Wii

The Mrs finally found it. The Wii fitness board and fitness plus or whatever it is called. The Mrs got a Wii for christmas from the family and we have been playing it quite a bit in the last couple weeks. I have noticed a few funny things that she does that are most amusing. For instance, one of them is in the boxing part of Wii Sports. She will start in line with me, about 3-4 feet away from the TV, but once the announcer goes 'fight' she starts throwing punches like a mad woman and after only 30 seconds of boxing she is right up next to the TV throwing punches like a machine gun. I don't even have time to block anything because if I block one punch she manages to land about 30 other rapid fire ones. I lose every single match, mainly not because of the skill of the other player but because I find it hard to throw a Wii punch when I am doubled over laughing from her antics.

She went to Costco with a friend today while I stayed home (nursing a bit of a cold and sore throat) and she bought the Wii fitness board as well as Rayman Ravin Rabbits 2. I can not even begin to describe the amusement that we are having with the two games. Though, on the down side, I have discovered due to the wonders of video game technology that I have now been classed as 'overweight'. Yep, me...the person that would have sworn at a young age that I would have never broken that 100lbs mark am now overweight. I am about 82kg at 5'11" which gives me a BMI of around 24.6 and the ideal BMI for someone of that height is around 22BMI. So, think I should have kept my new years resolution of going to the gym every day for at least 45 minutes of a work out (treadmill, cycle...even the pool for 45 minutes of dog paddling).

I think the only thing I can say at this moment is that perhaps my excuse to her before xmas as to why we have not gotten a Wii was correct. I kept saying that there is no Wii cause with our competitive nature as well as back couch game playing (you know, when one is playing the game but the other sits behind them going "jump..no jump..come on, jump now..not now but NOW...sheesh, you suck!") the divorce would be quite at coming and quite messy.*G* Guess we will just have to wait and see if we do make it to our 4 year anniversary this year in December*G*
