We finally bought a Wii today. Well, we bought the console off his brother, and then bought the games at the store. We’ve been planning to get one since new year’s, and finally got it. Better late than never?

It’s pretty cute, I must say. I know I’m waaay behind the times in trying this console out for the first time, but I thought it was overrated for the longest time. And the fact that they are still impossible to get a hold of was a big turnoff, although it makes sense from a business standpoint. Nevertheless, I finally gave it a chance, or I will whenever he stops playing it!!

Now, if you remember correctly, we mainly decided to get one to use Wii Fit Plus. Eamon did a lot of research on studies of the software, and it seemed like a fun way to stay kind of in shape for those of us that don’t exercise. Me, basically. And since he knew we were getting one eventually, he stopped his usual exercise… “I’ll do it later.” Uuuuh huh. He keeps making such a big deal about wanting to build muscle fast, how he was so buff in high school and took all those protein pills, how he should be doing that again. Well, the minute we got it, he set it up and has been playing Paper Mario ever since, the new Wii Fit Plus box sitting unopened on the floor.

I feel like I’ve been duped. Will he ever actually use the fitness game?

And I still haven’t gotten a chance to play!!

Have you played Wii? What’s your favorite video game?

The one thing I love about going home is my mom. She is always doing something silly. Well, I guess obsessive is the word. And she is a fiesty ball of energy, so once she gets started, she just keeps going and going and going…

What is it this time? joint pain. Haha, made you look with that title didn’t I?  Just making sure you’re paying attention.

It’s adorable. She’s getting old, though she doesn’t want to admit it. But now that she hit the over 50 mark she has to start taking care of herself. I come home and see all these different supplements and books to try to take better care of herself. She has all these heating pads for her knees, special shoes, gels to massage them with, and so on. When she gets going, she goes all the way apparently. And then there’s the pain in her hands. She has been a crafter all her life, so I guess I know what I have to look forward too as well. I think the cutest thing she’s doing now is yoga. She finally figured out how a dvd player works and has a yoga movie she does every day. Aww. She is a bit hesitant to change, and was a runner all her life, but can’t run because of the pain. I’m amazed she didn’t just keep running out of spite!

What did she obsess over in the past? When we were younger, she was the mom who fought like crazy for her daughters. High school band was a horrible experience for me, I was mistreated by the band director, and she STILL won’t let that go. Every time I come home that comes up somehow and she starts yelling she gets so mad. So I’ve learned, don’t ever piss that woman off!

For the past year it’s been her blood pressure. She is so stressed and angry about things that it has affected her for the worse. Her blood pressure is around 170, and apparently it’s supposed to be 80, lol. To understand my mother, have you ever seen the show Malcom in the Middle?

My mother is Lois. Not so bad, but in general, that is the best way to describe her. Now she’s changing her diet to help her blood pressure, but I can’t tell her that’s not going to do much good. How do you tell an overly stressed, fiesty, angry woman she needs to calm down!? It’s suicide. Maybe the yoga will help? But since she has to change, of course we all have to change. So she’s taking us down with her, I hope out of love. 

Now I get to go downstairs and have a low fat, low carb, no butter dinner. :,( I believe today it’s salmon. Whoot. (I’m not a fish person) At least its only a visit.

Do your parents have any funny habits/traits? Are you health conscious? Do you do yoga?

I take it back. You know what would be more beneficial than quick weight loss? A menstrual pill that actually worked. I hate that certain time of the month, which unfortunately is right now.

I used to be a lucky one, no symptoms whatsoever. I thought women were over exaggerating when they complained about cramps, even thought some women were weak. Boy, I learned my lesson.

Around June of last year I guess I hit a maturity level with my body. All of the sudden by non existent symptoms were full blown. 2 full days of miserable pain. I can’t sleep, can’t stand up straight, and all I can think about is how my clothes just don’t fit.

For two whole days it’s like a rubber band is attached from my ribcage to my hips, and if I try to stand up straight, it gets pulled, causing me to hunch more. And there’s a miserable pressure building up in my stomach. I’m sorry I ever doubted you ladies, I’ve learned my lesson. Now not even Midol will be my friend.

Oooooow. I’m soooooooooo tired. My body is falling asleep, but my mind is wide awake in misery right now. At least its not the whole five days. Wait… I probably just set myself up there for the future. Crap.

And what really pisses me off is the men who think we women make an excuse of our period and use it to act however we please.  No. I wish they could take a walk in our shoes for a moment.

Do you get bad cramps? What do you do on your period?

Viola! The new me:

Yes, that is Lelouch Lamperouge in the background. Mmmmmm Lelouch. He watches over me all day, lol. (Is it weird to fangirl over an anime character? )

Not too shabby. I hardly ever update my profile picture. I’m too critical of my self photos. I feel like this makes me look… young. Not polished and mature, but bright eyed and hopeful. Maybe it’s just because it’s so short. But it’s weird having my hair not lie flat at the ends. It actually protrudes out a bit, flips out at random angles and gives it some sort of volume. I think I like it better than the mess my hair was before, but I don’t love it. Maybe it’ll grow on me, but most likely it’ll just grow out, lol.

But I do agree, my brows look a lot less wild now. Not that they were bad before, just natural. Maybe I’ll do it again. The only thing left to improve to help my self esteem? My love handles. But I haven’t been trying to hard. Sadly, Eamon is out of town, so I’m alone, and depressed. I ate a whole tub of frosting in a day. I don’t like being alone. Hah, maybe I need to buy diet pills. Maybe I need self control. Maybe both. Or maybe more friends.

Ever get your brows waxed? Do you like your current hairstyle?
