Sigh...

So by the time you read this, the first post I did will have sat, unmentioned, for a week. I do apologize for not bringing to your attention that I started a blog. Surprise. I started a blog!

I honestly wish I could say I had some fabulous reason for not getting back to this sooner, like I was on the beach somewhere, or I've just been so busy, but honestly the real reason is we got a Wii. Now I must say that I do go to the gym EVERY night after work, come back, make dinner, and have shows I watch. However that does not consume the whole night.

It's like crack. Not that I've ever tried crack but I'm assuming there is a reason people have addictions...So let's try this again. It's like a cute pair of new shoes. You know you don't have anywhere to wear them right away, so you just walk around at home in them. (ok that's me but then again it's my blog, so you are probably going to learn a lot about...me...) So we can't just let it sit there unplayed.

I guess I need to rewind a little more on this story as well. I really do hate learning to play video games. They intimidate me. But for some reason, I felt compelled to have an attraction to the Wii. I do not know what it is. So I talked about it a lot and said they were fun, and Shane must have picked up on my subtle hints. The weekend before Christmas I was shopping with my sisters(who will have their own place in one of my blogs soon...)and Shane was at Best Buy picking one up for his brother who paid him back for it, but forgot Santa should really shop for something THAT popular more than 5 days before Christmas. They had a few left. He had 2 in his hands. Called me but I couldn't get away and really my mind wasn't on spending on myself that day. (wow, unselfish gesture...) And I have to admit since I've already told him--I didn't want it to be my only Christmas present. Yep. I said it...

So we let it go. And after playing one over Christmas break, and falling in love with the red Ed Hardy bag and iPod I got from him, we sarted looking everywhere for one. Everyday. For about a month. I'm not kidding. I knew when Best Buy got in their shipments. When to call Game Stop. At that point, I had paid on some student loans, had other things we wanted to do, so I talked myself out of one.

The next day, Game Stop got in about 15. Crap. Are you serious? I just remembered I was 27, not 15 or male, and that it was just a game. Until I found out I was better at bowling than Shane is.

**little snickers**

He is competitive. His fitness age according to the Wii is 44. Mine--65. He feels weird about dating an older woman now. I don't feel bad about making him do ab/leg lifts with a medicine ball and that he hurts from me making him learn the eliptical machine at the gym. He even told me the nights we should take off playing Wii before days we lift certain parts. Ha. Go ahead sucker...

I'll be working on my backhand in tennis and learning how to hit a homerun.
