My thirst for knowledge went way overboard this week, and not so sure I\u00a0should share this,\u00a0 but I will.\u00a0 I love the Lifelong Learning College and have attended quite a few classes\u00a0there, from\u00a0art to writing, from Kabbalah to self-improvement.\u00a0 Some I have taken because I want to\u00a0get better at certain things, some because I want to know more about\u00a0certain things, and some I take because I\u00a0really like the instructor, and will\u00a0sign up for any number of her classes, and have never been disappointed.\u00a0 \u00a0This past week I out did myself\u00a0and went to four different classes.\u00a0\u00a0By the end of the week I felt like I was back in school again full time.\u00a0\u00a0I did have a good time, and\u00a0am not complaining at all.\u00a0 The problem I’m having is with one of my selections.\u00a0 I must have thought it was something I needed to know, something I had heard talked about on TV and in any number of magazines.\u00a0 It was something that was going to be good for me, maybe save my life, at the very least it was going to make me more vibrant, my skin was going to be younger looking, my hair shinier, I was going to have more energy, I was going to sleep better and if that is not enough, good for my heart and my bones, even my teeth.\u00a0 Who could resist this class?\u00a0 The morning of my class, my friend Carole asked me what I was up to today.\u00a0 Oh, I have a class.\u00a0 I still was enthused about it, until I said it out loud.\u00a0 What class are you going to?\u00a0 A class on Green Smoothies.\u00a0 You’re taking a green smoothie with you?\u00a0 No, that is what I am going to learn.\u00a0\u00a0 I was in my water aerobic class when I revealed this information, and it spread like wild fire.\u00a0 Another of my friends makes them all the time and she said you could have stopped by my house and I would have made one for you.\u00a0 Their reaction reminded me of my son’s reaction when I said I was going to take a class on how to use my Kindle.\u00a0 Mom read the tutorial, you can do it and if \u00a0it really puzzles you, call me.\u00a0 I’m not sure what his reaction to my Green Smoothie class would be,\u00a0well on second thought, \u00a0I think I know what it would be.\u00a0\u00a0 I did attend, and I did learn a lot about the benefits of the Smoothie in the first\u00a0half of the class, and in the second half we got to taste four or five samples, made all different ways, using all different\u00a0greens and fruit combinations.\u00a0 I came home armed with information, and a lot of recipes, so I felt it was worth it.\u00a0 In retrospect, I must have been either hungry or thirsty when I browsed through the catalog.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I think the following saying should be revised to… never go food shopping or catalog browsing, on an empty stomach.\u00a0 I\u00a0might add that when you\u00a0do that, you do\u00a0come home with lots of good things you might not have bought.\u00a0 Same goes for the class, I learned a lot of good things, and had fun to boot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
