Babbling on..

Not much to write home/blog about here. One would think something of interest would be going on in the last month. Um...guess one would be wrong.

I must be able to conjure up something...we had a visit from Morgan and Nora! They bought us Boom Blox for the Wii. It's a fun game but again it's proven how inept I am when it comes to these sorts of games. Oh well, thank goodness I don't have to make a living at Jenga for the Wii. edit: guess I already mentioned this..;-D

However, I did find and purchase Wii Fit - exercises for the Boomers - out of shapers - don't need to exercise outside the confines of closed curtained living room - right infront of our own TV types. Quite possibly I spent too much time in front of my own TV which is a possible cause for my condition. Oh well, quite honestly I am enjoying using it. Some of the games/exercises are fun enough to want to continue doing and some are just downright scary/impossible and concern for risk of permanent injury. Can't remember the last time those legs could go behind my head with toes touching the floor and we are not likely to attempt it again. Oh yeah, I thought I'd give it a try; I got as far as laying on my back and lifting my legs off the floor...yup yup yup - not even close to getting them past my waist even with good visualization. Snort. Besides, I don't see how the Wii would even know if I was successful with that one or not anyway.

Moving right along...looks like we are going to have to do battle with the trucks in the backyard again this summer. Remember, the truck place likes to let refrigerator trucks park overnight - they need to keep the stuff frozen so they run their compressors. I don't mind the electric ones as much as the gas...water torture...it drives me crazy to hear that buzz/hum all the way into our living room now that we keep the windows open. We do have a noise ordinance with a 10pm deadline. I'm sure they would rather have me call them than the police. Time for a chat again but it annoys me that we have to go through this every year. Better get it done soon since our guest rooms face that direction.

That's about all I can muster up today - have a fine one all

When I visited the grand kids in OKC, my 4 year-old grandson taught me to how to wii bowl. Ha! I don't know how you pull off all the traveling you do; I'm wiped. Take care!

I can't wait to try your wii-fi so I can see if it's worth me buying. But then again, I do like new electronic toys.

The guest room faces the noise..Is it a loud noise?

DA

Elizabeth has a Wii and I've tried the fitness age thing and was very close to my actual age but I'm not going anywhere near the Wii Fit game. Some of those exerices look down right dangerous. She's enjoying it though.
