V's Plan

Keen to try some new things and V came up with a plan for me... have to report back in two weeks.
Plan is...

1. Learn to dance. Try Rock n Roll or something fun – it’s such a good skill to pull out on the dance floor

2. Get a fitness buddy (boy or girl)
3. Go to craft classes
4. Start Zumba – I’ve heard it’s awesome
5. Volunteer at SPCA http://www.spca.org.nz/volunteer/info.htm

Air hockey

B and I went and played air hockey for our meeting yesterday - we both needed some stress relief, a laugh and some fun.  Was heaps of fun and keen to do again soon... when it all gets to much (work and its been tough) just step aside and play some air hockey - thats my strategy at the mo.

Nerd Herd vs the Snob Mob

Funny - talking about school groups yesterday at work and flashed back to the NERD HERD. If memory serves  me right... we were the girls at intermediate who wore our bike helmets to school at the start of Form 1.  I think new laws had just passed - wasn't compulsory but reccomended.  The girls/friends who didn't formed the SNOB MOB and the names stuck for intermediate. Going to put a call out to the school friends and see what they say/remember.  Will also put up good pick when go home of the group with hair poof's etc... :)

Iron Man 2

Sunday - saw Iron Man 1 in Dubai and just watched 2 with Mark and Chris at Sylvia Park - loved it. Am easy to please with the whole super hero/comic hero movies - by default been sucked into world with boys, but also love movies from events perspective/big budgets/special effects etc..
