With Any Luck I'll Get Accused of Copying Dooce And My Stats Will Go Up.

So there seems to be a lot of DRAMA floating around these days about who's blog is copying whose. I think I read everyone who is supposed to lifting from everyone and it amuses me that I never realized I was consuming all these blogs twice. Why the hate people? Really, things don't usually get this snarky until AFTER Blogher. Looks like this year folks are trying to get a jump on things.

So after I read all silliness I cruised over the Dooce and saw something I didn't expect. A contest - OMG now Dooce is copying Pioneer Woman! <You all get that that's a joke right?> She's giving away some Wiis and showing pictures from her Wii Fit party.

Then I realized that I've been meaning to write a post about how much we love our Wii Fit. And how much fun we've had it with it. But our Wii Fit parties look a bit different than super cool Utah parties.

They involve a lot of short people. And umm evidently Mommy drinks a little wine.

Seriously though we love our Wii. And this comes from someone who well, hates video games. But after all the raves I decided to give this one a try and it's been great. It's even gotten my 70 year-old mother up off the couch and moving around which is something to say. She's addicted to bowling.

I stood in line and got a Fit board the day they went on sale because I knew they would be impossible to find afterwards. We brought it home and have been addicted to the darn thing since then. I started out with a Wii Fit age of something like 43 (I'm 41) and now I'm down to 35. And you know what I'm feeling it.

I'm not going to claim that it's the same thing as going to the gym and doing some well rounded workout but let me tell you after playing the games for 30 minutes you feel it. Don't believe me, try keeping 5 hula hoops in the air for 3 minutes   - 400 spins both ways baby!!

Even our just turned three year old gets into it. Her favorite is the run because it doesn't require her to run on the board. She can just carry the controller and that little stinker is fast!

So here is what I'm saying - If you don't have one of these things, get your butt over to Dooce and leave a comment so you have a chance of winning one. If that fails then download the Sunday flyers early, find out who's going to have them on Sunday and get in line the first chance you get. It if worth every penny. It has amused every person who has played it from 2 year olds to 73 year olds.

This coming from a Mom who would rather do this with her family than anything else.

 

Ahh crap, Dooce posted pictures of the beach last week didn't she?
