I'm taking a statistics class. I somehow got through college without taking one, and it's about time I learned this stuff.

I'm also taking a swimming class at some ungodly hour in the morning on Fridays. I never had any trouble keeping myself afloat, but now I'm learning how to do swimming strokes properly (like how and when to breathe in freestyle).

Chris and I have also been taking dance classes, but there's not much to say about that; you kind of have to be there. If you want something to read about, try the catalog of swing dance styles on streetswing.com, a great time-waster where you can read about what dances influenced other dances or were combined with other dances, when and where they were invented or popularized ... Here's one place to start, just click everything.

These are the beginnings of my latest sewing project: the awesomest pair of homemade jeans ever to grace my butt. (They don't have much competition, really). The pattern is from Sew U. It's a good book that comes with a fabulous pants pattern; the only alteration I made was to make the thighs a little roomier, the better to accomodate my fat massive muscles.
