If you could take a class right now and learn anything in the world, what class would you take?

There's several things I'd like to learn how to do, so I might take German, for one.

My husband's family is German, and he really wants Gavin to know some German. (We bought Muzzy DVDs for Gavin- the big giant green monster that teaches languages to young children, he LOVES it!) But I can't learn much from those- not anything too useful anyways. I'm considering trying Rosetta Stone in German, our library has it where you can borrow it, so I could do that before committing $$.

I'd love to be a better crocheter (I hope that's a word), I started teaching myself, but there's just only so much I can teach myself without any real knowledge of crochet!! I gave up on my crocheted whippets...I'll be paying someone to make those for me!!

I loved all my history courses in college- so I guess I'd  take one on the history of the British Empire, that's always fascinated me (mostly since I'm a complete anglophile!). The only thing I hated about history was writing papers- same thing for English Lit. I despised writing papers! But I think I would've enjoyed creative writing or journalism.

I also would love to take a photography class. I'm teaching myself that also (not easy when my camera keeps being dysfunctional!!) but I'd love to learn more about the technical side of photography.

I have always loved reading and learning, I just don't have time for it like I used to. Now I'm just trying to pass that love on to my son. It makes me so happy when he brings me a book off the shelf to read, and he climbs in my lap to snuggle in for at least a couple of pages :)

I noted below that I have a few photographs that I'm always amazed that I took.

Here's one of them

What's your morning beverage of choice?  Coffee, tea, juice?  Homemade or store-bought?

COFFEE!! I can't live without it! I make my own- usually Hazelnut, no sugar, no milk...yep, straight up :)
I occasionally like to have a plain or hazelnut latte- but live an hour away from any Starbucks (hard to believe I know- well there's sort of one on base, but it's not really the same- and it's in the gym, I feel guilty going to the gym for coffee and not to work out).  Sometimes I do get coffee at the bookstore, or if our bible study meets at the coffee shop on the other side of town, but that's rare.

I'm enjoying my cup right now -
