Just dance

On Saturday, I introduced Vicki to the amazingness that is Zumba. I like to attend classes at a local Zumba studio. The instructors are awesome, and of the 4 or 5 different places I’ve taken classes at, Dancing Kats definitely has the best music. In class we danced to everything from Lady Gaga to Michael Jackson. After Zumba, we headed to the mall for the Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale.
Vicki and I found a few things we liked 
I picked up this body wash. Funky looking but great smelling.
Vicki also got this adorable top from J Crew for her welcome back party next week.
Post zumba lunch of grilled cheese and minestrone soup
Later in the afternoon (after another trip to the apple store because of another small problem with Vicki’s computer) we started prepping for dinner.
We grilled chicken breasts and portobello mushrooms that had been marinated in balsamic vinegar.
I also started prepping for my favorite butternut squash bisque.
Onions
Carrots and squash
I used the low sodium chicken broth. Next time I think I’ll go back to full sodium. I’m not all that concerned with my salt intake and I ended up adding a ton of salt to flavor it anyway.

Blending the soup
The ingredient that adds the most to the bisque flavor. I only add 1/2 cup to the whole thing.
Portobello, chicken, tomato and cheese sandwich and greens.

After a wonderful weekend, Vicki had to head back on Sunday morning. I didn’t want to see her go because I love spending time with her. She’s one of my closest and oldest friends. It also meant I had to return to reality. Classes start tomorrow. Luckily they are easing us in with a 9:50 lecture as opposed to an 8:40. Unfortunately, I also have an afternoon lab. It’s going to be a long day and I have a ton of stuff in my planner. I’ve enjoyed the past 2 weeks, and I wish they could last a little longer.
One of these things is this week’s dance marathon. Anna and I braved the snow this afternoon to contact more local businesses about donating prizes for our raffle. We had some success, and it was good to get out of the apartment for a while. Armory square was actually really pretty covered in snow:)
