One nice thing about working from home is that I no longer have to rely solely on a microwave for heating up my meals.
Hooray for a quesadilla made on the griddle!
Don’t get me wrong. Microwave quesadillas are very tasty, but using a griddle to make my ‘dilla added a little crunch to the outside of the tortilla. Love that!
My quesadilla contained shredded cheese, cauliflower, broccoli, black beans and salsa.
Afternoon Massage
Thank goodness for Google Calendars because I would’ve totally missed a massage I had scheduled at noon today if it wasn’t for an email reminder!
I was halfway through my quesadilla when the notification popped up!
A little over a year ago, for my 25th birthday, my sister gave me a gift certificate for a massage at Bodyscape Massage Therapy in Orlando. For some reason I kept putting off going because I wanted to use it after a big event. I initially wanted to use it after my half marathon, then after our wedding, etc. Well, now that we’re moving out of Orlando, I had to use it and booked an appointment last week.
Talk about an awesome mid-day surprise!
I headed over to Bodyscape and enjoyed a seriously intense deep tissue massage. I don’t think I’ve ever had a masseuse use as much pressure as the woman today did. It was awesome, slightly painful (in a good way) and worked out a bunch of knots and kinks.
I feel like a new, slightly sore woman!
Fro Yo Addict
Guys, I have a problem.
I seriously cannot drive past a fro yo place without stopping.
My afternoon cup of sweetness included cookies ‘n’ cream frozen yogurt, raspberries, strawberries, chocolate chips, yogurt pretzels, Butterfinger crumbles and Golden Grahams.
And it was glorious.
I see more fro yo in my future because there’s a frozen yogurt shop right next to the movie theater where Ryan and I are going to see Harry Potter tonight.
Giveaway Winner
Congratulations to the winners of yesterday’s giveaway!
- #582, Emily: “Ok, so I had braces when I was in middle school. I was so excited because unlike most people who have to have them on for years, I only had them for 10 months. Well I had been counting down the days to get my braces off and guess what… my orthodontist died! Isn’t that horrible? As if that wasn’t bad enough, they had no one to take off my braces. So finally they had some temp guy come in and he took them off, but he did it wrong and didn’t take off the cement right? So not only was it incredibly painful but it took me about 5 years for them to work on the cement at every dentist appt. Horrible. Oh and there was never any follow-up so I have no idea about the retainer thing. Fingers crossed that my teeth don’t shift!!”
- #298, Kyle: “Taylor Lautner definitely has the best celeb teeth… although that’s a bias answer as I am a HUGE Twilight fan!!!!”
Please email me at pbfingers@gmail.com with your mailing address and which gift card you would like (Whole Foods or Sports Authority).
Back to work. I seriously can’t wait for Harry Potter tonight! I’ve heard good things from you crazies out there who already saw it at midnight last night and I am pumped!!!
P.S. The Fashion page was updated today!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
It was GREAT, and yes, I am crazy for going at midnight 🙂 But that’s okay, it was worth it! Have fun tonight!
I love fro yo too….maybe there is some in my future today?? hah
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
What a nice surprise – I could go for a massage right about now!
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
I want to be you… for today 🙂 Fro-yo, a massage AND Harry Potter? I’m way jealous!
And can’t wait to hear what you think of HP! No spoilers, please, because I can’t see it until next week.
Laura @ prettylittlewords says
How much froyo do you usually get in the cup (like 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, etc). I love it too but always accidentally go overboard because they have too many flavors!
Cait's Plate says
I’m dying over your froyos lately. They look like just the perfect thing.
And I totally hear ya on the Google calendars – if my Google calendar is ever down or not working my life feels like it’s in shambles. Haha.
Amy says
There is a fro yo place across the street from my apartment complex I can see it’s sign from my window. I have to fight the urge to stop there every day!!
Brittany *Sparkles* says
yummy golden grahams!!!
Elizabeth says
Julie, how do you pick the winners of your giveaways?
julie @ peanut butter fingers says
I use random.org and plug in the number of entries and it gives me random integers.
Hayley says
I have already planned an alternate way home from my internship today so that I “accidently” pass my favorite frozen yogurt place.. I’m addicted too!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
I’m so jealous. take me to see harry, please.
Suzi @ Confessions of a Fitness Instructor says
I don’t blame you for being addicted! I was in Orlando last week for the Zumba Convention and had Pinkberry for the first time. And now it’s all I can think about….
We don’t have any tasty frozen yogurt places around here 🙁
Sarah Elizabeth says
I wouldn’t be able to keep myself from stopping at for froyo every time I went past either if I lived near anywhere that sold it! I love seeing the pictures and living vicariously through you though 😉
Brandi @ The Vitamin Bee says
I hope you love HP!!
I have a quesadilla maker stashed in our shed from my move and I am dying to bust it out! The crispy tortilla makes it so much better!
Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories says
Quesadillas+fro yo+a massage = awesome day!
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
I LOVE me some golden grahams on yogurt. I usually do golden grahams and maple syrup when I make a treat at home. So dangerous. I can’t stop.
Alexa says
Harry Potter was amazing!! Totally worth only getting an hour of sleep before work this morning.
