Past week in a glance

Campus closes the last week of the year.  I have been on a lovely vacation!  During this time we visited the many festive family gatherings, perfected the science of naps and got a chance to see a lot of friends.  It was a good week!

•  John and I helped G&M clean up and organize their house, (FUN!).
• Friends came over for an xmas dinner.
• Went to a casino and listened to a pretty good Rolling Stones cover band.  Afterwards we went to a friends house and watched Contour.  Most of the actors were kick ass martial artists, and it was filmed low budget style in SF.  Good stuff.
• We still suck mightily on DDR but now we have 2 dance mats and attempt it together.  
• Tried some new recipies

One of John’s early xmas presents was the Wii Fit.  I had been looking for it for a few months and one day some online retailer had a few available.  I snapped it up and since then we have been using is well if not every day  .. a lot!  It has some great games you do on a balance board and it keeps track of your center of balance while you dodge soccer balls, do 1700 hula hoop circles or box with a giant pillar with arms.  It also has  yoga  with a trainer that walks you though all the poses. As you earn “fit credits” more yoga and other games are unlocked, encouraging you to do more.
