I had a blast leading my Zumba class this morning. It's at 8:30 a.m. and I'm always surprised when 20 people get up that early on a weekend morning to come work out with me. I choreographed a new song I heard called "Dance Like Nobody's Watching." After class, an older woman (like me, although I just don't see myself that way--until I look in the mirror) asked where I get all my energy. I don't really know, but I've always been a fairly enthusiastic, active, and moving-all-the-time person. Zumba (or any of the dance exercise programs) are just plain fun for me and I can forget my troubles for a little while because I can't really think about anything else when the music is going, I'm leading my class, and they're all having fun, too. Even when I'm taking someone else's class, I have to tune in and focus on my body.
We have low tide at 2 p.m. today, so going to get Difficult Grandson out on his boogie board. We already seem to moving into our summer weather pattern here, which means gray and foggy most days. It often clears up in the afternoon for a little while, but then the fog returns. It used to really bother me and after about six weeks of it, I would be desperately seeking sun. Fortunately, there is usually sun to be had just a short car ride away. The coast acts as kind of an air conditioner for the inland areas.
Pulled some leftover lasagna from the freezer that I had made a few weeks ago, so no cooking! Well, except for the banana bread I'm going to bake. There are 6 nicely speckled bananas staring at me and rather than freeze them for later, I'll just bake a couple loaves up today. I love the recipe (from America's Test Kitchen) and it's always come out perfectly. At least, I haven't managed to mess it up (yet).
Have a nice restful weekend!