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
Oh…and that would be ON ice cream. I don’t substitute milk for syrup in my golden grahams. 😉
Trainer Kjirsten @ Balanced Healthy Life says
Massages are the best, especially when you forget and get a surprise! I think your day today is my perfect one, Quesadillas, Massage, Frozen Yogurt and Harry Potter! TGIF!!! : )
Sara B says
Now I NEED frozen yogurt with golden grahams!!! That sounds soooo good!!!
Ciera @ Rose & Thistle says
I had NUTELLA fro yo for the first time this week, hasn’t helped fix my addiction to either 😉
Am also off to see Harry Potter tonight, soooo excited!
Ali says
I was thinking about how bad I wanted a massage today!! Lucky lil’ lady:)
Khushboo says
You’re not alone, I just confirmed that I have a separate fro yo stomach that is always happy to be fed! It could be worse…or not ha!
Angela @ Pinching and Packing says
I think I am now making quesadillas for dinner tonight! I always forget about my quesadilla maker, and yours look so good!
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola says
That quesa looks AMAZING! But I have a hard time making them on the griddle- I feel like I can never get the cheese melted just right! And ooh what a wonderful surprise the massage must have been! Glad you had a nice time! And after seeing your fro you yesterday and today, I am DEF getting some tonight! Yum!
Yay for winning the giveaway!! I’m so excited! Thank you so much!
stephanie* says
Im going to see HP tonight too! SoOoO excited =)
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
I have a froyo problem too, good thing there are like ZERO froyo places in Rochester!!
Roz @ My ViSalus Journey says
haha yeah you are addicted! What is wonderful is that you work out so much so that you can treat yourself every time you go by a fro yo place :D.
Lindsay@ In Sweetness and In Health says
Omg I’ve never had a massage! I’m so jealous :). Hope you have fun seeing harry potter! I can’t wait to go!
Marissa says
Mmm, that froyo looks so good! We’re going on vacation tomorrow, and there’s a self-serve shop 1/2 a mile from our hotel… FROYO EVERY NIGHT!! 🙂
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Lunch options are definitely one of the better things about working from home. I make things all the time now that I would’ve never been able to do in the office.
Lauren @ Sugar Coated Sisters says
Comment 582 is HILRARIOUS in a sort of tragic way LOLLLL
I love crunchy cereal topping in my froyo!! Good pick with the Golden Grahams…. I like getting Cap’n Crunch because it’s kinda peanut buttery tasting
Lauren @ Sugar Coated Sisters says
hilrarious? I wish your comment box had automatic spellcheck haha
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I totally agree — a quesadilla in the microwave pales in comparison to one actually grilled at home!
Hope says
That quesadilla looks amazing! I have yet to make one at home. 🙂 That massage sounds lovely! Have fun at the movies!
Lissy says
omg, after that horror story, Emily certainly deserves a prize!
I need a massage so badly. I don’t know why I don’t treat myself. Maybe when I’m on vacation. Seems like a vacation thing to do.
Emily @ Perfection Isn't Happy says
I wish I had a fro-yo place nearby! I am craving some, the closest place is 30 minutes away :(.
Julia @ Watermelon Smiles says
This lunch just inspired me. I’m making it now!
Oh, and my fro yo problem is getting out of hand. I always tell myself I’ll just get a little and fill the entire thing with a ton of flavors and toppings. Problems
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I love getting massages! But I’ve never had a deep tissue one… I’m a bit of a wuss and I’m afraid it would hurt! 😉
Elisabeth says
Can’t wait to see HP – although, pretty sad they’re done making them all! I was also sad to finish reading the series…hope she will write something new soon, even if it’s not Harry Potter related.
Dani says
I swear, I’m thinking about buying a convection oven for my office just so i don’t have to rely only on the microwave!! nice gift for the office, huh? lol
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
I am jealous of your Fro-Yo! I do not have cool fro-yo places like that anywhere around my area 🙁
Maybe thats a good thing though, i would blow all my money there is there was one! 🙂
Julia says
I WILL be going to see Harry Potter tonight as well, along with a froyo date. LOVE me some froyo, I crave it daily!
Loved your quesadilla today. It looked DELISH!
Jane @ Broccolini & Cheese says
Everyone is blogging about FroYo! I just discovered a good place near me and I need to check it out… now!
Lisa @ Mrs. Fish says
So jealous of all the fro yo! Our places are not self serve and I get all flustered ordering my toppings because it all sounds so good! Then I’m left wishing I had ordered other toppings!
Stef says
I got froyo this afternoon when I recalled the last time you got some!
The quesadilla looks great, I think I may bank that as a quick/healthy dinner!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Wow, that must have been a great surprise! I scheduled a surprise couple’s massage at the Grand Floridian on the first day of my honeymoon! I can’t wait to see how my fiance will react (he’s NEVER had one!).
I’m lucky there aren’t many frozen yogurt places around me, or I’d be stopping all the time too!
Mary says
have fun tonight! Random question–what type of tortillas do you use?
Lauren @ Fun, Fit and Fabulous! says
My name is Lauren and I too am a Fro Yo addict!!!! Classic TCBY chocolate vanilla swirls is still my all time fave!!! Have so much fun at Harry Potter. I can’t wait to see it.
Sarah says
I never have had fro-yo because there are absolutely no fro-yo places around me! Everytime I see yours I am soooo jealous because your combinations look absolutely delicious!
Jessica @ Sushi and Sit-Ups says
I haven’t had a massage in so long. That sounds amazing!
