Cream cheese!
I nabbed this little tub of Philadelphia spinach artichoke cream cheese at the grocery store yesterday. It was a total impulse buy, but one I’m glad I made because it is so flippin’ tasty!
The taste reminds me of spinach artichoke dip and was the perfect addition to my roasted eggplant sandwich.
On the side of my sandwich, I sliced up a green pepper and enjoyed a stick of Sargento Colby jack cheese.
Not too shabby!
Time to work, work, work. I hope this day goes by quickly because I have a hot date with my friend Laurel to attend a hip hop dance class this evening. (I dream of being able to shake mah tailfeather.) This should be interesting!

Ryan and I went to the gym on a Tuesday night a few weeks back thinking we were going to a Body Attack class only to find out we looked at the schedule wrong and were actuall at Body Jam. I thought for sure Ryan would duck and run but we stuck it out and had a blast! I love dancing for exercise! Have fun!

I absolutely love Zumba myself – a chance to shake my butt around and have fun without worrying about difficult choreography!
I love your article on HollabackHealth! I’m curious: what made you decide to start a blog? And now that you’ve been doing it for a while, what are your favorite parts about it?
Allison @ Happy Tales says
I love cardio-dance type classes! The Y I work at has one that I used to attend alllll the time, but now that I work late hours, I can’t make it to the class anymore 🙁
Question for you…I know you’ve probably answered this a bajillion times and it’s probably posted somewhere, but what kind of camera do you use? Is it the one that was broken a little bit ago and you had to get all of the moisture out of? I ask because it takes GREAT pictures… I love the depth in the last picture of your sandwhich. I am wanting to look into a new camera this year I think, esp. now that I’ve started my new blog!

i took a hip hop yoga class in 7th grade and only 5 people came so we got to make up our own dance to “Shoulder Lean” and a bunch of other hip-hop/ghetto rap beats. It was pretty much the highlight of my middle school career.
Meg says

Enjoy your day!
