Having Monday off has completely thrown off my internal calendar, so let's just pretend today is Friday for a bit. Wait, that probably won't work out well come tomorrow... but anyways, here is my usual Friday post. I have an exciting one lined up for tomorrow, get pumped.
1. This week I tried a kickboxing class for the first time. Yes, you read that right, kickboxing. A friend of mine went once and enjoyed herself, and since they were running a special I figured I'd give it a shot too. It might be a little pricey for me to make a habit out of it, but it truly was a fun workout. I'm still sore and I did the class on Tuesday.
Between the lunges and kicks we did in class, and the mileage I put on in the past two weeks running, I think it is safe to say my knee is officially back to normal.
2. I finally got around to making some homemade chicken stock. I have been meaning to for the longest time. I've had chicken pieces and bones in gallon baggies taking up space in my freezer for over a year. But you know how three-day weekends motivate me, so of course I tackled it on Monday.
I followed roughly this recipe/ ratio. I haven't tried it yet, so I really can't say if it's any better than the store-bought variety (although I buy the cheap stuff from Aldi, so I hope so). At the very least, however, I can say it was super cheap (pretty much the price of 1 onion and 2 carrots, to make 8 cups) and we already had the ingredients lying around the house.
3. Groupon is addicting. Just throwing this out there. I've got four outstanding groupons and a few more I'm eyeing, yet I don't want to pull the pin on with so many in limbo. Not that I have ever let a groupon expire, but still, it concerns me. There are some pretty sweet deals on those sites and they make getting in those two dates per month awfully easy and interesting!
Rollerskating at the Dome, excuse me, I mean Mall of America Field, anyone before it gets demolished? Or how about wine-tasting in a cave? See what I mean!
And for anyone else stressing over my unused groupons like I am (I'm sure all of you), no worries, I have two scheduled to be used before Thanksgiving.
That's all I've got time for tonight- I'm kind of getting this one in under the wire. But it's still Thursday so this totally counts towards my mission of blogging every work day this month!
