It was quite toasty yesterday -- I think it got up to about 85 degrees in the house. So warm, in fact, that I made the executive decision to buy another fan for the home. Wild and crazy, I know. I even splurged and paid the extra $4 to get next-day delivery. Oh, how I love Amazon Prime!
Speaking of things I love, here's what's been on my radar of late:
1. Mad Men -- I am officially obsessed and I've even gotten D hooked on the Mad Men train. I started watching the show when the new season premiered this year; previously I had watched a few episodes here and there, but never managed to get hooked. Well, I am now officially hooked and can't stop watching. We joined the local Family Video (I know, how quaint, a video store!) and have been voraciously watching past seasons of the show. (Gotta love that we can rent a whole season for five days for less than $1.50!) We just finished Season One on Sunday, and to my dismay, someone had rented out season two, but when I checked yesterday, it was back in the store, so we are back on track with feeding our Mad Men love. It's been interesting, as I know a lot of stuff that has happened since I watched Season Five, but it's great getting to know all the backstory that I missed.
2. Summer Produce -- I cannot get enough of all the fresh summer produce that is in the grocery stores these days. I cannot even explain how happy I am that I can purchase organically-grown strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries at Golden Harvest. And the organically-grown peaches I picked up there last week were beyond sweet and delicious. I definitely purchased more than I needed for the peach kuchen I baked on Friday; I have my eyes on a warm peach topping recipe that I may need to make later today.
3. YMCA of the Northwoods -- Though I definitely miss my Just-Five-Blocks-Away gym in Philly, I am enjoying new classes at the Y. So far I've tried their spin class (a little less hard-core than I'm used to, but still a good workout), a women-only weights/circuit class, a hatha yoga class (way more low-key than I am used to/prefer), and a core/TRX class (which I loved and hope to make a regular part of my workout routine). Tonight I think I may give Zumba a whirl, though I have a feeling it may be a bit of a disaster given my extreme lack of coordination. We shall see! In the meantime, I'm searching for a new yoga studio -- I can't believe that after just three-months of once-a-week power vinyassa classes in Philly, I've totally gotten myself hooked on yoga. So far, I haven't had luck finding a vinyassa class here in Rhinelander, though there may be some more options in Wausau (albeit that's at least a 45-minute drive away). I may have to give home yoga workouts a whirl. I hear there are some good YouTube options.
