"My legs hurt."

Life can be exciting depending on how you choose to spend your time. I've been confused on what to do now that the holidays were over and all my family went back to their normal day to day routines. What now? or What next?

I decided to go back to school and finish my associates. I only have 4 credits after this semester is over. I only have electives left so I decide to take some fun classes. I'm taking an aerobics 1/ step class I know what your thinking "Melanie you have no rhythm how are you going to get through this class." I thought the same thing but I'm actually really liking it.(I didn't say I'm good at it.) My good friend Megan Jorgensen is taking it with me. I'm so glad that she's doing it with me. It's so much more fun to work out with a buddy. We've worked out 3 days this week, 2 in class and once on our own. Today, Saturday we went to the gym and I am so sore. My legs haven't been this sore for so long. At least I know I'm getting a work out.

I'm also taking a beginning sewing class one day a week. My first class was on Thursday and I thought class was at 6:30 not 6pm. So I was late for my first class. Then I sat in gum, it was a great first class. I wasn't sure if I was going to stay in that class but I think it will be good in the end because I will learn some useful information like putting in a zipper, button holes... you know the basics. Thank heavens SLCC does night classes or I wouldn't do it. Elliot is able to take care of Josie while I'm at class it's great to have a supportive husband. Thanks babe.

I'm so jealous you're learning to sew! I even have a sewing machine, but it's never been out of the box, how bad is that!
Ha! My word verification is "merse", looks like mercy to me!
