other thing I indulged in today was baking because I had been thinking a little bit about white chocolate chip chocolate cookies the last few days. It is funny how you get something on the brain and it doesn't go away until you have indulged in whatever it is. So I made these cookies using the recipe I found here and they were delicious.
Baking and books are definitely a part of my top ten favourite things and I don't think this will change as my age does. As the days tick down to my thirtieth birthday, which by the way I am spending at Disneyland in Anaheim...whoop whoop, I have no doubt I will think and try to achieve some things before that day dawns. Until then I should at least have some happy co-workers on Monday, as clearly I can't eat all the cookies I baked today.
