in Chit-Chat
We can work out until we are blue in the face, but every now and again we need a little fun! Do you dance, play tennis, play soccer, or just like to cruise on the motorcycle? What is some other things you like to do besides building up a sweat?

For me I play hockey, and I've been playing since around 1996, a very fun pass time for me. I also program video games for the PC/MAC and mobile devices. I also teach programming on the side as sort of a fun hobby, my teachings have been featured in game developers magazines, and monthly news letters. I also play video games, and I have this massive heart for animals. So I volunteer at shelters across South Carolina, when I can. My favorite animal is the cow, and I think they are cute, and my goal is to own one! Yes thats right. For a pet, not for food!

    I used to do trick shooting on horseback. I train and compete in canine agility and tracking still, but would like to lose a little more weight and gain a little more core strength before going back on any kind of trick riding gig.

    I really enjoy spending time outdoors soaking up my surroundings. I've been going to the beach a few times a week and have found it to be the perfect mental cleanse. We also have many gorgeous hikes throughout the various hills extending across the Los Angeles landscape.

    I like to spend time with friends and jam out. I haven't had much time lately since I started back to school and have 4 kids and a brand new granddaughter. I play the bass , not real well, but enjoy it none the less. I want to devote more time to learning the guitar and other instruments. I have a house full of instruments.

    Over the years my husband and I have owned & flown 2 hot air balloons. We spend some of our leisure time hiking and camping in the summer months, but mostly we attend auctions and fairs all around the country as we are both interested in antiques

    I love dancing. Once upon a time I wanted to take up competitive Latin Ballroom dancing. Music is also a passion of mine...singing, playing, and listening. And I am a water baby...so give me a pool, a beach or even a seat in view of water and I am happy.

Hobbies - I love playing pub quiz, my friends and I are in a national tournament this weekend!

    I throw rocks and trees, also called Highland Games.

    I also like to read, play the occasional video game, and play around with my little boy.

    But primarily it's the tree throwing.
