Time Waster (If you thought T.V. was bad…)

Wait until you try the Nintendo Wii. Yep! We bought one! Why? I have NO idea! But I'm an ADDICT! I eat, sleep, work and play Wii (which is why I've been a "blog slacker" lately.. haha!). It's the coolest thing ever! We bought the Wii Fit game and it is awesome! Puts a whole new meaning to "fun" exercise let me tell ya! There's about 50 different exercises on the Wii Fit and you can compete against eachother and anyone who knows me knows that I can be a "little" competitive at times! Let's just say my new life goal is to OBLIVIATE Matt's scores! So far Matt is in the lead on the Hula Hoop (There is something so not right about that. How could a boy possibly beat me - a girl - at the Hula Hoop? WTF? <--- Sorry, I had to throw that in there!) It's just too damn funny. I have serious anxiety over this. I NEED to beat him. Especially so I don’t have to listen to him walking around calling himself "the champion" anymore! Or saying that he "conquered" it or singing the "perfect" song which goes something like, "I got a perfect. I got a perfect!" You just don't know what that's like? I do have him on step areobics though! The boy might be able to wiggle his hips better but he sure ain't got no rythm! (I'll have to sneak a video of Matt "hula-hooping" so you can see how funny he looks =) We also play Mario Kart. Which totally has all the old tracks with totally better awesomer graphics! And I think you all should know that I am the BEST Rainbow Road racer ever! OMG - I am becoming a video game junkie. Reality check? Is there anything I should be doing that is more important than playing Nintendo Wii?

P.S. I'm ALWAYS Yoshi (because he's the best at beating "Matt the Monkey" or "Diddy Kong"! Haha.)

Halloweentown!

I didn't get a chance to take too many pics of my "decor" but I wanted to at least share my Halloweentown! It's the coolest thing ever! Everything in the pic either lights up or moves. (I couldn't turn it on for the pic though because of the glare.) Isn't it cute though? I have this strange feeling that I am slowly turning into my mother?

Some of you wouldn't know it but I'm becoming rather "domesticated" these days! I've been baking again. Yes, I have… and not the easy stuff either! It's funny that I'm writing about this today because I was sitting here thinking to myself this morning that my "fat pants" feel tight today. I wonder why! So here are some pics to show you what I've been working on (or, proof of my lame 25-year-old life! Whichever way you want to look at it!) Think about it…. I took pictures of my "baked goods". Who does that? But that's what I've been up to lately… I don't go "out" with friends, I don't have any hobbies (other than work); I just stay home on the weekends… bake cookies… and take pictures of them. What the H-E-double hockey sticks is wrong with me?! As you can see from the pics, my creations include Halloween cut-outs, a Pumpkin Cake (which I was extremely proud of by the way!) and I also baked a pumpkin log but I don't have any pictures of that one (it's a little boring looking, I think). The pumpkin cake looks rather fancy (there is a reason) because I entered it in to a baking contest. See.. we had this Halloween Party at work so I decided to participate in the bake-off and I LOST! How could my beautiful, cuddly cute little pumpkin cake LOSE! I worked SO hard on it! I stayed up until 1AM two nights in row making the damn thing! That's the last contest I enter! I do; however, have a "theory" on "the loss". I've come to the conclusion that since the "staff liasons" were the judges, and 3 out of 4 of them were from the 50th floor, I'm not surprised that 3 out of 4 of the prizes went to contestants from the 50th floor.. Cheaters.

So much for calling it the "award-winning" pumpkin cake the entire drive into the city! I made Matt drive me in (because I had to transport it in a cardboard box) and I have to say by that morning he was pretty annoyed with hearing me talk about my "soon-to-be" prize-winning pumpkin cake! Haha! Oh, well….

Guess I'm not the "confectionist" that I thought I was?
