Treadmill purchased, run upon
The treadmill arrived today. It turns out it’s a Trimline 350 HR, which scored a “very good” in all categories in a January 2005 Consumer Reports test. By the way, I did not pay as much as is listed on that website. I got it on sale. I tried it out this morning, and it’s pretty good so far. I ran about four miles, and it was fun to watch the little blips advance on the distance display, and to watch the calories burned rack up. It’ll be nice not to have to depend on daylight to get my running in, what with my busy evenings and reducing daylight hours.
Other exciting things in my life:
I finally tried out my wonderful KitchenAid mixer (thanks, Cheryl!). It was great! For some reason I had it in my head that it would be more trouble or harder to clean than a hand mixer, but it really wasn’t. If anything, it was easier, because stuff didn’t splatter all over the kitchen, and there were no more bowls or beaters to clean than with the hand mixer. I really enjoyed it and had a fun time using it, and Denny and I are both enjoying the cookies that were the result.
You’re very welcome.

A KitchenAid will change your life. It is seriously, the one appliance that I love like a family member. Largely b/c it allows me to easily make mashed potatoes and really good old fashioned, colonial style, gingerbread cakes. without burning up the motor. Whoever gave it to you, you should love them forever. For me, this is the guy who installed my corian countertop, which is a little wierd, but hey….whatever works.
