Hi there!
The weather forecast said there would be a 100% chance of snow last night, and it was 100% wrong. It’s not like we needed another snow day though, so I’m strangely a-okay with going to school today. I also just don’t want the roads to get all clogged up again. I may or may not have driven {slowly} into mini glaciers three times in the past week.
0 inches.
Anyway, I hope you all had a lovely weekend, whatever the weather! Mine was pretty darn marvelous. And it’s not just because Joseph Gordon Levitt and Emma Watson were on stage together at the Oscars last night. Or because Ellen was the hostess!

Friday
I was pretty much a veg at home after school on Friday besides trying out a bunch of these awesome (and not-so-awesome) pushup variations. In the evening, I did some “MC Hammering” (in the words of Arman) at my school’s talent show. Noooo, I didn’t shuffle across the stage in flashy, super-low-crotch pants. I was a co-emcee with three other students, and we basically introduced people and told corny jokes. It was a fun time!
My favorite corny joke: What did the baby corn say to the mama corn?
…Where’s POPcorn?!
You’re smiling. It’s ok.
Throughout the evening, I was fueled by a smoothie that I had for dinner. I was inspired by Amanda’s breakfast for dinner, so I tried out her oatmeal cookie dough smoothie with spinach/kale for some extra veggie power!
I had to use a spatula to get every bit of goodness out of the blender 😉
And since I eat Greek yogurt with everything and I was craving that creamy tanginess…
Spoon➔ dip in Greek yogurt➔ dip in smoothie➔ put in mouth➔ repeat.
I highly recommend this smoothie! So thick and satisfying.
Oh, and here’s more proof of my love for Greek yogurt:
Plop. (No calculators were harmed during this snack time.)
Saturday
Another long day at dance from 11 AM-4 PM, and then Mass afterwards. We did have a Groupon for our favorite Japanense restaurant though. 😀 Our reason for celebration was an early Mardi Gras and a farewell to my mom who is leaving for Florida soon. Let’s face it though— we would have gone even if it weren’t for those reasons.
This was green tea gelato. Can you hear the angels singing?
Sunday
Sunday started off earlier than usual with a Sunday school staff meeting at 8:30 AM.
I couldn’t roll out of bed at the last minute though because I had to get dolled up for the dance company photo shoot! We each get a headshot, and then there are a bunch of group photos taken. I’m also vice president of company, and officers (president, VP, etc.) get additional photos with each other and by themselves in different dance poses.

Some people may think that dancers are extremely cautious of their diets, but this company likes to EAT. It’s not always “real food” either. Like these Popcorners that I could not stop eating:
Put one in your mouth and never turn back.
For our weekly brunches we also usually have foods such as bagels, pretzel crisps, cereal, fruit, muffins, and granola bars. Dancers need ’em carbs for four hours of dance!
That pretty much sums up my weekend: corny jokes, corny chips, and green stuff. 🙂
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
So tell me:
Do you like having breakfast for dinner?
What is your favorite kind of chip?
Three things you did this weekend!
