I'm Back!


It has been a bad month for blogging. First we had the election which made it hard to blog honestly and then winter came. The last couple of years we haven't had any real snow until January or so but not this year. Tonight's low is predicted to be 19 degrees. That is fahrenheit folks. When I was little growing up in upstate NY snow was fun. I have so outgrown the whole snow thing! Like totally. If I speak in valley girl will southern Californian weather appear outside my window? I have been trying to climb out of my gloom and blankets. Nothing better than a toasty warm electric blanket at night to warm my heart. Electronics once again to the rescue.

Speaking of electronics...Some time ago I mentioned I was thinking of getting a Wii Fit. Karl was out of town coincidentally at the same time I noticed Best Buy advertising Wii Fit. Being lonely and all I went over and bought one. We have all had lots of fun with our electronic fitness. My mother was down and she tried it out and pretty soon she also had a Wii and Wii Fit. My brother-in law was out of town and coincidentally my sister noticed her Best Buy also had them. We are a family of Wiiers. Karl does yoga every morning then plays some of the games. So far Mom is also putting her hour in every morning. I play but not daily like they do. I will have to up my game! I have yet to get across the tight rope and Mom tells me my score wouldn't even show up on her score board. Just too low! But hey, I have been to the rainbow in my floating bubble and she hasn't made it yet. Of course like everything in this family there is some competition going on. Competition is okay except when the only game you have the high score in is yoga breathing. Yep. I am good at breathing. Go figure.

Agreeing to have my picture taken while trying to do yoga on a Wii Fit board was not one of my better exercises in judgment. I manage about 20 minutes in the morning, unless I have a meeting first thing, then I skip it. It is fun to see improvement in my stability and control. I am hoping to keep it up through the winter, so that when bike season returns, I will be able to hit the ground riding. I also set up a roller bike trainer, which I will try and blog about later today.
I am glad you are back blogging Cindy!

I have to say that I missed my WII Fit while on travel the last couple of weeks. I'm just back from the airport and think a little WII yoga might be just the
antidote.

Bring your balance board for Thanksgiving! I see that our lovie movie rental place alos rents WII games.

First of all, I'm glad your back Cindy. I really missed you. Your blogs always give me something to think about. Now I'm thinking about getting a Wii Fit board. I should be able to do that yoga if I have some instruction. Maybe I need to give myself a Christmas present. Now I'm going to have to find something more exciting than fungus to put on my blog. Oh, by the way Karl, I enjoyed the pictures.

I continue to Wii in the toilet, or behind the bushes, as God intended.

I'm with Bill. When I was growing up, wee-wee was something very different.
And by the way where were you? I too enjoy your blogs.

Hails all! I own a budget tattoo salon in New York. Previously I bought all tattoo supplies at wholesale prices but my supplier got jailed (yeah, hard to believe) so I'm looking for a low cost tattoo supplies firm (online or offline) to buy tattoo equipment from. Here is an example of what I am interested in: Tattoo Ink. Thanks in advance for any ideas dudes! PM me or write me at: triple6tattoo@hotmail.com
