be brave * take a class

the title almost sounds like it could be one inspiration rather than two! be brave and take a class!!

there is actually a class that i've been thinking about taking, purely for fun

the school is prarieview... http://www.prairieview.ca/Prairieview_School_of_Photography.html
it looks super cool, and like it would be tons of fun. although then i would probably want to buy a new camera... hmmm this is sounding like even more fun! but i may just have to wait for a bit

i like the idea of taking a class just for interest sake, i've always liked the idea of auditing classes, so that you can just sit there and soak it in, because you want to, not because you're trying to pass
so, that idea is always on the back burner

hmm being brave. i felt less than brave twice this weekend, and both involve animals!
we were camping this weekend, and i was in the washroom and went to wash my hands. i went to the middle sink and was about to put my hands under the tap when i jumped back. there was HUGE gross beetle laying on its back flayling (how do you spell that?) it's legs around... yuck. so i moved to the next sink only to look up to see the biggest month i've ever seen!!! literally, it was the size of a pancake, but so not as good as a pancake. so then i jumped back, ran to the third sink and got out of there as quickly as i could

then, the second unbrave moment came when i was walking back to the tent and i saw this bird. so i was watching it as it was flying and then it swooped down so low, i thought it was going to land on my head! so i squated down so fast and let out a little yelp. i was glad it was early in the morning so that no one saw! what a wuss. i ran back to the tent and snuggled up to my husband, safely away from moths, beetles and swoopy birds. phew!

Okay so you wouldn't have like the tadpole I found inside my bathing suit one time when I was twelve and swimming at the pit in Beausejour - or you wouldn't have liked the moth that the emergency doctor pulled out of dad's ear - or the beetle that the emergency doctor pulled out of Grandpa's ear the year later (I took both of them in so I can speak first hand!) - or you wouldn't like the big squirrel that is laying outside the back door - very dead, but waiting to be eaten by either Louis or Vanilla - okay, likely Vanilla, cause Louis would be too lazy to catch it! Guess I am the braver of us two hey? Where did you get that from anyhow - you never used to be scared!! Baby - good thing you have Michael by your side!
love Mom
