First order of business

Okay, I have not let any grass grow under my feet in my quest to "Slap The Bull." I just registered for a few classes that piqued my interest. I am starting small but I'm sure they will have a big impact on my future. I enrolled in a Vegetable Gardening how-to class through the city of Chandler Environmental Education Center. For the past 2 years I've told myself that I really wanted to start a garden with no action taken on my part. Well I have done some early on-line research and I'm ready for some hands-on know-how from some experts. The end of September is the winter planting season and this class is on 9/9 so I'm cutting it close. How satisfying will it be to pick vegetables from my own yard? If you have a garden and have some pointers, please post them below, I would love to hear them. Or, if you have thought about gardening and haven't taken the plunge, register and take the class with me. It was only $14 and it is open to non-Chandler residents. So I said I registered for a few classes. Heres the skinny on the other two: they are paper craft classes taught at Tumbleweed Rec center. I am excited about these classes because being creative in one area of your life seems to always spill over into other areas of your life. That has been my experience anyway. Imagine making your own greeting cards! I get all tingly inside just thinking about it and you should see the smile on my face as I type this. I think I'm on the right track. Starting a garden, which I have NEVER attempted before and feeding my creative side. I think I'm off to a great start. Be sure to check back on the progress of my garden. If you are interested in the classes mentioned above visit the city of Chandler website at http://www.chandleraz.gov/ and look for the leisure and lifestyle tab at the top. "Slap The Bull," everyone "Slap The Bull."
