Hydroslides


Groan - another late night at work and missed my Wednesday night training - dulp (fat and unfit) not helping the cause. (I am going to have to climb mt eden about a dozen times in one day to make up my 21 in 21 days). Anyways when I got asked what wanted to do for training before i knew it wasn't going to happen, but in the midst of another crazy day - hydrosliding - popped into my mind.

Used to love Te Rapa pools and frequented on a few birthdays with friends and fam when younger.  Last time I hit hydroslide was at Marriot in Gold Coast with Fife and Manda 2006/7 for New Years - weird looks from kids when in line, but sooooo much fun - even tho it was super fast. (question tho- was it std speed, or now older did it just seem faster?)

Actually another flash back - last slide was the Jumeriah Scariah in Dubai - OMG scary! Walking up took ages (back stretcher positiioned nearby), went so fast, and screamed so loud - lost my bikini top, undies went up my bum - and I can safely say I will never do that again! Still glad to say I did though :) Not best pic but gives you idea-ish :)

UGG Boots

I want UGG boots this year, but have no idea if they are worthy, that cool or just nice to have when hanging out at home over winter. Hmmm might have to go try some on.

Another week that was...



Another busy week, especially at work, great to have a full on weekend though and totally remove self from it all... weekend was great because...

1. Went kayaking with Mark on lake, nice to be back on water, been ages, was hard but enjoyed.
2. Went out in the tron for girls night out, V8's was on and mission was to find a bogan with a holden ute - ha hah not really but was the standard joke. Fun night out with Kel, Fife, Kylie and Cath for predrinks and then dancing.
3. Managed to get lots of home grown goodies from home, Dad, Kel and I dug up kumaras, potatoes and pumpkin - YUM!
4. Went to Warriors vs Panthers - love going to league games, sooo much fun, just bum we lost.
5. Loving my book at mo, girl with hidden tattoo, trying to power read through as quickly as possible.

So on that note, over and out. NG :)

Life is...

...a journey and not a destination!
Sometimes you need to stop and smell the roses!
