I dressed like a 'dork' and won a t-shirt

Last night the gym had a spring event. We were meant to dress up 'bright and fun' for the kata box class. Now anyone that knows me knows that I'll grab any opportunity to 1) Party and 2) Make a fool of myself.

So with the kid's help I selected some suitably bright and funky attire to take to last nights class.

I had:

• Black spandex cycling shorts (argh!)
• Multi coloured striped socks - bright pink, blue, yellow and orange.
• I bright blue t-shirt with a bright pink string vest on top.
• My new grey and sunshine yellow tackies
• My hair in 2 pig tails and
• My red pixie hat with big pixie ears, from a ballet concert when I was 7 (how can I STILL have that!?)

Yes, I induced much hilarity, sniggering and general strange looks in the class and gym in general, especially since I was only one of 2 people who bothered to dress up. The other a middle-aged lady who had a neon t-shirt and peak cap with flowers sewn on it.

Still the class was fun anyway. Towards the end some other staff members came in. They had a quick lucky draw for some key-rings - whoop-dee-do! I got nothing. Then they decided I needed a prize so I got a black Virgin Active t-shirt and a chocolate.

I went home - in my full multi-coloured glory and told the boys 'I won!', to which Richard said, 'What for dressing like a dork?'

Well, yes!
