Wiiner

I had a damn fun weekend. My birthday came early when Leo got me a Wii. Before you say anything, yes, I plan to get the fit.

Leo beat me roundly at golf. Our first game was somewhat embarrassing but I assure you that he now beats me by a much narrower margin.

But golf is for chumps, and I smacked his arse in boxing and bowling

Heck yah!

Also, I've been spinning.

that is some lovely spinning! glad to hear you had a great bday surprise too!

Oh, we just got our Wii this week, too. Who would've ever thought we'd play sports in our living room? It's definitely the only way my kids (ok, let's face it - me) would be able to hula hoop indoors. Have fun! :-)

Oh how I covet that yarn - love, love, love the colors & it looks so soft! Ymum! Oddly enough, I have a Wii Fit but no Wii. My daughter has a Wii (well actually she bought it for her husband for his BD last June) & wanted a Wii Fit. They are being super cautious about spending money because they still haven't sold their house here. Target had them on sale so I thought I'd have one sent to her. Well, of course, by noon Sunday they were out of stock. I spent last Monday with my other daughter (federal holiday) we went yarn shopping & bead shopping (her drug of choice) & stopped at Target. Of course they had them in stock in the store. I bought one thinking she could take it to her sister next week when she goes to Ca (she has to go to SF for work & is spending a few days afterward in Palo Alto) or we could take it when we go in March. For some reason, SO decided that DD shouldn't have to wait until mid-March & had Amazon send one to her! Well - I've been wanting a Wii anyway - loved playing with it at their house. And have read great things about the Wii Fit. Now all I have to do is find a Wii!

We have WiiFit and I find it generally pretty hysterical and awesome and bound to put me in a good mood. Also great, Animal Crossing City Folk. So cute.

mai:

hah! what an awesome gift! and beautiful handspun! when is your bday?

Ha! You're cracking me up with the Wii! Yay for early b-day presents. :)

Happy early birthday! I love my Wii...did you know when you hit Pro in bowling they give you a ball with stars? Love the spinning...such a wonderful colorway! )

Vraiment jolie cette laine !

Love the wii, love yoga on the wii, but most of all I love your spinning. I'm a sucker for purple yarn and yours is just a yummy shade of purple!

Kate:

Kat:
