Oh man, I feel like this week has been so long, but at the same time, I feel like January has flown by. Anyone else feel this way?
So what is going on this week? Time for some random thoughts. Thanks Amanda!!
- The snow is melting very quickly as we have been above freezing every day this week (but below freezing at night). Tuesday’s forecast said it was going to rain but I couldn’t tell if it rained or if it was just melting snow on the sidewalk on Wednesday…
- I worked a bit late on Tuesday and when I got home I made this delicious smoothie. It was perfect for a light and quick dinner. I would have put more chocolate chips on but I am currently rationing my chocolate chips until I get to the store this weekend… #firstworldproblems
- I was happy to have a bit of time Tuesday evening to watch a movie on Netflix and do some coloring. These two pages are going to take a while…
- Yesterday morning trains were delayed because one hit a deer. Yeah, I know, totally random right? I was a bit late to work because I couldn’t even fit in the car of the first train that arrived. Luckily the wait was worth it because I got a seat on the second train.
- I’m getting my monthly massage tonight and it’s definitely needed. Though I have been taking a few more rest days than usual due to the snow and such, I definitely got a workout shoveling (my back hurt the next day a bit) and walking through the snow and some at home workouts. I did this core workout after work yesterday and then proceeded to lay on the floor and stretch out.
- I’m thinking of treating myself to dinner after my massage. I usually grab a sandwich from Potbelly’s but I really want to try SweetGreen and they are open late so it may be worth the couple extra blocks of walking. Plus I finished up my prepared food at home last night so there isn’t much food left unless I have a smoothie or something from the freezer.
- I’m counting down the days until vacation…leaving Monday night!!
- I mentioned I finished Big Magic. Well I just got these 2 books the other day. I am loving the Meditations from the Mat book so far.
- If you live near a Wegmans, they are celebrating 100 years and giving out free cake at 11am in every store on Saturday. Too bad I agreed to sub an 11am yoga class….so I will miss it. I will just have to make myself a single serving of cake or something on Saturday.
- speaking of cake, in case you missed it, yesterday was National Chocolate Cake Day. Though again I failed and didn’t celebrate. I ate 4 Girl Scout cookies after dinner instead… #noshame
I hope everyone has a good day. Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!
What books are you reading?

Aw man, they’re building a Wegman’s here in Richmond but it’s not open yet!!! No cake for me, haha.
I’m going to go check out that smoothie bowl! I’m always looking for smoothie ideas!
Alicia says
Yes ever since my boyfriend bought our Blendtec, I have been smoothie crazy ๐ Doesn’t even matter if it’s cold outside. Smoothies just taste so good and are so easy and quick to make
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
I kind of cheated and celebrated National Chocolate Cake day by having chocolate cookies instead. I hear today is National Blueberry Pancake day, though, so I might try to get in on that action ๐ And I’m currently between books waiting for the last one in my trilogy to come out. SOON.
Alicia says
HAHA I was totally thinking chocolate cookies would be better. I am more of a cookie person (I like the texture more I guess) than a cake person. Already planning to make your skillet cookie recipe again for my birthday in April. Love cookie cakes!! I heard it was National Blueberry pancake day too. I might have to celebrate late on the weekend since that is usually my pancake mornings. Plus I need some blueberries…

Hahaha dying at rationing chocolate chips. Basically my life story. Half of that, though, is because if I don’t I’ll eat a whole bag at once. oops. Sorry I’m not sorry…
Alicia says
lol yeah. I love to get the Enjoy Life Mini chips. I feel like I am able to have a bag last longer if the chips are mini. Definitely helps.
Emily says
Ooh free cake? ๐ I would love to, but I don’t have any Wegman’s near me. ๐ That smoothie looks delicious. Where are you going on vacation?
Alicia says
I’m going to Orlando, FL. A couple days in Disney and Universal and hopefully some beach time. Visit my grandma in Daytona Beach as well.
