You guys make me laugh!
I think you should know that the most popular link that was clicked by readers on the blog today was the one for this little gem…
Please tell me that one of you actually bought it. And then let me be your best friend.
Workout
Since my lunchtime post was taken over by oatmeal recipes, we have some catchin’ up to do!
After eating a quick lunch, I headed out to hot yoga.
Since I really enjoyed my experience at a local yoga studio last week, I went again today and bought a package of five classes for $35. I hope this will motivate me to incorporate more yoga into my life!
Today’s class was challenging, mostly because my hamstrings were sore from yesterday’s workout. Considering my hamstrings are naturally crazy-tight, having sore, crazy-tight hamstrings made the class a treat!
At the end of the class, I was sweaty and felt wonderfully stretched out in the way only a yoga class can make me feel.
Even though my relationship with yoga is a little rocky in that I will love it for a few months and then forget about it, it’s one of the forms of exercise that my body honestly craves.
Dinner
After yoga and cramming in a few hours of work, Ryan let me know he was running late this evening, so I got to work on a dinner that takes a little longer than usual to make. Okay, so it took only 40 minutes, but that’s long for me! I’m a 20-minutes-or-less kind of gal!
I set out to make my favorite squash casserole and it turned out just as wonderful as I remembered.
I ended up adding a cup of chopped mushrooms to the casserole, but other than that, I followed the original recipe.
I can’t believe I don’t made this dish more often. I like it so much but I tend to forget about it. Mental note: Bring this casserole into a regular rotation!
I went back for seconds and practically licked my bowl clean. Yum!
After dinner, Ryan and I took Sadie on an hour-long walk around the neighborhood. It’s unbelievably beautiful outside this evening!
Now I’m off to cram in a little reading before bed. I’m about halfway through Fever, the sequel to Wither, and while I’m enjoying it, I liked Wither better so far.
I’m not complaining though because both books are thoroughly entertaining!
Speaking of books…
Just a reminder that we’ll be discussing The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes next week on Tuesday, April 3, for those of you who read March’s book club selection. If you’re a blogger and posted a review of the book on your blog and wish to have your link included in the post, please email it to me and I’ll be sure to add it to the list!
Goodnight!

I’m almost done with the book club book – I’ve liked it a lot so far. I’m thinking about reading Wither too…though I’ve only read the first in the Maze Runner series as of yet. You give me so many good book ideas to choose from!
I still need to try that squash casserole recipe! Have a great night!
Mmm, adding mushrooms sounds delicious. Looks like a great meal! I love that the wine glass holder was the most-clicked link – too funny 🙂
HAhaha I so wanted to buy that for my friend, but I just don’t have the extra $$ to spend right now. And I’m glad you’re enjoying hot yoga! it’s a great way to mix things up!
Yay for yoga!! and also, i’m ready to do the book club thing maybe… so I’ll try it next time!
Looks like the wine cup holder is backordered, darn it!
I wonder if that’s because so many readers from here bought it?!…
That looks über delicious! Also, I really wish I could find yoga classes for that cheap! The ones near me run for almost double that 🙁
That sounds tasty! I love a good yoga class to get the kinks out.
5 classes for $35?!?!? Is that an introductory rate? I pay $78!
I’m so glad that you recently gave hot yoga another try. I truly believe that anyone can benefit from attending hot yoga. Have a good night! 🙂
I actually have that wine glass necklace…I wore it to my last formal my senior year of college!!!
5 classes for $35?! That’s an amazing price!! Our 5 class cards are $80!
I recently bought a livingsocial deal for 20 bikram yoga classes for $50 for a studio near me. I actually waited to try bikram yoga until the livingsocial deal came out because I knew the studio usually runs them every 6 months or so. Gotta love daily deal websites!
I love squash casserole but never made it with sausage. Sounds delicious!
Haha that wine glass holder looks klutz-proof for someone like me, but I’m pretty sure I would still find some magical way to spill it all over myself.
I love squash casseroles and that recipe sounds great!
Your squash casserole looks delicious! I wish my husband would eat it, but I’ll just have to save it to take to a girls dinner!
You’re inspiring me to give yoga another chance! I always get a little bored when I do yoga, but I think if I really *try* to like it a few times, it may come around.
Holy crap $35 for 5 classes ?! It’s like $100 for 5 classes here in LA! http://www.hot8yoga.com
$35 for 7 yoga classes sounds like a steal- good call on signing up!
I am the exact same way – love yoga for a few months, then forget about it, then remember it, then love it again…and the cycle goes on and on. Not sure why this happens though! lol
I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying yoga 🙂
Your readers clearly have good priorities with that link!
The casserole sounds amazing. Definitely one i’ll have to try.
Have a great weekend!
5 yoga classes for $35?! Wow! That is a great deal!
That link popularity is hilarious! I think if I had to buy one of those items I’d definitely go for the hoodie pj’s!! LOL I used to rock a lot of those footed pj’s back in my younger days. 😉
As for the hot yoga, good for you! I do like yoga, but wish I had more time to fit it in. I can understand your struggles w/it. You buying the yoga package was a great idea and kind of motivates me to go back to Jazzercise and buy another subscription. 😉 Have a great day!
That squash casserole sounds delicious! Definitely going to have to try it. 🙂
So funny that that link was the most popular on your blog!
My son got a kid bug vac for his birthday. They were like $10 at Target. I think it’s going to come in handy over the summer for any bugs in the house!
Totally going to try that squash casserole 🙂 It looks Yum-O!
So I was surfing Pinterest the other day and ran across this list of books that someone compiled. I remember you had read The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Maze Runner Trilogy and thought you might like some of the other books on the list. Some I’ve added to my wish list.

My entry is scheduled to post tomorrow, so I will send it your way then!
this lovely wine glass holder was gifted to me (unfortunately?).
I hope that one day I’m as good of a wife as you are!
I love your yoga mat bag!! May I ask, where did you purchase the bag?
yay for hot yoga! Like some others, I’m floored by how cheap yoga is in your area. It’s $70 for 5 classes at my studio.
My roommate and I have those wine glass holders!! We bought them on a trip to Napa Valley last year though, not from Sky Mall!
I absolutely bought that wine glass necklace! I’m giving it to my sister in law for her birthday. As a sweet bonus, you get 2 in the order, so I’m totally keeping the second one for myself.
Is there an April book club? I’d love to join!
yes! we’ll be voting on a book this week!
I have recently started a web site, the info you offer on this site has helped me tremendously.
Thanks for all of your time & work. “Everyone is responsible and no one is to blame.”
