My waist size is WHAT????

I am always weary of putting too much of my personal life in the public eye but I have an excuse this time. I am researching and testing a product for my avid readers! My husband and I bought a Wii a few years ago and have enjoyed playing Rock Band and battling each other in tennis and a few other games. I have to admit I am not a "gamer" at all but I have really enjoyed having the Wii here at the house! Especially when friends come over and after a few glasses of wine its fun to see everyone gear up and play rock band. Who doesnt love to see uncle Taylor sing his little heart out? That being said, Wii has come out with a fitness game that comes with a balance board. You stand on it and it measures your weight, bmi and tests your balance capabilities. You make your own little "Mii" they call it and dress them how you want. What I like most about the game is the daily changes in your body that it tracks for you. It also lets you know how close you are or how FARRRR you are from your goal weight. I need that reminder everyday to stay motivated. The "work outs" are not hard. They are small little exercises that are not really pushing you and the cardio is kind of a joke. That being said they came out with ANOTHER game called Personal Trainer.

Its a little more hard core and you can customize your work outs and take a 30 day challenge. Virtual exercise is something that I NEVER thought would happen in my life time. It's either going to really motivate me to lose that extra baby weight ( I call it baby weight but its been there since college so I guess I should say college weight) or I am going to end up eating popcorn on the couch and watching the little virtual girl really kick but like so many other exercise videos I have stashed under my tv. I will try to post at least once a week about my success, failure and my opinion of the game.

15 lbs is the goal....now it's out there...YIKES! I need some motivation...right after I eat this TWIX :)

Albert Einstein

Everyone knows about Albert Einstein and all of his success. I like to suck up any amount of wisdom he had. Here is a great quote for the day from the genius himself.

Better Beard Bureau

This hat from Freights Shop is so funny! I love it! Read the description from the Etsy site...

Remember that time in grade 9 when you tried to grow a beard, and proudly sported a few sparse hairs?

Maybe you're still in that situation, maybe you can't have a beard at work, maybe your girlfriend thinks real beards smell like cheese or maybe you just want a cozy man-hat for those chilly days! Whichever it is, this hat is for you!

Comes with one mustache (shown in photos) but can be interchanged with others from the collection. Snaps on the hat and mustaches make it a quick and easy way to nab that stylish 'stache you've always wanted.

Inside the cheesy ones I laugh the whole time but the really teeth chattering, hair raising on the back of your neck, high pitch squeal houses are sooo much fun. Here is a list of the 13 scariest ones in the country....would you go in or are you too scared?

James Taylor

It amazes me how entertained even I can be when watching Sesame Street. They have the most incredible songs, cameos and their humor stays to date. Here is a video that I cannot get out of my head. It's so adorable and it is fun to see James Taylor so young. For those who only think of James Taylor as the mellow kind hearted man that he is, well, you are missing his dark side. His bio left my jaw on the floor.
