Two things:
My awesome FREE coffee cup from my orthodontist…
Me and My Beloved Mug
…and Straight No Chaser‘s Christmas holiday albums.
(Note: In the above picture I was stopped in my car, waiting for a train. I had some time to spare. 😉 )
This morning started out on a great note when I stopped by my orthodontist’s office for an emergency Invisalign appointment (my bottom aligner ripped… oh no!). My orthodontist saw my blog and knew how obnoxiously obsessed I was over the first free (eco-friendly!) coffee cup she gave me that she gave me another one to keep at work. Awesome! (Here’s the post where the love affair began.)
As for my love for Straight No Chaser, I was jammin’ to “Carol of the Bells” on their first Christmas album on my way to work today. (Click here to enjoy this fabulous song.)
Straight No Chaser: Holiday Spirits
I love singing in my car and sometimes I think I sound pretty decent! This encourages me to turn down the music to see if it’s really me that sounds good, or if it’s the help of the professional singers and the band that’s making me sound so fantastic. After about half of a second, I always realize that it is, in fact, Carrie Underwood who sounds good… not me.
What is your favorite holiday song?
I love “O Holy Night.” I think it is so gorgeous and I can’t get enough! I also really enjoy “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “Carol of the Bells.”
Workout and Breakfast
This morning I did not want to get out of bed. I attribute this to the sound of rain on my window. How relaxing! I was so comfy under my blankets. Still, I knew I’d feel better after my workout and so I went to the gym and took a BodyPump class, followed by 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical.
Breakfast was tasty: A warmbowl of Flax Z Snax hot cereal with a scoop of cinnamon All the Whey protein powder and some frozen raspberries.
Flax Hot Cereal and Raspberries
Of course I enjoyed some hot coffee in my free mug (and a Hershey kiss on the side)! 🙂
It’s the little things in life that matter most, right?
Friday's Breakfast
(Gross! You can see my Invisalign aligners in the above picture. Ewwww. I apologize… please don’t leave me!)

That frog test is hard! I’ve been playing for like 5 minutes. My favorite Christmas song is “Mary, Did You Know?’ Thanks for reminding me about Straight No Chaser! I remember hearing about them last year.
love free stuff! esp for going to the dentist! I hate that place 🙁
LOVE frozen raspberries I am on such a kick right now!
My favorite holiday song is Maria Carey: “All I want for Christmas is You” (I am not sure if that is the official title) but I LOVE to belt that out in my car!! Fun times!
Yay! I passed the frog test. I don’t know how I did it, but whatever I did worked.
