Currently [4]

I've been quiet on the blogging front, but I wanted to get back in to the "Currently" link up again. Hopefully I'll have some more posts this week, but really, there hasn't been a lot going on, I've been getting solid sleep every night and I'm in denial that Elle is almost two. So we'll see what happens. 

Cooking with zucchini. And for the future. I spent several hours last week whipping up a few batches of zucchini bread and muffins, then made some zucchini enchiladas and tuna noodle casserole to freeze for lunches in the future. I'm a big fan of Skinny Taste. I've also been working on rebuilding my crock pot and dump recipe stockpiles after our great power outage. 

Making a return to Spin classes. I bought a voucher to a local cycle studio earlier this year from Living Social, and I have a month of unlimited Spinning to use up. I started about 10 days ago and have made it to four classes. It nearly killed me the first week, but it feels so good to be back in class! I had attended two or three Spin classes most weeks from 2006 until 2008. When we got married, I had to leave my beloved gym, and the YMCA we joined didn't have Spinning. The branch that I'd go to occasionally had a great instructor, but it was a 25-minute drive to get there, and I couldn't justify the time or gas money, and then we left the Y and joined a (much cheaper) very basic gym. So basically I hadn't gone Spinning since before I found out I was pregnant. It has been awesome to be back, and I'm hoping we can join another gym in the not-so-distant future that has Spin classes with awesome instructors. 

Working on some new projects. Cryptic, yes, but hopefully I'll be able to explain more soon.

Reading the newspaper more. And taking a break from books - I haven't been sucked in to any lately, but I'm sure it is just a matter of time before I get hooked on a few more. 

Listening to the latest Maroon 5 album, and the Train single "50 Ways to Say Goodbye." There was an Amazon deal on the Maroon 5 album, and the Train song has been in several of my Spin classes. I love Train, and their "My Private Nation" album was my anthem the summer after I graduated college - I played it on every road trip I took. The other album that stands out from that summer? Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane." It's nice to still be listening to bands that have been a part of some extremely formative periods in my life.
