It occurred to me as I was wheeling out the trashcan today that there is a big problem in Overland Park. You see, the trashcan I was taking to the curb was as large as the jumbo homes around me. The problem? The recycling containers were 1/6 the size of the trashcans. While it's great that an attempt at recycling is being made... some education needs to happen here. The recyclables should be greater than the trash. When I had a compost pile in my last apartment (ahh, the days of having a yard), I almost never had trash. Why? Because nearly everything can be recycled. It's true!
Today was my first boxing class and I LOVED it! Really! I almost felt like the 1 hour class was harder than running the entire marathon... we ran, did push-ups and ab workouts, medicine ball stuff and of course actual punching. My favorite was the 1-2-1 which, according to my instructor, is supposed to simulate jabbing someone in the nose, then a hit to the chin, and finally a hook to the jaw. Will I ever spar with someone in a ring? Probably not. But hitting a bag is just as fun. Class number two for me will be at 6am tomorrow. Can't wait!
I am a lucky girl! Mom and I hit up Kababesh Grill on 119th which made me so happy. I could eat Indian food every day and never get bored. Although the Matar Paneer (right) was different than what I am used to, it was still delicious. Mom's Benghan Bharta (left) was spicy and good... and I have leftovers of both to enjoy while the 'rents are away. Hooray!
