Wicked, Weather and Workouts (oh my!)

I finished reading Wicked, by Gregory Maguire, again tonight.  This is the fourth or fifth time I've read it.  I love, love, love the story.  It always amazes me that someone could envision the "other side of the story".  Elphaba is such an endearing character.  I found myself questioning what really happened at the end.  Maguire is an excellent story teller.  I get lost in his novels.  

In other news, it rained all day today.  The rain is calming and soothing until you are standing in it for an extended period of time.  Then it's just cold.  At least it is not snow!

I also went to Zumba tonight.  If you don't know, Zumba is an AMAZING workout.  It's dance moves combined with core moves in an energetic cardio routine.  (Do I sound like the info-mercial or what?)  I got started on it thanks to a friend from church.  It has been difficult to make it to the 5:30 am sessions on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but I feel so much better when I do go.  I will be going in the morning.
