It's Been Awhile

I suppose you all are starting to worry about me right?  Sweet :)
Update: Injury gone but still no dancing till next Tuesday.  I am also missing the feis on Saturday :(
I have finally started my Irish Solo Dress Savings!  I am at... $50 (+) I think.  Sad amount, but good start.  I have at least $750 to go.  Plus, I want to get a custom dress so $700 to that, and the $100 to shipping and what not.


"Simplified Almond Butter Banana Shake
vegan, serves 2

1 3/4 cups almond milk or soymilk, vanilla flavor
2 large frozen bananas, ripe
2 heaping Tbsps almond butter
1/3 cup ice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
garnish: roasted almonds"

I had this for breakfast this morning to try something else besides my AWESOME BANANA smoothie recipe :).  It was very good but I used 4 ice cubes and plain soymilk with a little bit more cinnamon than called for since I didn't measure it, and 2 teaspoons of Almond butter with no garnish.  YUM. 
Anyway, I found new musik to listen to as well - Eisblume my new favorite [German] band!
Now whenever I listen to it, I don't hear the words "Louise - mein Herz" but "Louise - my heart" instead :).
Besides that, I have unconsciously turned very much Vegan, though I like to say, "I am a Vegan sprinkled with honey or fried rice with egg" :)). I do have some things with egg, like a granola bar or cookie, or one of my friend's mac and cheese because it is worth dying for, and yes, fried rice with egg at Pho Hua in Chinatown, Boston, MA.  Hehe.
Guess what???
I have a six-pack.
And something new happened while I was gone from my blog... I have had 10 views from Germany! HEEEEEEEEEE
Bye

The Good, The Bad, and Stupidity

I am typing this all with one hand because, well, lets start with the Stupidity.  Last night was my first dance practice  for a feis I am doing in the fall.  Well, right after that, I went to youth group for a few hours.  Right when we were all leaving, I was running sideways.  Whoops my ankle slid out from under me... My mom and I spent two hours in the ER where I learned I sprained both my left ankle and wrist.  I am completely immobile on my left side.  I had been dancing practically all day yesterday!   Grrrrrrrrrr.  :( Anyway, the Bad was I am tired and the Best, was this past weekend.  My parents and I went to NYC on Sep. 10.  We went to Ground Zero which was pretty amazing - we also saw a lot of men and women from the Army and Police with their guns which was pretty cool.  The reason we went to NYC was to see Within Temptation.  It was amazing!  I almost lost my voice that night, and I have been recovering since.  It was SOOOOOO cool.  Only, and sadly, when Sharon opened her mouth, I instantly knew she had a sore throat :( Poor Sharon.  But it was awesome anyway. 


Here's a recipe -

- 1 Frozen Banana - Peeled and cut up
- About one-third or a half a cup of Plain Soymilk
- 1/4 teaspoon of Vanilla Exract
- About 1/2 a cup of (Vegan - Optional) Chocolate Chips - Depending on how chocolaty you like it.
- Two Icecubes
- Optional* Protein Powder

Blend it till satisfied with the chunkiness/smoothness and enjoy :))
