. . . and a damn liar. Why did I bring this Tool of Satan into the house anyway? Oh, right. The husband’s birthday. That still doesn’t explain why I had to get involved with it. But there it sat, whispering my name softly and winking at me, and while I may look tough on the outside, inside I am a molten vat of goo, especially when it comes to electronic things connected to TV screens.
This is nothing like Auntie DVD or Mr. Tivo, though. This thing wants to play with you. I should have known something was fishy when it asked me to step on the balance board and asked how much my clothes weigh. There was no choice for 56 pounds, so I chose 2. Then the lies began. And they weren’t sweet loving lies.
It spit out some ridiculous number for my weight, and then another stupid number for my BMI, and by the time it got to my “real age” it was getting downright RUDE. If you think I am about to share those numbers with you, you are barking up the wrong Tree Pose. (Yes, there is yoga, too.)
“Walking isn’t really your game, is it? Let’s try a balance exercise.” (Do you know how long I have been walking?)
“You seem to have trouble staying balanced. Do you find you rely too much on your vision?” (Thank goodness it can’t check my vision.)
After a fling at ski jumping and rolling balls into a hole, I was ready for some real sports. I switched discs and found my true calling. Bowling is my game, and I shouldn’t be surprised. I love a sport where you can eat, drink, and smoke right through the whole game.

Who knew you were going to get sucjed in. I havent bought one yet, because they dont have any in stock around here (wink,wink)
Hmmmm – after careful consideration I think I will pass on the wii fit. I don’t think I am ready for such personal questions.
As for the bowling – that sounds great! I’ll bring the beer and the spinach dip
My Son bought one and the kids (and the equipment) keep beconing me to come try. NO WAY will I subject myself to such lies and torture. My mirror and scales (and clothes) whisper enough lies!
I think you should stick to watching “The Bachelorette” . It’s safer that way:)
I really should try to look over things before sending them huh? Then I wouldn’t leave out letters like a “K” !
I feel better now thanks:)
I just got home from the hospital and the second thing I did was check on my bloggers. Hey, no one noticed I was gone!!!!
I suppose I will admit just how dumb I was. I bought the Wii Fit for the man, not knowing that I had to buy a Wii to play it on. And who knew that the Wii was still so hard to find? So I had to pay EXTRA for both. But he loves it, so there you are.
Dana, I totally missed you, but I thought it was probably computer problems–what the heck were you doing in the hospital?
I just finished reading everything I missed while I was “gone”. The word “gone” can be used to describe an unfortunate incarceration, death, what the dog is (dog gone) and the hospital. I’m home and in need of a WII !!!!!!
It told me the same thing about my balance! My favorite game though, is the free step. You have to “play” for several hours before you unlock it, but once you do it lets you just step on and off and you can change the channel back to TV and it will keep counting your steps.
Eat, drink, smoke and EAT NACHOS! Seriously, I’m so intrigued by the Wii. I almost bought one in Toys-R-US because they had a sign saying they were in stock. In stock! Not on sale. But for some reason that sign was calling to me, “buy me, buy me, buy me – even though no one in your house has the slightest interest in video games”. I think it is the Devil.
