Rain, Rain Go Away

It has been raining here for almost 2 weeks. We have had maybe 2 1/2 days of sunshine in that whole time. You know its bad when the weatherman comments that the yellow disk in the sky is actually the sun. Too bad we only get to see it for about 2 hours at a shot. We are becoming very bummed out here.
But at least I have lots of things going on that is keeping me busy. My scrapbooking class started last week. Every Monday night for 2 hours, I get to work on my pages. I am very into scrapbooking now. I have almost a full book done and still have only done about half of my previous pictures. I just finished picking about 70 pictures before the class started. The only downfall is the amount of stuff I take to class. But is worth it because I enjoy it so much.
I have also joined a womens self defense class. I had thought about taking it but decided against it for financial reasons. Then my best friend D offered to let me take it for free. She had joined it and since the instructor was already paid for and the class wasn't full, she thought it would be fine to let a few freebies in, me being one of them. It is a great class to take and I recomend anyone who lives in a city, to take the class if they have one available to them. But be warned, it is a painful class. You actually learn and execute the moves. My wrists and knees hurt so bad at the end of the class from falling and having my arms twisted a bunch of different ways. But I think it is a good class to take to learn at least a few moves so that you can be a little prepared if you are ever attacked. It also is a bit of exercise and I know for sure that is something that I can use.
We have already had a frost here so I am hoping that next weekend I will be able to pull up all my plants and get my beds ready for winter. I have a feeling the snow will be here earlier than normal this year, which will probably mean close to Thanksgiving. This is okay though, because since school started, I put myself in fall mode and basically ignore anything outdoors. I have so much other stuff on the go that I am happy with it.
Well, enough for now. More at a later date!!
