Snowday in the District!

Hey Hey!

It's a BLIZZARD in the District! We already have about s 10 inches now, and are expected to get another 10 more! This would be nuthin' back home in NH, but there are literally NO plow companies here! It's up to the city so residental streets in the DC/MD/Northern VA area are expected to be snowed in for days!


Despite the lack of travel opportunities today, I've been enjoying the snow day! I woke up bright eyed at 12:15pm (Aaaaah, love Saturdays). Made myself a Power Smoothie:

(I SWEAR it's delish!)

....And parked it on the couch for some DVR'd reality TV and a couple episodes of 90210 :-)

Unfortunately as a nurse, Kels (sista) didn't have a snow-day. All buses are stopped and the roads aren't plowed, so she layered up and trecked her way to the hospital.

Kels in my Under Armour Cold Gear spandex (AMAZING line if you're a winter runner):

And leaving the apt:

Nuts!



I made a delish/healthy dinner so figured I'd share :-) I was craving seafood!



Sauteed 2 chopped garlic cloves (in 1.5 Tbsp EVOO), then added fresh scallops + dash of salt and pepper.

To accompany the seafood, I roasted an Acorn Squash in the oven until crispy. AMAZING!!!



Boiled whole squash for 15 mins (to make cutting easier). Then cut, sprayed with EVOO spray and added a dash of salt + pepper. Prior to serving, I drizzed a teeeensy bit of organic maple syrup over it. Fan-freakin-tastic.

Well, off to get a quick workout in (get my a$$ kicked by Jillian). Then trecking a few blocks to Shehla's for a movie night!

Have a great night!

*Random ques: What are your favorite activities to do while snowed/rained in????
